Caries among children with cerebral palsy: relation to CP-diagnosis, mental and motor handicap.

They were classified by CP-diagnosis, motor handicap, mental handicap, speech, caries, with dental data statistically analyzed. The caries rate of the combined CP-group was significantly lower than that of the control group.
