“…Our study is in agreement with the study of Sheller and colleagues (1997) and Larsen and colleagues (2010) which reported that the sequels of untreated dental caries like infection, swelling, and pain may decrease the quality of life [ 15 , 49 ].…”

“…These results were in agreement with the study of AL-Etbi and Al-Alousi (2011) who reported a high frequency of enamel defects such as hypoplasia of primary teeth in children with ventricular septal defect (acyanotic CHD) [ 49 ]. However, these results were different from a study undertaken by Tasioula and colleagues (2008) and Cantekin and colleagues (2015), who reported no significant differences between CHD children with CHDs and controls in the frequency of enamel defects [ 36 , 40 ].…”

Background There was an immense need for studies evaluating the oral health status of Syrian children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and its impact on their quality of life. No contemporary data are available. The objective of this study was to investigate oral manifestations and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children with CHD and compare them with healthy controls aged 4–12 years. Methods A case-control study was undertaken. A total of 200 patients with CHD and 100 healthy children belonging to the same patient’s family were included. Decayed, missed, and filled permanent teeth index (DMFT) and decayed, missed, and filled primary teeth index (dmft), Oral Hygiene Index (OHI), Papillary Marginal Gingivitis Index (PMGI), and dental abnormalities were recorded. The Arabic version of the Child Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (COHRQoL, 36-item) which was divided into 4 different domains (Oral Symptoms, Functional Limitations, Emotional Well-Being, Social Well-Being) were studied. Chi-square test and independent- t-test were used to perform statistical analysis. Results CHD patients experienced more periodontitis, dental caries, poor oral health, and enamel defects. The dmft mean was significantly higher in CHD patients than in healthy children (5.245 vs. 2.660, P < 0.05). No significant difference was found between patients and controls in the DMFT Mean (P = 0.731). There was a significant difference between CHD patients and healthy children in the mean of the OHI (5.954 vs. 1.871, P < 0.05), and PMGI (1.689 vs. 1.170, P < 0.05). CHD patients have significantly higher enamel opacities (8% vs. 2%) and hypocalcification (10.5% vs. 2%) than controls. Also, the 4 COHRQoL domains, showed significant differences between CHD children and controls. Conclusions Evidence about the oral health and COHRQoL of children with CHD was provided. Further preventive measures are still required to improve the health and quality of life of this vulnerable group of children.

“…On the other hand, children with CHD are "at risk" from malnourishment and dental diseases , the focus must primarily be on the awareness of infective endocarditis, and oral hygiene instructions and they are needed to develop the preventive protocols [27]. The high frequency of the high enamel defects was noticed in children with VSD compared to that in control [28].…”

Background: Heart malformations are among the commonest indications for admission to hospital and may causes mortality of children. There is a need to highlight this important medical issue as there is no review article on this subject in Iraq. Aim: This study aims to focus on this diseases in allover Iraq by reviewing the articles that have been published previously among different Iraqi academic scientific journal (IASJ) and concerned with the congenital heart diseases in various Iraqi governorates. Materials and Methods: Reviewing of the publications were conducted in accordance of that already described. Identification of available articles were done via applying search on IASJ (from 1997 to 2022). The keywords of ‘congenital heart disease was used in the search. Comprehensive full text articles in English were enrolled, while those published locally in periodic journals were excluded as there they were difficult to access them. Data extraction from selected publications was done in an independent manner via specialized design including the title of the study, the date of publication, area of research, topic of research, number of cases enrolled, and major results. Results: Most cases are diagnosed at infancy. Male predominance was recognized in Ventricular septal defect (VSD), Tetrolgy of Fallot (TOF), stenosis of Aorta, transposition of the great arteries (D), and aorta's coarctation, Female supremacy was recognized in atrio ventricular canal defect, Patent ductus arteriosus-PDA, atrial septal defects-ASD, and stenosis of pulmonary artery. The acyanotic type was more frequent than those accompanied with cyanosis as reported by many studies. A study from Basra Province has registered the highest incidence of CHD throughout analysis of data of patients with CHD which constitutes 57(40%) out of 1414 examined children. The reviewing of data from several articles in IASJ revealed a concern with correlation of CHD with other congenital disorders. Few researches were conducted on the treatment of CHD. Several works in Iraq tried to discuss the issue from other points of views as the nutritional status and feeding problems, the impact on the growth, and even the oral and dental health. Conclusions: According to the results of all reviewed Iraqi studies, there is a need for establishing a high standard centers with providing equipments for pediatric surgical operations .A well prepared staff is required for such type of operations. In addition, a well cooperation between the pediatricians and cardiac surgeons to achieve accurate diagnosis, managements, and follow up is needed.

Background: Dental caries and an impairment in visual acuity (VA) may both be caused by a variety of risk factors. Various conditions of the eye can appear as a consequence of overall inflammation and active dental caries. Aim: The present study aims to assess dental caries and salivary status by measuring the transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) and flow rate between visually impaired students compared with students with normal vision. Materials and Methods: Research was performed employing a cross-sectional comparative study design conducted among representative 653 students aged 8–10 years at primary schools in Al-Diwaniyah governorate using the Snellen E chart for measuring VA status. Partitioning the students according to the degree of VA into normal students with normal VA of 6/9 or better and students with visual impairment of 6/12 or worse was done. Sub-sample of 180 students was recruited randomly from both groups, age and gender-matched participants for salivary analysis, and dental caries assessment measured by decay, missed, filled index, according to the World Health Organization in 2013 Results: Out of 653 students, only 70 students suffer from a decrease in VA. Dental caries was more prevalent in those who had a decrease in VA compared with normal groups. For primary teeth decay, missed, filled teeth index (DMFT/dmft), the result was not significant but highly significant for DMFT/dmft. A significant decrease in salivary flow rate and increased salivary TGF-β1 level among visually impaired students was found. Conclusions: According to the current research, the study population that has impaired VA, dental health status has greatly deteriorated.
