Description
Iveta Abola and co-authors survey dental knowledge among Latvian patients with phenylketonuria in a 2024 paper. This inherited disorder blocks normal use of an amino acid, so patients live on low-protein diets and acidic amino acid mixes that strain teeth. Questionnaires go to all diagnosed patients in Latvia before and after oral care guidance is given. Seventy-nine of one hundred one reply.
Children grasp care better than adults after guidance, they find. Under-eighteens brush and floss far more after the advice. Adults over eighteen still brush less and rinse less after formula use. Clear gains appear only in the young group, so adult focused teaching is needed.
