Caries experience in disabled pre-school children.

K Storhaug

    Acta Odontologica Scandinavica
    |August 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Disabled preschoolers with frequent carbohydrate intake and prolonged bottle use had higher caries experience. Congenital heart disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis were linked to significantly worse dental health outcomes in children.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Dental caries is a prevalent issue in preschool children.
    • Disability can influence oral health status and access to care.
    • Understanding risk factors for caries in disabled children is crucial for targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between background variables and dental caries experience in disabled preschool children.
    • To identify specific risk factors associated with higher caries prevalence in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional study involving 436 disabled preschool children with 10 different disabling conditions.
    • Parental interviews on habits and problems relevant to dental health.
    • Clinical examination and Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (dmft) score registration.
    • Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA) to analyze associations between variables and dmft.

    Main Results:

    • The number of daily carbohydrate intakes, duration of nursing bottle use, family income, and specific diagnoses were strongly associated with dmft scores.
    • Children diagnosed with congenital heart disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis exhibited significantly higher adjusted dmft scores.
    • The prevalence of caries experience in the surveyed group exceeded that of comparable Norwegian children.

    Conclusions:

    • Dietary habits (carbohydrate intake) and early life habits (nursing bottle use) are significant determinants of caries experience in disabled preschoolers.
    • Certain medical conditions, including congenital heart disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis, are associated with increased caries risk.
    • Targeted oral health promotion strategies are needed for disabled preschool children, considering their specific medical and socioeconomic backgrounds.
