“…Another explanation for the inverse association might be that children with untreated caries could experience pain and infection, thus preventing them from consuming adequate nutrition. In addition, other factors that contribute to overall wellbeing could be affected, including the ability to sleep, which in turn may lead to malnutrition and growth impairment [12, 18, 20, 25, 36]. The wider literature suggests that underweight children gained weight after receiving dental treatment [19, 50].…”

“…Entretanto, outros autores não demonstraram essa relação (Silva et al, 2016;Khadri et al, 2018;Carson, 2018;Paisi et al, 2018). Alguns estudos recentes não encontraram uma associação entre cárie dental e obesidade, quando avaliaram a cárie precoce da infância (Aluckal et al, 2016;Krishna et al, 2017) e cárie dental em crianças e adolescentes (Almerich-Torres et al, 2016;Farsi et al, 2016;Guizar et al, 2016;Liang et al, 2016;Farsi e Elkhodary, 2017;Krishna et al, 2017;Kumar et al, 2017;Quadri et al, 2017), evidenciando que essa associação pode ser variável, de acordo com a população avaliada.…”
