“…The present study found that more than half of our study participants had bleeding on probing which is consistent with studies done in Nigeria [18] and India [28]. The high prevalence of periodontal disease in disabled schoolchildren might be due to the challenges in oral hygiene practice or lack of proper family support during tooth brushing.…”

“…Moreover, 50% of intellectually disabled individuals in Hyderabad, India had gingivitis [26]. However, our finding is high compared with studies done in Nigeria (7.3%) [18], Taiwan (5.4%) [27], and India (2.72%) [28]. The difference might be due to the socioeconomic difference and because of the use of different methods for diagnosing periodontal disease.…”

Background Periodontal disease is the most common oral health problem among individuals living with disabilities. Any physical impairment and/or mental handicap can compromise the capability to perform oral health care. Individuals with poor oral hygiene practice were prone to dental caries, periodontal disease, and upper respiratory tract infections. Despite the high prevalence of disabled people in Ethiopia, data are scarce about their periodontal status. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and determinant factors of periodontal disease among students living with disability in the Amhara region. Methods A school-based cross-sectional study was done on eight special needs schools in Amhara regional state from November 30, 2020, to April 10, 2021. A simple random sampling technique using a computer random generator was employed to recruit the study participants. The participants were interviewed for sociodemographic characteristics, oral hygiene practice, type of disability, and medical condition through a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. The periodontal status of the participants was evaluated using the community periodontal index (CPI). Data entry was done using the Epi-data and analyzed using SPSS 26. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of periodontal disease at a 5% level of significance. Results A total of 443 study participants were involved with a mean age of 15.84 ± 3.882. Among these, 27.5% (95%CI 23.4–32.0) had a periodontal pocket depth of ≥ 4 mm, and 56.7% had bleeding on probing. The prevalence of periodontal disease was higher in participants with poor oral health status (52.2%), dental caries (34.8%), class-2 malocclusion (46.1%), and low monthly income (30.4%), visually impaired (30%), and mentally disorder (29.9%). Age of above 18 years (AOR = 3.41, 95%CI 1.40, 8.28), low family monthly income (AOR = 2.21; 95%CI 1.22, 4.03), malocclusion (AOR = 1.59, 95%CI 1.01, 2.54), poor oral health status (AOR = 9.41; 95%CI 4.92, 17.98), and dental caries (AOR = 1.85, 95%CI 1.21, 2.82) were independent predictors of periodontal disease. Conclusions A substantial amount of disabled school students in the study area had periodontal disease. The study found that there was a statistically significant association between age, family monthly income, malocclusion, oral health status, and dental caries with periodontal disease. The implementation of school oral health programs has a great benefit for the oral health status of disabled school students.

To evaluate dental status of children with hearing and speech impairment of Karachi Pakistan. METHODOLOGY: This cross sectional study was conducted in Karachi, Pakistan for a period of 6 month among 106 children with hearing and speech impairment aged 5-15 years of either gender attending Deaf Reach School. After taking informed consent the subjects were examined for oral health status. Dental caries was assessed by using DMFT index and Oral hygiene status was assessed by using oral hygiene index simplified (OHIS). The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. RESULTS: The overall caries prevalence in the study population was 51% with an overall mean DMFT score of 2.08 (±2.97). Out of 106 hearing and speech impaired children, majority had good hygiene status (48.1%), 46.2% had fair hygiene status and only 5.7% had poor hygiene status with overall mean OHI-S score of 1.45±1.01. CONCLUSION: A high prevalence of dental caries was observed among hearing and speech impaired children.

“…Possible reasons for findings in the study might be because children with physical disabilities know little about their oral health; also experience considerably higher levels of oral health diseases and greater food debris and also more difficulty for accessing oral health care. 50 According to a study done in 2015 by Pradhan M, et al among hearing impaired adults reported that periodontal index was 0.38±0.74 20 and another study done in 2010 by Rawlani S, et al among deaf and mute children reported periodontal index to be 0.42±0.32. The probable reason stated was lack of oral hygiene education among disabled groups.…”

“…25 A study conducted in 2010 by Jain M, et al among deaf and blind children and adults reported that 32% participants were periodontally healthy while the remaining participants had shallow and deep pockets and higher percentage of blind participants that is 43% were periodontally healthy than 24% of hearingimpaired participants. 50 The reason for the poor periodontal health of hearing-impaired participants as compared to blind participants was due to lack of treatment among the former group. A study done in 2012 by Ameer N, et al among special needs teenagers reported that 32% physically handicapped participants had loss of attachment with 4-5mm pockets and 7% in intellectually disabled population.…”

To review and study the oral health status among visually and hearing-impaired individuals. A literature was performed in main databases like- Pub Med Central, Cochrane Library, Embase and Google Scholar from year 2001 to 2020. This systematic review study was done according to PRISMA guideline. It was found that disabled individuals had poor oral health status as compared to the non-disabled individuals. Blind children experienced more caries than hearing-impaired children in permanent, whereas it was opposite in primary dentition. Braille language and text instructions can be very useful for visually impaired individuals irrespective of the degree of blindness and can help them to maintain oral hygiene. Hearing impaired individuals are taught with actions and visualisations. As a public health personnel, the fact, it is extremely difficult to change people's attitudes rapidly. The sighted must know how to deal with the blind individuals and learn to overcome their own ambiguity, or their undesirable attitudes may be implemented and talk of social acceptance should not be felt in mind.
