About 240 people with hearing and speech impairments (deaf and dumb) were selected from four cities of Saudi Arabia, which includes AlKharj, Riyadh, Dammam and Abha. A questionnaire of two sections was distributed among the participants for collecting data. A simple descriptive analysis was done, and the data were expressed in terms of frequencies and percentages. Microsoft Excel has been used for compilation of data and execution of graphs. Moreover, the questionnaire data were subject to SPSS data analysis (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0, Armonk, IBM Corp. NY).Results:Most of the participants were not aware of the importance of oral health. Majority of the participants described that they did not visit qualified dentists in the past and many of them did not know the right way of doing tooth brushing. Hence, deaf and dumb individuals lack basic knowledge about oral health and dental treatment needs.Conclusion:The study concluded that the awareness level of oral health and dental treatment needs is low among individuals with hearing and speech impairments (deaf and dumb) in Saudi Arabia.

BACKGROUND Oral health status of individuals with special needs is considered to be an important part of the overall health scenario. In India, people with disability may be with one or more kind of disability and is equal to 2.1 % of the population. This study focuses on the Impact of visual instructions on oral health status of children with sensory impairment in western Maharashtra. METHODS An interventional study was conducted among 90 children with either one or both of the following sensory disabilities such as deafness or mute at the Mukh Badhir School, Gajanan Society, Karad, and Maharashtra. WHO oral assessment form 1997 was used to assess oral health status and treatment needs of children, plaque level, calculus level and dental caries assessment. RESULTS Females (0.64±0.29) showed higher score when the mean of plaque and gingival index was considered in both the control and experimental group, prior and post the intervention. The results obtained were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Oral hygiene maintenance is a serious issue in case of sensory impaired children. Even with incorporation of Disclosing Agent appreciable changes were not noted in the study groups post intervention.

“…These findings are contrary to the other reported studies from India. 10,21,22 The reason for such finding could be the low level of oral health awareness observed among the HI in Saudi Arabia. 12 One of the main findings of our study was 82% of prevalence of caries among HI.…”

Aim: The primary objective was to determine the oral health status and treatment needs among hearing-impaired (HI) adults. Second, to assess the relationship between the oral health variables and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) by using General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI)-Ar questionnaire among HI adults in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: A total of 146 HI adults between the age groups of 18-21, 22-25, and >25 years were included in the study. A convenient sampling technique was used to obtain the study sample. Oral health condition was recorded by using oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI). The WHO methodology was used to record dental caries and treatment needs. The Saudi Arabian version of GOHAI-Ar questionnaire was used to gather information with regard to OHRQoL. A sign language expert communicated information between HI and investigator while answering the questionnaire. Results: More than half of the HI had fair OHI-S (55.2%) and PI score (54.2%), while 60.1% of HI had moderate gingival inflammation. The prevalence of dental caries (82.2%) and treatment needs (85.6%) were found to be high. Mean oral hygiene scores between Saudi and non-Saudi nationals [(1.64) vs (1.12), p = 0.041] showed significant differences. Missing and filled teeth showed significant differences across different age groups (p = 0.000). The mean GOHAI-Ar was found to be low (14.44 ± 9.59). Spearman's test showed a significant positive correlation between the GOHAI-Ar score and the toothbrushing method (r = 0.164, p = 0.047). Toothbrushing time, oral hygiene material, last visit to dentist, OHI-S score, PI score, decayed, missing, and decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) scores were negatively correlated with GOHAI-Ar. Speech was the main concern for the HI. Conclusion:There was a fair oral hygiene, moderate gingival inflammation, high caries experience, and treatment needs with low GOHAI-Ar scores indicating poor OHRQoL among HI.
