Oral Health in Children and Adolescents With Obesity and Normal Weight

We aimed to compare the oral health status (dmft/DMFT index, IDCAS-II, BEWE, plaque index, gingival index, probing depth) between normal-weight (NW) and obese (OW) children/adolescents.

82 participants aged 6-16 years were concluded in this cross-sectional study. The children/adolescents were classified according to the body mass index (BMI): NW (n=41) and OW (n=41). Caries experience was assessed by the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II), decay, missing, filling teeth (dmft) for the primary teeth and (DMFT) for the permanent teeth, erosive tooth wear using Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE), Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index (GI), Probing Depth (PD).

About this study

Also, the relationship between procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), parathormone (PTH), and 25(OH)D blood biochemistry and oral health was evaluated in obese children/adolescents.

Treatment and study plan

oral health status

Diagnostic Test

the dentists examined the dried teeth with a probe and mount mirror in a dental unit.

Primary outcomes

  1. the results of DMFT, plaque and gingival indies

    Time frame: 12 months

    The results of the study indicate that individuals with obesity tend to exhibit significantly higher scores for DMFT, plaque, and gingival index as compared to those with normal weight t significantly higher scores for DMFT, plaque, and gingival index as compared to those with normal weight (p<0.05)

  2. the results of dmft, BEWE, ICDAS-II, probing dept

    Time frame: up to 12 months

    No significant difference was observed concerning dmft and other factors (p>0.05)

  3. Comparison of demographic attributes between obese and normal weights

    Time frame: 12 months

    Significant disparities were identified between patients with normal weight and those who were obese, particularly in BMI, income, and tooth brushing habits. Obese patients exhibited considerably higher BMI scores in comparison to those with normal weight (p<0.001).Body mass index (BMIs; kg/m2) was calculated by the pediatrician using the patients' height (meters) and weight (kilograms). BMI 5-85th percentile normal weight according to gender and age; BMI 85- 95 percentile overweight; Those at the 95th percentile and above were considered obese

Secondary outcomes

  1. biochemical parameters of obese individuals

    Time frame: 11 months

    Procalcitonin exhibited significantly negative correlation between DMFT and ICDAS-II (p<0.05).

  2. other biochemical parameters of obese individuals

    Time frame: up to 11 months

    No significant correlation was found between the biomarkers and other investigated factors (p>0.05)
