“…From the ethical perspective, dentists must accept the responsibility and commitment to contribute with their knowledge to improve the quality of life of these people [9]. Though children with DS can be excellent orthodontic patients, orthodontic prognosis may be poor because of their learning disability, parafunctional habits and severe periodontal disease [17]. This investigation reinforces the need for further studies on this issue, including studies of the functional and psychosocial impacts of malocclusions in DS patients.…”

“…Oredugba [17] found 51% of class I and 47% of class III among 43 individuals with DS and only 5% of class III in the control group (P<.05). In this study most of the cases were class I in both groups.…”

“…These results are similar to Soares et al [18], who have concluded that class III is more frequent in DS individuals. This is a consequence of the midface hypoplasia [17]. Anatomically, the facial mid-third is underdeveloped but the mandible follows normal development (pseudo-progeny).…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to characterize occlusal anomalies in a Portuguese population with Down Syndrome (DS) and to compare its distribution with that of their siblings. Study Design: A sibling-matched, population-based and cross-sectional survey was performed. Methodology: This study involved 132 children with DS and 84 of their siblings, aged 2 to 26 years. Data were gathered through the use of a complete questionnaire and clinical observation. Data analysis was performed by using SPSS® v.20.0 and any p-value <.05 was considered significant. Results: Seventy six percent of the DS children and 72% of their siblings showed class I of Angle. There were no statistically significant differences between both groups regarding class I (P=.60). Only 4% of the DS children presented class II versus 22% of the siblings (P=.001). Twenty percent of the DS children and 6% of the siblings presented class III (P=.008). The DS group presented occlusal anomalies more frequently, especially posterior crossbite (P<.001), anterior open bite (P=.005) and Original Research ArticleBritish Journal of Medicine & Medical Research, 4(35): 5604-5611, 2014 5605 anterior crossbite (P=.001). Deep overbite was only found in the siblings group (P=.001). Conclusions:The results of this study suggest that children with Down syndrome have more occlusal anomalies than general population.

“…[ there is no difference in risk compared with the general population. Some reports concluded that DS population are with higher caries prevalence, [27,28] while others concluded that there is no difference in caries prevalence compared to healthy groups. [29][30][31][32][33] However, most investigators have found a lower prevalence of caries in DS patients in both dentitions.…”

Different conditions of the oral cavity in children with Down syndrome which are compared to children without Down syndrome increase higher parents knowledge and the risk factors in maintaining oral health of children with Down syndrome. Correlation test with descriptive analytic by survey techniques was aimed to know the relationship of parents knowledge level and socioeconomic factor to oral health of Down syndrome children 6-12 years old in Bandung. Thirty three Down syndrome children in 6-12 years old and their parents from six special needs schools-C were recruited to this study. The data of parents knowledge and socio-economic factor were gathered from questionnaire that had been validated. The oral health of Down syndrome children was recorded using def-t and DMF-T index examination. Analysis had been made between variables using Pearson and Chi-square test (p value <0.05). There was no significant relationship between socioeconomic factors and parents knowledge to oral health of Down syndrome children (p>0.05). Caries is a disease with complex causal factors. Socio-economic factors are not the only determinants of oral health status of children with mental retardation, such as a child with Down syndrome.
