Association between Fever and Primary Tooth Eruption: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract

Aim To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to establish if fever is associated with primary tooth eruption.Materials and methods Literature searches involved Pubmed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane. The potentially relevant studies had the full text analyzed. Only studies concerning fever during eruption period of primary tooth in humans were included. Papers in non-English language, and papers that included syndromic patients or patients with any disease were excluded. The meta-analyses were performed with Review Manager (version 5.3). Only studies that reported the results as dichotomous data were analyzed with Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test in meta-analysis function of Review Manager 5.3. The fixed-effects model was used to evaluate the association between tooth eruption and fever.Results Search identified 83 potential studies. After exclusion of the duplicated studies, or were not related to the criteria of inclusion only 6 studies were selected for the systematic review. In the overall meta-analysis, no association was found [OR = 1.32 (0.88-1.96)] between fever and primary tooth eruption. However, in the subgroup analysis, when the method used to measure fever was the rectal temperature there was an association [OR = 2.82 (1.55-5.14)] between fever and primary tooth eruption.Conclusion There are few suitable studies in the literature regarding the association between primary tooth eruption and fever. However, our study found an association between fever and primary tooth eruption only when rectal temperature was performedHow to cite this article Nemezio MA, De Oliveira KMH, Romualdo PC, Queiroz AM, Paula-e-Silva FWG, Silva RAB, Kuchler EC.

Manifestações relacionadas à erupção de dentes decíduos: percepção e conduta dos pais ou responsáveis avaliados na Clínica de Bebês do Centro Universitário Newton Paiva em Belo Horizonte

“…Em um artigo de revisão sistemática feita por Nemezio et al 11 no Canadá, observaram que existem poucos estudos adequados na literatura sobre a associação entre erupção dentária primária e febre. Contudo, estes mesmos autores encontraram uma associação entre febre e erupção dentária primária apenas quando a temperatura retal foi realizada, sendo que a temperatura retal é cerca de 0,5°C mais alta do que temperatura oral e 1°C maior do que uma axilar temperatura, tendo como base a temperatura de 37°C.…”

Evaluación de la relación de los signos y síntomas durante el período de erupción de los dientes primarios

“…Algunos estudios demuestran que síntomas específicos están asociados a la erupción dentaria, 10,20-23ª pero aún no existen evidencias para indicar que los actos del mecanismo proceden de la erupción de los dientes primarios. 15,24 En este estudio todas las madres relataron sintomatología durante la emergencia de los dientes primarios, estos resultados también han sido verificados por otros autores. 12,23,26,27 Sin embargo, para los pediatras sólo algunos niños presentan estos hallazgos clínicos, 28 difiriendo a lo encontrado en este estudio.…”

“…2,[16][17][18][19] No hay evidencias para indicar si estos hallazgos clínicos ocurren debido la erupción de los dientes primarios. 10,[20][21][22][23][24] Cuando están presentes pueden ser usados métodos para la disminución del descontento del niño durante la erupción de los dientes primarios. Geles que contienen anestésicos, analgésicos y mordedor de silicona pueden ser utilizados por los responsables.…”

Eruption of temporary teeth in children

“…Проблемой прорезывания временных зубов у детей стали активно заниматься со 2-й половины XX в. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. В разные годы проводились исследования, в ходе которых были получены отличные друг от друга результаты.…”

“…В одном из последних сообщений по данной проблеме (сентябрь 2017 г.) [10] для систематического обзора из 83 потенциальных исследований были отобраны только 6, в которых обсуждается связь между лихорадкой и прорезыванием зубов. В общем метаанализе авторами не было обнаружено никакой ассоциации между ними (отношение шансов (OШ) 1,32; 95% доверительный интервал (ДИ): 0,88-1,96), и лишь при анализе подгрупп, когда методом измерения лихорадки была ректальная температура, между лихорадкой и появлением молочных зубов обнаружена ассоциация (OШ 2,82; 95% ДИ: 0,88-1,96).…”
