Aim:To evaluate and compare the efficacy of customized toothbrushes in maintenance of oral hygiene and gingival health with that of conventional toothbrushes in children with cerebral palsy. Methods:Thirty patients with cerebral palsy in the age group of 6 to 18 years were randomly divided into two groups-group I (normal toothbrush) and group II (customized toothbrush). Common oral hygiene instructions were given to both the groups. Before beginning the study, plaque index (PI) and modified gingival index (MGI) were recorded, following which patients were made to practice their routine twice a day brushing with either normal toothbrush or custom-made toothbrush for 3 weeks. At the end of 3 weeks, PI and MGI were rerecorded. The subjects belonging to group II were also made to perform muscle exercises using the modified brush head. Results:Significantly high percentage drop between the pre-and post-PI as well as MGI (31.55% and 30.23%, respectively) was observed in the custom-made toothbrush group, while the percentage drop of only 8.34% (PI) and 14.51% (MGI) was seen in the normal toothbrush group.Conclusions: Custom-made tooth brushes increased the efficiency of maintaining oral hygiene and gingival health of individuals with cerebral palsy.

“…Changes in fascicle lengths and fibre diameters were seen with the muscle fibres [22]. The muscular coordination is very important in performing the day to day activities like taking care of the oral hygiene [23]. Moreover, the interaction or cooperation of two or more muscles are known to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.…”

The most common motor disability that is caused due to a progressive brain injury or lesion in childhood is known as Cerebral Palsy (CP). It is primarily an infirmity of posture and muscular tone that occurs as a result of an injury to the developing brain like hypoxia which is non progressive in nature. The history of CP dates back to 1843 where Sir William John Little was credited with its first description. He also coined the term 'cerebral palsy' in 1889. Census from around the world in population-based studies reports that overall birth prevalence of CP is approximately two per 1,000 live births. CP results in impaired motor function thereby affecting the overall oral health. Hence, awareness regarding the care and treatment of these patients amongst dentists is imperative. This review aims at studying the various aspects of CP as well as highlighting the role of the dentist in the treatment of the patients suffering from this condition. It also provides information regarding the implications of CP on dental health.

ANTECEDENTES: La parálisis cerebral infantil es un trastorno del neurodesarrollo motriz, con múltiples factores etiológicos y carácter heterogéneo de manifestaciones clínicas; en general, afecta el movimiento, la postura, el balance, el crecimiento y desarrollo infantiles. La perspectiva actual la define como una diversidad funcional motora, donde un equipo multidisciplinario de especialistas debe fomentar el potencial individual y la mejor calidad de vida para los niños con este trastorno. La Odontopediatría, por tanto, es una especialidad que ofrece excelentes intervenciones que contribuyen al sano desarrollo de los niños con parálisis cerebral.OBJETIVO: Proponer estrategias de Odontología pediátrica para fomentar la atención óptima de los pacientes con parálisis cerebral, definir su condición médica y social para que el equipo de atención multidisciplinaria la conozca.CONCLUSIÓN: La instrucción y el mantenimiento óptimo de la salud bucodental son decisivos para el bienestar y fomento del crecimiento-desarrollo de niños con parálisis cerebral, que los beneficia a ellos y a sus familias. En el campo de la Odontología pediátrica prevalece el deber de permanecer informados y contar con una actitud participativa para aportar más en la meta de mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes con necesidades especiales.
