简要总结
This study aimed to investigate the dental caries experience, periodontal health and salivary properties of asthmatic and non-asthmatic children ⁄ adolescents.
详细描述
A total of 108 children aged from 7 to 16 years old were included in this study and equally divided into two groups: Group I (asthmatic children) and Group II (healthy control). All the children were clinically examined to assess their dental caries experience and periodontal health condition. A trained and calibrated examiner (kappa = 0.95) performed the dental caries examination according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Dental caries status was recorded using the number of decayed, missing or filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) and decayed, missing or filled surface (dmfs/DMFS) indices. Periodontal health was assessed by gingival index [GI] and plaque index(PI). An interview was conducted with parents/guardians and a structured questionnaire was employed to parents in addition to medical records. Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for salivary flow rate, salivary pH and buffering capacity.

Oral health status
时间窗: During examination 1 day
Caries experience of asthmatic and non-asthmatic children was recorded using the number of decayed, missing or filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) and decayed, missing or filled surface (dmfs/DMFS) indices. The gingival index (GI) was used to assess the gingival condition according to the criteria of Loe and Silness as follows: no gingival inflammation (\<0.1), mild inflammation (0.1-1.0), moderate inflammation (1.1-1.9), and severe inflammation in case of marked gingival redness and edema with spontaneous bleeding and ulceration (2.0-3.0) Plaque index(PI) was used to assess the amount of dental plaque.The measurement of the state of oral hygiene by Silness-Löe plaque index is based on recording both soft debris and mineralized deposits on the following teeth: A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth.
salivary flow rate -Salivary characteristics
时间窗: 5 minutes after saliva collection
Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for salivary flow rate. Saliva check buffer kit was used for the measurements according to instructions described on the user guide.
salivary pH - Salivary characteristics
时间窗: 5 minutes after saliva collection
Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for salivary pH GC saliva check buffer kit was used for the measurements according to instructions described on the user guide.
buffering capacity - Salivary characteristics
时间窗: 5 minutes after saliva collection
Stimulated salivary samples were collected and assessed for buffering capacity. GC saliva check buffer kit was used for the measurements according to instructions described on the user guide.
