Brief Summary:
CHildren of Cerebral Palsy(CP) are at high risk of developing dental diseases most commonly periodontitis and caries. Neuromuscular and psychological impact makes it difficult for the CP child to clean dental plaque from the surface of the teeth.inability to perform coordinated movements too makes brushing very difficult and hence it worsens the oral hygiene status.
Hence the objective of the study is to assess plaque removal efficacy of powered toothbrush versus manual toothbrush evaluated by improvement in oral hygiene status of patients with Cerebral Palsy CP children who meet inclusion exclusion criteria will be assessed at different time intervals via Oral hygiene index simplified (OHI-S), plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) Scores will be compared and analyzed from baseline, after first phase and after second phase of interventions.

Detailed Description:
Children with cerebral palsy manifests neurologically associated muscular dysfunction. They face difficulty in maintaining posture, gait and locomotion, leading to restricted movements. They are at a higher risk of developing dental diseases most commonly periodontitis and caries. Neuromuscular and psychological impact makes it difficult for the CP child to clean dental plaque from the surface of the teeth. The main cause of dental diseases in CP is ineffective removal of dental plaque. This is due to lack of motor and neuromuscular dysfunction with an inability to understand and comprehend oral hygiene instructions and unable to carryout well-coordinated movements for instance tooth brushing. In a disadvantaged population interventions should be introduced at an early phase of life encouraging it to become part of CP child's daily oral hygiene maintenance regime.
Hence the objective of the study was designed to assess plaque removal efficacy of powered toothbrush versus manual toothbrush evaluated by improvement in oral hygiene status of patients with Cerebral Palsy CP children who will meet the inclusion criteria will be assigned into two groups. Baseline debris, calculus and gingival and plaque status will be recorded using Oral Hygiene Index Simplified (OHI-S) and gingival \& plaque index (PI, GI). The group I will receive a conventional manual toothbrush and group II will be given powered toothbrush. After 4 weeks,will receive powered brush and group II will receive manual brush. After 4 weeks again the subjects will be assessed again for PI, GI, OHI-S. The scores will be compared and analyzed from baseline, after first phase and after second phase of interventions. Repeated measures two way ANOVA with Post Hoc Tukey test. Repeated measures two way ANOVA with Post Hoc Tukey test will be applied on mean GI, PI and OHI-S. Results of phase-I and phase-II will be compared and analyzed
