“…A nonparametric Pearson's chi-square fitness of test was used to observe the statistical significance of observed categorical responses of 8 items of knowledge and 4 items of attitudes towards oral hygiene. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was used to report the statistical significance of results [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…Even under normal physiological conditions, poor oral hygiene can result in bacterima, which increases the likelihood of getting the disease permanently. Therefore, individuals who are at risk are highly encouraged to establish and maintain the most meticulous oral health habits in order to reduce the potential sources of bacteremias [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. There are scarce resources in the literature regarding children's oral health with pre-existing congenital heart disease.…”

“…However, some studies have shown that these children suffer poorer oral health compared with a control group. Some reasons include their frequent consumption of sugared medicines, increased susceptibility of developmental enamel defects, and negligence of oral hygiene as their worry of their cardiac condition outweighs care for meticulous oral [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Infective endocarditis is known to be a serious complication, mostly in patients who are susceptible of cardiac conditions. It is well established that there is a relationship between oral microorganisms and the development of infective endocarditis. Objectives:The objective of this study is to determine the knowledge of the parents of children at risk for infective endocarditis, the preventive behaviours practiced, and the oral health status of the children. Materials and Methods:A questionnaire will be distributed to parents (n = 107) of children with known cardiac diseases using selective non-random sampling, with an age ranging from 0-12 years.

“…Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious complication primarily affecting patients with cardiac conditions [ 1 ], such as those with congenital heart disease, valve replacements, cardiac implantable electronic devices, chronic rheumatic heart disease, nosocomial infection, and poor oral hygiene [ 2 ]. Although it is considered rare, it is even less common in children.…”

“…Due to the rise in risk factors, an increase in incidence has been seen globally in recent decades. In fact, in cases of bacteremia, younger age is a predisposing factor for IE, and younger patients are more likely to experience unfavorable outcomes [ 1 , 4 , 6 ]. It is well established that oral microorganisms play a role in the development of IE.…”

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious complication primarily affecting patients with cardiac conditions. It is widely recognized that oral microorganisms contribute to the development of IE. Objectives: The objective is to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and perception of parents of children at risk of IE by studying the preventive measures employed by them. Materials and methods: A self-constructed questionnaire composed of 14 questions was distributed among parents of children aged 0-12 years with known cardiac diseases. The parents/caregivers who were attending the pediatric outpatient clinics at King Fahad Medical City (KFMC) were selected randomly. Results : A total of 112 parents responded to this questionnaire. Almost 50% of the participants in this study reported that their children do not brush their teeth regularly, with only 12.5% of them brushing twice a day. Regarding the role of parents in supervising oral hygiene, 62.5% of them stated that they only provide advice but do not watch their child brush their teeth, and only 9.8% of parents are actively involved in advising and watching their children brush their teeth. In this study, 95.5% of parents agreed that maintaining good dental health was crucial for overall body health, and 58% of the participants showed interest in receiving more education about oral health and its impact on overall well-being. To assess the statistical significance, a nonparametric Pearson's chi-square test for fitness was employed. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was used to report the statistical significance of the results. Conclusion : While the parents demonstrated adequate knowledge of oral health, their attitudes toward it were lacking. So, both parents and children require a modification in their attitudes toward dental care and oral health.
