Epidemiological studies in a group of handicapped subjects from the area of Lower Frankonia revealed a surprisingly good oral health. The WHO objective for caries control (DMF-T in 3 to 12 years olds) for the year 2000 has already been reached. In spite of low average values the individual values demonstrated a marked polarisation (30% of subjects of one birth year had approx. 70% of caries, missing, or filled tooth surfaces). The degree of treatment is clearly above that of the normal population. By comparison data are also favorable for the prevalence of gingivitis and periodontitis. Nevertheless one forth of the 10 to 13 year olds and half of those older than 14 will not only need an improvement of their oral hygiene but also scaling to treat their periodontal disease. Subjects with multiple handicaps are affected more strongly and need additional intensive preventive care.
对来自下弗兰肯地区的一组残障人士进行的流行病学研究显示，他们的口腔健康状况出奇地良好。2000年世界卫生组织关于龋齿控制的目标（3至12岁儿童的DMF-T）已经实现。尽管平均值较低，但个体数值显示出明显的两极分化（同一年出生的受试者中，30%的人大约有70%的龋齿、缺失或补牙面）。治疗程度明显高于正常人群。相比之下，牙龈炎和牙周炎的患病率数据也较好。然而，10至13岁的儿童中有四分之一以及14岁以上的儿童中有一半不仅需要改善口腔卫生，还需要进行洗牙以治疗牙周疾病。多重残障的受试者受影响更严重，需要额外的强化预防护理。
