ABSTRACT


Aim

To evaluate the effects of epilepsy therapy on the oral health in paediatrics patients.

Material and methods

The test has involved 57 patients. The patients were stratified in three groups: monotherapy group, politherapy group and control group. They were examined and after that the test groups were compared with the control group.

Results

Statistical results show the absence of significant differences between test and control groups.

Conclusion

Paediatric epileptic patients seem to have a greater risk of having a worse oral health status compared with healthy patients. However, if the patient is well monitored and undergoes regular dental checks, the oral condition is comparable to a healthy subject.
