About this study

To assess oral health related quality of life (OHRQOL) after full mouth rehabilitation under GA in a group of Egyptian children with down syndrome .

Read the detailed description

Dental treatment under GA provides a safe approach and has significant positive effects on quality of life for children with down syndrome who cannot accept normal treatment. Oral health related quality of life is measured in relation to how the mouth and teeth affect physical, psychological and social well-being and daily activities such as eating, chewing, swallowing, speaking, playing, learning, happiness, embarrassment, and social interactions (Jabarifar et al., 2009). Jankauskiene et al., 2010 conducted a systematic review concluded that "Oral rehabilitation under GA results in immediate improvement of the children's oral health and physical, emotional and social quality of life. It also has a positive impact on the family". Dental caries is a common condition amongst young children which negatively impacts on their quality of life. children with down syndrome who have an increased risk of developing caries due to various reasons: limited oral healthcare, difficultty in dental services,un stable diet, the high sugar contents in their medications and low salivary secretion(Peerbhay \& Titinchi, 2014).
