METHODS: The experimental group consisted of 100 children with CP and the control group, 100 healthy children. The indices used in the oral examination were: debris index, calculus index, gingival index, Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), and gingival hyperplasia index. RESULTS: It was observed that the mean values for the debris index, OHI-S, and gingival index were higher in the children with CP than in the control group. In the CP group, the percentage of children who had their teeth brushed by their parents or another person was greater than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: From this study, it was concluded that children with CP had greater prevalence of periodontal disease in the primary dentition than children in the control group.
