Caries experience of disabled school‐age children

Abstract

A group of 415 disabled school-age children representing 10 different disabling conditions (hereafter called diagnostic groups) were examined and DMFT registered. Parents were interviewed about problems and habits relevant to dental health. The purpose was to study the relationship between different background variables and DMFT. It was assumed that the DMFT might have been influenced by both various predisposing conditions and factors of everyday life. Therefore two indices were made. A multiple classification analysis (MCA) was used to assess the relative importance of different background variables. Age, mother's education, everyday life factors and diagnosis were the variables showing the strongest association with DMFT. Children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, epilepsy and cystic fibrosis had a higher DMFT than the other diagnostic groups.

Dental utilization for Medicaid‐enrolled children with cystic fibrosis

“…Two later studies however showed a higher dmft score for Norwegian preschoolers with CF than for both other disabled Norwegian preschoolers and disabled Norwegian school aged--children (47,48). A small study of Polish children showed similarly high caries rate in both individuals with CF and healthy individuals in 23 matched pairs (49).…”

“…Toplum sağlığı açısından ağız ve diş sağlığına gereken önemin verilmesi, özellikle engelli bireylerde gelişebilecek sistemik hastalıkların prevalansında da ciddi düşüşlere imkân sağlayacaktır. Endemik olarak her yıl belirli aylarda ortaya çıkan tonsillit ve farenjit hastalıklarının kontrol altına alınması ve bulaş yollarının minimalize edilmesi açısından yapılması gereken çalışmalar ağız ve diş sağlığını da yakından ilgilendirmektedir 14,15,16,17,18 .…”

“…A PC possui como característica marcante alterações psicomotoras e falta de controle neuromuscular (ADELSON, 1957;ALBUM;COHEN, 1961;ALVES;ACERBI;MAGALHÃES, 2001;FEUER, 1970;FIGUEIREDO, 1998;FOURNIOL, 1998;FREGONEZE, 2001;GUARÉ;CIAMPONI, 2003;ISSHIKI;KITAFUSA;IGUCHI, 1970;KAUFFMANN, 1956;KAVANAGH, 1982;LANES;VILHENA DE MORAES, 1997;LEONARD, 1 950;BECKER;RAMOS, 1997;MAGNUSSON;VAL, 1963;MOSS, 1951;NIELSEN, 1990;HOLST, 1987;SZNAJDER et al, 1965;TOMITA;FAGOTE, 1999). A atuação do cirurgião dentista também pode se comprometer pela falta de coordenação motora, presente na cavidade bucal que se traduz em deficiência mastigatória; falta de coordenação na abertura e fechamento bucal; inabilidade para cuspir; bochechar respiração bucal; movimentos involuntários da cabeça e pescoço; e incontinência salivar (JORGENSEN;LEVINE;HURLEY, 1958;LEONARD, 1950;TOLINI, 1995).…”

“…A deficiência motora reduziria a possibilidade da manutenção adequada da higiene bucal pelo paciente que muitas vezes é considerada insatisfatória (ALBUM; COHEN, 1961;BROWN, 1976;FAGEN, 1968;FIGUEIREDO, 1998;FREGONEZE, 2001;GUARÉ;CIAMPONI, 2003;ISSHIKI, KITAFUSA;IGUCHI, 1970;KAVANAGH, 1982;LINDEMANN et al, 2001;MAGNUSSON;VAL, 1963;MANN et al, 1986;MITSEA et al, 2001;MOLLER, 1976;NIELSEN, 1990;POPE;CURZON, 1991;SHAW;MACLAURIN;FOSTER, 1986;STIEFEL et al, 1993;HOLST, 1987;HALLONSTEN;NIELSEN, 1992;SZNADJER et al, 1965;TOLINI, 1995;TOMITA;FAGOTE, 1999;WESSELS, 1960WESSELS, , 1978 Fagen (1968), Figueiredo (1998), Fregoneze (2001, Guaré e Ciamponi (2003), Kavanagh (1982), Magalhães;Becker e Ramos (1997), Magnusson e Val (1963), Mann et al (1986), Mitsea et al (2001), Moller (1976), Storhaug e Holst (1987), …”
