ABSTRACT
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a hereditary progressive neuromuscular disorder. Deterioration and weakening of the muscles is also present in orofacial muscles. Both weakness of the muscles and the fact that patients become more dependent of care, can make oral care more difficult. At this moment, it is unknown how patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy experience their oral health and which problems regarding oral health and oral care may impact their oral health related quality of life. In this cross-sectional study, we found that, despite a high percentage of gingivitis, a high percentage of patients who experience halitosis and a high percentage of malocclusions, patients score their oral health related quality of life as good.
