“…Contradictorily, Korea and Hong Kong had very high HDI scores, but their caries prevalence was high (>50%) compared with their counterparts in Europe. Furthermore, 11 studies in Asia reported mean dmft scores equivalent to or higher than 3 . It is noteworthy that the HDI can indicate only the development level of the entire country, and that the socioeconomic status of an individual city or district cannot be reflected in this index, which is a limitation of the present review.…”

The aim of the present review was to describe the updated prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) among 5‐year‐old children globally. Two independent reviewers performed a systematic literature search to identify English publications from January 2013 to December 2017 using MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus. Search MeSH key words were “dental caries” and “child, preschool”. The inclusion criteria were epidemiological surveys reporting the caries status of 5‐year‐old children with the decayed, missing, and filled primary teeth (dmft) index. The quality of the publications was evaluated with the modified Newcastle‐Ottawa Scale. Among the 2410 identified publications, 37 articles of moderate or good quality were included. Twenty of the included studies were conducted in Asia (China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Nepal, and Thailand), seven in Europe (Greece, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy), six in South America (Brazil), two in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and Turkey), one in Oceania (Australia), and one in Africa (Sudan). The prevalence of ECC ranged from 23% to 90%, and most of them (26/37) were higher than 50%. The mean dmft score varied from 0.9 to 7.5. Based on the included studies published in the recent 5 years, there is a wide variation of ECC prevalence across countries, and ECC remains prevalent in most countries worldwide.

“…Studies on risk factors for ECC in different populations have reported various results, including an association between ECC and prolonged breast-feeding [17] and inappropriate feeding practices in very young children [18]. The presence of cariogenic organisms [19], frequency of beverage and food consumption [9, 18, 20], oral hygiene status [21, 22], parental education level, family income [18, 19], caregivers’ oral health knowledge [9, 22, 23], maternal anxiety [24], and child temperament [25] have all been shown to play roles in ECC.…”

Risk determinants associated with early childhood caries in Uygur children: a preschool-based cross-sectional study

et al. 2014

BackgroundThe prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) varies with geographical region and population. The Uygur people, one of 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities in China, have a population of 10,069,346. We performed a preschool-based cross-sectional study of 670 Uygur children from the southern region of Xinjiang, China, to investigate the prevalence and severity of ECC and to identify factors related to the dental health condition of this population.MethodsThe study population of children ranging in age from 3 to 5 years was invited using a three-stage stratified sampling in Kashgar, the westernmost city in China. The “dmft” index was used to assess dental caries. The diagnosis of ECC or severe ECC was based on the oral health diagnostic criteria defined by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. A questionnaire was completed by the children’s caregivers. The survey included questions concerning the children’s sociodemographic background; feeding and eating habits, particularly frequency of sweet beverage and food consumption; dental hygiene-related behaviors; the general oral health knowledge of caregivers; and the dental healthcare experience of caregivers and their children.ResultsA total of 670 Uygur children underwent complete dental caries examination. Most of the children (74.2%) had ECC, with a mean dmft ± SD of 3.95 ± 3.84. The prevalence of severe ECC was 40.1% (N =269), with a mean dmft of 7.72 ± 3.14. More than 99% of caries were untreated. Statistically significant correlations were found between higher ECC prevalence and increased age and lower socioeconomic background, while greater dental health knowledge of the caregiver and positive oral hygiene behaviors were found to be protective. Our findings confirm the multi-factorial etiology of ECC.ConclusionsThe prevalence of ECC among preschool-aged Uygur children in Kashgar was high, particularly among those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Caries prevalence was associated with oral hygiene behaviors of children and the general oral health knowledge of caregivers. These factors could be modified through public health strategies, including effective publicity concerning general dental health and practical health advice.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/1472-6831-14-136) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Ultra-processed food consumption and dental caries in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study summarized the association between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and dental caries in children and adolescents through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The search of PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus databases using the “PECOS” strategy retrieved 1,462 eligible articles. Only studies with humans aged ≤ 19 years old; that assessed groups of any UPF or specific UPF items; that measured dental caries as the decayed, filled, and missing surfaces or teeth indexes, based on the World Health Organization criteria; cross-sectional, case-control, cohort and all types of interventions that examined the adjusted association between UPF consumption and dental caries were included. All studies received qualitative evaluation. Meta-analysis using random-effects models combined multivariable-adjusted odd ratio (OR) for case-control and cross-sectional studies and risk ratio (RR) for longitudinal studies of the highest versus lowest category of UPF consumption. Forty-two studies were included in the qualitative synthesis and 27 in the meta-analysis. The pooled RR was 1.71 (95% CI 1.31-2.24), and the pooled OR was 1.55 (95% CI 1.37-1.75). The highest OR was found among participants who had dental caries prevalence >70% (OR=3.67, 95% CI 2.16; 6.23). Better evidence quality was found among cohort studies that evaluated children <6 years old. The findings suggest that higher UPF consumption is associated with greater dental caries in children and adolescents. Public health efforts to reduce UPF consumption are needed to improve the oral health of children and adolescents.

Regular dental checkup and snack–soda drink consumption of preschool children are associated with early childhood caries in Korean caregiver/preschool children dyads

Abstract: This study demonstrates that the prevalence of ECC was high among Korean children. Early intervention programs for preschool children's oral health behavior should be developed based on the risk factors identified in this study.
