“…1 Dental caries constitute a multifactor disease in which different biological, economic, cultural, environmental and social factors interact. 2 The literature presents conflicting data on the prevalence of dental caries among individuals with disabilities, as these results cannot be generalized and tend to differ between countries.…”

“…In addition, as in previous studies, the study participants were from a rehabilitation institution, and the results are therefore not necessarily representative of the general population. 1 The Brazilian and international literature does not thoroughly address factors associated with dental caries in children with CP. The results of the present study may guide the conduct of dentists who work with this population group and may help establish a differentiated oral healthcare protocol for patients who exhibit inadequate oral hygiene at the first dental appointment.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with caries experience in the primary dentition of one-to five-year-old children with cerebral palsy. A total of 266 dental records were examined, and caries experience was measured by dmft. The following variables were also analyzed: gender, oral hygiene, history of gastroesophageal reflux, use of medications for gastroesophageal reflux, gingival status, sugar intake and reports of polyuria, excessive thirst and xerostomia. For analysis purposes, the individuals were categorized as those with and without caries experience and subcategorized into the following age groups: one year; two to three years; and four to five years. After bivariate analysis, variables with a p-value < 0.25 were selected for incorporation into the Poisson regression models. Considering the limitations of the protocol, the level of oral hygiene perceived on the first appointment was the only factor associated with caries experience among two-to-fiveyear-old children with cerebral palsy.

“…Several studies have reported the prevalence of oral health screenings at Special Olympics events [Feldman et al, 1997;White et al, 1998;Reid et al, 2003;Corbin et al, 2005;Pezzementi and Fisher, 2005]. Feldman et al [1997], for example, documented the results of a screening program of Special Olympic athletes who participated in the New Jersey Special Olympic Games in 1996.…”

“…In contrast, athletes aged 65 years and older were more likely to have lost all of their natural teeth compared with their peers without ID (50 versus 36%, respectively). Additional data from athletes who participated in Special Olympic Games in the United States from 2001 to 2002 suggest that the overall prevalence of untreated dental decay among Special Olympic athletes ranges from 28 to 31%, which is higher than the prevalence estimates in the U.S. general population (20 to 30%) [US DHHS, 2000c;Reid et al, 2003;NCHS, 2004;Pezzementi and Fisher, 2005].…”

Over the past 20 years, there has been an increased emphasis on health promotion, including prevention activities related to vision and oral health, for the general population, but not for individuals with intellectual disability (ID). This review explores what is known about the prevalence of vision problems and oral health conditions among individuals with ID, presents a rationale for the increased prevalence of these conditions in the context of service utilization, and examines the limitations of the available research. Available data reveal a wide range of prevalence estimates for vision problems and oral health conditions, but all suggest that these conditions are more prevalent among individuals with ID compared with the general population, and disparities exist in the receipt of preventive and early treatment for these conditions for individuals with ID. Recommendations for health improvement in these areas include better health planning and monitoring through standardized population-based data collection and reporting and increased emphasis on health promotion activities and early treatment in the healthcare system.

“…It is widely reported that individuals with disabilities have poorer oral health status compared to those in the general population [2][3][4][5][6]. Some previous studies have reported up to 95% or higher prevalence of malocclusion among children with disabilities [7,8].…”
