“…These findings support a similar study that found that, tooth decay was associated with high and low body mass indexes [4]. Additionally a research conducted in India revealed that there was a significant association between the indexes of anthropometric measures and dental caries for the 15 -19 year age group (caries scores of overweight males and females were higher), whereas there were no relation found for the age group of 12 -14 years [5]. These findings seem natural, as teeth at this age have recently erupted.…”

Introduction and Objective: The aim of this research was to find out the interaction of anthropometric measurements particularly body mass and oral health status of Turkish young adult nationals regionally, depending on the effects of diet (food and fluid consumption), smoking and tooth brushing habits, which were determined by using the body mass index (BMI) and dental health index (DMFT). Material and Methods: The BMI and DMFT of 202 cases, with an age average 22.5 years, were recorded through physical and clinical examinations. Statistical evaluation of the data was checked by Cronbach's Alpha Reliability Scale and performed by analysis of variance, Somer's d and Pearson Chi-Square statistics, Poisson Regression and Odds Ratio analysis. Results: The results showed that the mean of BMI was at the optimum level (21.52) for all cases. The DMFT was higher for underweight females and for overweight males. The mean of DMFT according to sexes seemingly had no significant difference; however, females had 8.6% more DMFT than males. When the risk factors of dental caries were evaluated, the DMFT was found as 19.3% more for cases consuming high carbohydrate foods, 4.5% more for high beverage consumption and 18% more for smokers. Conclusions: In conclusion, tooth brushing 3 or more times a day is necessary to decrease the DMFT and tooth brushing 3 times a day as opposed to 1 or 2 times shows significant difference regarding oral health.

“…There was no significant difference between gender and the mean DMFT\dmft value which was found to be 1.9 ± 2.2 in 12-year-old children in the Study for Oral and Dental Health Profile of Turkey [20]. In parallel with this study, although there are other studies revealing that the mean DMFT in girls is higher [3,21], it was determined in some studies that oral and dental health indicators were similar by gender [7,16,22]. It is stated that the prevalence of caries may be higher due to the earlier ages for dentition in girls and the emergence of periodontal problems due to hormonal changes in puberty period.…”

Background This study aims to examine the effects of socioeconomic status, oral, and dental health practices, dietary habits and anthropometric measurements on dental health in 12-year-old schoolchildren. Methods The sample of the study consisted of a total of 254 children (44.1% boys and 55.9% girls) in three schools which were identified as low, moderate and high socioeconomic status. The data were collected by face-to-face interviews via a questionnaire form. Dentist determined DMFT and dmft indices of the children. SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program was used to analyze the data. Results It was found that 70.9% of the children have dental caries on their permanent teeth. The number of girls with caries in permanent teeth and boys with caries in milk teeth was higher (p < 0.05). The frequency of seeing a dentist and changing toothbrush vary according to the socioeconomic status (p < 0.05). Oral and dental health indicators were determined to be affected by the frequency and duration of tooth brushing (p < 0.05). It was found that dmft values of the children consuming molasses and table sugar are lower (p < 0.05). There is a negative correlation between oral and dental health indicators and anthropometric measurements. Conclusion Dietary habits, anthropometric measurements, oral and dental health practices, gender, and socioeconomic status were shown to be effective on caries. Caries risk assessment and determining leading risk factors enable effective prevention programs to be implemented at different levels.

Position du problème : Obésité et carie dentaire sont toutes deux des maladies multifactorielles. Leurs prévalences sont en hausse chez les jeunes. Les résultats des études de l’association entre obésité et carie dentaire sont contradictoires. Les facteurs pouvant expliquer ces contradictions ne sont pas encore clairement élucidés. Les objectifs de cette revue étaient d’examiner et résumer les formes d’association trouvées entre obésité et carie dentaire chez les jeunes âgés de 8 à 18 ans et d’identifier les facteurs contribuant à la clarification de la relation. Méthode : Une recherche bibliographique a été menée sur les bases de données Scholar Google, Medline, Embase, PubMed. La revue incluait les études transversales publiées entre 2010 et 2015. Résultats : Les expériences de carie dentaire sont associées aussi bien à l’obésité qu’à la maigreur mesurée par l’IMC. Outre les facteurs socio-économiques, environnementaux, comportementaux, de style de vie, la revue a identifié que le choix d’instruments utilisés pour diagnostiquer la carie dentaire et l’obésité impactait sur les résultats. Conclusion : La présente revue a permis d’identifier l’impact des indicateurs autres que les standards IMC et CAOD dans l’identification et l’explication des controverses dans la relation entre obésité et expériences de carie dentaire. Les recherches futures devraient tester si leur utilisation pourrait modifier les conclusions sur l’existence d’une relation entre obésité et carie dentaire.
