ResumoABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the parents’ perception of dental caries in children with intellectual disability. This cross‐sectional study was conducted with 6 to 14 years old schoolchildren: Group 1 (50 children diagnosed with intellectual disabilities) and Group 2 (50 children without it). The dental caries was assessed by the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for primary and permanent teeth. Parents’ psychosocial perception was assessed by Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS). Similar prevalence of caries free children was found between groups in both dentitions. In primary dentition the caries index was higher in Group 2, and the opposite occurred in permanent teeth. Group 1 presented higher impact ( p < .05) in the dimension drinking, eating and pronunciation, whereas in Group 2 there was higher impact ( p = .01) on pain, sleep, irritation, the smile and family finances. Findings showed significant impact of dental caries on parents’ perception of the oral health related quality of life of children with intellectual disabilities.
