The periodontal diseases course in Down syndrome (DS) are earlier and aggressive and are mediated by numerous factors, such as oral hygiene habits, inflammatory profile and salivary alterations. Objective: To evaluate how the hyposalivation and other salivary parameters can influence a periodontal disease on patients with Down syndrome in different ages. Material and methods: A sample composed by 124 patients (Group A – 62 Down syndromes; Group B – 62 Non-syndromic patient) from 6 to 52 years old was excessed to evaluate the salivary parameters (salivary flow, pH and buffer capability) and periodontal diseases (plaque index, bleeding probing, probing depth and others). Also, was collected information about general health and oral hygiene habits. Results: The Group A exhibited high rate of plaque, low buffer capacity and low salivary flow. It was found a high prevalence of periodontal diseases in DS patients and a correlation among the low salivary flow and the severity of the periodontal disease (correlation = -0,27, p = 0,002). These data reveal the impact upon the salivary indicator and the periodontal disease. Conclusion: Patients with DS and hyposalivation present a greater risk to developing periodontal disease.
