Abstract
Objective: Evaluation of dental treatment of intellectually disabled (ID) people is often
confusing, since the wide range of ages (children,teenagers and adults), oral health problems
and concomitant diseases. There have been many studies in pediatric ID patients but little is
known about the differences between age groups in children or adults.
Materials-Methods: We hypothesize that children and adults with ID may have different oral
health outcomes and that differences will be statistically significant. The DMFT/DMFS results,
Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPI-TN), functional occlusal pairs and
units.Study population is the ID patient operated in general anesthesia between 2021-2023.
All patients aged 14-65 were before general anesthesia and DMFT/DMFS, CPI, TN, occlusal unit
and functional occlusal pairs data was collected. The patients were grouped according to ages
on 14-24(group A) and >25 (group B) years. Study parameters were compared between this
study groups.
Results: The number of patient of groups A and B were 17 and 21, respectively. The values
of DMFT, DMFS, occlusal unit, functional occlusion pairs, number of missing teeth and number
of missing tooth surfaces in our patients were in group A and group B have no difference
between before surgery, after surgery and difference after surgery-before surgery. CPI data
have difference between groups. TN data have no difference between groups
Conclusion: It was concluded that if patients are given tooth brushing education at an early
age or if they are taken to multidisciplinary surgery, better results will be obtained in terms of
the health of periodontal tissues and the treatment needs of patients will be reduced.
