Materials& Methods: In this case-control cross-sectional study, 33 Children diagnosed with ADHD and medicated, 32 Children diagnosed with ADHD but non-medicated and 37 healthy Children, 7‒ 12 years of age, were investigated using DMF/dmft and PI parameters. The subjects were matched in terms of age and gender. Data were analyzed with SPSS 18 at a significance level of p value < 0. 05. Results: The mean PI (p value = 0. 48) and DMFT (p value = 0. 97) indexes in Children with ADHD were not significantly different from the healthy subjects; however, the mean dmft index in the control group was significantly lower than those in the two groups with ADHD (p value = 0. 04). Conclusion: Children with ADHD are not able to carry out regular activities properly such as brushing their teeth due to attention deficiency and impulsivity. Therefore, the deciduous teeth of such Children are more prone to Dental caries compared to healthy Children. In the age range evaluated in the present study, there were no differences in DMFT between the case and control groups.
