Delayed tooth eruption and higher enamel hypoplasia rates were observed in malnourished and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) children. Breast-feeding offered protection against enamel hypoplasia in infants.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Nutritional Science
  • Child Health

Background:

  • Childhood malnutrition and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) can impact growth and development.
  • Dental development, including tooth eruption and enamel formation, is sensitive to nutritional status.
  • Understanding these impacts is crucial for early identification and intervention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between nutritional status (well-nourished, malnourished, IUGR) and dental development in children.
  • To assess the prevalence of delayed tooth eruption and enamel hypoplasia in different nutritional groups.
  • To determine the protective effect of breast-feeding against enamel hypoplasia.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 280 children, categorized as well-nourished, malnourished, or with IUGR.

  • Clinical examination to assess dental eruption patterns.
  • Evaluation for the presence and prevalence of enamel hypoplasia.

    • Main Results:

    • Delayed tooth eruption was evident in both malnourished and IUGR children.
    • Enamel hypoplasia prevalence was 20% in well-nourished children, significantly higher in females aged 1-2 years.
    • A higher prevalence of enamel hypoplasia (36.6%) was observed in malnourished subjects; breast-feeding showed a protective effect.

    Conclusions:

    • Nutritional status significantly influences dental development, with malnutrition and IUGR leading to delayed eruption.
    • Enamel hypoplasia is more prevalent in malnourished children, with specific gender and age group variations in well-nourished children.
    • Breast-feeding is a key protective factor against enamel hypoplasia, highlighting its importance in early childhood.
