The aim of the study was to investigate the caries experience, dental care level, and oral hygiene in children and adolescents with Fanconi anemia.Decay-missing-filled teeth index, restorative index and simplified oral hygiene index were examined in two groups of children and adolescents: FA, diagnosed with Fanconi anemia (n = 35) and a healthy control group, non-FA (n = 35). Oral hygiene habits were assessed through questionnaires completed by parents.FA group presents higher decay-missing-filled teeth index values, dental care index, oral hygiene index. Nevertheless, no statistical difference was observed between the groups. Frequency of visits to the dentist was higher in the non-FA group. Frequency of tooth brushing was higher in FA group and it was performed by the subjects without the help of their parents.No difference was observed in caries experience, dental care level, and oral hygiene in children and adolescents with FA when compare with non-FA. |
