“…According to our knowledge, there needs to be a clear, Comprehensive agreement on the role of PVDD with DCs in children, and conflicting results have been reported. A systematic review study has shown that deficiency of micronutrients and vitamins, especially vitamin D, is associated with oral health, tooth enamel defects, and tooth erosion in children [ 39 , 40 ]. However, based on our knowledge, a comprehensive meta-analysis study has not investigated the relationship of prenatal vitamin D level with the risk of DCs in children based on various factors, including prenatal vitamin D level, gestational age, and children’s age.…”

Prenatal vitamin D (PVD) is a vital micronutrient for dental caries (DCs). The association between prenatal vitamin D deficiencies (PVDD) and DCs in children has been conflicting in different reports. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between PVDD and DCs in children for the first time. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, Embase, and Scholar databases to find relevant studies based on mesh terms from 2000 to October 2023. This study was conducted based on the 2020 version of the PRISMA checklist. Cochran’s Q and I2 tests were used to evaluate heterogeneity between studies. Egger’s test was used to evaluate publication bias. The effect size of the association between PVDD and DCs was reported by the odds ratio (OR) at the 95% confidence interval (95% CI).Twelve studies, including 11,021 participants, were reviewed. The pooled prevalence of PVDD was estimated at 4353 (32%). The prevalence of DCs in children of mothers with and without PVDD was 44% and 25%, respectively. PVDD was significantly associated with an increased risk of DCs in children (OR: 1.35, 95% CI (1.22, 1.47), I2 = 86.6%). The association of DCs with PVDD was different based on gestational age groups, children’s age groups, and vitamin D levels. This meta-analysis showed PVDD can be associated with an increased risk of DCs in children, especially in mothers with prenatal vitamin D levels ≤ 35 nmol/L. Adequate vitamin D levels throughout pregnancy can help prevent DCs in children.

BackgroundDental caries and extrinsic black tooth stain (EBS) are prevalent among children, with current evidence suggesting a negative correlation between them. It is unclear whether the factors contributing to developing or preventing dental caries and EBS are connected or aligned.AimTo investigate the prevalence and associated factors of caries and EBS among children with primary, mixed and permanent dentitions.DesignThis was designed as a cross‐sectional study. Probability proportionate to size sampling and simple random sampling methods were used to recruit children aged 5, 9 and 12. Three calibrated paediatric dentists conducted intra‐oral examinations. Nutritional supplements, oral health–related behaviours and family background were collected. Bivariate analysis, negative binomial and binary logistic regression were performed.ResultsCaries and EBS prevalence were 83.7% and 4.7%, respectively. A decreasing trend in caries and an increasing trend in EBS prevalence were observed across three dentitions. Caries were associated with EBS, oral hygiene, vitamin intake, gender, food‐pocketing habits, toothbrushing duration, dental attendance and socioeconomic status. EBS was more likely to occur in caries‐free children (OR = 4.42, 95% CI 2.97,6.58, p < 0.001) and children without vitamin consumption (OR = 1.59, 95% CI 1.07, 2.36, p = 0.021).ConclusionThe occurrence of caries and EBS varied across different dentition stages. Their risk and protective factors were not significantly aligned.

Background/Objectives: Tooth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that improves the color of natural teeth, making them whiter and brighter; this review aimed to evaluate the greater effectiveness of in-office, at-home, and combined bleaching with hydrogen or carbamide peroxide, also in relation to possible relapses and side effects (tooth sensitivity). Methods: A literature search has been carried out through electronic databases, PubMed/MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library, focused on the use of the effectiveness of in-office, at-home, and combined dental bleaching. This review has been registered on PROSPERO (ID613248). Results: 30 articles have been included. Most of the studies did not find any more effective treatment than the proposed treatments; all types of bleaching have been shown to be effective in changing color; in the studies that have compared in-office and at-home bleaching, there was a lower recurrence of treatment with the use of the at-home trays with carbamide peroxide gel. There were no clear positions regarding tooth sensitivity, which would appear to be higher in professional in-office and combined dental bleaching. Conclusions: Bleaching is an effective treatment for the change of color of the tooth regardless of the type used (concentrations, type of gel, and duration of sessions), although, at home, it would seem to be more effective over time. It is, however, a clinical feature that may give a risk of tooth sensitivity after treatment.
