MODES OF INFANT FEEDING AND EARLY CHILDHOOD CARIES

Öz

Early childhood caries  is the most prevalent chronic childhood disease, representing a public health problem that affects infants and preschool children worldwide. Infant feeding habits involving breastfeeding, bottlefeeding and formulas are believed to have a role in the development of early childhood caries. This article presents an overview of effects of infant feeding habits on early childhood caries in the light of current literature. Breastfeeding has been found to have many health benefits for both child and mother. On the other hand, several studies have shown that breastfeeding or even exclusive breastfeeding can cause caries similar to bottlefeeding.  Bottle-feeding with sucrose-containing infant formulas, fruit soups or syrups were reported to be risk indicators for caries in young children.  In the studies that investigate the relationship between early childhood caries   and different feeding modes for infants, it is observed that the findings exhibit variability depending on the feeding method and duration.

BEBEKLERDE BESLENME MODELLERİ VE ERKEN ÇOCUKLUK ÇAĞI ÇÜRÜKLERİ

Öz

Erken çocukluk çağı çürüğü,  dünyada bebekleri ve okul öncesi çocukları etkileyen ve en yaygın kronik çocukluk çağı hastalığı olarak belirtilen halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bebeklerde beslenme alışkanlıklarının (anne sütüyle, biberonla ve bebek mamasıyla beslenme), erken çocukluk çağı çürüklerinin gelişmesinde önemli rolü olduğu düşünülmektedir.

EÇÇ’nin beslenme ile olan ilişkisi güncel literatür ışığı altında incelenmiştir.

Anne sütüyle beslenmenin çocuk ve anne için yararlı etkilerinin olduğu bilinse de, özellikle uzun süre anne sütüyle beslenmenin biberonla beslenmeyle benzer şekilde çürüğe neden olduğu çeşitli çalışmalar tarafından gösterilmektedir. Ayrıca biberon ile sukroz içeren bebek mamaları ya da meyve sularının verilmesi, bebeklerde diş çürüğü açısından risk faktörü oluşturmaktadır.

Bebeklerde farklı beslenme modelleri ve diş çürüğü ilişkisini değerlendiren çalışmalar incelendiğin- de bulguların beslenme sekli ve süresine bağlı olarak değişkenlik gösterdiği gözlenmektedir.
