“…Dental injuries showed a greater prevalence among patients with disabilities compared with healthy persons, even though these children do not participate in contact sports or radical physical activities . Generally, for individuals with disabilities, dental trauma may occur because of inadequate motor coordination, uncontrolled movements of the head, seizures, or delayed response to surrounding obstacles …”

Background/Aims There is a lack of information about the incidence of dental trauma in Turkish children with disabilities and those in detention centers. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of dental trauma in two groups estimated to have high‐potential risk, young prisoners and disabled children, compared with healthy peers. Materials and methods A total of 530 children were included in the study. The participants were divided into three groups: Disability Group (n=238), Imprisoned Children Group (n=231) and school children (n=61) as the Control Group. The occurrence of dental trauma was evaluated according to age and gender. Statistical evaluations were done by using SPSS statistics‐22 programme. Results The mean age of all participants was 14.85 ± 3.43 years. Males predominated (75.8%). In the Imprisoned Children Group, not only maxillary and mandibular incisors but also canines had dental trauma. Time of imprisonment and education level did not have any significant effect on dental trauma occurrence among children in detention centers. In the Disability Group, the disability type did not have any significant effect. In the Control Group, maxillary central incisors were the most traumatized teeth. The incidence of dental trauma was 11.3% in the Imprisoned Children Group, 4.6% in the Disability Group, and 9.8% in the Control Group. There was a significant difference among the three groups (p:0.027; p<0.05). Conclusion Dental trauma incidence may differ among disabled, imprisoned, and healthy children. Hence, children from different parts of the community should be included in epidemiological studies to provide a more accurate incidence of dental trauma.

“…For patients who require special care, the prevalence of dental trauma varies between 4.6% and 20.3% depending on the type of disability . Specifically, in people with CP, a prevalence of 9.2% to 57% for TDI has been described . However, some authors state that subjects with CP have the same prevalence of traumatic injury as healthy individuals…”

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition caused by brain damage before, during, or shortly after birth. Communication can be a challenge when treating patients with CP. Some patients can communicate verbally, while others use augmentative alternative communication tools or have individualized means of communication. Therefore, professional dental treatment in individuals with CP is challenging, especially if the patient is affected by dental trauma and requires emergency treatment. This report shows how individualized communication skills assessment allowed us to successfully manage a 9‐year‐old patient with CP, who suffered extrusive luxation of the permanent lower incisor. In the present case, the teeth were repositioned briefly after the trauma had occurred and then stabilized with a flexible splint according to international guidelines. The teeth remained vital and periodontal repair was observed during the 4‐year follow‐up.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a set of nonprogressive neuromuscular disorders due to defects in the developing fetal brain, this group of children at risk of dental caries and gingival diseases owing to dietary factors, poor oral hygiene, lack of parental knowledge concerning oral hygiene and problems related to dental management. The study aimed to assess the parental knowledge, attitude and practices of the oral health and caries status of the Sudanese Cerebral Palsy children.
