The present study aims to assess the prevalence of dental erosion and its association with obesity among children with and without special healthcare needs.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,200 school children (400 children with special needs (CSHN) and 800 children without special needs) in the age group of 6 to 16 years.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between dental caries and obesity in special-needs children in Taif City, Saudi Arabia, highlighting that these children are more susceptible to both conditions due to various impairments and medication side effects.
- A survey of 400 children revealed that 72.3% had dental caries, with higher risks related to obesity, sugar consumption, cerebral palsy, and intellectual disabilities.
- The findings underscore the need for targeted strategies to address the shared risk factors of obesity and dental caries in this vulnerable population.
Objective: The present systematic review was conducted to investigate the effect of the self-assembling peptide (SAP) - P-4 in the remineralization of enamel caries.
Material And Methods: The systematic search for studies was conducted through CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, PsychINFO, and various key journals. This review was conducted in adherence to PRISMA standards and was registered in PROSPERO with registration number CRD42019110156.
Objectives: This study assessed the association between soft drink consumption, gastric reflux, dental erosion, and obesity among special care children.
Materials And Methods: A total of 350 special care children (male-131, female-219) mean age of 12.6 (± 2.
Background: Over the last few years, numerous reviews and studies have awarded articaine hydrochloride local anaesthetic (LA) a superior reputation, with outcomes of different studies demonstrating a general tendency for articaine hydrochloride to outperform lidocaine hydrochloride for dental treatment. Nevertheless, there seems to be no clear agreement on which LA solution is more efficacious in dental treatment for children. There is no previous publication systematically reviewing and summarising the current best evidence with respect to the success rates of LA solutions in children.
