Abstract

BACKGROUND

Dental caries is a serious health condition in children. Poor diet, poor oral hygiene, and unique anatomy of the primary teeth can all contribute to the development of caries in primary teeth. Developmental structural defects in teeth during the fetal period and the first year after birth are believed to increase caries susceptibility. This study aimed to assess the correlation of the Apgar score with dental caries in 3- to 5-year-old Iranian children.

METHODS

This retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Pediatric Dental Clinic of Tehran Dental School in 2022. A total of 123 eligible children between 3-5 years were enrolled. The parents were requested to fill out a checklist regarding the information of demographics, birth and infancy condition and Apgar score of children. The children underwent clinical dental examination, and their dmft was recorded. Data were analyzed by the Pearson and regression tests. values < 0.1 were considered statistically significant.

RESULTS

The Pearson test showed that the 1-minute ( = 0.000) and 5-minute ( = 0.000) Apgar scores had a significant correlation with dmft. The regression analysis of demographic and birth factors revealed significant correlations between duration of breastfeeding ( = 0.066) and age of initiation of toothbrushing ( = 0.019) with dmft. Also, birth weight ( = 0.026) and mother's educational level ( = 0.090) had significant correlations with the Apgar score.

CONCLUSION

The results indicated a significant correlation between the Apgar score and dental caries. Thus, newborns with lower Apgar scores are recommended to receive more regular oral and dental care services.

摘要

背景

龋齿是儿童的一种严重健康问题。不良饮食、口腔卫生差以及乳牙独特的解剖结构都可能导致乳牙龋齿的发生。胎儿期和出生后第一年牙齿的发育结构缺陷被认为会增加龋齿易感性。本研究旨在评估伊朗3至5岁儿童的阿氏评分与龋齿之间的相关性。

方法

这项回顾性、描述性横断面研究于2022年在德黑兰牙科学院儿科牙科诊所进行。共纳入123名3至5岁的符合条件的儿童。要求家长填写一份关于儿童人口统计学、出生和婴儿期状况以及阿氏评分的清单。对儿童进行临床牙科检查，并记录他们的乳牙龋失补牙数（dmft）。通过Pearson检验和回归检验对数据进行分析。P值<0.1被认为具有统计学意义。

结果

Pearson检验显示，1分钟（P = 0.000）和5分钟（P = 0.000）阿氏评分与dmft有显著相关性。人口统计学和出生因素的回归分析显示，母乳喂养持续时间（P = 0.066）和开始刷牙年龄（P = 0.019）与dmft有显著相关性。此外出生体重（P = 0.026）和母亲教育水平（P = 0.090）与阿氏评分有显著相关性。
