ABSTRACT Objectives Evaluating oral and dental health status in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy (CP) in relation to gross motor skills and types of CP. Materials and methods Cross-sectional study was conducted at el-Shatby Hospital for Children, Alexandria, Egypt. Oral examination for 62 children with CP between the age range 3 and 12 years was performed, and decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT)/decayed and filled primary teeth (dft), simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), and modified gingival index (MGI) were charted. Maxillofacial defects, dental problems, and drooling of saliva were assessed. Children's CP type, motor milestone, and gross motor skills were determined. All statistical analyses were carried out at p<0.05 and 0.01. Results About 84.0% of children had spastic quadriplegia, 41.9% were sit-supported, 32.3% had level IV Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), 29.0% had level V no maxillofacial defects, 14.5% had dentin exposure greater than one-third of the surface, and 22.6% had frequent/severe drooling saliva. Caries prevalence comprised 54.8%, 53.2% had poor oral hygiene (OHI-S), and 43.6% had severe gingival inflammation (MGI). The first best predictor variable for dft was “motor milestone” The GMFCS (levels IV and V) was the first best predictor variable for DMFT, OHI-S, and MGI. Conclusion The majority of children had dental caries, poor oral hygiene, and severe gingival inflammation. Children who were sit-supported, had no neck support, and stand-supported were suffering from dental caries (dft) more than children who were sitting and walking alone. Children with levels IV/V GMFCS were prone to have dental caries (DMFT), susceptible to suffer from bad oral hygiene, and older children experiencing severe gingivitis more than younger ones.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of drooling in individuals with cerebral palsy and assess the effect these factors have on these individuals oral health. Materials: A total of 113 individuals with cerebral palsy between the age of 5 and 18 years were examined. The incidence and severity of drooling were determined using the index given by Blasco et al and the oral heath was recorded using a modified WHO performa. The data was then subjected to statistical analysis. Results: While drooling may not predispose the individual to dental caries individuals with drooling have a poorer oral hygiene score than those without. Conclusions: There is no significant difference in the Dental caries status, Orthodontic findings or the debris component of the Oral Hygiene Index of individuals who drool saliva and those who do not.

Introduction: Dental and oral hygiene is important in supporting oral health in particular and general body health. Dental and oral hygiene can be maintained by controlling plaque. The aim of the study was to obtain data on the level of dental and oral hygiene in cerebral palsy children in the Sekolah Luar Biasa Bagian D Yayasan Pembinaan Anak Cacat, Sukajadi, Bandung. Methods: The research method is descriptive. Samples were obtained by total sampling technique which has criteria for children under 18 years old. A total of 43 children were obtained from all cerebral palsy children. Data were obtained by clinical examination, to calculate the level of dental and oral hygiene, OHI-S from Green and Vermillion was used by applying disclosing solution on the tooth surface, with criteria: good if the OHI value = 0.1-1.2; mean if the value of OHI = 1.3-3.0; bad if the value of OHI = 3.1-6.0 . Result: The results showed that the average dental and oral hygiene of cerebral palsy children in the Sekolah Luar Biasa Bagian D Yayasan Pembinaan Anak Cacat, Sukajadi, Bandung was 3.27. Conclusion: Dental and oral hygiene in cerebral palsy children in Sekolah Luar Biasa Bagian D Yayasan Pembinaan Anak Cacat, Sukajadi, Bandung is included in the bad criteria.
