Dietary habits and oral health of children in deciduous, early and late mixed dentition

Year 2012, Volume: 2 Issue: 3, 113 - 118, 30.01.2014

Abstract

Objective: Dental caries and periodontal diseases have negative effects on both oral and general health. The aim of this study was to evaluate dietary habits, caries ratio and periodontal status of children in deciduous, early and late mixed dentition.

Methods: Dental and periodontal status of 129 children (73 girls, 56 boys, mean age 7.9±2.4) were examined and evaluated. Caries ratio including decayed, missing, filled teeth of the primary (df-t) and permanent dentition (DMF-T), plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) were determined. Demographic data, nutrition and brushing habits were collected via a questionnaire. In addition, body mass index (BMI) was calculated. 

Results: The ratio of children having twice-four times a day snacks in-between-meals was found to be 61%. While 60% of children consumed sugar sweetened beverages once a day and 60% of children had a cariogenic nutrition pattern, only 6% of children brushed their teeth 3 times per day. In age groups of 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12, mean numbers of df-t were 8.10±2.62, 7.90±2.41, 3.80±1.60, and DMF-T were 0.65±1.22, 1.30±1.21, 2.15±0.90, respectively. The number of teeth with caries were significantly different among the age groups (p<0.001). No significant difference in PI and GI were found between the groups. BMI values were within normal limits. Significant positive correlation was found between the PI and df-t, DMF-T levels (p<0.01).

Conclusion: Ineffective and inadequate brushing, and consumption of cariogenic snacks may jeopardise dental and periodontal health in children at every stage of age. Health education should include the importance of proper nutrition and regular oral hygiene habits.

Süt, erken ve geç karışık dişlenme dönemindeki çocuklarda beslenme alışkanlığı ve ağız sağlığı

Year 2012, Volume: 2 Issue: 3, 113 - 118, 30.01.2014

Abstract

Amaç: Genel sağlığın ayrılmaz bir parçası olan ağız ve diş sağlığını etkileyen en önemli iki hastalık diş çürüğü ve periodontal hastalıklardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı süt, erken ve geç karışık dişlenme dönemindeki çocuklarda beslenme, çürük oranı ve periodontal durumu değerlendirmektir. 

Yöntemler: Marmara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Pedodonti Anabilim Dalı’na başvuran 4-12 yaşları arasındaki 129 çocuğun (73 kız, 56 erkek, yaş ortalaması 7.9±2.4) dental ve periodontal durumları incelendi. Klinikte ağız içi muayeneleri tek gözlemci tarafından, reflektör ışığı altında gerçekleştirilen çocuklarda df-t, DMF-T, plak indeks ve gingival indeks ölçüldü ve beden kitle indeksi hesaplandı. Çocukların demografik bilgileri ile beslenme ve fırçalama alışkanlıklarına yönelik 23 sorudan oluşan bir anket uygulandı.

Bulgular: Çocukların %61’inin gün içinde 2-4 ara öğün aldığı, %60’ının günde 1 kez şekerli içecek tükettiği, %60’ının ara öğünlerde karyojenik gıdalarla beslendiği ve sadece %6’sının günde 3 kez dişlerini fırçaladığı saptandı. df-t, DMF-Tdeğerleri 4-6 yaş grubunda sırasıyla 8.10±2.62 ve 0.65±1.22; 7-9 yaş grubunda 7.90±2.41 ve 1.30±1.21; 10-12 yaş grubunda ise 3.80±1.60 ve 2.15±0.90 bulundu ve gruplar arasındaki fark anlamlıydı (p<0.001). Plak ve gingival indeks değerleri farklılık göstermedi. Tüm gruplarda beden kitle indeksinin normal sınırlar içerisinde olduğu saptandı. PI ile df-t, DMF-T seviyeleri arasında anlamlı bir pozitif ilişki bulundu (p<0.01).

Sonuç: Çocukların fırçalama sıklığının ve etkinliğinin yetersiz olduğu, ara öğünlerde tüketilen gıdaların hem diş hem de dişeti sağlığı için risk oluşturduğu gözlendi. Bu nedenle düzenli beslenme ve etkili ağız hijyeni uygulaması için eğitim verilmesinin gerektiği görüşüne varıldı.
