Abstract Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in communication, social interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviours, which collectively interfere with their ability to independently maintain a routine and participate in a typical daily lifestyle. Children with ASD face distinctive oral health challenges due to poor oral hygiene practices, selective dietary habits, and medication side effects, compounded by behavioural and sensory sensitivities.
Aim & Objectives: To review current literature on oral health issues, barriers to dental care, and evidence-based management strategies for children with ASD in paediatric dentistry.
Data Sources: Focusing on oral health status, treatment challenges, and innovative approaches in dental management for autistic children. The literature search was from databases: PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Wiley & Elsevier’s.
Results: Children with ASD demonstrate increased vulnerability to caries, periodontal disease, and self-injurious oral habits. Key barriers include communication deficits, dental anxiety, and limited professional preparedness. Effective strategies include individualized behavioural interventions, sensory-adapted dental environments, caregiver education, and selective pharmacological support. Innovative tools such as digital communication aids and virtual reality also show promise.
Conclusion: Pediatric dentists must adopt preventive, tailored, and interdisciplinary strategies to improve oral health outcomes and enhance quality of life for children with ASD.
