  • X-ray exposure in panoramic, periapical, bitewing, and bitewing plus panoramic radiographies can be cytotoxic, while bitewing plus panoramic radiography can be genotoxic in children as well. (thieme-connect.com)
  • Thus, the effects of X-ray exposure in dental radiography on children should be more precisely evaluated. (thieme-connect.com)
  • 3 ] A study on X-ray exposure in the United States demonstrated that about 90% of X-ray exposures are related to medical and dental radiography. (thieme-connect.com)
  • 3 ] It should be noted that despite the widespread use of dental radiographic modalities, there is no definite safety level for X-ray exposure. (thieme-connect.com)
  • Even in a country like Singapore with 100 per cent fluoridation, 40 per cent of children in Singapore under six years old were found to have early childhood caries (ECC) in a study conducted in 2009, with 90 per cent of those caries untreated. (colgate.com)
  • Recent national data from Sweden[ 5 ] suggest a positive correlation between dental caries and Body Mass Index (BMI), and showed that obesogenic behaviour such as snacking in early childhood predicted caries development in adolescence. (biomedcentral.com)

  • Clinical evidence shows that caries is reversible if detected and addressed in its early stages. (researchprotocols.org)
  • If your child has been diagnosed early, it can reverse the damage through remineralization. (happykidsdental.org)
  • To our knowledge there has been only one systematic review examining the relationship between obesity and dental caries[ 10 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Clinical trials of silver diamine fluoride in arresting caries among children: a systematic review. (jamanetwork.com)
  • Recent research published in JAMA Network indicates that fluoride supplements, fluoride gels, varnish, and sealants administered to children in dental or school settings improved caries outcomes. (dentistryiq.com)
  • What are the methodological limitations of the current approaches to investigating the development of both dental caries and obesity and what may be valuable directions for future research? (biomedcentral.com)
  • Most epidemiological studies have focused mainly on children rather than adults [ 7 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • We used logistic and zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) regression to estimate the association between urine cadmium concentrations and caries experience, adjusting these analyses for potential confounders including environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). (cdc.gov)
  • 0.69-1.23, I2 0%)Meta-analysis of two cohort studies, one case-control study and four cross-sectional studies reported odds ratios for the association between more or less breastfeeding after the age of 12 months and dental caries.Comparison groups for these studies included both those who had never been breastfed and those who had been breastfed for shorter durations.

  • 95% CI: 1.35-2.95, I2 69.3%).Meta-analysis of one cohort, one case-control and three cross-sectional studies reported odds ratios for the association between more versus less nocturnal breastfeeding and the risk of dental caries amongst the subgroup of children breastfed longer than 12 months.
