Caries prevalence in patients with cerebral palsy and the burden of caring for them.

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between caries prevalence in individuals with cerebral palsy (CPG) and the burden on their caregivers (CGCP) compared to nondisabled individuals (CG) and their caregivers (CGCG). In a cross-sectional assessment, 65 subjects with cerebral palsy were evaluated for their caries prevalence. The CGCP answered the Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS) questionnaire.
