Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the periodontal condition of people with Down syndrome (DS). Furthermore, risk factors were identified for the development of periodontitis.

Methods and results: Data were collected at the Centre for Special Care Dentistry (CBT) Rijnmond from the records of all 183 registered patients with DS who were 18 years of age on 31 December 2013. Patients were divided into two groups on the basis of their periodontal status: healthy or periodontally compromised. A total of 36.6% of the DS patients had actually incurred damage by periodontitis. The risk factors were: high age at the time of intake, large number of treatment sessions, and impossibility for the "Dutch Periodontal Screening Index" to be measured. In conclusion, the early introduction and continuous attendance of DS patients in a CBT can contributed to better results for a healthy periodontal condition.
