Para isso, foram abordados os obstáculos relacionados ao estabelecimento de vínculos com o usuário e sua família, aos sistemas de referência e contra-referência à atenção secundária, à infra-estrutura e ao exercício profissional. A partir dos problemas detectados, foram propostas soluções relacionadas à formação do cirurgião-dentista, à prática clínica, à comunicação verbal e não verbal e ao uso de alternativas específicas para este grupo. Observa-se que as consultas periódicas e sistematizadas aos serviços de atenção básica ajudam no controle dos processos de adoecimento e permitem uma atenção mais humanizada aos pacientes com necessidades especiais.

Aim- This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the barriers to receive oral care among patients with special health care needs. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 patients seeking dental treatment in the special care unit of Oral medicine department. A self-administered questionnaire was employed for data collection. Results: It was found that nearly 56% of respondents listed fear towards dental treatment as an important barrier which in turn prevents them from gaining access to dental care. Around 52% of patients considered their underlying medical problem as a reason for not seeking dental care as their comorbid condition would increase their fear of dental treatment, 43% of patients considered physical barriers or in need of caretakers as a barrier to Dental care. 10% of the population stated that they do not have barriers to access Dental care. Conclusion: The major barriers to oral health care utilization among patients with special needs were fear-related and hence these patients need attention towards fear alleviation and make dental care painless and simple.
