Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the status of oral health in physically or mentally handicapped students. The status of oral health in 597 handicapped students of six special education institutes and 731 normal students in Chonbuk province were inspected by a dental hygienist from August to November of 1999. 1) The DT index(Decayed Teeth index) was significantly higher in handicapped students comparing with those of normal students. The proportions of children having gingivitis and malocclusion were also significantly higher in handicapped group (p<0.01). 2) The incidences of dental caries, gingivitis and malocclusion were significantly higher in mentally retarded students comparing with those of physical or sensory impairment groups(p<0.01). 3) Handicapped students participating in the regular school teeth-control program showed significantly low incidences of gingivitis and malocclusion comparing with non-participants. However, dental caries had no relationships with teeth control program. There were no differences between commuting and domitory-resident students in the incidences of dental caries, gingivitis and malocclusion.
