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.

Cerebral palsy, one of the most common causes of physical disability in children, is a group of complex neurological disorders caused by non-progressive injury to the developing brain which leads to abnormalities of movement and posture. Dental surgeons must be aware of common practical neurological problems encountered by these children on a day-to-day basis. Awareness of the various factors and strategies mentioned in the article will not only have a major impact on the child’s oral health but also on the quality of life of these children and their families.
