“…Inappropriate use of bottle-feeding among children plays a central role in the etiology and severity of ECC. A number of studies had found significant correlations between ECC and prolonged bedtime use of bottles with sweetened content [11,12]. In the current study, it has been demonstrated that prolonged duration and high frequency of bottle-feeding may indeed induce the ECC occurrence.…”

“…Studies from India had found that children who sleep with nursing bottles had a higher risk to get dental caries [11]. Likewise, a study conducted in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) showed that children who bottle-fed in bed had 9% higher risk to get caries compared to children who did not [12]. Similar findings in South-West Germany indicated a significant correlation between the usage of nursing bottles in bed and severe ECC [13].…”

Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most prevalent dental diseases among children and is related to their early feeding practices. This multi-factorial disease involves susceptible tooth and host, fermentable carbohydrates in the diet, cariogenic micro-organisms and time (American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, 2008). Thus, this study aimed to identify the associations between bottle-feeding and weaning practices, and ECC formation. By using convenience sampling, 201 children were recruited from the IIUM Outpatient Dental Clinic and ten kindergartens around the area of Kuantan, in the state of Pahang (Malaysia). Examination for caries was conducted visually to determine caries status (with or without caries). The caregivers were requested to fill in a questionnaire regarding feeding practices of their children. The findings of the study indicated that 67% of the children identified with caries practiced bottle-feeding in bed either sometimes or always (every night/day) (p=0.005). The prevalence of ECC was also significantly (p<0.001) the highest (48.5%) among children who had been bottle-feeding for the longest duration (>4 years) among the study population. In addition, the mean intake of sweetened drinks among children with ECC was significantly higher than those with no ECC (5.4 vs. 3.1 servings/week, p=0.001). The results of this research indicated that the increased frequency and prolonged duration of bottle-feeding practices, as well as high consumption of sweet drinks during weaning, could be associated with the formation of ECC. In conclusion, these findings would increase the awareness particularly among parents regarding bottle-feeding practices and weaning diet contents and its potential implication on their children's oral health.

“…Moreover, Wyne et al [34] specified that the two carious lesions have to be on the labial surface. A more specific definition was used by Almushayt et al [24] they defined Severe ECC according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD 2006-2007) [21] . They described Severe EEC as the presence of one or more decayed (non cavitated or cavitated lesions), missing tooth due to caries or filled tooth surfaces in any primary tooth in a child 71 month of age or younger.…”

The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review on the existing data within the literature to determine the relation between breastfeeding and caries in Saudi Arabia on preschool children. Using Cochrane search strategy, a search protocol was prepared to review all published data for this study. The search was run on March 2011 in all languages as to identify all eligible studies for our review. Eight articles met the criteria. No significant differences between children with ECC and caries free children regarding the type of feeding. Breastfeeding frequency, feeding on demand, especially during sleep, and late weaning were found to be significant factor in most of the included studies. There were limited number of studies carried out in Saudi Arabia that correlate the possible relationship between breastfeeding and dental caries in preschool children. Therefore, more rigorous investigation in a larger sample size that represents the population, after standardizing and identifying the different confounding factors is required.

ObjectivesTo assess the prevalence of caries and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and try to investigate their common risk factors among adult residents in Guangxi province.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted on a sample of 2993 adults from five different areas of Guangxi province. The sociodemographic data, history of personal habits such as diet and physical activities, physical measurements, oral examination results and biochemical laboratory test data were collected to establish a database and prepare a sound research model. Chi‐square test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyse the risk factors for dental caries and IGR.ResultsThe prevalence rate for caries was 85.9%, and the mean DMFT score was 7.35. In multiple logistic regression, after adjustment, education level, occupation, daily consumption of vegetables, weekly consumption of carbonated beverages and weekly exercise were associated with caries (odds ratio [OR]: 2.10, OR: 1.80, OR: 1.40, OR: 2.45, OR: 2.38). The prevalence of IGR was 33.5%, and after adjustment, results showed that occupation, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, high‐density lipoprotein‐C levels and low‐density lipoprotein‐C levels were significantly associated with IGR (OR: 0.80, OR: 1.70, OR: 1.56, OR: 1.88, OR: 1.60, OR: 1.43, OR: 1.48). The strength of association between caries/IGR and risk factors was a weak association or moderate association.ConclusionsWe have not found common risk factors between dental caries and IGR. Therefore, further studies are needed to explore these common risk factors to prevent caries and IGR.
