“…The exploration of the different issues and concerns as experienced by the parents are examples of the key findings from the present study that complement emerging knowledge in this area (see, for example, Byrne, Holland, & Jerzembek, 2010;Mensah & Kiernan, 2011;O'Hara, 2010;Plutzer & Keirse, 2011;Sansavinil et al, 2011). Although a large number of studies have been done internationally relating to dual-earning couples (for example, Bello & Tinder, 2009;Beutell, 2010;Santora & Esposito, 2010;Wierda-Boer, Gerris, Vermulst, Malinen, & Anderson, 2009), childcare in developing countries (for example, Block & Webb, 2009;Cameron & Cobb-Clark, 2008;Sumner & Harpham, 2008), child health and nutrition (for example, see Block & Webb, 2009;Sumner & Harpham, 2008;von Normann, 2009), child labour (for example, Beegle, Dehejia, & Gatti, 2009;Guarcello et al, 2010;Santo, Bowling, & Harris, 2010;Waldref, 2010), and so forth; however, they have been largely quantitative by nature.…”

“…Also like prior studies, the parenting status of the child can be a risk factor for TDI [44] just like it is for caries [45] and oral hygiene [46]: children living with single parents or with other people have significant higher occurrence of TDI when compared to children who live with both parents [44]. The pre-occupation of single parents with trying to provide for the financial needs of the family is often associated with neglect of small details about health care for children, especially oral health care [47].…”

BackgroundMultiple risk factors have been identified for traumatic dental injuries, including crown fractures, in various age groups and various populations. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, risk factors and family related factors for crown trauma among 8 to 16 year-old children in a suburban population, Nigeria.MethodsThis is a secondary analysis of a data of 2107 children collected through a school-based survey. Study participants were 8 to 16 year-old resident in suburban Nigeria. The independent variables for the study were age, sex, socioeconomic status, and birth rank, family size and parenting status (one parent, step parent, both parents, and guardians). Details were collected using an interviewer administered questionnaire. Intraoral examination was conducted to identify presence of crown fracture. The independent variables associated with and predictors of crown trauma were determinedusing chi-square and logistic regression analysis respectively.ResultsOnly 167 (7.9 %) of the 2107 study participants had crown trauma. The teeth level prevalence of crown trauma was 0.33 %. Children with middle socioeconomic status had reduced odds of having crown trauma when compared with children with low socioeconomic status (AOR 0.50; CI 0.32–0.80). The odds of having crown traumawas more than doubled in males when compared with females (AOR 2.41; CI 1.72–3.39) and almost doubled in children living with single parents when compared with children living with both parents (AOR 1.94; CI 1.29–3.05).ConclusionsThe prevalence of crown traumawas low in this study population. Being a female and having lowsocioeconomic status significantly reduced the risk factors for crown traumawhile living with single parents increased risk for crown trauma.

“…Accordingly, it has been suggested that the children from these families receive a lower standard of care than two-parent children. 25 Plutzer and Keirse 26 found that two-year-old children living in one-parent families are twice as likely to experience early childhood caries than children from twoparent families.…”

Caries experience in young children with congenital heart disease in a developing country

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Oral care is frequently suboptimal in children from developing countries, especially those suffering from severe systemic diseases. The aim of the present study was to analyze the oral epidemiological profile of 3-to-5-year-old children with congenital heart disease. Dental and medical records of children evaluated at the Dental Service of the National Institute of Cardiology, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were reviewed. Caries experience was reported using the dmft index. Negative behavior towards dental management was recorded. The sample consisted of 144 children aged 4.41 ± 0.95 years. The mean dmft value was 5.4 ± 4.9, and 80.5% had at least one caries lesion. Dmft index was greater in the presence of cyanotic cardiac disease and in children with negative behavior. An increase in the "missing" component of the dmft index was also found in children using medicine on a daily basis. A higher caries experience was associated with children whose fathers had only an elementary education. In conclusion, children with congenital heart disease had high levels of caries experience at a young age. Cyanosis, negative behavior, daily use of medicine, one-parent family and the educational level of fathers seem to influence caries experience in children with congenital cardiac disease.
