Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that is aetiologically and clinically heterogeneous. Behavior of the autistic child makes delivery of oral hygiene and dental treatment a problem because of its lack of communication and decreased intelligence. The status of dental health depends on the care of oral hygiene to the auxilary help of parents and educators. Poor food habits are common and diet is often antithetic to good oral health, persistent desire for soft food or sweets is often seen. The caries experience is a comparable with a lower hygiene level than those of the normal children. The dental health education of the autistic children is inherently unresponsive to demonstration, resists eye to eye contact and will frequently resist any effort to establish personal contacts with the dental personnel. Patient management will therefore be qualitatively different from person to person and shall be based on a unique management of the behavioral characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to help the dentist recognized the problems associated with dental treatment, the behaviour in a dental enviroment of the autistic child and their coordination ability required to be assessed, so that the right dental treatment could be adjusted.

The birth of a baby with a cleft palate is usually unanticipated and the parents feel hurt, disappointed, even resentful and inadequate. The feeding of the infants with cleft palate is the first and most important concerns of the parents to survive. Dentists in the cleft medical team can help provide basic and more positive ones, so that parents are assured that they will be able to care and feed their infants. Feeding for the baby is very important for both parents. Feeding a cleft palate infant is best with bottle-fed or breast-fed. Feeding and swallowing patterns by the baby with a cleft palate are invariably altered and modified. With clefts, swallowing occurs without the assistance of compressive strength by pressure built up in the mouth. The feeding techniques need some modifications from the normal child. The dentist should participate as a team, to help and describe feeding procedures that have been utilized in infants with cleft palate and to encourage consultation and communication between parents and specialists.
