“…As lesões de mancha branca ativas foram significativamente mais prevalentes na maxila do que na mandíbula e os dentes mais afetados foram os anteriores superiores e primeiros molares inferiores, corroborando com os resultados de Lima et al (2016) Um fato interessante a ser considerado é que a maior parte das crianças com experiência e atividade de cárie eram maiores de 24 meses, corroborando o aumento da experiência de cárie com o aumento da idade (Lima et al, 2016;Wyne et al, 2017).…”

Microcefalia é uma malformação congênita na qual o bebê apresenta um perímetro cefálico inferior a 2 desvios-padrão da média para idade gestacional e sexo. É um dos sinais clínicos mais evidentes da Síndrome congênita do Zika Vírus e poucos estudos na área odontológica foram desenvolvidos com essa população. Objetivo: Avaliar as condições bucais de crianças com microcefalia quanto a higiene bucal, experiência, severidade e atividade de cárie. Método: Tratou-se de estudo transversal com amostra de 71 crianças portadoras de microcefalia de Teresina-PI. Foram excluídos bebês que não apresentavam dentes. Os dados foram coletados através da aplicação de questionário socioeconômico e demográfico e realização de exame clínico por um examinador previamente treinado e calibrado. No exame clínico foi avaliada a higiene bucal (Índices O'Leary e Sangramento Gengival); a experiência e severidade da cárie dentária (Índice CAST) e a atividade de cárie (Índice Nyvad). Foi realizada análise descritiva e o teste de associação Exato de Fisher (p<0.05). Resultados: A idade das crianças variou de 5 a 59 meses, com 71,8% entre 24 e 36 meses. A maioria tinha um índice O'Leary deficiente (84,5%) e 73,2% tinham gengivite. 78,9% das crianças foram classificadas como saudáveis segundo o CAST. O estado de pré-morbidade foi detectado em 19,7%, e apenas uma criança apresentou estado de morbidade. Conclusões: A população apresentou baixa prevalência de cárie e altos níveis de placa e sangramento gengival, sendo importante a implantação de um programa preventivo-educativo.

“…Out of the 31 studies, 22 were cohort studies , and 9 were case-control studies [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. Among the cohort studies, six were nested studies, one was nested within a cross-sectional study [36], and the remaining five were nested in randomised controlled trials [38,[40][41][42]51].…”

Early childhood caries (ECC) is a growing public health concern worldwide. Although numerous systematic reviews have been published regarding the association between breastfeeding and early childhood caries (ECC), the results remain inconclusive and equivocal. This systematic review synthesises the evidence on the association between breastfeeding and ECC. Five electronic databases and backward citation chasing were performed from inception until May 2023. A total of 31 studies (22 cohort studies and 9 case-control studies) were included in this review. The meta-analysis of the case-control studies showed statistically significant fewer dental caries in children who were breastfed for < 6 months compared to those who were breastfed for ≥6 months (OR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.41–0.67, p < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference in dental caries between children who were breastfed for <12 months and those who were breastfed for ≥12 months (RR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.50–0.86, p < 0.002). Similarly, there was a statistically significant difference in dental caries in children who were breastfed for < 18 months compared to those who were breastfed for ≥18 months (RR = 0.41, 95% CI 0.18–0.92, p = 0.030). Nocturnal breastfeeding increases the risk of ECC compared with no nocturnal breastfeeding (RR = 2.35, 95% CI 1.42–3.89, p < 0.001). The findings suggest breastfeeding for more than 12 months and nocturnal breastfeeding increase the risk of ECC.

Objective To identify the main factors associated with early childhood caries by analyzing the risk factors of early childhood caries, thus providing a reference for developing prevention programs to reduce the risk of early childhood caries. Methods We selected a total of 221 children aged 3–4 years from two kindergartens in Tongzhou District, Beijing for this study. We conducted oral examination and the caries activity test (Cariostat) on children and their parents / primary caregivers, and the parents / primary caregivers additionally answered a questionnaire survey. Based on the results, we comprehensively evaluated the caries status of children and statistically analyzed the caries-related factors to identify the relevant risk factors. Results The mean age of children in the study children was 40.08 ± 2.65 months, with a caries prevalence rate of 54.97% and a mean caries value of 4.61. Early childhood caries was correlated with the intake frequency of sugary foods, intake of sugary foods before bedtime, frequency of tooth brushing, oral health knowledge of parents, caries susceptibility, and age of starting to brush teeth. Logistic regression analysis results showed that the intake frequency of sugary foods, oral health knowledge of parents, and caries susceptibility were the factors influencing early childhood caries, especially the intake frequency of sugary foods. Conclusion The intake frequency of sugary foods, intake of sugary foods before bedtime, frequency of brushing teeth, oral health knowledge of parents, caries susceptibility, and age of starting to brush teeth were associated with early childhood caries. Among these, the intake frequency of sugary foods, oral health knowledge of parents, and caries susceptibility, especially the intake frequency of sugary foods, were the influencing factors.
