Abstract Aim: To assess the family impact scale (FIS) after full mouth .rehabilitation (FOR) with a group of Egyptian children with special healthcare requirements under general anesthesia. Participants and method: The caregivers were given the FIS questionnaire at baseline and 6-month postoperative visits. Medical and dental histories were collected. Results: The study comprised 17 caregivers, the average age of the caregivers was (36.4 ± 7.4), and the average age of children was (7.16 ± 3.3). Mothers were the primary caregivers (82.4%). The family impact scale was reported adversely prior to FOR under GA and considerably enhanced in all aspects tested (P<0.05) post FOR. Conclusions: Treating children with exceptional healthcare needs who have extensive dental caries under general anesthesia results in significant improvements for the entire family, not just the child. KEYWORDS: FIS, Family impact scale, Quality of life, oral health, full mouth rehabilitation, general anesthesia, Children with special healthcare needs. | ||
