Evaluation Of Oral Health Status, Salivary Characteristics And Dental Caries Experience In Down’s Syndrome Children
Salivary Characteristics In Down’s Syndrome Children
Keywords:
Down’s syndrome, DMFS, OHI-SAbstract
Background and Objectives : A positive correlation between Salivary characteristics and caries resistance in adults has been reported in literature. Such a correlation is also observed in Down’s syndrome population but lacks sufficient data support. AIM: The present study was conducted to Evaluate and correlate the Oral Health Status, S mutans level, Salivary Flow Rate, salivary pH, Buffering capacity, Calcium level, phosphorus level, IgA level of saliva, and Dental caries experience in Normal healthy children and Downs syndrome children. Methodology: The study population consisted of 60 subjects aged 8-14 years who were divided into two groups: 60 children (30 normal and 30 Down’s syndrome children). Clinical examination was done and the study population was examined for the assessment of dental caries status (WHO 2004) and oral hygiene status (OHI -S Index). Unstimulated total saliva samples were collected. Results & Conclusion: In DS subjects, oral hygiene status and dental caries were insignificant whereas other parameters were highly significant prevalence of dental caries was high and oral hygiene status was not properly maintained when compared to the normal subjects.
