Summary
This study found a higher prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in pediatric patients with dental diseases. These findings suggest a potential link between oral health and the development of AD in children.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Dermatology
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin condition linked to epidermal dysfunction in children.
- The study investigated the potential association between AD and dental conditions in pediatric patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the correlation between atopic dermatitis and dental diseases in children.
- To assess the prevalence of AD in a pediatric dentistry patient cohort.
Main Methods:
- An observational study included 300 children aged 2-17 years.
- Data collected included socio-demographics, clinical/dermatological exams, and atopy history.
- The study was conducted over 6 months (January-June 2013).
Main Results:
- 30% (90/300) of patients had atopic dermatitis.
- Among those with AD, high rates of spoil habits (76.6%), caries (54%), malocclusion (64.4%), and dental abnormalities (14.4%) were observed.
Conclusions:
- A higher prevalence of atopic dermatitis was found in pediatric dentistry patients.
- Dental diseases may play a role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

960
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...
