Introduction: Dental and oral hygiene is important in supporting oral health in particular and general body health. Dental and oral hygiene can be maintained by controlling plaque. The aim of the study was to obtain data on the level of dental and oral hygiene in cerebral palsy children in the Sekolah Luar Biasa Bagian D Yayasan Pembinaan Anak Cacat, Sukajadi, Bandung. Methods: The research method is descriptive. Samples were obtained by total sampling technique which has criteria for children under 18 years old. A total of 43 children were obtained from all cerebral palsy children. Data were obtained by clinical examination, to calculate the level of dental and oral hygiene, OHI-S from Green and Vermillion was used by applying disclosing solution on the tooth surface, with criteria: good if the OHI value = 0.1-1.2; mean if the value of OHI = 1.3-3.0; bad if the value of OHI = 3.1-6.0 . Result: The results showed that the average dental and oral hygiene of cerebral palsy children in the Sekolah Luar Biasa Bagian D Yayasan Pembinaan Anak Cacat, Sukajadi, Bandung was 3.27. Conclusion: Dental and oral hygiene in cerebral palsy children in Sekolah Luar Biasa Bagian D Yayasan Pembinaan Anak Cacat, Sukajadi, Bandung is included in the bad criteria.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of drooling in individuals with cerebral palsy and assess the effect these factors have on these individuals oral health. Materials: A total of 113 individuals with cerebral palsy between the age of 5 and 18 years were examined. The incidence and severity of drooling were determined using the index given by Blasco et al and the oral heath was recorded using a modified WHO performa. The data was then subjected to statistical analysis. Results: While drooling may not predispose the individual to dental caries individuals with drooling have a poorer oral hygiene score than those without. Conclusions: There is no significant difference in the Dental caries status, Orthodontic findings or the debris component of the Oral Hygiene Index of individuals who drool saliva and those who do not.

ABSTRACT Objectives Evaluating oral and dental health status in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy (CP) in relation to gross motor skills and types of CP. Materials and methods Cross-sectional study was conducted at el-Shatby Hospital for Children, Alexandria, Egypt. Oral examination for 62 children with CP between the age range 3 and 12 years was performed, and decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT)/decayed and filled primary teeth (dft), simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), and modified gingival index (MGI) were charted. Maxillofacial defects, dental problems, and drooling of saliva were assessed. Children's CP type, motor milestone, and gross motor skills were determined. All statistical analyses were carried out at p<0.05 and 0.01. Results About 84.0% of children had spastic quadriplegia, 41.9% were sit-supported, 32.3% had level IV Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), 29.0% had level V no maxillofacial defects, 14.5% had dentin exposure greater than one-third of the surface, and 22.6% had frequent/severe drooling saliva. Caries prevalence comprised 54.8%, 53.2% had poor oral hygiene (OHI-S), and 43.6% had severe gingival inflammation (MGI). The first best predictor variable for dft was “motor milestone” The GMFCS (levels IV and V) was the first best predictor variable for DMFT, OHI-S, and MGI. Conclusion The majority of children had dental caries, poor oral hygiene, and severe gingival inflammation. Children who were sit-supported, had no neck support, and stand-supported were suffering from dental caries (dft) more than children who were sitting and walking alone. Children with levels IV/V GMFCS were prone to have dental caries (DMFT), susceptible to suffer from bad oral hygiene, and older children experiencing severe gingivitis more than younger ones.

Dental Neglect

Introduction: Oral health status is linked to oral health behaviour and dental neglect can be an important parameter for assessment of oral health status. Such evaluation will help in providing and planning appropriate health promotion activities to target population. Objective: To assess socio-demographic variations in Dental Neglect (DN) and to determine the association between DN and oral health. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study done at dental hospital in Dhulikhel from September-November 2020. A sample of 327 aged 16-30 years were selected by convenience sampling technique. Demographic details along with DN were collected through the DN questionnaire. Both self-reported oral health and oral health status were assessed. Oral health status was determined by using the Oral Hygiene Index-simplified (OHI-S) and the Decayed Missing Filled index (DMFT). Results: Majority 170 (52%) of the sample were from high DN group. A total of 187 (57.2%) of the participants rated their oral health status as all right. Higher number of participants were seen in the fair group of oral hygiene status. Significant correlations were found between education and OHI-S scores. Mean DMFT score was 3.6±1.6 which had higher mean Decayed (D) component as compared to the Missing (M) and Filled (F) components in the index. Conclusion: Dental neglect is present among the study population and is associated with self-reported oral health status. Disparities were observed between the socio-demographic variables and DN. The DN Scale can be used in dental health promotion and also in evaluation of health promotion interventions.

Purposive Sampling

Fixed orthodontic treatment is attached to the tooth surface. If this orthodontic treatment is attached to teeth that are difficult to clean, dental caries will occur due to a lack of dental and oral hygiene. For this reason, it is necessary to have someone's knowledge about maintaining oral and dental health, especially fixed orthodontic users. This study aims to determine the relationship between dental and oral health knowledge and caries rates in students using fixed orthodontics at Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta. This type of research is analytic observational and the research design is cross-sectional, with a population of 71 students using fixed orthodontics. This sampling technique is purposive sampling with the number of respondents using fixed orthodontics as many as 60 people. The results of the research on the analysis with the Kendall's-Tau test obtained a significant value = 0.000 <0.05. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between knowledge of oral health and dental hygiene with caries rates in Orthodontic Wearing students at Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta. Perawatan orthodontik cekat dipasang pada permukaan gigi. Perawatan orthodontik ini apabila dicekatkan pada gigi-gigi yang sulit dibersihkan akan terjadi  karies gigi diakibatkan oleh kurangnya kebersihan gigi dan mulut. Untuk itu diperlukan pengetahuan seseorang mengenai pelihara diri kesehatan gigi dan mulut terutama pengguna orthodontik cekat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui adanya hubungan pengetahuan pelihara diri kesehatan gigi dan mulut dengan angka karies pada mahasiswa pemakai orthodontik cekat di Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta. Jenis penelitian bersifat observasional analitik dan desain penelitian Cross-sectional, dengan populasi pada mahasiswa yang memakai orthodontik cekat berjumlah 71 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel ini adalah purposive sampling dengan jumlah yang menjadi responden pemakai orthodontik cekat sebanyak 60 orang. Hasil penelitian pada analisis dengan uji Kendall’s-Tau di peroleh nilai signifikan = 0,000<0,05. Kesimpulan ada hubungan pengetahuan pelihara diri kesehatan gigi dan mulut dengan angka karies pada mahasiswa Pemakai Orthodontik di Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta.
