Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most severe childhood neurodevelopmental disabilities resulting from non-progressive insult to the developing brain. We aimed to report our experience regarding dental visit attendance, caries prevalence and factors affecting dental access in children with CP in Singapore.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with CP who were born in or after 1994 were included in this study. We reviewed the data of all 151 patients recruited under the CP Registry in Singapore (SingCPR) from September 2017 to May 2020. The SingCPR was launched in September 2017 to assist in future planning of services and resources for CP in Singapore.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 7.8 years, with the interquartile range being 3 years and 8 months-10 years and 10 months. Only 41.7% reported a visit to the dentist ever, with 25.4% reporting presence of dental caries. Age was the only statistically significant factor influencing access to dental care. None of the children less than 2 years old ever received any dental care, and 20% of the children with CP aged 2-6 years had received dental care before. Age range with the highest percentage of dental visits was 7-12 years, with up to 44.0% having ever received dental care. We believe the prevalence of dental caries was underreported as many children did not receive any dental care and therefore may have undetected dental caries.
Conclusion: Dental care in children with CP should be advocated early for prevention and detection of caries.
