Abstract
A 10-year longitudinal report of case of an institutionalized autistic male dental patient is described. Interpretation of the data in the clinical and medical charts during this period points to possible clues to facilitating treatment for autistic individuals. One potentially important finding is the apparent inverse relationship that was found between level of sedation and patient cooperation. The impact of the specific medical diagnosis on the comprehensive care for these patients is also addressed.Entities:
