“…Demarcated opacities were the most common type of DDE observed in the present study (11.5%), similarly to previous studies . A Brazilian study involving preschool children showed a slightly higher prevalence of demarcated opacities; however, that study involved children who were older than those in our study, different that used in our research. Other studies, however, reported a higher frequency of diffuse opacities .…”

“…According to this study, the overall prevalence of DDE in the primary teeth of children aged 24‐36 months was 13.1%. Worldwide, the prevalence of DDE in the primary dentition ranges from 3.9% to 81.3% . A birth cohort study in Brazil that followed up children to the age of 54 months revealed that 81.3% of the participants had at least one tooth affected by DDE .…”

“…3 Dental caries exerts a negative impact on the quality of life of both the child and the family, 2 and is considered a public health problem. The etiology of dental caries in childhood is associated with eating habits, 4,5 irregular tooth brushing 6,7 and socioeconomic indicators. 8 Children from economically vulnerable families have a higher…”

Incidence of dental caries in primary dentition and risk factors: a longitudinal study Abstract: The objectives of this prospective, longitudinal, population-based study were to estimate the incidence of dental caries in the primary dentition, identify risk factors and determine the proportion of children receiving dental treatment, through a two-year follow up. The first dental exam was conducted with 381 children aged one to five years, at health centers during immunization campaigns; 184 of them had dental caries and 197 had no caries experience. The second exam was carried out two years later at a nursery or at home with the same individuals who participated in the first exam. The diagnosis of dental caries was performed using the dmft criteria. Parents were interviewed regarding socioeconomic indicators. Descriptive, bivariate and adjusted Poisson regression analyses were performed. Among the 381 children, 234 were reexamined after two years (non-exposed: 139; exposed: 95). The overall incidence of dental caries was 46.6%. The greatest incidence of dental caries was found in the group of children with previous caries experience (61.1%). Among the children without dental caries in the first exam, 36.7% exhibited caries in the second exam. The majority of children (72.6%) received no treatment for carious lesions in the two-year interval between examinations. Children with previous dental caries (RR: 1.52, 95%CI: 1.12-2.05) had a greater risk of developing new lesions, compared with the children without previous dental caries. The incidence of dental caries was high and most of children's caries were untreated. Previous caries experience is a risk factor for developing new carious lesions in children.

“…To date, studies suggest that malnutrition episodes may increase susceptibility to caries due to defects in enamel development (hypoplasia) or alterations in the salivary glands [10]. Hypoplastic enamel is associated with the occurrence of early childhood caries [9]. In addition, malnourished children have lower buffering capacity and secretion rates of saliva, lower secretion rates of calcium and protein, and compromised immunological factors when compared to well-nourished children [19].…”

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether health conditions in the first year of life, nutritional status and dietary habits throughout life are related to the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC). Material and methods: Sample consisted of 338 children from public schools. The prevalence of dental caries was assessed by dmf-t index. An anthropometric analysis was conducted for identification of nutritional risk. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and Poisson regression analysis, considering the dependent variables: a) presence of ECC (dmft ≥ 1); b) presence of severe ECC (dmft ≥ 6). Results: It was observed that 64% of the children exhibited ECC (mean dmft 2.97) and 23% suffer from severe ECC (mean dmft 8.2). 28 (11%) were at nutritional risk and more than 30% consumed sweets one or more times a day. It was observed that 8% showed low birth weight, 9% used antibiotics frequently in the first year of life and 67% maintained the habit of nocturnal bottle/breast-feeding after this period. Nocturnal feeding for prolonged time, frequent use of antibiotics and nutritional risk were associated with higher prevalence and severity of caries in the multivariate analysis. Conclusion: These results reinforce the relationship between early life events, nutritional status, and dental caries in primary teeth. ISSN:Electronic version: 1984-5685 RSBO.

Association between developmental defects of enamel and early childhood caries: a cross‐sectional study

Abstract: The presence of ECC was associated with the occurrence of DDE in the primary dentition. Place of residence and monthly household income (socioeconomic indicators) and oral hygiene (behavioural factor) exerted an influence on the occurrence of ECC.
