For the first time, it was shown that KiJu-PflEh is inadequately cared for and provided with dental care in comparison to peers in the general population. Increased dental care is urgently recommended as the KiJu-PflEh group has a high risk of caries. Medical information is also necessary to implement targeted prevention measures for all KiJu-PflEh. For this purpose, the introduction of a central database, which enables dental and general medical networking, should be driven forward. Furthermore, there is a need for more research to obtain primary data on the epidemiology of caries in KiJu-PflEh to verify the findings of the present pilot study.
