    Author: Waldman HB, Perlman SP.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2000; 48(5):566-9; quiz 570-1. PubMed ID: 11199637.
    Abstract:
    In the mid-1990s, approximately 54 million American people had some level of disability, including 26 million who had a severe disability. In addition, more than three-quarters of individuals with mental retardation/developmental disabilities were deinstitutionalized during the past 30 years and now reside in our communities, relying upon community practitioners for needed services. This review is provided to make dental practitioners aware of the magnitude and dimensions of the situations in which persons with special needs require their services.
