. Dental status of most people with special needs is not  satisfactory. Many of them are edentulous or toothless, with acute extensive  caries lesions present, high DMFT index and severe periodontal disease. The  objective of this study was to examine the dental status of mentally impaired  persons who live in the special institution “Srce u jabuci” in Pancevo.  Material and Methods. Clinical examination was performed on 114  institutionalized patients (68 male and 46 female), age 22 to 71 years.  Patients were divided in two groups; the first group consisted of 71 persons  who had a moderate mental disorder (F71), while the second group included  43 respondents with severe mental retardation (F72). Oral examination  revealed: the number of present teeth, caries lesions, the presence of  restorations, the number of extracted teeth, the presence of residual roots,  fractures and the presence and number of fixed restorations. Results. The  mean DMFT of total examined teeth was 20.33±7.63. The greatest percentage  found for extracted teeth (63.76%): in the first group 63.23%, and in the  second 64.06%. The percentage of teeth that had caries lesions of all  examined teeth was 33.48%, while the lowest percentage was for restored teeth  (2.76%). In majority of examined people, initial caries, deep caries, or  tooth with the exposed pulp (K1 - 51.74% K2 - 40.35%, K3 - 51.75%) were not  found. A high percentage of examined people had more than 10 extracted teeth  (52.63%). Most of them did not have any restoration in the mouth (81%) and  only three persons had fixed denture. Conclusion. Dental status of  institutionalized mentally impaired persons showed high prevalence of  extracted teeth, significant presence of carious lesions and small percentage  of restored teeth with inadequate oral hygiene
