Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral health care of children/adolescents with Cerebral Palsy (CP) according to severity, through the perception of the parents/caregivers. A case series study was conducted in health services in Pernambuco with 94 mothers/caregivers of subjects with CP between 5 and 18 years old. Socioeconomic, demographic factors, oral health care and use of dental services (DS) were evaluated. The Gross Motor Function Classification System showed 67% with severe motor impairment. Individuals with severe CP had a significantly higher frequency of belonging to families with lower income (89%, p<0,001), living in the interior (44%, p<0,005), having transportation difficulties (60%, p=0.04) and of accessibility to DS (88%, p =0.009) and greater need for oral hygiene (67%, p=0.008) performed by the mothers (94%, p <0.001). Despite DS access barriers, it was facilitated for those with severe PC, with early DS use, but with a low supply of dentists and humanization. These results inform problems related to daily care in oral health, family life context, institutional support and DS quality to be faced with comprehensive inclusive and equitable social and economic public policies.
