Intellectual disability means a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information. To make the health services according to the needs of intellectually disabled we must first know the oral hygiene practices they follow, their diet and oral problems from their perspective. Objective: To assess the knowledge, behavior, perception and practices of intellectually disabled towards oral health. Methodology: Convenience sampling was done. Sample was taken from special care home in Raichur. A closed ended, specially designed and modified questionnaire was used. Individuals residing in Nirasritara Parihara Kendra with recognized intellectual disability were included in the study. Individuals who are not able to participate were excluded. Total sample size was 100. Results: Mean age group was 42.7. Out of 100, 36% participants thought their oral condition was poor,68% never visited dentist,80% were never aware of dentist,71% were not interested in visiting dentist and 56% said they won't be ready for treatment. Conclusion: This study concluded that there is lack of awareness about dentists in intellectually disabled people residing in special care home in Raichur. The individuals with disabilities deserve the same opportunities for dental services as those who are healthy.

Creactive protein (CRP) is known as a marker of hyperinflation. Patients with high levels of CRP have worse prognoses with COVID-19. Recent studies have shown the association between oral health status and systemic diseases and the impact of good oral care on risk reduction of viral respiratory diseases. Objectives of the Study To find the impact of oral hygiene condition on the severity, duration of hospitalization, and CRP values of post-Covid-19 recovered patients of Raichur. Methodology The study design was a cross-sectional, questionnaire survey. Convenient sampling was used.105 patients were included from Navodaya Medical College and Hospital (NMCH) from April 2021 to August 2021. An open-ended, pretested questionnaire was used which was divided into two sections. First section for oral health evaluation and second section for COVID-19 severity. This was done via telephonic interviews. The HRCT chest report and C-Reactive protein reports were collected from medical records department of NMCH Included patients above 18 years old, both genders with positive RT-PCR report. Excluded patients with medical complications and who failed to complete the questionnaire or refuses to provide consent. Result Inverse co-relation between the oral health status and the Covid-19 severity, duration of hospital stays and the CRP values were found using the ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient and was found statistically significant. Conclusion This study found patients with poor oral health status had longer duration of hospital stay, increased Covid-19 severity and the CRP values.
