Sažetak
This study sets out to examine the prevalence of malocclusion and habits in a group of children with cerebral palsy and to compare it with a control group of healthy children. The presence of anterior open bite was statistically significantly higher in the cerebral palsy group. The presence of posterior crossbite was not significantiy different between the examined groups just as for lingual crossbite. The occurrence of visceral sriallowing, incompetent lips and oral respiration was significantly higher in the cerebral palsy group. The current study cannoi satisiactorily sustain the issue of higher prevalence of posterior and lingual crossbite in children with cerebral palsy because of no significant differences between groups, bui it certainly can for anterioropenbite. The present study also adds to the evidence that there is an increased prevalence of oral breathing, visceral swallowing and lip incompetence in children with cerebral palsy'
