Children who have severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) weigh significantly less than caries-free children. The association between S-ECC and weight suggests that its timely treatment at early stages may preserve general health, in addition to preventing pain and infection.
This study was conducted to evaluate whether children with untreated S-ECC had lower weight and height as compared with children with low caries and to evaluate whether full mouth rehabilitation of children with S-ECC resulted in the phenomenon of catch-up growth.
The weight and height of children with noncontributory medical histories and S-ECC (3-6 years) were compared with caries-free children, before and 6 months after full mouth dental rehabilitation.
Prior to dental rehabilitation, children with S-ECC had significantly less weight and height than their comparison counterparts (p < 0.001). Following therapeutic intervention, the test group children exhibited catch-up growth in relation to weight, as there was no significant difference in the body weight of the test and control groups (p = 0.171).
Comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation of children with S-ECC results in catch-up growth, thus improving the overall health of the child. How to cite this article: Sachdev J, Bansal K, Chopra R.

患有重度幼儿早期龋齿（S-ECC）的儿童体重明显低于无龋齿儿童。S-ECC与体重之间的关联表明，除预防疼痛和感染外，早期及时治疗S-ECC可能有助于维持儿童整体健康。
本研究旨在评估未治疗的S-ECC儿童与低龋齿儿童相比体重和身高是否更低，并评估S-ECC儿童全口修复后是否出现追赶生长现象。
将无其他病史的S-ECC儿童（3-6岁）在全口牙齿修复前和修复后6个月的体重和身高与无龋齿儿童进行比较。
在牙齿修复前，S-ECC儿童的体重和身高明显低于对照组儿童（p<0.001）。经过治疗干预后，试验组儿童在体重方面出现了追赶生长，试验组与对照组儿童的体重无显著差异（p=0.171）。
对S-ECC儿童进行全面的全口修复可实现追赶生长，从而改善儿童的整体健康状况。如何引用本文：Sachdev J, Bansal K, Chopra R. 综合牙科修复对重度幼儿早期龋齿患儿生长参数的影响。《国际临床儿科牙科学杂志》2016年；9(1):15-20。
