“…This means that the restorative treatment needs of the studied DS children in the present study were more addressed compared to the control group. These values were in disagreement with the results found in Sharjah and other studies,[1112] as the MNI and RI were lower for the DS sample. This difference could be because DS children in Dubai might have better access to dental clinics than those in Sharjah.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the oral health status in Down syndrome (DS) children in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Materials and Methods: A total of 106 DS children (mean age = 9.3 ± 2.8) and 125 healthy children (mean age = 11.7 ± 4.4) were recruited from both special needs centers and private/public schools in Dubai. A dental examination for decayed-missing-filled teeth (DMFT) in deciduous dentition/DMFT in permanent dentition indices, simplified oral hygiene index, calculus index (CI), were carried out. In addition, occlusal, dentofacial, soft-tissue abnormalities, and erosion were assessed. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS for Windows, version 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The mean number of DMFT in DS children was significantly higher than that in healthy children. DS children in the primary dentition group had higher restorative index and Met Need Index scores than the control group. On the other hand, CI was found to be significantly higher among children with DS compared to healthy controls ( P < 0.004). DS children had a significantly higher proportion of open bite and other occlusal problems. Class III molar angle malocclusion was significantly higher in DS (66%) compared to controls (11.2%). Erosion was significantly higher among DS children compared to healthy control (34% vs. 15.3%). Conclusions: DS children in Dubai had higher caries rate compared to healthy children. DS group received more restorations and dental treatment compared to the control group. More to add, DS children had significantly more calculus, erosion, and malocclusion problems.

“…Dietary factors and parents awareness for oral health of children could be an etiology in this study. The number of food and beverage fermentation of carbohydrates had a major influence in the development of caries (Jain et al, 2010). The child's eating habits were influenced by social and environmental factors such as parents using food as a reward and punishment (Al-Hussyeen and Al-Sadhan, 2006).…”

“…The child's eating habits were influenced by social and environmental factors such as parents using food as a reward and punishment (Al-Hussyeen and Al-Sadhan, 2006). The more mature age of children would give the length time of exposure to the teeth getting longer and also lead to more severe caries (Jain et al, 2010).…”

“…Parents with Down syndrome children should pay more attention to the oral health of their children by taking to the dentist early so that children would get the dental care as soon as possible to ease the severity of caries, guidance and supervision of food and daily tooth brushing at home (Cheng et al, 2011;Al-Hussyeen and Al-Sadhan, 2006;Jain et al, 2010).…”

Different conditions of the oral cavity in children with Down syndrome which are compared to children without Down syndrome increase higher parents knowledge and the risk factors in maintaining oral health of children with Down syndrome. Correlation test with descriptive analytic by survey techniques was aimed to know the relationship of parents knowledge level and socioeconomic factor to oral health of Down syndrome children 6-12 years old in Bandung. Thirty three Down syndrome children in 6-12 years old and their parents from six special needs schools-C were recruited to this study. The data of parents knowledge and socio-economic factor were gathered from questionnaire that had been validated. The oral health of Down syndrome children was recorded using def-t and DMF-T index examination. Analysis had been made between variables using Pearson and Chi-square test (p value <0.05). There was no significant relationship between socioeconomic factors and parents knowledge to oral health of Down syndrome children (p>0.05). Caries is a disease with complex causal factors. Socio-economic factors are not the only determinants of oral health status of children with mental retardation, such as a child with Down syndrome.
