The prevalence of dental caries, the levels of oral hygiene and the periodontal treatment requirements were assessed in 3562 handicapped children and 1344 randomly selected normal children attending schools in Birmingham, UK. The effect of different types of handicapping condition on these parameters was also evaluated. This investigation showed that there were few differences in caries prevalence when comparing handicapped children with children attending normal schools. However, the provision of dental care showed significant differences, with the handicapped children receiving less restorative treatment. There were also significantly poorer levels of oral hygiene and a greater prevalence of periodontal disease in the handicapped children attending special schools. The type of handicapping condition had a significant effect on the periodontal problems observed; those children with mental retardation having the poorest levels of oral hygiene and the greatest periodontal treatment requirements.
在英国伯明翰上学的3562名残疾儿童和1344名随机挑选的正常儿童中，对龋齿患病率、口腔卫生水平和牙周治疗需求进行了评估。还评估了不同类型残疾状况对这些参数的影响。这项调查表明，将残疾儿童与普通学校儿童相比，龋齿患病率几乎没有差异。然而，在牙科护理方面存在显著差异，残疾儿童接受的修复治疗较少。在特殊学校就读的残疾儿童口腔卫生水平也明显较差，牙周疾病患病率更高。残疾状况类型对观察到的牙周问题有显著影响；智力迟钝的儿童口腔卫生水平最差，牙周治疗需求最大。
