Popis: Dental neglect is a common condition among children and it can be associated with several adverse events as dental caries, dental pain and inflammation, infections, trauma, bleeding and other complications that might result from inadequate administration of adequate prevention and treatment modalities. However, many children and parents are not adequately aware of these events and the potential diseases that might be associated secondary to them. Dental neglect is a common condition that might affect children of different age groups and might also extend to adult groups and is affected by the demographics and socioeconomic characteristics of the affected populations. Furthermore, the etiology of dental neglect is variable and parenteral, child and clinical care should all be integrated to achieve better oral health. Many adverse events have been reported as dental caries and other periodontal diseases that might have a significant impact on the affected teeth and the succeeding permanent ones, which might impact the quality of life in the affected children. Accordingly, dental neglect should be given full care to enhance the outcomes of oral health in children.
