“…This might be because as the severity of cleft increases the deformity also increases. This is similar to the study done by Chapple and Nunn, 3 in which the children with both cleft lip and palate had mean dmft double that of the children with only cleft lip, whereas in the study done by Kirchberg et al, 11 the difference was not found to be significant between the various types of clefts. In the study done by Besseling and Dubois, 2 the mean dmft was less for children with cleft lip as compared with the children with cleft lip and palate, but for mean DMFT, there was no significant difference among the various types of clefts.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the association of dental caries and dental anomalies among 5-to 15-year-old children with cleft lip and cleft palate. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among 500 children with cleft lip and/or cleft palate and 500 children without cleft of the age group 5 to 15 years. The clinical examination was carried out using decayed, missing, and fi lled teeth (DMFT) by Klein Plamer and Knutson, and dmft by Grubbel and 1997 World Health Organization (WHO) pro forma. Results:The results showed a statistically signifi cant increase in the prevalence of dental caries in children with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. The mean DMFT was found to be signifi cantly higher in operated children than in the children who were not operated. Other dental abnormalities included an increased frequency of enamel hypoplasia (p < 0.001), hyperdontia (p < 0.014), anterior, unilateral and bilateral cross-bite (p < 0.001), and open bite (p < 0.001). Conclusion:The results of this study show that children with cleft have higher prevalence of dental anomalies than the normal children. With increased occurrence of hypoplasia in ORIGINAL RESEARCH

“…The position of the teeth can make it difficult to thoroughly remove plaque and increases the risk of dental caries. 15 In addition, these children often have oral aversions and resist home oral hygiene activities. Orthodontic care is commonly required to correct dental malocclusions in these patients, and orthodontic appliances significantly increase the risk of dental caries.…”

Children with developmental disabilities often have unmet complex health care needs as well as significant physical and cognitive limitations. Children with more severe conditions and from low-income families are particularly at risk with high dental needs and poor access to care. In addition, children with developmental disabilities are living longer, requiring continued oral health care. This clinical report describes the effect that poor oral health has on children with developmental disabilities as well as the importance of partnerships between the pediatric medical and dental homes. Basic knowledge of the oral health risk factors affecting children with developmental disabilities is provided. Pediatricians may use the report to guide their incorporation of oral health assessments and education into their well-child examinations for children with developmental disabilities. This report has medical, legal, educational, and operational implications for practicing pediatricians.

“…e literature on CL/P subjects and dental caries is con�icting with reports suggesting that individuals born with oral cles have a higher risk of caries [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and there also exist studies that did not �nd any difference in caries experience between individuals born with cles and unaffected controls [12][13][14][15][16]. A recent meta-analysis on the frequency of caries in individuals born with cles was inconclusive [17].…”

Objectives. Compare the total salivary Streptococci and Lactobacilli counts in cle and noncle children with differing caries experiences, correlate the bacterial counts with dm/DMFT status and identify the different biotypes of Mutans Streptococci (MS). Patients. Group I included thirty subjects with dental caries (DC) and cle lip and palate (CL/P); Group II had thirty subjects with DC but without CL/P. Group III comprised a control of thirty subjects with neither DC nor CL/P. Methodology. Enumeration of total salivary Streptococci and Lactobacilli was done by the plate count method and correlation of counts with dm/ DMFT status examined. Differences in biochemical reactions were used to identify the biotypes. Results. Streptococci colonies in CL/P children with caries (64.30 ± 24.52) was signi�cantly higher than in children with no CL/P or caries (45.57 ± 16.73). No signi�cant differences in the Lactobacilli count were observed. dm/DMFT status and Streptococci counts showed a strong positive correlation whereas Lactobacilli counts showed a moderate correlation. S. mutans was the predominant biotype. Conclusions. Higher total salivary Streptococci and Lactobacilli counts exist in cle subjects with caries than in the non-cle subjects. Positive correlation between dm/DMFT scores and salivary Streptococci reinforces its role in DC. S. mutans and S. sobrinus are the biotypes more frequently associated with dental caries in children.
