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