Prevalence of developmental defects of enamel in children and adolescents with asthma

Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of developmental defects of enamel (DDEs) in relation to asthma severity, symptom onset and pharmacological treatment in pediatric asthma patients. Methods: Children and adolescents (68 asthma patients and 68 controls), 5-15 years of age and residents of the city of Londrina, Brazil, were enrolled in the study. Medical and dental histories were collected through the use of a structured questionnaire. Each participant underwent a dental examination in which… Show more

“…While it's opposite to the results obtained by other studies who found that there is a significant association between dental defects and evidence for anemia (33,34) For Bronchial asthma cases with enamel defects showed statistically significantly higher prevalence than cases with no enamel defects, this was assured by the findings reported by other studies (32,35,36). This can be hypothesized that pediatric asthma patients with dental enamel defects have probably experienced previous episodes of oxygen deprivation and ameloblasts are highly sensitive to oxygen supply (32) , also asthma drugs (either inhaled or oral) have been suspected to increase the prevalence of enamel defects (37).…”

“…Disruptions of enamel formation were associated with frequent illness (31). It has been suggested that any health problem prior to 5 years of age can modulate ameloblast activity and therefore impair amelogenesis (32).…”

“…A ocorrência de problemas pré-natais e neonatais pode aumentar o risco de presença de defeitos de esmalte em crianças 2,[5][6][7][8] . Na dentição permanente, traumas na dentição decídua são associados à presença de defeitos de esmalte [9][10][11] , assim como à experiência de cárie na dentição decídua [12][13][14][15][16] e à ocorrência de doenças sistêmicas na infância [17][18][19] . A presença de defeitos hipoplásicos tem relação com predisposição à cárie 16,20 e à sensibilidade den-tária, maloclusão e problemas estéticos, que podem promover problemas de ordem social e psicológica, interferindo na qualidade de vida das crianças 21 .…”

“…The study "Prevalence of developmental defects of enamel in children and adolescents with asthma" by Guergolette et al, (4) published in this issue of the Brazilian Journal of Pulmonology, shows that children with asthma suffer impairment associated with abnormal formation of the dental enamel (amelogenesis). It was also observed that the severity of asthma and the age of the onset of the symptoms are related to these deformities.…”
