Disabled persons’ chairside dentistry is challenging. We aimed for a retrospective breakdown of dental services delivered to disabled patients by dental students and to discuss feasibility of a chairside approach. Consecutive patients, who received scheduled dental treatment by dental students from 2002 to 2021, were included. Demographic data, medical diagnoses, number of treatment sessions, performed treatments, and treatment break-offs were collected and analyzed with descriptive statistics. In total, 224 individuals with various disabilities (mean age 36.4 ± 14.6 years) received dental services in 2282 sessions altogether (10.3 ± 11. sessions per patient). Professional tooth cleaning was the most frequently provided treatment (55.8% of sessions). A total of 654 teeth were restored with fillings, 97 teeth were extracted, 56 teeth had endodontic treatment, and 25 removable dentures were fitted. Treatment break-off due to incompliance and referral to dental general anesthesia occurred in 74 patients (33%). Chairside treatment of disabled persons by dental students is feasible in many cases. Our study may serve as an incentive for clinicians/researchers to report on treatment modalities and outcomes of chairside dentistry in patients with special oral health care needs, preferably by the use of prospective study designs, to contribute data and strategies in the fight for control of oral health inadequacies.
