Abstract

The aim of the study – to investigate the prevalence and intensity of dental caries and parodontal diseases among children with autistic spectrum disorders.

Materials and Methods. The research was held in charity organization “Dim myloserdia” in Chortkiv, which takes care of child­ren with special needs especially with autistic spectrum disorders. 81 chidren with autistic spectrum disorders aged 2–18 were examined. Personal, social and health education was determined by analyzing parents’ questionary lists. Oral hygiene status was investigated using Fedorov-Volodkina index. The hard tissues status was studied using the measures of the dental caries intensity by WHO methods. The level of dental health service was evaluated by P. A. Leus.

Results and Discussion. The analysis of the questionary lists showed the insufficiency of personal, social and health education among children with autistic spectrum disorders, so health and oral hygiene teaching events including theatrical and educational play were held. The results of parents’ questionary lists about the nutrition peculiarities showed that 41.97 % of children have a good level of nutrition habits, 16.05 % of examined children keep their food in cheeks, 53.08 % of children tend to eat soft and processed food. The average value of Fedorov-Volodkina index is 2.97 points which indicates the bad level of oral dental hygiene. The level of dental health service is insufficient (16.7 %). The prevalence of dental caries is 84.81 % in the presence of intensity (9.74+0.17). Chronic catarrhal gingivitis leads among parodontal disease (87.65 %), the prevalence of localized and generalized parodontitis is 17.28 %. Dentofacial anomalies were indicated in 86.04 % of children. Self-injurious behavior was revealed in 48.01 % of children.

Conclusion. High prevalence and intensity of dental caries and parodontal disease among children with autistic spectrum disorders confirms the need of effective primary dental prophylaxis methods induction.
