Abstract

A person with neurological disorder is defined as a person with limitation of ambulation or basic life ac- tivity due to the cerebral palsy or traumatic brain damage, stroke. Recently, the DMFT of the children with neurological disorders is similar or lower than the DMFT of the children with no disability. But, this article is about the severe-early childhood caries in children with grade 1 neurological disorder. It is sup- posed that the primary motor impairment and secondary physical weakness, frequent hospitalization, sug- ar-rich food and drugs, lack of oral care, delayed dental visit made high caries susceptibility. In case of treatment of the children with severe neurological disorders, dentists should make a thorough caries preventive plan based on individualized caries risk assessment. Also parents and medical doctors should recognize the importance of oral care and do the early dental visit and home care. Abstract 교신저자 : 이효설
