Abstract
Dental caries (tooth decay) is a common oral health problem among children, significantly impacting their overall well-being and quality of life. Therefore, it is of interest to find the prevalence of dental caries and oral hygiene status in specially-abled children. This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the prevalence of dental caries and oral hygiene status in 225 specially-abled children. The participants, aged <18 years, were included in the study. The study included children with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities, ensuring a diverse representation of conditions that may impact oral health. A total of 225 especially abled children participated in the study, with a mean age of 12.5± 3.4 years. The participants included 130 males (57.8%) and 95 females (42.2%). Children with intellectual disabilities exhibited the highest mean DMFT (Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth) score (4.2 ± 2.3), with 75% of them affected by dental caries. In comparison, children with physical disabilities had a mean DMFT score of 3.6 ± 1.9 and a caries prevalence of 62%. Thus, the prevalence of dental caries and poor oral hygiene status is notably high among specially-abled children, particularly those with intellectual disabilities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
