“…In the UK over 200,000 adults have profound learning disabilities and/or complex medical conditions with poorer oral health, poorer health outcomes, and poorer access to services compared to the rest of their population [35]. In a study of 112 individuals with DS in Kuwait, higher plaque scores and gingival irritation were found on initial screening which decreased after 3 months of a supervised brushing program in their school [36]. Poor oral health including signs of gingivitis and untreated caries were found by dentists on screenings of 1,286 Special Olympics athletes in Nigeria [37].…”

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are at risk for dental disease and face substantial challenges in accessing both routine and preventive dental services. In terms of unmet needs it ranks third, following residential services and employment opportunities for this particular group of people. Poorer oral health status negatively impacts overall health and one’s quality of life. Factors contributing to this problem include significantly higher rates of dental caries, periodontal disease, poor oral hygiene, low expectations, fear of treatment, and lack of awareness among individuals and carers. Additional factors include problems accessing dental care or denial of services because of inadequate education and clinical training, inappropriate bias, or inadequate levels of compensation to providers. Strategies to improve service delivery include individualized and coordinated care services, education of individuals, carers, and providers, including both classroom and clinical experiences with special needs patients in dental programs.

Aims This study aimed to perform an epidemiological systematic review and meta‐analysis to estimate the global prevalence of dental caries in athletes with intellectual disabilities. Methods and results This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42017068127). A systematic and extensive search was conducted in the Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library (Lilacs) databases, and Grey literature from inception up to April 2017. The MeSH terms “Sports,” Athletes,” and “Dental Caries” were used. The inclusion criteria used were observational cross‐sectional studies, longitudinal retrospective and prospective studies that present the prevalence of dental caries in athletes with intellectual disabilities. After the selection process, the risk of bias was assessed and a meta‐analysis was conducted. Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these, eight studies were considered to have a moderate risk of bias, and eight were considered to have high risk of bias. The global prevalence of dental caries was 36.5% (95% CI = 30.6 to 42.7) with high heterogeneity between studies. Conclusion Dental caries is a significant global health problem in athletes with intellectual disabilities worldwide. There is a great need for increased oral health promotion, education, and prevention as a way to reduce this condition in this population.

“…Thriandini et al [29] screened child athletes with a mean age of 13.4 and observed that almost 70% of the athletes had visible untreated caries. Oredugba et al [30) conducted a similar study in Nigeria and reported that 22.4% of the child athletes had untreated caries lesions. Bissar et al [31) evaluated child athletes between 12-17 years in the Special Olympics in Germany and observed a caries prevalence of 58% and a mean DMFT of 2.3.…”

Aim: Poor oral hygenia status affects nutrition and sleep in children and it is reported to have a negative influence on growth and development. Therefore, similarly it may negatively affect young athletes' performance in sports activities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between oral hygenia and athletic performance in child athletes from the Sports Academy of Kırıkkale University. Material and Methods:Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index (DMFT) scores were recorded for each subject and sports performance tests were performed. Results:The agility (Tdrill, Zigzag, 505, LCDT) and short sprint (10m, 20m, 30m best) tests conducted in this research showed that athletes whose DMFT values were over 3 were more successful than athletes whose DMFT values were equal or more than 3 (P < 0.01). Moreover, the results from Bosco test revealed that athletes whose DMFT values less than 3 were significantly more successful (P < 0.01). Also a correlation between DMFT values and results of the performance tests were found. Conclusion:These results highlight the importance of informing young athletes regarding oral health.

Turk J Clin Lab 2017; 8(1): 11-15 ÖZ Amaç: Kötü ağız hijyeninin çocuklarda beslenme ve uykuyu etkilediği ve büyüme-gelişim üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu durum çocuk sporcuların sportif aktiviteler sırasındaki başarısını da olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. Çalışmamızın amacı Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Spor Akademisindeki çocuk hastaların atletik performansları ile ağız sağlığı arasındaki bir ilişki olup olmadığının değerlendirlmesidir. Keywords Gereç ve Yöntemler:Araştırmaya katılan tüm çocuklara ait "Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index" (DMFT) skorları kaydedilmiş ve spor performans testleri uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: Uygulanan çeviklik (Tdrill, Zigzag, 505, LCDT) ve "short sprint" (10m, 20m, 30m best) testleri, DMFT değerleri 3'ten düşük olan sporcuların, DMFT değerleri 3 ve daha yüksek olan sporculara göre istatistiksel olarak daha başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir (P < 0,01). Bosco testi sonuçlarına göre de DMFT değeri 3'ten daha az olan sporcuların istatistiksel olarak daha başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir (P < 0,01). Ayrıca, DMFT skorları ve performans testi sonuçları arasında korelasyon varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar:Bu sonuçlar çocuk sporcuların ağız sağlığı konusunda bilgilendirilmelerinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
