Abstract
Background: In Napho Hospital, the incidence of asthma is highest among children with chronic non-communicable diseases and the number is increasing in each year. Dental caries is major health problem in children. Pediatric asthmatic patients have many risk factors promoting tooth decay. These factors should be considered to prevent dental caries in these patients.
Objective: To investigate dental caries status and factors associated with dental caries in pediatric asthma patients in Napho Hospital
Methods: This study was analytical cross-sectional study. A total of 1-15 year-old 43 children who were visited at asthma clinic during November 2019 to February 2020 were enrolled in the present study. Data were collected by interviewing the subjects and their parents and performing oral health examination for all subjects. The results were analyzed using descriptive analyses including frequency, percentage, mean and standard variation. Additionally, bivariate and multivariate analysis were also conducted.
Conclusion: The average age of enrolled subjects was 9.1+3.5 years. The average of decay, missing and filling of deciduous teeth (dmft) was 3.0+3.4 teeth/person. The average decay, missing and filling of permanent teeth (DMFT) was 1.3+1.8 teeth/person. From bivariate analysis, the factors associated with dental caries were education level of parents of children (p=0.031), types of snack (p=0.045), dentist visiting (p=0.005) and fluoride supplementation (p=0.008). Multivariate analysis revealed that the dentist visiting was a significant factor accounted for dental caries status in pediatric asthmatic patients (p=0.027). The odd ratio of developing dental caries was 15.8 times higher among children who have never had dental checkups as compared to dentist visiting persons (95%CI=1.4-182.1).
Results: The factor found to have affected the increase in dental caries status in the children with asthma at Napho district waslack of dental visiting.
