    Author: Gurling FG, Fanning EA, Leppard PI.
    Journal: Aust Dent J; 1980 Aug; 25(4):201-4. PubMed ID: 6449922.
    Abstract:
    Statistical analysis of data from a field survey of 132 handicapped children confirmed that a questionnaire approach is reliable in identifying children with potential behavioural and co-ordination problems within a dental environment. Assessment of the behaviour and co-ordination of 2,082 handicapped children aged 3-16 years, inclusive, suggested that approximately 53 per cent were manageable in a normal dental surgery and 79 per cent had the necessary co-ordination for routine dental care.
