Abstract
Aim: To study the oral health and the associated oral diseases of children with three disabilities, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, and Epilepsy, and their convenient prevention methods.
Tasks: To determine the prevalent oral diseases in autistic, epileptic, and cerebral palsy children and determine the type of listed disabilities susceptible to chosen oral diseases.
To ascertain the efficiency of oral health prevention methods of disabled children.
Materials and methods: PubMed/Medline and ScienceDirect databases were searched electronically to retrieve results. The applied articles included studies in the English language and children aged 1 – 18. Distinct evaluation methods were used to identify the oral disease's occurrence, and particular prevention methods were used to assess their efficiency.
Results: The primary search resulted in 1,529 articles; after the duplication, and the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 7 articles were eligible for our study.
All included children with Cerebral Palsy, Autism, or Epilepsy resulted in a high occurrence of caries or a low oral hygiene state. Epileptic children were most susceptible to caries and malocclusion occurrence, autistic children were more vulnerable to tooth-wear, and cerebral palsy children were more susceptible to dental trauma.
Preventive methods applied to disabled people are effective and lead to better oral health status.
Conclusion: All children diagnosed with a disability are prone to experience oral diseases, and it is dependent on the characteristics of the disorders. Children with any type of disability must possess further oral hygiene instructions, care, and treatment needs assessment.
