The leading component of the prevention of major dental diseases is oral hygiene. The studies we conducted on the main parameters of dental health in children with physical disabilities stated high prevalence rates of caries, bleeding gums and a low level of oral hygiene. A program for the prevention of dental diseases in children and adolescents with disabilities has been implemented for three years. An intermediate evaluation of the results confirms the clinical effectiveness of the measures taken.
