OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence and severity of drooling in infant cerebral palsy (ICP) and analyze the possible surgical, pharmacological, myofunctional and novel alternative approaches to treatment of this disorder.
METHODS
A clinical study is made of a group of patients with ICP (cohort) and aged between 4 and 34 years, visiting a dental clinic for disabled patients. The classification of Thomas-Stonell and Greenberg was used to assess the presence and severity of drooling.
RESULTS
Of the total of 50 patients evaluated (52% males and 48% females), 58% presented drooling (mild in 44.4% and moderate to severe in 27.7%).
CONCLUSION
Over half of the patients with ICP presented drooling. Effective options are therefore needed for the treatment of this problem, which poses a series of negative effects for both patients and their care givers.
目的
确定婴儿脑瘫（ICP）流口水的患病率和严重程度，并分析治疗该病症可能的手术、药物、肌功能和新型替代方法。
方法
对一组年龄在4至34岁之间、前往残疾患者牙科诊所就诊的ICP患者（队列）进行临床研究。采用托马斯 - 斯托内尔和格林伯格分类法评估流口水的存在情况和严重程度。
结果
在总共评估的50名患者中（男性占52%，女性占48%），58%的患者存在流口水现象（轻度占44.4%，中度至重度占27.7%）。
结论
超过半数的ICP患者存在流口水现象。因此，需要有效的治疗方法来解决这个问题，因为它给患者及其护理人员都带来了一系列负面影响。
