    Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of diet quality and oral flora on the dental health in the childhood period. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with the participation of 98 children aged 9-14 and their parents who applied to the Pedodontics Clinic Dental Faculty of Marmara University. The decayed, missing, filled tooth and surfaces and DMFT, DMFS indexes were determined through visual dental examination. Anthropometric measurements and saliva samples, as well as 24 h food consumption records, were taken from each child. Saliva samples were analysed microbiologically. To evaluate dietary quality from intakes Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) scores were calculated. Results: The mean age of children was 10.8±1.5 and study sample compromised 44.9% males and 55.1% females. 75% of the children had normal height and 58.2% of them had normal BMI according to World Health Organisation (WHO) references. The mean number of decayed tooth and surface was 3.07±2.35; 4.34±3.78 respectively and the mean number of DMFT and DMFS indexes were 5.88±2.31; 8.05±4.58 respectively. The mean number of decayed, missing, filled teeth and DMFT, DMFS scores were found to be higher in children with poor diets (according to HEI-2015) but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The presence of lactobacilli in saliva samples of 5.5% of the children was observed and children have lactobacilli in their saliva samples had more decayed teeth (p<0.05). Conclusion: The study findings illustrate the relationship between decay development and lactobacilli. Further studies with high sample sizes are needed to examine the diet quality and oral health.

    İstanbul’da okul çağındaki çocukların beslenme davranışı, ağız sağlığı ile tükürükte porphyromonas gingivalis ve bifidobacterium türleri varlığının araştırılması
    (2022-11-01) OMURTAG KORKMAZ, BURCU İREM; İSLAMOĞLU, AYŞE HÜMEYRA; Omurtag Korkmaz B. I., Yiğit A., Islamoğlu A. H., Korkmaz S., Mungan N. C., Akyüz S.
    Objective: One of the most important environmental factors affecting oral-dental health is nutrition. This study aimed to investigate the relation of Body Mass Index (BMI) and dietary habits to the oral-dental health of children, and the presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Bifidobacterium species in saliva. Methods: One-hundred-thirty children between the ages of 9-14 were included in the study. Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth/Surfaces (DMFT, DMFS) of permanent, and decayed and filled teeth/surfaces (dft, dfs) of primary teeth were recorded, and plaque (PI) and gingival (GI) indexes were also assessed. Anthropometric measurements and food records were taken, and saliva samples were analyzed microbiologically. Results: A negative correlation between BMI and dft, dfs scores, and a positive correlation between BMI and oral-dental health parameters was found (p<0.05). A positive correlation was also found between the visiting frequency of children to dentists and GI. Mutual interactions between PI and GI, DMFT and DMFS, a strong interaction between dft and dfs indexes was observed. Saliva Bifidobacterium sp. was significantly related to dft, dfs indexes. BMI, Bifidobacterium sp., DMFT, DMFS scores increased with age. None of the children had P.gingivalis in saliva, while 3.1% had Bifidobacterium sp.. A positive correlation occurred with bread consumption, whereas a negative correlation occurred in grain consumption with a comparison of the DMFS index (p<0.05). Sugar intake was positively correlated; total dietary fiber intake was negatively correlated with PI (p<0.05)
