Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To assess the oral health status and related factors among hearing impaired schoolchildren.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study among 115 hearing impaired schoolchildren enrolled at the School of the Deaf in Jordan. The World Health Organization (WHO) methodology and criteria were applied to collect data on caries, gingival bleeding. The WHO classification modified by Andreasen et al. was used to record traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). Sociodemographic data, oral health practices, and oral health related quality of life information were collected using a structured questionnaire.
RESULTS: The prevalence of caries among the study sample was 84.3%, the dominating component was untreated dental caries. Mean decayed, missing, filled primary teeth (dmft) was 8 in the primary dentition and 3.62 in the mixed dentition, mean Decayed, Missing, Filled permanent Teeth (DMFT) was 1.38 in the mixed dentition and 2.87 in the permanent. The overall mean of gingival bleeding percentage among the whole study sample was 70.38%. the prevalence of TDIs was of 11.3% and mostly caused by falls.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of dental caries and caries experience, rate of gingival bleeding and dental trauma in children with hearing impaired individuals are high compared to figures observed in studies conducted among Jordanian schoolchildren with normal hearing. Dental diseases impact the quality of life of these individuals.

摘要：
目的：评估听障学童口腔健康状况及相关因素。
方法：对约旦聋人学校的115名听力受损学童进行的一项横断面研究。世界卫生组织（WHO）的方法和标准被用来收集龋齿的数据，牙龈出血.由Andreasen等人修改的WHO分类。用于记录创伤性牙齿损伤（TDI）。社会人口统计数据，口腔健康实践，使用结构化问卷收集口腔健康相关生活质量信息。
结果：研究样本中龋齿的患病率为84.3%，主要成分是未经处理的龋齿。卑鄙的腐烂，失踪,填充的乳牙（dmft）在原牙列中为8，在混合牙列中为3.62，卑鄙的腐烂，失踪，填充的永久性牙齿（DMFT）在混合牙列中为1.38，在永久性中为2.87。整个研究样本中牙龈出血百分比的总体平均值为70.38％。TDI的患病率为11.3%，主要由跌倒引起。
结论：龋齿的患病率和龋齿经历，与在听力正常的约旦学童中进行的研究中观察到的数字相比，听力受损儿童的牙龈出血和牙齿创伤的发生率很高。牙科疾病影响这些个体的生活质量。
