A Pilot Project to Facilitate Dental Care and Reduce Barriers For Youth With Disabilities
NCT06710483 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This randomized clinical trial is an innovative pilot project to determine the acceptance and impact of telehealth visits on youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), their caregivers, and dentists. The impact of the telehealth visit will be assessed by: 1) determining if the intervention group was more likely to achieve the set goals and 2) Likert scaled surveys of satisfaction of caregivers and dentists. Qualitative data will be collected to inform improvement on clinical interviews by the dentist.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06710483
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06710483 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Boston University, which has 150 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Intellectual Disability, Variable appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Pre-Dental Telehealth (PDT) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06710483 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
