The purpose of this study was to determine the caries experience and oral hygiene (OH) status of cerebral palsy (CP) children in Riyadh area. One hundred and forty CP children [82 (58.6%) males & 58 (41.4%) females] were examined for dental caries and OH status in dental clinic of the Disabled Children's Association Center, Riyadh. The children were divided into three age groups; first group 3-6 years old (41 children), second group 7-9 years old (52 children) and third group 10-12 years old (47 children). The mean DMFS (decayed, missing and filled surfaces) score for the first group was 18.8 (+/- 16.3), with the DS component of 10.9 (+/- 7.5), MS component of 3.7 (+/- 10.4) and FS component of 4.1 (+/- 8.9). For the second group the mean DMFS was 23.4 (+/- 17.7) with DS component of 15.4 (+/-12.1), MS component of 4.1 (+/-9.0) and FS component of 3.8 (+/- 8.5). The corresponding values for the third group were 20.5 (+/- 14.0), 12.4 (+/- 9.7), 5.1 (+/- 12.4) and 2.9 (+/- 5.5) respectively. There was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) in caries experience between the three age groups. Very few (5.7%) CP children were rated as having good OH. There was a strong association between poor oral hygiene status and high DMFS score. It can be concluded that the caries experience of CP children in Riyadh is very high, and that very few of these children have good oral hygiene.
本研究的目的是确定利雅得地区脑瘫（CP）儿童的龋齿患病情况和口腔卫生（OH）状况。在利雅得残疾儿童协会中心的牙科诊所，对140名CP儿童[82名（58.6%）男性和58名（41.4%）女性]进行了龋齿和OH状况检查。这些儿童被分为三个年龄组：第一组3至6岁（41名儿童），第二组7至9岁（52名儿童），第三组10至12岁（47名儿童）。第一组的平均DMFS（龋、失、补牙面）评分为18.8（±16.3），其中龋损（DS）部分为10.9（±7.5），失牙（MS）部分为3.7（±10.4），补牙（FS）部分为4.1（±8.9）。第二组的平均DMFS为23.4（±17.7），DS部分为15.4（±12.1），MS部分为4.1（±9.0），FS部分为3.8（±8.5）。第三组的相应值分别为20.5（±14.0）、12.4（±9.7）、5.1（±12.4）和2.9（±5.5）。三个年龄组之间的龋齿患病情况无统计学显著差异（p>0.05）。极少（5.7%）的CP儿童口腔卫生状况被评为良好。口腔卫生状况差与高DMFS评分之间存在密切关联。可以得出结论，利雅得CP儿童的龋齿患病情况非常严重，而且这些儿童中很少有人口腔卫生良好。
