    Journal: Dent Clin North Am; 2009 Apr; 53(2):329-38, x. PubMed ID: 19269401.
    Abstract:
    Individuals who have cerebral palsy (CP) face many physical challenges throughout their lifetimes in addition to societal barriers that can have an impact on quality of life. The ability to access appropriate dental care has long been an issue for people who have disabilities. Dentists should be integral members of teams of professionals involved in optimizing the health of individuals who have CP. As with all members of this interdisciplinary team, oral health care providers should have a thorough knowledge of the medical, cognitive, and rehabilitative issues associated with CP. With this knowledge the best possible health care can be provided.
