“…The meta-analysis study by Yousefi et al (2020) included 29 studies and showed that the number of Streptococcus mutans bacteria changes during pregnancy and positively affects caries in pregnant women (45). However, in the present study, it was shown that the very high and high bacterial colony numbers in the pregnant mouth are more than non-the pregnant mouth, but the number of bacterial colonies in most women is very low.…”

Background People of all age and gender groups are at risk of dental diseases; however, some groups, such as pregnant women, are more vulnerable than others due to their specific physiological situations. The protection of maternal and fetal is critical. Therefore, the present study intended to investigate the relationship between the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and the number of pregnancies. Methods The present cross-sectional study was performed using the Tabari Cohort Study (T.C.S.) data. Data of 5,496 women enrolled in the T.C.S. were included in the study. After obtaining the approval of the Ethics Committee, the related data on the variables of age, age at the first pregnancy, number of pregnancies, total number of teeth at the time of examination, number of DMFT, employment status, socioeconomic status, educational level, residence location, body mass index, and the status of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases were extracted. Finally, data analysis was performed in the STATA software (version 14). Results The mean DMFT index in women with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and more than six pregnancies were obtained at 12.74 ± 7.11, 13.09 ± 7.06, 14.80 ± 7.81, 17.07 ± 8.11, 19.82 ± 9.02, 22.89 ± 8.98, and 26.17 ± 8.01, respectively (P < 0.001). Using the multivariate linear regression and adjusting the effect of potential confounding variables, it was found that the DMFT index increased by 34% for each unit increase in the number of pregnancies (β = 0.34, P < 0.001). Conclusions According to our results, there was a significant relationship between the DMFT index and the number of pregnancies. The DMFT index was increased with an increased number of pregnancies. Therefore, oral healthcare promotion should receive special attention in healthcare planning and related policies by raising awareness and providing easy access to dental services for women of childbearing age, especially pregnant women.

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is an important risk factor for some chronic disease. Some reports suggested that there is an interrelationship between lipids and cholecalciferol. Objectives: This meta-analysis was conducted to summarize the existing evidence of randomized controlled trial (RCTs) to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on lipid profiles in children and adolescents. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis data base such as Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Science Direct, Magiran, SID were searched for studies prior up to December 21st, 2019. This study was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. I-square was used to measure the existing heterogeneity through included articles. Considering heterogeneity among articles, random-effect models were applied to pool standardized mean differences (SMD) as overall effect size. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The analyses were conducted by STATA v 14.0. Study eligibility criteria included Children and adolescents (<18 years) and evaluated the association between vitamin D and lipid profile. Results: A total of 13 trials (number of participant=173) were included in the current meta-analysis. The SMD is 0.23, the vitamin D supplementation is associated with significant slight increase in high-density lipoproteins (HDL) levels in children and adolescent (SMD 0.23; 95% CI, 0.02, 0.45, P= 0.036; I2= 57.7%, Egger’s P=0.554). We found no significant association between vitamin D supplementation and LDL-cholesterol levels (SMD -0.10; 95% CI, − 0.29, 0.09, P = 0.310 ; I2 = 0.0%, Egger’s P=0.689), Total cholesterol levels (SMD –0.01; 95% CI, − 0.20, 0.18, P = 0.926 ; I2 = 0.0%, Egger’s P=0.005) and triglycerides levels (SMD -0.10; 95% CI, − 0.22, 0.02, P = 0.093 ; I2 = 0.0%, Egger’s P=0.160). Conclusions and implications: vitamin D could marginally increase HDL level, without any significant effect on LDL-C, TG, and TC levels.
