Abstract
A complex analysis of dental health and of prevalence of orthodontic anomalies was carried out in children with hearing or sight loss and in a control group of normal children. Results presented tabularly and graphically point to a statistically significant difference in the number of caries-free children between deaf and normal children (P<0.05) as well as between blind and normal children (P<0.01). The overall prevalence of orthodontic anomalies was found to be by 12.65% higher indeaf as compared to normal children, and by 24.69% higher in blind than in normal children. The study was conducted with am aim to allow the most efficient interventions in children requiring intensified health care.
