Acculturation and 4-year caries increment among children of foreign-born mothers in Sweden: a register-based cohort study.

Background: To study the association of maternal age upon arrival and length of residence in Sweden with the 4-year caries increment in their children between ages 3 and 7 years in relation to the human development index (HDI) of the maternal country of origin.

Method: This registry-based cohort study included all children born in 2000-2003 who resided in Stockholm County, Sweden, at age 3 years and who were followed up at age 7 (n = 63,931). Negative binomial regressions were used to analyze different models adjusted for sociodemographic factors.

Development level of the country of parental origin on dental caries in children of immigrant parents in Sweden.

Aim: To study the association of parental country of origin-expressed as low-, medium- and high-Human Development Index (HDI) countries-with caries experience in children of immigrant families in Stockholm.

Methods: This registry-based cohort study included all children born in 2000-2003 who resided in Stockholm County, Sweden, at age 3 years (n = 83,147) with follow-up at 7 years of age. A logistic regression was performed for the multivariate analysis with adjustments for socio-demographic factors.

U-shaped association between maternal age at delivery and dental caries in offspring.

Objective: To determine the association between maternal age at delivery and caries in offspring.

Materials And Methods: This registry-based cohort study included all children born between 2000 and 2003 and who were residing in Stockholm County, Sweden, at 7 years of age. Between 2007 and 2010, the cohort ( = 65,259) was examined to determine caries experience (deft scores) at 7 years of age.

Birth order is associated with caries development in young children: a register-based cohort study.

Background: Birth order has been shown to affect the health of the child; less is known, however, about how birth order affects caries development in children. Thus, the present study investigated the association between birth order and dental caries development in young children.

Methods: This retrospective registry-based cohort study included all children born in 2000-2003 who were residing in Stockholm County, Sweden, at age 3 years (n = 83,147).

Adverse birth outcomes and the risk of dental caries at age 3 years.

Background: Since birth outcome is associated with maternal and newborn health, it can be a predictor of the future health of the child.

Aim: To investigate the association between adverse birth outcomes and dental caries.

Design: The present registry-based cohort study included all children born in 2000-2003, residing in Stockholm County, Sweden and who received a dental examination at the age of 3 years (n = 74 748).

Socioeconomic Determinants, Maternal Health, and Caries in Young Children.

Introduction: Maternal health during pregnancy plays a part in child health, and several conditions have been associated with adverse child outcomes.

Objectives: To determine the socioeconomic determinants and maternal health factors associated with dental caries in young children.

Methods: This cross-sectional study is part of a register-based cohort study including all children who were born from 2000 to 2003 and were residing in Stockholm County, Sweden, at age 3 y ( = 73,658).

Caesarean Section Does Not Increase the Risk of Caries in Swedish Children.

Caesarean section has been shown to affect the health of the child. Only a few studies have investigated whether the mode of delivery is associated with dental caries, and they present conflicting results. Our study investigated whether dental caries was associated with delivery method in Swedish preschool children.

Is congenital malformation a risk factor for caries development in Swedish adolescents?

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether various forms of congenital malformations are risk factors for approximal caries development in Swedish adolescents.

Materials And Methods: This longitudinal register-based cohort study included all adolescents (n = 18 142) of 13 years of age who resided in the county of Stockholm, Sweden, in 2000. The cohort was followed until individuals were 19 years of age.

Migration background: a risk factor for caries development during adolescence.

The influence of child and parental migration background on the risk of approximal caries increment in Swedish adolescents was investigated. This retrospective longitudinal register-based cohort study included all 13-yr-old adolescents (n = 18,142) who were resident in the County of Stockholm, Sweden, in 2000, and followed them up to 19 yr of age. At follow-up, 15,538 subjects were examined.

Association between obesity, flow rate of whole saliva, and dental caries in adolescents.

In a cross-sectional study design, we test the hypothesis whether childhood obesity is associated with reduced flow rate of stimulated whole saliva and dental caries. Obese adolescents (n = 65) with a mean age of 14.5 years and normal weight subjects (n = 65) with a mean age of 14.

Maternal overweight and smoking: prenatal risk factors for caries development in offspring during the teenage period.

This study aimed to investigate pre- and perinatal determinants as risk factors for caries development in offspring. In this longitudinal register-based cohort study, we included all children (n = 18,142), of 13 years of age who resided in the county of Stockholm, Sweden, in 2000. The cohort was followed until individuals were 19 years of age.

Risk factors and risk indicators in relation to incipient alveolar bone loss in Swedish 19-year-olds.

Objective: To investigate incipient alveolar bone loss and subgingival calculus on a subject-based level in Swedish 19-year-olds, with special reference to risk factors and risk indicators.

Material And Methods: Subjects (n=686) with different socio-economic profiles enrolled at seven public dental clinics in suburban Stockholm answered a questionnaire on general health, tobacco habits, oral hygiene habits, and their parents' socio-economic background. The clinical and radiographic examination included registration of plaque, bleeding on probing (GBI), supra- and subgingival calculus, caries, and restorations.

Risk factors and risk indicators associated with high caries experience in Swedish 19-year-olds.

Objective: To study the risk factors and risk indicators associated with high caries experience (DMFS >or= 10) in 19-year-olds.

Material And Methods: The subjects (n=800) lived in seven suburbs of Stockholm and answered a structured questionnaire about their parents' education, occupation, and country of birth, as well as their dietary habits, oral hygiene habits, and attitudes to dental care. Dental caries was assessed by clinical and radiographic examination using the decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT), and surfaces (DMFS) indices.

Influence of approximal caries in primary molars on caries rate for the mesial surface of the first permanent molar in swedish children from 6 to 12 years of age.

The objective was to assess the influence on the caries rate for the mesial surface of the first permanent molar (6m) of the caries status of the distal surface of the second primary molar (05d) in children from 6 to 12 years of age. The study design was retrospective and included 374 children with an average of 5 sets of bite-wing radiographs. The mean age of the children was 6.
