Summary
This review found insufficient evidence to link allergic rhinitis (AR) with dental caries. Further research is needed to confirm any association between AR and tooth decay.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology and Dentistry
- Public Health
Background:
- Dental caries is a prevalent global chronic disease.
- A potential bidirectional relationship exists between allergic rhinitis (AR) and oral diseases.
Approach:
- Systematic literature review of studies assessing the rhinitis-caries relationship in adults and children.
- Data sources included PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and SciELO.
Key Points:
- Eight studies (87,612 participants) were included; six focused on children.
- Only three studies indicated an association between AR and dental caries.
- Methodological limitations included cross-sectional designs and unclear reporting of criteria.
Conclusions:
- Current evidence is insufficient to confirm or deny a link between AR and dental caries.
- Consideration of otolaryngologist examinations for patients with recurrent caries and dentist examinations for AR patients is suggested.
- These cross-specialty examinations pose no risk to patients.

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...

Lower respiratory tract disorders present challenges that often require skilled and nuanced approaches for effective management. Common ailments, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have prompted the development of intricate treatment strategies involving bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs, each tailored to ease breathing and revitalize the lungs.

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
