“…Increased salivation and irritation were the most commonly reported signs, corroborating previous findings, evidencing that the manifestations perceived in children with congenital Zika syndrome are similar to those identified in children who did not present a general health condition that demanded special care.…”

Background The eruption of primary teeth represents a stage of many challenges for parents. Aim To investigate the occurrence of signs and symptoms related to the eruption of the primary dentition in children with congenital Zika syndrome. Design Longitudinal study developed with 79 children followed up for a period of 24 months. Data on sex, gestational age, low birthweight, microcephaly, signs and symptoms related to the dental eruption phase, and use and type of medication were collected. Data were presented by descriptive and inferential statistics (chi‐square test). Results The majority (94.9%) exhibited simultaneously two or more signs and symptoms related to dental eruption. Increased salivation (91.1%), irritability (86.1%), and gingival itching (83.5%) were the most commonly reported signs and symptoms. Bivariate analysis showed association between elevation of body temperature and sex (P < 0.05). Almost two‐thirds of mothers (63.3%) reported using medication to relieve symptoms presented by the child; however, the use of topical medication prevailed (57.1%). Conclusion All children with congenital Zika syndrome presented manifestations related to the eruption of primary teeth, with increased salivation, irritability, and gingival pruritus. The use of ointments and gels was the option of mothers in the treatment of the oral discomfort presented by infants.

“…Although heat has an additional effect on childhood diarrhea, and this effect increases with the intensity and duration of heat waves, 21 there is no evidence that the primary dental eruption has an association with diarrhea, however, children with low birth weight have had more manifestations related to dentition, and were 2.9 times more likely to develop diarrhea compared to children born with adequate weight. 22 Maternal knowledge and beliefs are important predictors for the prevention of childhood diarrhea, since they increase mothers' confidence in promoting care that reduces their incidence. 23 The preventive practices pointed out by the interviewed mothers who had a relation with self-efficacy were the breastfeeding and the hygiene of the home, being considered an important finding.…”

Objective: To verify the association among socioeconomic conditions, maternal behaviors and knowledge with their self-efficacy to prevent childhood diarrhea. Method: Analytical, quantitative study. Interviews were conducted with 238 mothers of children under five admitted into a hospital from January to April 2016. Were collected Sociodemographic data, maternal knowledge on prevention and management of childhood diarrhea, and application of the Maternal Self-Efficacy Scale for Childhood Diarrhea. Referente aos conhecimentos sobre causas da diarreia verificou-se associação entre autoeficácia e as variáveis: quentura/calor (p = 0,021) e a dentição (p = 0,030). Houve ainda associação entre autoeficácia e as condutas preventivas: higiene do domicílio (p = 0,023) e prática do aleitamento materno (p = 0,028). Conclusão: Conclui-se que as condições socioeconômicas e os conhecimentos apresentados pelas mães podem influenciar o nível de autoeficácia materna para prevenção da diarreia infantil.Palavras-chave: Diarreia infantil; Autoeficácia; Conhecimento; Saúde da Criança; Enfermagem. resumen Objetivo: Investigar la asociación entre condiciones socioeconómicas, conductas y conocimientos maternos con su auto-eficacia para la prevención de la diarrea infantil. Método: Estudio analítico, cuantitativo. Participaron 238 madres de niños menores de cinco años, ingresados en una unidad hospitalaria entre enero-abril de 2016. Fueron recolectados datos socio-demográficos, conocimientos sobre prevención y tratamiento de la diarrea infantil y aplicación de la Escala de Auto-eficacia Materna para Prevención de la Diarrea Infantil. Resultados: Asociación entre variables socioeconómicas y auto-eficacia materna: ingresos familiares (p = 0,049); edad (p = 0,010); tipo de casa (p = 0,042), destinación de basuras (p = 0,037); tipo de alcantarillado (p = 0,016); tipo de sanitario (p = 0,006). Referente al conocimiento de las causas de la diarrea: calor (p = 0,021); dentición (p = 0,030). Asociación entre autoeficacia y medidas preventivas: higiene del hogar (p = 0,023); práctica de la lactancia materna (p = 0,028). Conclusión: Condiciones socioeconómicas y conocimientos proporcionados por las madres pueden influir en el nivel de auto-eficacia materna para prevenir la diarrea infantil.

“…It takes place during an 8-day window that includes 4 days before tooth eruption, the day of eruption, and the three subsequent days. 3 Prior to eruption, the tooth is covered by enamel epithelium and as the tooth erupts, the epithelium breaks down. During this process, eicosanoids, cytokines, and growth factors are produced by the dental follicle, which results in inflammation and pain.…”

“…2 The timing of teeth eruption varies, although most children get their first primary tooth around 6 months of age and their last tooth between 24 months and 30 months. 3 Primary tooth eruption, more commonly known as "teething", is associated with local symptoms such as gum irritation and desire to bite. Since time immemorial, parents have also ascribed various systemic signs and symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, sleep disturbances, drooling, running nose, red cheeks, and decreased food intake to this process.…”

To assess the parental knowledge and practices regarding infant teething and attitude towards infant oral health among parents of infants aged 6 months to 3-years. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 parents who met the inclusion criteria. A self-designed, validated questionnaire comprising 13 questions was used. Questionnaire comprised of sociodemographic details, knowledge and experience of teething symptoms, practices used to relieve it and overall attitude towards infant oral health. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test was applied. Results: Parents attributed fever (87%), diarrhea (65%), gum irritation (71%) and desire to bite (78%) as common teething symptoms. Ninetyeight percent of the participants did not know that delayed tooth eruption could be an indicator for systemic disease. In case of first born child, parental knowledge was poor as compared to 2nd or 3rd born child (p = 0.023). Parents had a positive attitude regarding consulting a physician for teething problems and visiting a dentist for issues related to infant oral health. Tlismi necklaces (67%) and homeopathic tablets (25.8%) were two unique remedies identified in this population. Parents also reported over-the-counter use of systemic analgesics (58.2%). Emergence of upper teeth before lower teeth was considered as a bad omen by few parents. Conclusion: Parents wrongly attributed several systemic illnesses as teething symptoms. Though parents had a positive attitude towards infant oral care, it was not inculcated into practice. Clinical significance: Parents should be advised against self-medication and to report systemic illness in children to pediatricians and pediatric dentists for correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This study also highlights the need for educating parents about infant teething and oral care practices related to primary dentition for eruption of healthy permanent dentition.
