Oral Health in Children and Adolescents With Obesity and Normal Weight

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pediatric Obesity; Pediatric Dentistry
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: oral health status

• Registration Number: NCT06283602
• Lead Sponsor: Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University

Brief Summary

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).

Detailed Description

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University	oral health status	Patient who apply to our clinic for routine paediatric treatment for the included in the study

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
the results of dmft, BEWE, ICDAS-II, probing dept	up to 12 months	No significant difference was observed concerning dmft and other factors (p\>0.05)
the results of DMFT, plaque and gingival indies	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)
Comparison of demographic attributes between obese and normal weights	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
other biochemical parameters of obese individuals	up to 11 months	No significant correlation was found between the biomarkers and other investigated factors (p\>0.05)
biochemical parameters of obese individuals	11 months	Procalcitonin exhibited significantly negative correlation between DMFT and ICDAS-II (p\<0.05).
