Four case reports of children with nursing caries and failure to thrive are presented. Without regard to the condition of the dentition, the various cases could be classified as organic, mixed, or nonorganic in etiology. After dental rehabilitation, all patients exhibited an acceleration of weight velocity that resulted in weights above the 5th percentile. During the period of observation, the weight velocity continued to increase with time, consistent with the "catch-up" phenomenon of growth that is observed in nutritionally deprived children.
本文报告了4例患有奶瓶龋且生长发育迟缓的儿童病例。不考虑牙列情况，这些病例在病因上可分为器质性、混合型或非器质性。经过牙齿修复后，所有患者的体重增长速度均加快，体重超过了第5百分位数。在观察期内，体重增长速度随时间持续增加，这与营养缺乏儿童中观察到的生长“追赶”现象一致。
