This was to assess the possible impact of breastfeeding on the timing of eruption of the primary central incisors and the number of teeth erupted within the first 12 months of life.
1,016 children aged 3 to 12 months were recruited from the immunisation and out patients clinics, Ile- Ife, Southwest Nigeria. Mothers of the children were asked about the form of breastfeeding they had practised for their child. An intra-oral examination on each child was conducted to assess number of erupted teeth. The impact of the form of breastfeeding (exclusive or non exclusive) on the timing of eruption of the primary central incisors and the number of teeth that had erupted within the first 12 months was assessed.
There was no significant difference in the eruption timing of the primary central incisors in children who were exclusively breastfed when compared with children who were not exclusively breastfed, neither did the form of breastfeeding impact on the number of teeth erupted at 12 months.
The form of breast-feeding had no impact on the timing of eruption of the primary central incisors and the number of teeth erupted within the first 12 months of life in this Nigerian child population.
本研究旨在评估母乳喂养对乳牙中切牙萌出时间以及出生后12个月内萌出牙齿数量的可能影响。
从尼日利亚西南部伊费的免疫接种门诊和门诊招募了1016名3至12个月大的儿童。询问儿童的母亲她们对孩子采用的母乳喂养方式。对每个儿童进行口腔内检查以评估萌出牙齿的数量。评估母乳喂养方式(纯母乳喂养或非纯母乳喂养)对乳牙中切牙萌出时间以及出生后12个月内萌出牙齿数量的影响。
与非纯母乳喂养的儿童相比,纯母乳喂养儿童的乳牙中切牙萌出时间没有显著差异,母乳喂养方式对12个月时萌出的牙齿数量也没有影响。
在这个尼日利亚儿童群体中,母乳喂养方式对乳牙中切牙的萌出时间以及出生后12个月内萌出的牙齿数量没有影响。
