Abstract
More than 10 years ago 400 mentally and physically handicapped children aged 3 to 18 years were included in a dental care program to improve their oral health status. Besides dental treatment a comprehensive preventive program (tooth brushing, application of fluorides, dietetic recommendations) was carried out. The results prove a significant caries reduction and an increase in caries free children. A reduction of dental plaque and marginal inflammations were also observed. To prevent the carious destruction of the dentition of the handicapped, these patients should receive regular prevention-oriented dental care from the age of 3 years.
