“…The results showed a significant effect of BMI on children's dmft, with an inverse relationship between these two variables, consistent with the results of different studies carried out [7, 12, 18–20]. In contrast, some researchers have reported a direct relationship between BMI and dmft [11, 13, 21–25].…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between BMI and tooth decay in a population of Iranian children. In this cross-sectional descriptive/analytical study, 1482 children were selected from kindergartens and preschool centers in Kerman, Iran. The children underwent examination of deciduous teeth (using the dmft index) after determination of height and weight for calculation of BMI. The relationship between BMI (after adjustment for age) and dmft was determined using Poisson's regression model. The mean of dmft in children with normal BMI was 1.5-fold that in subjects with extra body weight. Age had a significant effect on dmft. In addition, dmft was higher in boys compared to girls. The results of the present study showed that caries rate in the deciduous teeth of 3–6-year-old children decreases with an increase in body weight.

Objectives To determine the association of overweight/obesity, dental caries and dietary sugars in Australian adults. Materials and methods The National Survey of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) 2004–2006 provided data for analysis of dental caries experience. Self‐reported body weight and height were used to calculate body mass index (BMI) for a subsample (n = 3,745, 89.8%) of the NSAOH data. A self‐report questionnaire of 13 food items estimated the daily intake of added sugar, total sugars and total carbohydrate, using food composition estimates from the AUSNUT2011–2013. Bivariate analyses (Pearson's Chi‐square with Rao–Scott adjustment and Student's t‐tests) were used to determine the association of overweight/obesity, dental caries, sugar variables and putative confounders. Poisson regression models for the Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth Index and individual measures of decayed, missing and filled teeth were constructed, with models containing BMI, dietary added sugar, total sugar and total carbohydrate, controlling for putative confounders. Results There was a positive association between dental caries experience and being overweight or obese compared with having normal weight or being underweight as well as between sugar consumption with all four dental caries outcome measures. When controlled for putative confounders where sugar consumption was identified as a key determinant, the statistical significance between dental caries experience and being overweight or obese disappeared. The demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with dental caries experience were age, sex, education, smoking status and usual reason for dental visit. Conclusion Analysis of the relationship between dental caries and obesity must include data about sugar and carbohydrate consumption.

“…The result of the association between oral clinical conditions and OHRQoL is consistent with previous research in children, adolescents and adults. For example, Foster Page reported a direct relationship between malocclusion and poor OHRQoL in adolescents, and that OHRQoL was indirectly predicted by dental caries experience.…”
