Besides, this research was a cross-sectional study, which conducted the χ^2 analysis to the research subjects and the medical conditions and proceeded ANOVA tests to the demographics and the satisfaction of the main caregivers.Results: For types of the disabled, multi-disabled patients were the most (46.5%) and for the combined disabled types, the retarded-disable accounted for 84.8%. For the disabled scales, the severely disabled, the moderately disabled, the extremely disabled, and the slightly disabled were for 34.8%, 33.2%, 24.3%, and 7.7% separately. For the transportation vehicles, taking the round bus of the hospital was 22.5%, taking a bus was for 21.8%. The commuting time within 30 minutes was for 46.5% .Besides, there were 27.7% of the participants thinking it was difficult for their commutes. The period of returns examines beyond 1-2 months was the most (54.8%). About 87.7% of the participants hoped that the center could increase the period and the number of outpatient services. And there were 85.2% of the participants needed reminds from the hospital to return examines. Those who were healed after being appeased and being body-constrained accounted for 34.5% and 28.4%. Those who completely cooperated were for 22.1%. Those having a general anesthetic were for 14.5%. There was non-significant difference between the disabled scales and the oral preventive items. Cleaning the teeth routinely was for 68.6%. Applying the fluorine routinely was for 72.8%. There were significant differences among the satisfaction of outpatient services including caregivers, ages, and occupations (p＜0.001), while there were non-significant difference between sexes and educational levels. The highest in overall scores was the institutional caregivers, whose average was 93.0 scores; in addition, the parents got 82.63 scores, and the family members got 81.79 scores. And there were around 94.8% of the candidates had the need for this center.Conclusions: The results revealed that the most patients going to this center were beyond the moderately disabled, and they all returned routinely for the oral preventive cares. For those various patients and caregivers, the dental clinics with fixed location and services for the disabled are the ideal permanent and convenient medical places.
