Orofacial Dysfunction in Cerebral Palsy Patients and Its Association With Oral Health Status and Quality of Life

Participants are assessed for the orofacial function using the Nordic Orofacial test- screening (NOT-S), Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and Communication Function Scale (CFS). Oral health related quality of life is assessed using the Parental- Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P-CPQ). Caries experience was measured by identifying decayed, missing, and filled teeth for deciduous and permanent teeth (dmft). Gingival index and type of occlusion will be recorded.
