“…Therefore, common agreement based on previous results is difficult to obtain. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Previously, the association between the use of asthma drugs and the risk of MIH was examined in the above-mentioned 647 Danish children being 6-8 years of age. 18 We used register-based information on the use of asthma drugs in order to eliminate recall bias, and we found an increased, but not significant, risk of MIH with PEB in children with prescriptions of asthma drugs between the age of 0 and 3 years of age (OR 2.42; 95% CI: 0.70-7.43).…”

Demarcated opacities are often seen in first permanent molars and frequently associated with affected incisors. When the enamel hypomineralization is present in one or more first permanent molars, the condition is classified as molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH). 1-5 The prevalence of MIH is examined in several studies worldwide, and prevalence between 2.4% and 44% have been reported. 6 The studies were, however, carried out under un-standardized examination settings, including, for example, different classification systems, different light sources, and tooth drying protocols. Altogether, this might possibly explain the wide variation. A previous population-based study from Denmark among 647 6-to 8-year-old children with fully erupted first permanent molars showed that 37.3% (95% CI: 33.6%-41.0%) had

“…In asthmatic patients, the prevalence of DDE was 76.9%, compared to only 26.9% in the control group. 23 In the study by Guergolette et al, 24 89.7% of asthmatic patients had DDE compared to 38.2% in the control group, and it was then concluded that pediatric patients with asthma are at a greater risk for DDE, thus requiring priority dental care. Compared to asthmatic patients, the present study presented a lower prevalence of DDE.…”

Enamel defects and tooth eruption disturbances in children with sickle cell anemia

et al. 2018

Sickle cell anemia, a genetic disease caused by a mutation in the beta-globin gene, can present oral manifestations such as delayed tooth eruption and hypomineralized enamel and dentin. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence and severity of developmental defects of enamel (DDE) and delayed tooth eruption in children with sickle cell anemia. The sample comprised 56 male and female children with sickle cell anemia aged 6 to 12 years and treated at the Hematology and Hemotherapy Center of Pernambuco, Brazil. The data were collected according to the WHO criteria for DDE and tooth eruption. The prevalence of DDE was 58.2% and increased with age, affecting 43.8% of children aged 6 to 8 years and 66.7% of those aged 10 to 12 years (p>0.05; Pearson's chi-square test). There was no significant association between DDE and sex; the most prevalent type of DDE was diffuse opacity (6.2%). Tooth eruption was delayed in 18 children (32.1%). The delay increased with age and was detected in 11.8% of children aged 6 to 8 years, in 20.0% of those aged 8 to 10 years and in 54.2% of those aged 10 to 12 years (p<0.05; Pearson's chi-square test). Delayed tooth eruption was higher in males (36.7%, p>0.05). The prevalence of DDE was high, increased with age and was similar between sexes, while delayed eruption was higher in males and showed a significant association with age.

“…11 It has been demonstrated that asthmatic children consume sugary drinks more often than non-asthmatic children. 12,13 Antiasthmatic medications may also decrease the pH of plaque and saliva, which would make conditions more favorable for caries development. It has also been reported that some inhalers may contain fermentable carbohydrate, such as lactose monohydrate and oral medications in syrup form may contain sugars, this can increase the risk of dental caries.…”

“…3 After dental caries, asthma appears to be the most prevalent chronic childhood disease, considered to be a serious global health problem. 4,5 According to global initiative for asthma (GINA) 2008, asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. The chronic inflammation is associated with airway hyperresponsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing, particularly at night or in the early morning.…”

Aims and objectives:The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of dental caries in asthmatic children of age group 5 to 16 years and to evaluate and compare the dental caries status among asthmatic and asthma-free children. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional study was done on 200 children aged 5 to 16 years. The participants were divided into two groups. The study group included 100 asthmatic children/adolescent diagnosed with asthma attended the local hospitals. Asthma-free group composed of 100 asthma-free children⁄adolescents recruited in two public schools. The details on asthma severity were obtained from patient's records, by consulting the pediatrician treating these children or by interviewing their parents/caregivers. Dental caries status was assessed using DMFT and dmft indices. Chi-square and independent Student's t-test used for statistical analysis of data. Results:The prevalence of dental caries in the asthmatic children, for permanent dentition was 28% and primary teeth caries experience was 67% and the result was statistically significant. Asthmatic children had a higher mean DMFT (0.54 ± 0.82)/dmft (2.74 ± 2.59) score. There was statistically significant difference existed for DMFT among five drug forms (chi-square = 60.437; p-value = 0.001). No significant differences were encountered in anti-asthmatic drugs and DMFT/dmft. Conclusion:There is a high prevalence of dental caries in both permanent and deciduous teeth in asthmatic children. Children given beta 2 agonists, inhaler form of antiasthmatic medication are at a higher risk of developing caries in their teeth. Physicians and dentists should recommend preventive measures against caries for children with asthma.

Abstract: Pediatric asthma patients with severe, early onset asthma are at increased risk of dental enamel defects and therefore require priority dental care.
