“…All the studies were cross-sectional. When classifying articles according to dentition, 4 of them investigated primary dentition [Trikaliotis et al, 2011;Norberg et al, 2012;Bagherian and Sadeghi, 2013;Pikramenou et al, 2016], 6 investigated mixed dentition [Willerhausen et al, 2007;Costacurta et al, 2011;Subramaniam and Singh, 2011;Elangovan et al, 2012;Shahraki et al, 2013;Liang et al, 2016], and the remaining 4 investigated permanent dentition [Narksawat et al, 2009;Sadeghi et al, 2011;Frias-Bulhosa et al, 2015;Denloye et al, 2016]. Of the 6 studies investigating mixed dentition, 4 calculated both primary and permanent teeth [Willerhausen et al, 2007;Costacurta et al, 2011;Subramaniam and Singh, 2011;Elangovan et al, 2012], while 1 just calculated primary teeth [Liang et al, 2016] and the remaining 1 calculated permanent teeth only [Shahraki et al, 2013].…”

Research on the association between dental caries and body mass index (BMI) in children has shown contradictory results; thus we aimed to examine the association between dental caries and the full range of BMI classes among children. We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for studies published prior to March 2017. Articles comparing dental caries among the full range of BMI classes for children below 18 years of both genders were included. Fourteen studies were eligible for this study. Basic information - i.e., first author, published year, study design, country, sample size, age, type of dental caries index and BMI, main results and conclusions, and means and standard deviations of the dental caries indexes used - was pooled. The weighted mean differences and corresponding 95% confidence intervals for dental caries between children with abnormal weight and those with normal weight were analyzed. Generally, no significant differences in caries were found between any abnormal-weight group and the normal-weight group for both primary and permanent teeth. Sensitivity analyses showed that the obese group had more caries than the normal-weight group in their primary teeth. Significantly more caries was found among the overweight and obese children in both primary and permanent teeth in high-income countries, but not in low- and middle-income countries. We recommend that further studies use suitable sample sizes, unify the criteria for BMI categorization and the dental caries index, and investigate the confounding factors that might influence dental caries and BMI.

“…The association between anthropometrical measurements, mainly BMI and dental caries was examined in previous studies, and conflicting results were provided. 11,[52][53][54][55] Although underweight/ malnutrition was shown as a risk factor for dental caries in some studies 40,56 , no significant association was shown between anthropometrical measurement and caries in others. [57][58][59][60] In this study, underweight children had a slightly higher percentage of caries compared with normal counterparts whereas overweight and obese children had slightly lower.…”

Limited evidence about the role of diet quality, an important component of nutritional status, in the etiology of dental caries has been reported. The aim of this study was to examine the association between diet and dental caries in children by using the dietary intake data, anthropometrical measurements and dental examination. A total of 395 children (52.7% boys and 42.8% girls) who were 36-71 months of age (mean age 58.7±8.6 months) and attended one of the eleven preschools within a district of Ankara participated in this descriptive study. Dental examinations were performed in the schools under day-light by a pediatric dentist; decayed, missing and filled teeth as well as surfaces were recorded. Data related to socio-demographic characteristics and 24-hour dietary recall of children were gathered via a structured, pretested questionnaire which was conducted by the research dietitian. The Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010) and Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for children and adolescents (KIDMED) were used to assess dietary intake. Anthropometric measurements including weight, height, upper arm circumference and head circumference were taken by the same researcher. The percentage of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) was increased by age (p<0.001) whereas no significant difference was observed by sex, socioeconomic status, tooth brushing frequency and body mass index (p>0.05). Although children who had bad KIDMED scores had slightly higher mean values of decayed missing and filled teeth (dmft) (5.39± 4.6) and decayed missing and filled surface (dmfs) (8.45± 8.69), compared to the scores of children with good or medium KIDMED scores, the differences were not statistically significant (p>0.05). On the contrary to the KIDMED findings, the mean value of tooth decay was significantly higher among children with bad HEI-2010 score (4.2±4.3) compared to children with medium HEI-2010 score (2.47±2.9) (p=0.043). It is concluded that a healthy eating pattern and high diet quality is essential for the prevention of early childhood caries in preschool children. Further studies are required to develop dietary strategies for the prevention of dental caries.

“…A study conducted in Taif University of outpatient clinic showed that 42.2% of subjects with high prevalence of dental caries were either overweight or obese [7]. A study of Thessaloniki, Greece showed that overweight children with 1.36 times and obese children with 1.99 times were more likely to have higher dmft than normal weight children [8]. A significant association between dental caries and BMI was reported in a study of Bhopal, India [9].…”

Dental caries or tooth decay is a breakdown of teeth due to bacterial activities, in bacterial breakdown hard tissues is one of the damage of dental caries; it becomes a public health concern, Studies showed that body mass index gives association with many diseases including dental caries. Our objective of this study was to drive the relationship of body mass index and dietary habits on dental caries experience of Pakistani children. The data for this study is the part of a multicenter country wide study being conducted to determine the eruption of permanent teeth and dental caries of Pakistani children. Data from Larkana and Peshawar the cities of two major Provinces of Pakistan were examined. 3358 children of just erupted teeth of aged between 5 to 19 years from these two cities were examined. 64.1% data were received from Peshawar city and 35.9% data were obtained from Larkana city. Results showed 52.2% were female samples and 47.8% were male sample. Outcome of Mann-Whitney U test gives the evidence that there was significant mean difference observed for carries of two cities, poisson regression model evident that the association of body mass index with carries experience. In our study mean permanent caries among Peshawar city children was almost double than Larkana city, even though height, weight and body mass index of Peshawar children higher ,one of the reason of Larkana child protection from caries was more used of milk and rise as compared to Peshawar Children. This study concludes that permanent DMFT risk for Peshawar city children was higher, and primary dmft had negative association with body mass index. Dental Carries in Larkana and ObjectiveThe primary objective of this study was to report the mean and Standard Deviation of primary, permanent, and overall dental carries among Larkana and Peshawar city children from Pakistan and formulation of an appropriate statistical model to evaluate and predict the dental caries using the information of body mass index using Poisson regression (Figure 1). Materials and MethodsData for this study is the part of a secondary baseline data for dental caries of a currently going project of Pakistani children, funded by Higher Education Commission, Islamabad, titled 'Time and Sequence of Eruption Teeth of Pakistani Children [12]. The co-author of this study is the Principal Investigator of that Project. Sampling techniqueWe used secondary data, but in project [12] Multistage Systematic Cluster Random sampling was performed to collect the data on study variables: age, gender, and type of school. The dentists also examined the children for dental caries and eruption of teeth. Study populationData were collected from school going children from Larkana, Citation: Ali SA, Khan N, Uddin M (2017) Dental Carries in Larkana and Peshawar Children's: Effect of Body Mass Index using Poisson Regression Model.

Abstract: Caries prevalence in this sample of Greek children attending private day care centres was low. Overweight and obese preschool children were at higher risk of dental caries than normal- and underweight children.
