“…[15] It is also similar to that reported in some lower-middleincome economies in children with ID, with the exception of Nigeria, where caries was uncommon. [14,16] Children with ID are at a higher risk of developing dental caries than the general population. [17] The type of school they attend, the diet they follow and the severity of their ID are factors that may contribute to the burden of poor oral health.…”

Objective. To assess the dental needs of a group of children with intellectual disability (ID) attending six special educational facilities in Cape Town, South Africa. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study based on a convenience sampling method. One hundred and fifty-seven children with ID attending six special educational facilities in Cape Town were included in the survey. Five schools were exclusively funded by the State and one school received additional private financial support. The oral examinations complied with guidelines drafted by Special Olympics Special Smiles programme and the Centers for Disease Control, USA. Results. The most common dental disorders requiring management were gingival disease (69%) and untreated dental caries (68%). Almost 50% of the children had missing teeth. Twenty-nine percent needed orthodontic correction of malocclusion and 7% had structural abnormalities of their teeth that required either aesthetic or functional intervention. Fillings were evident in only 8% of the children. Females required more dental treatment than males. The dental needs of children with ID increased with age. There were no significant differences in the dental needs of children attending State-funded schools and those attending the single school that received additional financial assistance. Conclusion. The frequency of unmet dental needs of children with ID attending special educational facilities in Cape Town was high and the dental care available to them was minimal. The study highlights the need for improved dental services to ensure that optimal oral health is accessible to children with ID attending special educational facilities in Cape Town.

“…Poor oral hygiene and gingivitis have been reported to be more prevalent in children with cognitive and developmental disabilities. The Oral Hygiene Index (OHI) scores have been found to be higher in children and adolescents with disabilities than in control groups in studies carried out in some developing countries (Oredugba, 2006;Oredugba & Akindayomi, 2008;Nahar et al, 2010). In the study carried out in Bangladesh, as many as 64% of those with disabilities had gingivitis compared with 27.5% of controls.…”

“…Subjects with developmental disabilities, mental retardation, cerebral palsy and autism have been shown to require special care for maintaining oral hygiene and receiving dental treatment (Surabian, 2001 A & B;Oredugba & Akindayomi, 2008). A considerably higher frequency of inflamed gingival surfaces and pathological gingival pockets are present in www.intechopen.com children with severe mental retardation as compared with healthy children, in spite of similar frequencies of dental care (Forsberg, 1985).…”

Foram convidados a participar todos os cuidadores de indivíduos normoreativos e com deficiência que frequentavam a clinica escola de duas universidades e de um centro de reabilitação no período de setembro de 2008 a junho de 2009, em São Paulo. O Grupo Estudo (GE) era composto por 27 pacientes com necessidades especiais e o Grupo Controle (GC) por 23 pacientes normoreativos voluntários, ambos com idades entre três e 18 anos, e que foram avaliados quanto à experiência de cárie utilizando-se o índice de dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados (CPO-D). Os cuidadores primários do grupo controle (CGC) e do grupo estudo (GCE) responderam o questionário na versão abreviada sobre Qualidade de Vida (WHOQOL-bref), o qual é composto por 26 questões de múltipla escolha englobando os domínios: Físico, Psicológico, Relações Sociais e Meio-ambiente. Para a análise estatística foi utilizado o programa SPSS com a sintaxe própria do WHOQOL-bref. Os testes Teste t de Student, qui-quadrado e de Fisher foram utilizados, com nível de significância fixado em 5%. Resultados: Não houve diferença estatística na qualidade de vida entre os grupos de cuidadores estudados, bem como para a experiência de cárie entre os GC e GE (p>0,05). Conclusão: A qualidade de vida dos cuidadores primários dos pacientes com necessidades especiais não é afetada pelo ato de cuidar, e esta se reflete favoravelmente na saúde bucal destes indivíduos.Qualidade de Vida; Cuidados Primários de Saúde; Índice CPOD.
