Objective To identify the prevalence of the main oral problems present in special needs children and to relate the underlying conditions with the clinical and demographic variables.Methods The study was based on the physical examination of 47 students from the Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais diagnosed as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and intellectual deficit. For data collection, we used a self-administered questionnaire that included indices of dental caries and oral hygiene, Angle classification, malposition of dental groups and oral hygiene habits.Results The predominant age group was 12-25 years (46.8%) and most patients were male (55.3%). Regarding daily brushing, 63.8% reported brushing their teeth three times a day, and 85.1% did it by themselves. A total of 48.9% were rated as Angle class I, and 25.5% had no type of malocclusion. A high dental carries index (decayed, missing, filled >10) was observed in 44.7%, and 53.2% had inadequate oral hygiene (zero to 1.16). There was a statistically significant difference between cerebral palsy and the act of the participants brushing their teeth by themselves.Conclusion There was a high decayed-missing-filled teeth index and malocclusion class I, as well as inadequate oral hygiene. The type of underlying condition of the participants influenced the act of brushing teeth by themselves.

ResumoObjetivo: Caracterizar os pacientes atendidos e os procedimentos realizados no Serviço de Atendimento a Pacientes com Necessidades Especiais da Faculdade de Odontologia de Araraquara (FOAr) -UNESP. Metodologia: A partir dos prontuários odontológicos dos pacientes atendidos em nível ambulatorial entre 2007 e 2013, foram obtidas informações em relação a idade no início do tratamento, tipo de deficiência, medicamentos usados, número de sessões de atendimento e número e tipo de procedimentos odontológicos realizados. Resultado: Dos 232 prontuários analisados, observou-se que mais da metade dos pacientes (56,0%) apresentava deficiência mental, paralisia cerebral ou anomalias congênitas determinadas por agentes infecciosos, com deficiência mental associada. Entre as anomalias congênitas, a mais prevalente foi a Síndrome de Down (9,9%). Apenas 20% dos pacientes iniciaram o tratamento antes dos dez anos de idade e 62,0% faziam uso de anticonvulsivantes, antipsicóticos, ansiolíticos, antiepilépticos e antidepressivos. Foram realizados 4.506 procedimentos odontológicos, sendo 37,6% preventivos e 62,4% curativos (Restauradores, 28,0%; Periodontais, 13,9%; Endodônticos, 9,7%; Cirúrgicos, 9,1%; Protéticos, 1,7%). Observou-se também que, para a maior parte dos pacientes (63%), foram necessárias até dez sessões para a realização do tratamento. Conclusão: Os pacientes que procuraram tratamento odontológico no Serviço de Atendimento a Pacientes com Necessidades Especiais da FOAr apresentavam, na sua maioria, deficiências com envolvimento neurológico. Apesar de esse serviço priorizar os procedimentos preventivos, a maior parte dos procedimentos executados foi curativa, o que está diretamente relacionado com a procura tardia pelo tratamento odontológico.Descritores: Pessoas com deficiência; assistência odontológica para pessoas com deficiências; uso de medicamentos. AbstractObjective: To characterize the patients and dental procedures performed in Service to Patients with Special Needs of Araraquara School of Dentistry (FOAr) -UNESP. Methodology: From the dental records of patients treated at outpatient basis between 2007 and 2013, information regarding age at the beginning of treatment, type of disability, controlled medications used, number of dental sessions, and number and type of dental procedures performed was obtained. Result: Of the 232 records analyzed, more than half of the patients (56.0%) had mental retardation, cerebral palsy or congenital abnormalities caused by infectious agents associated with mental retardation. Among the congenital abnormalities, the most prevalent was the Down syndrome (9.9%). Only 20% of patients started treatment before the age of ten and 62.0% used anticonvulsants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, antidepressants and antiepileptics. A total of 4,506 dental procedures were performed, 37.6% were preventive procedures and 62.4% curative procedures (restorative, 28.0%; periodontal, 13.9%; endodontic, 9.7%; surgical, 9.1%, and prosthetic 1.7%). Also was observed that for most patients (63%) up t...
