Dental caries prevalence in the primary dentition of cerebral-palsied children.

The aim of this study was to evaluate dental caries prevalence in the primary dentition of children with cerebral palsy, as well as to determine some possible risk factors involved in establishing this disease. From this study, it was concluded that children with cerebral palsy had greater prevalence of dental caries in the primary dentition than normal children, and that the evaluated risk factors did not influence this result.
