ADVANCED STEPS WITH VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE

Istanbul Aydin University, Anadolu Education and Culture Foundation, Altı Nokta Körler Foundation and Mustafa Aydin Foundation have established a consortium to provide support in the fields of health and education for the visually impaired. The first study carried out within this scope was carried out by Istanbul Aydin University Faculty of Dentistry (DentAydin) as dental screening and oral health education.

The oral and dental health education included topics such as tooth brushing techniques, dental floss use and healthy nutrition, aiming for individuals to protect their oral and dental health. In addition to the training, comprehensive dental screenings were carried out by DentAydin dentists. The oral health status of individuals was evaluated with these screenings.
