Background: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is defined as a set of clinical abnormalities involving paralysis, incoordination, tremors and disability as a result of brain damage and the prevalence of dental injuries in children with CP is much higher than for non–syndromic populations. Objective: The main objective this work was to measure the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries in children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 7–17 years, and to assess the most prevalent type of trauma and treatment needs, [Methods] via a cross–sectional study applied in patients. Results: No statistically significant association was found between the type of CP and the occurrence of trauma, or between the last one and occlusion. However, among the victims of trauma, there was a predominance of Class II occlusion. Conclusion: The occurrence of dental trauma in patients was high, which reinforces the importance of monitoring the dental condition of patients with special needs.
