Objective: to assess the dental health and oral hygiene status of subjects with cleft lip and/or palate. Methods: dental and gingival examinations were carried out in 105 children with cleft, using standard dental indices dmft and DMFT. Plaque and gingival indices were scored using the indices of Loe and Silness. Results: the prevalence of dental caries was significantly higher in children with cleft (71.34%) than children without cleft in both deciduous and permanent teeth. The dmft and DMFT indices ware highest in children with CLP (4.21±3.68; 3.55±3.24). Similary, plaque accumulation and gingivitis were significant higher in CL, CLP patients (3.29±1.28; 3.23±1.54) compared with CP patients (2.38±1.74). Conclusion: Cleft patients had higher prevalence of caries and poorer oral hygiene than patients without cleft. The severity of cleft affected on the oral health status. These findings not only provide a baseline for oral health status but also emphasize the need for preventive measures. Key words: cleft lip, cleft palate, cleft lip and palate, dmft, DMFT, plaque and gingival index

Objective: To assess the oral health knowledge of mothers of children with cleft lip and/or palate, analyzing the practical application of this information on the basis of the oral hygiene of the children and caries prevalence of mothers and children. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Pediatric Dentistry sector of the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies. Patients: Mothers (n = 300) and their children with cleft lip and/or palate, ages 3 years to 5 years 6 months. Materials and Methods: An interview with questions related to dietary habits and oral health knowledge and habits was conducted. Children and their mothers also were evaluated by intraoral clinical examination. Results: Of the mothers, 47.3% displayed poor oral health status (Group A) and 52.7% had a satisfactory oral health status (Group B). Children in Group A presented a mean dmft of 6.0, whereas children in Group B had a mean dmft of 5.6. No significant differences were observed between groups. Mothers demonstrated a reasonable knowledge on prevention of dental caries and oral hygiene. Conclusion: Even though the mothers interviewed had some knowledge on the causes and prevention of dental caries, other factors should be regarded as relevant in the caries process.

Knowledge Variable

Preschool children are a group of children who are vulnerable to dental and oral diseases because they generally still have behaviors or personal habits that are less supportive of dental health. Disease prevention is effective if parents provide education in an effort to improve children's dental health. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of mothers and preschool children about the consumption of cariogenic foods on oral health status in Taebenu District, Kupang Regency. This research method is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research subjects were 66 consisting of 33 preschoolers aged 4-6 years and 33 mothers of preschool children. Mother and child's knowledge variable was measured by a questionnaire by filling in true and false choices. Oral hygiene status variables were measured using an interview guide. The results of the correlation analysis showed that the mother's knowledge variable (p=0.000) had a significant effect on oral hygiene status. The variable of children's knowledge (p=0.447)  was not significantly related to oral hygiene status. The conclusion is mother's knowledge about cariogenic food consumption is related to oral health status. Children's knowledge about cariogenic food consumption is not related to oral health status.

Background/Aim. Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of rare, genetic connective tissue diseases that cause blisters in the skin and mucosal membranes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral health status of patients with epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica and level of knowledge and opinion of parents about the implementation of preventive measaures and quality of dental care of affected children. Methods. This study included a group of 17 patients from Serbia suffering from dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and matched control group. Dental caries status was assessed using the Klein-Palmer index. Oral hygiene status was verified with oral hygiene indices, simplified plaque index, and calculus index as described by Green and Vermillion. The gingiva was assessed as healthy or inflamed (gingivitis) on the basis of any changes in color, shape, size and surface texture. The condition of oral mucosa has been registered on the basis of inspection of the lips, tongue, a floor of the mouth, mouth vestibule and palate. The level of knowledge and the impressions of parents about the application of preventive measures were investigated through two questionnaires specifically designed for this study. Results. In both dentitions, there was the highest percentage of caries teeth. In primary dentition average value of the modified plaque index was 1.4 ? 1.14 and modified calculus was 0.7 ? 1. On permanent teeth average plaque index was 2 ? 0.4, and average calculus 1.6 ? 0.6. Statistically, significant higher values were found in permanent dentition in percentage distribution of decayed, missing, filled teeth and also for plaque and calculus indices between affected children and the control group. Most common findings on mucosa were microstomia (76.5%) and ankyloglossia (88.2%). Conclusion. The absence of protocol between the treating physician and the dentist and not sufficiently informed parents are leading to inadequate dental care. The implementation of preventive measures is of most importance to decrease the risk of severe complications that are difficult to be managed.

The oral health status of children with congenital heart diseases and the parental awareness on maintaining good oral health and attitude towards preventive dental health measures were evaluated. A total of 170 children between the age group of 1-16yrs belonging to both genders, with the history of congenital heart disease from Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute of Medical Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram and Narayana Hrudayalaya Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangalore were examined. Oral lesions and caries experience were recorded using modified WHO oral health assessment form. Oral hygiene of the children with congenital heart disease was found to be poor with tongue coating (50.6%), plaque (41.8%), calculus(35.3%), and caries (42.4%). Parental awareness on the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene, preventive dentistry, medicinal decay and its systemic effects has been found to be very poor. Dentistry should give priority to patients whose general health may be put at risk by poor dental health. Closer cooperation between Pediatrician, Pediatric Cardiologists and Pediatric Dentists could help improve dental care for these children.
