“…Studies have shown that people with disability, regardless of the type of disability, presented with a consistently poorer state of oral hygiene, with various levels of periodontal diseases, higher level of untreated dental caries and greater need for extractions than their normal peers (4,5,6).…”

The purpose of this study was to gather information on the oral hygiene behaviour among the visually impaired adolescents. Interview and observation methods were used to collect data. A total of 114 visually impaired adolescents were interviewed and 10 of the interviewees were selected for observation on the actual oral hygiene practices. The mean age of the sample was 16 years old. The sample comprised of 53.5% female, majority were Malays (86.8%) and most of them were from the lower income group. Fifty four percent of the sample had low vision and 45.6% were blind. All of the participants reported that they brushed their teeth daily and most of them brushed twice a day or more. Flossing (6.1%) was not common practice among this group. It was observed that they encountered some difficulties, especially when putting the toothpaste on the toothbrush and also the way that they brushed their teeth could cause detrimental effect to the oral cavity. Thus, they need to be taught on proper oral hygiene care so that they can practice safe oral hygiene care and maintain their own oral health.

“…Engelli çocukların ağız ve diş sağlığı üzerine yapılan araştırmalar incelendiğinde, araştırmaların çoğunda çocukların ağız hijyeninin bozuk olduğu ve sağlıklı çocuklarla karşılaştırıldığında gingivitis ve periodontitis gibi ağız hijyeni ile yakından bağlantılı diş eti problemlerinin sıklıkla görüldüğü bildirilmiştir 5,7,8,9 . Engelli çocukların mikrobiyal dental plak değerleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde ise, pek çok çalışma engelli çocukların sağlıklı çocuklara göre daha yüksek A Hemolitik Streptokok gösterdiğini bildirirken bazıları, engelli ve sağlıklı çocuklarda çürük görülme sıklığı bakımından farklılık bulunduğunu bildirmektedir 10,11,12,13. Engelli çocukların gerek motor fonksiyonlarındaki yetersizlik, gerekse mental yetersizlikleri sebebiyle iyi bir ağız temizliği sağlayamadıkları bilinmektedir.…”

“…Therefore, dental practitioners must be aware of how to proceed when faced with a patient with special needs. It should be noted that patients with special needs exhibit severe oral compromise, which often leads to tooth loss and infections, as stated by Nunn & Murray 21 and Grunsven & Cardoso 22 . Socioeconomic and cultural factors, as well as a lack of caregiver awareness about the oral hygiene of these patients, act as aggravating factors for the development of caries, periodontal disease, and, consequently, tooth loss.…”

Cerebral palsy is a disorder caused by central nervous system injuries that RESUMOA paralisia cerebral é uma anormalidade causada por lesões no sistema nervoso central que podem ocorrer durante o período pré, peri ou pós-natal. É caracterizada por alterações múltiplas como o comprometimento da fala, da coordenação motora e corporal, do equilíbrio, do intelecto e da mastigação e deglutição. Devido aos movimentos anormais da musculatura facial, juntamente com o comprometimento da função de autolimpeza, o paciente pode apresentar quadros de patologia bucal como a cárie, a doença periodontal e a perda dental. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar o caso clínico de um paciente portador de paralisia cerebral com ausência dos incisivos centrais superiores, portador de prótese removível e com um quadro de candidose bucal. Foi realizada a moldagem dos arcos superior e inferior e as radiografias periapicais. Pôde-se observar que os incisivos laterais apresentavam reabsorção radicular, o que contra indicava a sua utilização como pilares para prótese fixa. Devido às condições sócio-econômicas e limitações relacionadas a paralisia cerebral, foi confeccionada uma prótese adesiva e, para a candidose bucal foi instituído o tratamento com solução de Nistatina. O resultado do tratamento foi estética e funcionalmente adequado para o paciente.Termos de indexação: Paralisia cerebral. Candidíase bucal. Reabilitação bucal.
