Early Childhood Caries in Obese Children: The Status and Associated Factors in the Suburban Areas in Hanoi, Vietnam

Abstract: Obesity and early childhood caries are two prominent health problems affecting the majority of children worldwide. Thus, early childhood caries in obese children must be studied. This study was conducted to investigate the status of early childhood caries in obese children in Hanoi, Vietnam, and its associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 234 obese children, 234 normal children (non-obese) aged 36 to 71 months, and their mothers at some kindergartens in Hanoi. Study subjects were randomly … Show more

“…Carious tooth structures display fluorescence proportional to the extent of decay present [Hung et al, 2021]. In the existing literature, values ≤ 10 indicate no caries [Rahardjo et al, 2015].…”

“…Obese and normal-weight children aged from 36 to 71 months were selected [ 9 ]. Teeth were diagnosed as ECC according to the ICCMS classification [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]: First or distinct visual changes in enamel seen as a white spot lesion and/or brown carious discoloration, not consistent with the clinical appearance of sound enamel and which show no evidence of surface breakdown or underlying dentine shadowing.…”

“…However, tooth decay and obesity are both multi-factor diseases, and their association is quite complex [ 8 ]. Factors affecting tooth decay in obese children such as eating habits and oral hygiene habits have been proven [ 9 , 10 ]. Thus, there is a hypothesis that there is a difference in ECC treatment efficacy between obese and non-obese children after the treatment time and the re-examination time.…”

“…These articles implied that there was no linear correlation and significant relationship between BMI and S-ECC [10,37], that obesity was not significantly associated with caries, [19,38] and that there were no significant differences of caries index between the normal and obese groups. [39] On top of these, malnutrition was also found in both groups, and there were no significant differences of nutritional status between the S-ECC and normal groups. [40] These six articles have some similarities: Having some confounding factors regarding socioeconomic status and having a small or limited number of samples.…”
