Abstract
These results suggest that Disability Support Levels have a limited influence on the dental health condition of individuals with intellectual disabilities residing in a facility with routine dental interventions. Obtaining cooperation for maintaining oral health becomes increasingly challenging as support needs increase. Furthermore, the results of the ADL evaluation imply that assessing the degree of cooperation in oral care based on the general level of support needed may be enhanced by considering the level of independence in activities requiring intellectual ability, specifically the items related to personal care and daily living, as indicated in the certification survey for Disability Support Levels, for effective screening.
