BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between caries, body mass index (BMI) and occlusion in a sample of pediatric patients.
METHODS
The study group included 127 patients (72 female, 55 male) aged between 6 and 16 years (mean age 10.2) and selected between January and June 2019 at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Messina. Caries incidence was evaluated using the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index. On the basis of BMI values, using a table adjusted for age and gender, patients were grouped into four categories (underweight, normal weight, risk of overweight, overweight).
RESULTS
There was no significant correlation between BMI and DMFT in the whole sample. The study of the correlation between BMI and DMFT in patients with different types of malocclusion showed a significant inverse correlation for patients affected by II class and deepbite malocclusion.
CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of caries does not seem to be significantly related to BMI and occlusal patterns, but it decreases with increasing age.
背景
本研究旨在评估儿童患者样本中龋齿、体重指数（BMI）和咬合之间的相关性。
方法
研究组包括 2019 年 1 月至 6 月在墨西拿大学儿科牙科系选择的 127 名 6 至 16 岁（平均年龄 10.2 岁）的儿童患者（72 名女性，55 名男性）。龋齿发生率采用龋失补（DMFT）指数评估。根据 BMI 值，使用按年龄和性别调整的表格，将患者分为四类（体重不足、正常体重、超重风险、超重）。
结果
在整个样本中，BMI 与 DMFT 之间无显著相关性。对不同类型错合畸形患者 BMI 和 DMFT 相关性的研究表明，II 类和深覆合错合畸形患者呈显著负相关。
结论
龋齿的发生率似乎与 BMI 和咬合模式没有显著关系，但随着年龄的增长而减少。
