Abstract
Cerebral palsy is a complex group of motor abnormalities and functional impairments that affect muscle coordination. This developmental disability may be associated with uncontrolled body movements, seizure disorders, balance-related abnormalities, sensory dysfunction, and intellectual disability. Providing oral care to people with cerebral palsy requires adaptation of the skills to be used every day. The provision of dental care to individuals with mental retardation and cerebral palsy poses a particular challenge to the dental practitioner. A detailed knowledge of the dental implications of this disorder, together with an innovative and problem solving approach to providing treatment options will do much to further the oral health of these individuals. The limitations to treatment choices must be carefully explained to parents/guardians if inappropriate expectations are to be avoided.
