Sažetak

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the oral hygiene in patients with multiple sclerosis. Material and Methods: 86 patients with multiple sclerosis and 54 healthy persons were examined. The state of oral hygiene was evaluated with the use of OHI-S index according to Green and Vermillion limited only to dental plaque. The obtained data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test. Results: Obtained results showed that 44,2 % of patients with multiple sclerosis and 54,2% of healthy persons had good oral hygiene (code 0). The mean value of OHI-S index was 1,29 in MS group and 1,08 in the control group. Conclusion: Higher values of OHI-S index among multiple sclerosis cases than in control group indicates poorer oral hygiene status in patients with a systemic disease.
