“…The prevalence of DDE in the permanent dentition of participants shown in this present study was between 37.3% in the rural lower F area and 83.5% in the rural higher F area and illustrated the expected association between F‐induced diffuse opacities and the concentration of F in community water supplies, as diffuse opacities accounted for the highest prevalence in terms of type of DDE, as seen in previous studies …”

Objectives: Enamel formation is a vulnerable developmental process, susceptible to environmental influences such as excessive systemic fluoride (F) exposure and infant/childhood disease. This study determined prevalence and extent of developmental enamel defects (DDE) and dental fluorosis in 8-year-old Nigerians and explored associations with key predictors.Methods: A sample of 322 healthy 8-year-olds (155 males, 167 females) from primary schools in lower and higher water F areas of (i) rural and (ii) urban parts of Oyo State in south-west Nigeria (n = 4 areas) (in which the mean (SD) F concentration of community water supplies ranged from 0.07 (0.02) to 2.13 (0.64) mg F/L) were dentally examined using modified DDE (mDDE) and Thylstrup and Fejerskov (TF) indices. Drinking waters, cooking waters and toothpaste samples were analysed for F concentration using a F ion-selective electrode (F-ISE). Information on infant/ childhood diseases, infant feeding and tooth cleaning practices was obtained from parents/legal guardians. Data were analysed using ANOVA, chi-square tests, Spearman correlation and binary logistic regression as appropriate.Results: Mean (SD) F concentration of actual drinking and actual cooking waters consumed by participants was 0.25 (0.20) and 0.24 (0.14) mg F/L respectively in the urban higher F area; 1.11 (1.00) and 1.16 (1.02) mg F/L, respectively in the rural higher F area (P < .05). Overall, mouth prevalence of DDE in the permanent dentition was 61.2% with a mean (SD) of 2.4 (2.2) index teeth affected. Dental fluorosis mouth prevalence was 29.8% with a mean of 2.1 (3.7) teeth affected. Prevalence and extent of DDE and dental fluorosis were greater in higher F than lower water F areas (P < .001). A weak positive correlation was seen between extent of dental fluorosis and drinking water F concentration (q = 0.28). The absence of infant/childhood disease was associated with a lower risk of DDE being present (P = .001),with an odds ratio of 0.43 (95% CI = 0.26, 0.71). Gender was a statistically significant (P = .014) predictor for dental fluorosis with females having a higher risk OR 1.94 (95% CI = 1.14, 3.28) of dental fluorosis than males.Conclusions: In these Nigerian 8-year-olds (n = 322), mouth prevalence of DDE was 61.2% (mean (SD) teeth affected = 2.4 (2.2)), and a key positive predictor was a history of infant/childhood disease. With 29.8% of these children exhibiting dental fluorosis (mean (SD) teeth affected = 2.1(3.7)), drinking water F concentration was

“…Epidemiological studies indicate that prevalence of ECC is quite high in pre-school (2-5 years) children and this tended to increase with age [4,8,9]. Prevalences of ECC were found to be 27-44 % in India, 32-36 % in Brazil, 40 % in Malaysia and 48-94 % in Mexico [2,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. In Turkey, the prevalences were reported to be between 17.3-69.8 % [3,4,16,17].…”

ÖzetAmaç: Erken süt çocuğu diş çürüğü 24-72 ay çocuklarda en az bir ya da daha fazla diş çürüğü, süt dişlerinde kayıp ya da dolgu olması olarak tanımlanmak-tadır. Etyolojik faktörlerin değişim göstermesi nedeniyle erken süt çocuğu diş çürüklerinin prevalansı tüm dünyada farklılık göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'nin güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesinde erken süt çocuğu diş çürü-ğü prevalansını ve etyolojik faktörlerini belirlemek ve pediatrist bakışı açısı ile değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Pediatri polikliniğimize herhangi bir şi-kayetle başvuran, yaşları 24-72 ay arasında değişen olgular çalışmaya dahil edildi. Diş çürüğü olanlar ve olmayan değerlendirildi ve yetkili kişi tarafından ailelere bir anket doğrultusunda sorular soruldu. Bu anket; anne sütü, vitamin D kullanımı, multivitamin kullanımı, demir desteği, biberon ve emzik kullanı-mı, yoğurt tüketimi, asitli içekler, aynı doğrultuda diş fırçalama alışkanlıkla-rı, diş hekimi tarafından kontrolü, ebeveynlerin sigara kullanımını içermekte idi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 553 hasta dahil edildi. Erken süt çocuğu diş çürüğü % 33,1 olarak tespit edildi. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda; emzik kullanımı, multivitamin desteği ve asitli içeceklerin erken süt çocuğu diş çürüğüne anlamlı derecede katkıda bulunmakta olduğu belirlendi. Tartışma: Çocukluk yaş grubunda biz emzik kullanımından, gereksiz multivitamin desteğinden, asidik içecek-lerden kaçınılması gerektiğini ya da bu gıdaların verilmesinden sonra dişlerin fırçalanmasını öneriyoruz. Anahtar KelimelerErken Süt Çocuğu Diş Çürüğü; Multivitamin; Emzik Abstract Aim: Early childhood caries are characterized by the presence of at least one or more decayed, missing or filled teeth surfaces in any primary tooth of a child 24-72 months of age. The prevalance of early childhood caries is variable among the world because of wide range of contributing aetiological factors. Aim of this study to determine the prevalance and aetiologic factors of early childhood caries, in South East Anatolia Region of Turkey and evaluated as a pediatrician view. Material and Method: Patients admitted to pediatric polyclinics for any reason, aging between 24 to 72 months, were enrolled in this study. The children who had dental caries and who had not were examined by a dentist. Families were requested to voluntarily answer questions asked by our staff who follow a questionnaire. This questionnaire contains breastfeeding, usage of vitamin D, multivitamin formulations, iron supplements, baby bottle and pacifier, as well as consumpion of yogurt, acidic drinks, in addition to health habits of brushing teeth, check up by the dentist, cigarette usage of parents (mother, father or both). Results: 553 patients were included the study. Early childhood caries was determined to be 33,1 %. As a result of this study, we found that pacifier usage, multiviamin supplements and acidic drinks were significantly contributing to early childhood caries. Discussion: We advise refrainment from pacifier usage and unnecesary consumption of multivitamin supplemantation, aci...

“…Torna-se importante frisar que estudos encontram frequentemente a associação entre a presença de defeitos de esmalte e a presença de cárie dentária 42 . Em situações mais severas, pode existir sobreposição, prevalecendo o efeito destrutivo da cárie e influenciando a qualidade de vida das crianças 43 . Estudos demonstram que as hipoplasias favorecem a adesão de bactérias e o surgimento da cárie dental, situação que poderá ser agravada devido ao esmalte com defeito ser menos resistente à ação dos ácidos provenientes das bactérias 23 .…”
