“…Thus, it is questionable whether dental neglect was a signifier or an outcome of maltreatment. To this end, several papers identified the need for further theoretical and empirical inquiry to better understand the intersection between child maltreatment and poor dental health and to provide a more robust basis for clinical diagnosis (e.g., Bhatia et al, 2014; Lorber et al, 2017).…”

Globally, the oral health needs of children who have, or are suspected of having, experienced abuse or neglect has become a focus of concern. It is thus valuable and timely to map the contemporary nature of the research landscape in this expanding field. This review reports the findings of a scoping review of the international empirical literature. The aim was to explore the relationship between child maltreatment and oral health and how this complex issue is addressed in contemporary dental, health and social care practice. The review identified 68 papers, analysis of which identified three themes: 1) There is a relationship between poor oral health and child maltreatment that is well-evidenced but conceptually underdeveloped 2) There are discrepancies between the knowledge of members of the dental team about child maltreatment and their confidence and aptitude to identify and report child protection concerns 3) There are areas of local-level policy and practice development that seek to improve working relationships between dentists and health and social care practitioners; however, there is widespread evidence that this group of vulnerable children continue to 'slip through' the gaps of different professional communication systems and policy areas. To orientate critical discussion and planning for future research and practice, we present the Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice and Research Recommendations framework (PAGER). The review's findings are likely to be of interest and relevance to researchers, practitioners and policy makers working across dentistry, health and social work.

“…Research supports the systematic review of factors affecting child dental caries, including the influence of social factors such as the family environment (Lorber et al 2017). From the population health literature, Fisher-Owens et al (FisherOwens et al 2007) identified five key determinants of health: genetic and biological factors, the social environment, physical environment, health behaviors, and dental and medical care.…”

Aim The aim of this study was to examine the oral health-related behaviors in mothers and their children and the prevalence of dental caries in both. Subject and methods A sample of 2536 children and their mothers was selected from the Fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Variables were analyzed using multiple regression to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries among children and mothers, demographic socioeconomic status, and oral health-related behaviors.Results The average age of the mothers was 40.28 years and that of the children was 10.88 years. Mean DT scores were 0.67 for mothers and 0.29 for children. Mean DMFT scores were 6.63 for mothers and 1.76 for children. The higher the mother's number of decayed, missing, or filled permanent teeth (DMFT score, B = 0.076, P < 0.001) and number of decayed teeth (DT score, B = 0.032, P = 0.038) in their permanent dentition, the higher the children's DMFT score was for their permanent dentition. Children from mothers with low household income levels (B = 0.159, P = 0.043), with dental pain (B = 0.132, P = 0.032), and not using a dental mouth rinse (B = 0.135, P = 0.007) presented with higher DT scores. Children from mothers with low self-perceived oral health status (B = 0.113, P < 0.001), lower usage of dental floss (B = 0.100, P = 0.012), a lower ratio of protein intake to total energy (B = −0.017, P = 0.014), and lower ratio of fat intake (B = −0.009, P = 0.047) showed lower self-perceived oral health status. Conclusion The better the oral health status of the mother, the better the oral health status of the child was. An effective oral health and education program for mothers should be developed to promote an improved oral health status of their children.

“…However, this is the standard method used to obtain information on IPV 62 . We also only extracted data on IPV and women though there is evidence suggestive that both males and females may be victims of IPV 63,64 ; and IPV affecting men may be associated with the risk of ECC 26 . Also, this is a crosssectional study.…”

“…Lorber et al 25 studied children's exposure to domestic violence and the risk for ECC and found no significant relationship between them though a positive trend was observed. However, in households where women were aggressive towards men, the risk for ECC was higher due to high exposure to cariogenic diets 26 .…”

An ecological study on the association between early childhood caries and intimate partner violence in 20 low- and middle-income countries: 2007-2017

Background: Women are the worst affected by intimate partner violence (IPV), and this impacts negatively on the health of the children they care for. This study aimed to determine the relationship between IPV and the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) in 3-5-year-olds. Methods: This was an ecological study using IPV (physical, sexual, emotional) data extracted from the Demographic Health Survey of 20 low- and middle-income countries and ECC data for 3-5-year-olds of the same countries for the period 2007-2017. Linear regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between the percentage of 3-5-year-olds with ECC (outcome variable) and IPV indicators (physical, sexual, emotional). The model was adjusted for the country’s gross national income and the percentage of women with secondary or higher education. Partial eta squared (ηp2), regression coefficients, confidence intervals and p-values were calculated. Results: Data on ECC in 3-5-year-olds and IPV were available for six low-income-countries, 10 lower-middle-income-countries and four upper-middle-income-countries. The most prevalent form of IPV was physical violence (10.09%). The Democratic Republic of Congo had the highest prevalence of physical violence (45.8%), sexual violence (25.4%), and ECC (80.0%). The strongest association was between the prevalence of ECC and emotional violence (ηp2=0.01), followed by physical violence (ηp2=0.005), and sexual violence (ηp2=0.003). For every 1% higher prevalence of emotional violence, there was 0.28% higher prevalence of ECC, and for every 1% higher percentage of physical violence, there was 0.21% higher prevalence of ECC. On the contrary, for every 1% higher prevalence of sexual violence, there was 0.35% lower prevalence of ECC prevalence. Conclusions: The association between IPV and the prevalence of ECC in 3-5-year-olds is minor, with the strongest direct association effect being with emotional violence; and there was an inverse association between sexual violence and the prevalence of ECC. These findings need to be studied further.
