“…On the other hand, this finding may be attributed to their adolescent period when frequent eating, more snack consumption and less parental supervision are observed. In addition, emotional distresses during this period are blamed for salivary dysfunction and less resistance to caries [16], and their dental scores more resembled those of healthy controls. There is no consensus among the investigators with regard to dental and oral health, as well as to quality of life of CBD patients.…”

Summary. The purpose of this study was to investigate the dental and some other aspects of oral health status of young patients with congenital bleeding disorders (CBD) and the impact of these on their quality of life (OHR-QoL) compared with controls. DMFS-dmfs (Decayed, Missed, Filled Tooth surfaces in permanent and primary teeth) scores, Simplified oral hygiene index, occurance of hypoplasia of first permanent molars, Temporomandibular joint dysfunction and occlusion of 46 CBD patients at the age range of 2-15 years and 46 of other children as control were compared, and the impact of their oral health situation on quality of life was also investigated. Data were analysed by chi-square, t-test and Pearson correlation. Patients were significantly more caries-free with less decayed teeth in primary-permanent dentition (P = 0.03, t = À2.17).The mean scores of OHR-QoL of CBD patients and controls were not significantly different. Oral Bleeding was the significant variable in relation to 'oral health-related quality of life' in CBD groups (Pearson correlation, r = À0.56, P = 0.000). OHR-QoL in the control group was related to dmfs score (r = À0.392, P = 0.011) and male gender (r = À0.329, P = 0.026). Congenital bleeding disorder CBD patients were found to have a better dental health situation in primary dentition compared with controls; however, their 'oral health-related quality of life' was similar. Oral bleeding was the only significant factor related to OHR-QoL in CBD. It shows an overall importance of development of comprehensive care centres for CBD as the main cause of this achievement.

“…The high mean of this index in both groups of asthmatic and healthy children in this study and other studies mentioned above (more than 1 according to WHO criteria) may suggest the inattention of parents to the growth of deciduous and permanent teeth and their low awareness of the importance of oral health and nutritional patterns (sugary food consumption) of their children. This causes the early decay of the first permanent molar tooth, which is the most important tooth in chewing and generally the health of other teeth, because the growth of this tooth influences the way other teeth grow (21).…”

Background and Objective:Regarding the prevalence of premature dental caries in childhood and the role of asthma as a risk factor for increased vulnerability to dental caries, the present study aimed to determine and compare the frequency of dental caries between asthmatic children under treatment with inhaled corticosteroids and healthy children. Methodology: In this case-control study, 70 children with asthma who were taking corticosteroid sprays for at least one year and 70 healthy children aged 3-12 visiting the clinic or office of pediatricians in 2017-2018 were selected as the sample based on convenient sampling method. Clinical examination for the diagnosis of dental caries was conducted using the decayed-missing-filled teeth (DMFT) index. The obtained data were statistically analyzed in SPSS-18. Results: The mean score of DMF index, in each of the subscales of decayed teeth (D/d), missing teeth (M/m), and filled teeth (F/f), was higher in asthmatic children compared to healthy children (p<0.05). Conclusion:The study findings suggest that it is necessary to pay a special attention to prevention programs including increasing the awareness of parents and training in strategies for the reduction of complications of drugs and providing organized dental care and services, especially for asthmatic children who are at greater risk of dental caries.
