Growth stunting is when children tend to be shorter than their peers through the World Health Organization child growth standard measurement. The condition may affect the development of the brain and other parts of the body, including the oral cavity, which manifests in oral hygiene and overall oral health. This systematic approach literature study aimed to evaluate the correlation between growth stunting and oral health in children. This study was conducted by using a literature review method with a systematic approach by searching for articles related to research topics on PubMed and Google Scholar. The search was adjusted to the inclusion category, which is research that discusses malnutrition and oral health published between 2010 and 2020—research conducted on boys and girls—from birth to 18 years. The exclusion categories used were articles that did not discuss growth stunting and oral health, and grey literature was excluded. The selection of articles was carried out by using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach and resulted in 10 selected articles with details as follows: the correlation between growth stunting and oral health in three articles. A high plaque index in growth stunting children was found in two articles, and a decrease in saliva composition in growth stunting children was also found in two articles. Four articles showed a relationship between growth stunting and salivary flow rate. Lastly, one article showed the relationship between growth stunting and the incidence of dental caries. Despite the limitation of the review, the correlation between growth stunting and overall oral health in children can be seen through the oral hygiene index as moderate to low, high plaque index, decreased salivary flow rate, salivary composition, and dental caries in children with growth stunting.

“…5 Several studies were conducted in Iraq investigating the nutritional status in relation to various variable. [6][7][8][9][10] Few were found that investigated the teeth eruption status. In 2008, Gatta et al clarified that tooth emergence is a process of growth and therefore is related with other body processes, especially child's weight and height.…”

Background/Aim: The timing of a tooth's eruption can be affected by a variety of factors. The nutritional status has an impact on the development of a child's body. The purpose of the study was to analyse the number of children aged 6 to 9 in an Iraqi Arab population who had erupted permanent first molars and to examine how nutritional status affected the timing and level of emergence. Methods: A total of 330 boys and girls, in first grade elementary school, made up the sample. First molars that had erupted were noted, along with the level of the eruption. Each child's nutritional status was evaluated by recording their height and weight and body mass index (BMI) value was compared to the 2007 WHO reference. Results: Girls had higher number of erupted molars than boys did and a correlation between the number of erupted teeth and nutritional condition existed, with a higher mean number of erupted molars in obese children. Conclusion: BMI had an impact on the timing of the eruption of permanent first molars, a result that was primarily observed in females.

Background: Oral health as a part of general health is affected by various, factors including oral hygiene, smoking, age, nutritional status, and socioeconomic status. This study aims to measure the impact of nutritional status on the prevalence and severity of some oral health variables (dental caries and gingival health conditions) to develop plans for future reduction and prevention of both diseases. Materials and methods: The sample included a total of 500 male students aged 15 years old who were randomly selected from secondary schools in Karbala City, Iraq. Dental caries, and gingival health condition were recorded. Anthropometric measurements include measurement of weight and height to determine the BMI =Body weight / (height)2 = BMI kg/m2 and using the CDC growth chart to determine the nutritional status. Data analysis were done by using one-way analysis of variance and Games-Howell post hoc test. Results: The prevalence of dental caries was (95.60%). Caries (DS) and missing teeth (MS) are more prevalent in the underweight group, whereas filling (FS) is more prevalent in the normal-weight group. Caries-free percentages were higher in the group of risk of overweight (6.82%) compared with other nutritional groups. Meanwhile, the prevalence of gingivitis among the students was 100%, all students have had the moderate type of gingivitis (1.1–2). The highest mean of gingivitis belonged to the normal weight group (1.923) and there was a significant difference observed. Conclusion: In this study, dental caries experience was not significantly affected by nutritional status. Meanwhile, nutritional status had a significant impact on the gingival health condition which attracted attention to the importance of healthy nutrition concerning oral health and to develop of a good nutritional school program.
