Objective: To assess and compare the oral hygiene and periodontal status among children with Poliomyelitis having
upper limb disability, lower limb disability and both upper and lower disability at Udaipur city, Rajasthan, India.
Study design: Total sample comprised of 344 Poliomyelitis children (upper limb disability: 33.4%; lower limb
disability: 33.7%; both upper and lower limb disability: 32.9%) in the age group of 12-15 years. Clinical examination included recording Simplified Oral Hygiene Index and Community Periodontal Index. Analysis of variance
(ANOVA), multiple logistic and stepwise linear regression were used for statistical analysis.
Results: The mean OHI-S (2.52±1.05) score was found to be highest among children who had both upper and lower
limb disability (p<0.05). The highest and lowest mean number of healthy sextants were found among those with
only lower limb disability (4.53±2.05) and among those with both upper and lower limb disability (0.77±1.39),
respectively (p<0.05). Stepwise multiple linear and multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the best predictor for oral hygiene and periodontal status was limb involved in the disability.
Conclusion: The results of the study depicted an overall poor oral hygiene and periodontal status of the group. It
was recognized that limbs involved in the disability had an impact on the oral hygiene and periodontal condition.
The situation in this specialized population draws immediate attention for an integrated approach in improving
the oral health and focus towards extensive research.
