The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors associated with sever early
childhood caries among sample of preschool children in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Factors
investigatedwere; Mutans streptococci and Lactobacilli counts in saliva, saliva buffering
capacity, salivary flow rate, plaque index, feeding behavior, dietary habits, exposure to
nuoride, oral hygiene habits, socioeconomic status, knowledge and attitude of parents
cowardsdental health.
The design was case control and cross sectional study, sixty children diagnosed with
S-ECC and another 30 caries free children were selected. The study groups were selected
Itccording to certain criteria; healthy ASAI, diagnosed with S-ECC and aged 36-71
months, Clinical and radiographic examinations were done to measure dmfs and plaque
index, Salivary tests to measure salivary flow rate, buffering capacity and bacterial
counts. Questionnaire interview was performed to evaluate the following factors; Feeding
behavior, dietary habits, exposure to fluoride, oral hygiene practice of the child,
socioeconomic status, knowledge about dental health and attitude of the parents toward
dental health.
There was a highly significant difference in streptococcus count (P=O.02),
Lactobacillus count (P=O.OO),and plaque index (P=O.OOO), between both groups, but
there was no significant difference in the saliva buffering capacity and saliva flow rate.
There was a significant difference between both groups regarding the child feeding
behavior, with increased risk of caries found in child who went to bed with bottle and
whowas fed at will (P=O.OOO). A highlysignificantdifferencewas foundbetweenboth
groups regarding the dietary habit, which included the frequency of eating sugar
(P=0.003), the eating frequency of salty snacks (fishfash, chips) (P=0.006, P=O.002),
frequency of drinking flavored milk (P=0.008), and the consumption of soda drinks
(P=O.OOI).
There was a highly significant difference between the two groups regarding type of
toothpaste used, there was increased risk of caries in children using adult tooth paste
(P=0.008) as compared to child tooth paste, while the children who start brushing earlier
showed reduction of caries risk (P=O.013). The study showed increase risk of caries in families with high number of sibling (P=O.035), low mother education level (P=O.012),
low-level mother occupation (P=O.OOO), and low level father occupation (P=O.OO1). |
