Abstract
The objective of the cross-sectional research was to study factors associated with dental caries and oral hygiene among 109 special children having neurodevelopmental disorder aged 3-18 years old who were receiving development trained at Rajanukul Institute during June-July, 2017. Two datasets were gathered. The care givers self-reported the oral behavioral questionnaire and a dentist examined children’s oral health status. The data was analyzed using percent, mean, standard deviation independent t test, and one way ANOVA. The significant value was set lower than 0.05. The overall caries prevalence was 59.6%. The mean decayed, missing and filled teeth of deciduous dentition (dmft) was 2.39 teeth per child and that of permanent dentition (DMFT) was 1.19 teeth per child. The oral hygiene was stated by the mean of debris, calculus and oral hygiene index were 1.00, 0.10 and 1.10 per child, respectively.
Many factors significantly affect mean DMFT were increasing age, male, tooth brushing compliance, and do tooth brushing by his/herself. While increasing age, brushing teeth by his/herself, drinking soft drink, candy or chocolate consumption, no dental visit last year, and visiting dentist irregularly were significantly factors affect the mean debris score. Only increasing age was the factor affect mean dmft and mean calculus score.
