Caries prevalence and socioeconomic factors in children with sickle cell anemia

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate caries prevalence and socioeconomic factors in children with sickle cell anemia. This study was conducted in 160 children with sickle cell anemia aged 3 to 12 years attending the Center for Hematology in Recife, Brazil. Data collection included interviews with guardians concerning social factors and oral examinations to determine the caries prevalence. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Pearson's chi-square tests at a 5% significance… Show more

“…One described the clinical and oral health conditions, the socioeconomic status and the family context of 704 children in the state of Bahia, Brazil, 10 and the other associated caries prevalence to socioeconomic status in 160 children in Recife, Brazil. 11 The dmft in these studies was 0.94 (DP = ±2.28) and 2.12, respectively. In the National Oral Health Survey (SB Brazil) of 2003, 20 the mean dmft for healthy Brazilian children aged 18-36 months was 1.07 (SD = 2.40) and 1.00 (SD = 2.24) in the northeast region.…”

“…3 In the oral cavity, SCA can cause diastemata, delays in tooth eruption, 5,6,7 malocclusion and glossitis. 6,7,8,9 There are no studies in the literature containing conclusive data related to the prevalence of caries and periodontal disease in children afflicted by SCA, 10,11 despite the existence of biological plausibility for an association between incidence of caries and severity of the disease.…”

“…4 The relationship between father's education with regard to oral hygiene and the incidence of decay of teeth in children was not reported as significant. 5 Conversely, it has been observed on a large number of family members, race and religion, that there is a higher incidence of tooth decay in the black population and among unbelievers.…”

“…In addition, the continuous use of sucrose-based medications and frequent hospitalization would result in improper oral hygiene [17]. A study was conducted comparing 35 dental patients with SCD, aged 6 years and older, to 140 dental patients without SCD (age-gender-matched study) to determine whether individuals with SCD had higher prevalence of dental caries using the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth Index (DMFS index).…”

“…As opposed to adults, children with SCD are more prone to develop periodontitis. In general, SCD patients are more susceptible to infections and periodontal disease [17]. Gingival hypertrophy has also been observed in SCD patients [28].…”
