O presente estudo teve como objetivos avaliar a prevalência, gravidade e fatores associados à Cárie Dentária (CD), Lesão Dentária Traumática (LDT) e Desgaste Dentário Erosivo (DDEr) em crianças menores de 5 anos de idade no Município de Diadema, São Paulo. Em posse de esses dados, também foram objetivos investigar a tendência da prevalência desses problemas de saúde bucal e avaliar o impacto que esses problemas causam na Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde Bucal (QVRSB) das crianças examinadas e de seus pais. Cirurgiões dentistas treinados e calibrados examinaram 1215 crianças de 1, 2, 3 e 4 anos de idade para CD e LDT e 839 crianças de 3 e 4 anos de idade para DDEr nas 19 Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) do Município de Diadema durante o dia da Campanha de Multivacinação Infantil em 2012. Para a avaliação dos problemas de saúde foram utilizados os índices de Knutson, ceo-d e ceo-s para CD, os critérios modificados de Andreasen para LDT e o índice de O´Brien modificado para DDEr. A ocorrência de fatores associados foi investigada por meio de um questionário elaborado especificamente para esta pesquisa, com base na literatura. Para avaliar a QVRSB os pais ou responsáveis responderam à versão brasileira do Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS). Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente utilizando a regressão de Poisson (IC 95%) para determinar os fatores associados e a QVRSB dos problemas de saúde bucal estudados. Para determinar a tendência da prevalência foi utilizado o Teste de Qui-quadrado para tendência com um nível de significância de 5%. Na população estudada foi encontrada uma prevalência de CD, LDT e DDEr de 20,3%, 20,1% e 51,3% respectivamente. O ceo-d e ceo-s do total da amostra foi de 0,7 e 1,2 respectivamente. A fratura de esmalte (72,7%) foi a LDT mais prevalente. As lesões de DDEr foram mais prevalentes em incisivos superiores sendo a maioria das lesões encontradas em esmalte (83,3%). Os fatores associados para CD foram a idade da criança e ter 2 ou mais filhos na família; LDT foram a idade e a presença de mordida aberta anterior e/ou sobressaliência acentuada; DDEr foram consumir refrigerante e suco mais de 3 vezes ao dia, deixar a bebida na boca ou beber na mamadeira, relato de refluxo gastroesofágico e morar só com o pai. Observou-se tendências de diminuição, aumento e estacionária nas prevalências de CD, LDT e DDEr respectivamente. Ao avaliar o impacto na QVRSB foi observado que, a CD (RP:3,09; p<0,001) assim como as LDT complicadas (RP:2,10; p=0,048) têm um impacto negativo na QVRSB e o DDEr (RP:0,79; p=0,163) não mostrou ter um impacto na QVRSB. Por tanto, na população estudada, existe uma tendência de declínio da prevalência da CD, de aumento de LDT e uma alta e constante prevalência de DDEr. As lesões de CD e LDT complicadas têm um impacto negativo na QVRSB das crianças e de seus pais ou cuidadores. / The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence, severity and factors associated of Dental Caries (DC), Traumatic Dental Injury (TDI) and Erosive Tooth Wear (ETW) in children the age of five in the municipality of Diadema, São Paulo. Given these data, an additional objective of this study was to investigate the trend of prevalence of these oral health problems and assess the impact that these problems cause on the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in preschool children and their parents. Trained and calibrated dentists examined 1215 children aged 1-4 years for DC and TDI, and 839 children aged 3 and 4 years for ETW in 19 Basic Health Units (BHU) of the municipality of Diadema during the first stage of the National Children\'s Vaccination in 2012. For the assessment of DC the Knutson, dmf-t and dmf-s index were used, a modified Andreasen criteria was used for TDI and a modified version of the O\'Brien index for ETW. Furthermore, the occurrence of associated factors was investigated using a structured questionnaire prepared after reviewing the literature. In order to assess OHRQoL, parents or caregivers answered the Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS). Data were statistically analyzed using Poisson regression (CI 95%) which was necessary to evaluate the associated factors and the OHRQoL of the oral health problems studied. In order to determine the trend of prevalence the Chi-square for trend test was used for a significance level of 5%. In the population studied, it was found that the prevalence of DC, TDI, ETW was 20.3%, 20.1% and 51.3% respectively. Enamel fracture (72.7%) was the most prevalent TDI. ETW lesions were most prevalent in the upper incisors being the most lesions in enamel only (83.3%). The Factors associated with DC were age and having 2 or more children in the family, for TDI the factors were age and presence of anterior open bite and/or increased overjet and for ETW the factors were drinking soft drink or juice more than 3 times a day, keeping the drink in the mouth without swallowing or using baby\'s bottle, report of gastroesophageal reflux and living with the father only. Findings show decreasing, increasing and stationary trends in the prevalence of DC, TDI and ETW respectively. When evaluating the impact on the OHRQoL, it was observed that DC (PR: 3.09; p <0.001) as well the presence of complicated TDI (PR: 2.10; p=0.048) had a negative impact on the OHRQoL. As a result, in the population studied, there is a decreasing in the prevalence of DC, an increasing trend in the prevalence of TDI and a high and stable prevalence of ETW. DC and the presence of complicated TDI were associated with worse OHRQoL of preschool children and their parents or caregivers.

The data were collected by means of intraoral clinical examination, being written down in a chart treatment the type of prostheses, hygiene form, frequency and time of use of the prostheses, type of lesion and description of the same one. After surgical removal of the lesions, the pieces were led to the histopathological analysis, in the Buccal Pathology Laboratory of the UFPB, to confirm the clinical diagnosis. All the patients were submitted to the mycologic examination, being the harvested samples of the palatal mucous and the surface of the prostheses, with swabs. After, they were carried to the Mycology Laboratory of the UFPB. When compared the clinical diagnosis with the histopathological diagnosis, it can be observed that it had a correlation between the results, but in 03 (16,8%) cases of HFI and 02 (40%) cases of HPI the histopathological diagnosis was not compatible with the clinical diagnosis. In the clinical diagnosis of prostheses-induced stomatitis it had rightness of 90,6% (23 cases) in the mycologic examination, while the negative clinical diagnosis the 73,3% (11 cases) rightness. It was concluded that the presence of other unrelated injuries to the use of prostheses (Oral squamaus papilloma, pyogenic granuloma) reflects a bigger attention of the surgeon-dentist as for the distinguishing diagnosis of these buccal lesions, requesting, whenever possible, the histopathological and mycologic examinations, for definitive diagnosis. / O objetivo deste estudo foi fazer uma correlação entre diagnósticos clínico, histopatológico e micológico de lesões bucais, em pacientes portadores de próteses dentárias, a fim de verificar o grau de concordância entre os mesmos. Foram examinados 47 indivíduos, de ambos os gêneros, atendidos no Serviço de Saúde do Centro Odontológico Cruz das Armas (COCA), em João Pessoa PB, no período de janeiro a agosto de 2009. Os dados coletados, através de exame clínico intrabucal, foram anotados em uma ficha clínica, e consistiram do tipo de prótese usada, da forma de higiene, freqüência e tempo de uso da prótese, tipo de lesão e descrição da mesma. Após remoção cirúrgica das lesões, as peças foram encaminhadas para análise histopatológica, no Laboratório de Patologia Bucal da UFPB, para confirmação de diagnóstico clínico. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos ao exame micológico, sendo as amostras colhidas da mucosa palatina e da superfície da prótese, com swabs esterilizados. Em seguida, foram transportadas para o Laboratório de Micologia da UFPB. Quando comparado o diagnóstico clínico com o diagnóstico histopatológico, pode-se observar que houve uma correlação entre os resultados, porém, em 03 HFI (16,8%) e 02 HPI (40%) o diagnóstico histopatológico não foi compatível com o diagnóstico clínico. No diagnóstico clínico de estomatite protética houve acerto de 90,6% (23 caos) no exame micológico, enquanto o diagnóstico clínico negativo o acerto foi de 73,3% (11 casos). Concluiu-se que a presença de outras lesões não relacionadas ao uso da prótese dentária (papiloma escamoso oral, granuloma piogênico) reflete uma maior atenção do cirurgião-dentista no que se refere ao diagnóstico diferencial dessas lesões bucais, solicitando, sempre que possível, os exames histopatológico e micológico, para diagnóstico definitivo.

Introduction First described in 2002, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ, or avascular necrosis of the jaw) is an uncommon but potentially serious side effect of treatment with bisphosphonates. Although typically identified in patients with multiple myeloma and other malignancies, a few cases have been reported in patients taking bisphosphonates - a potent drug class used in the treatment of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption issues, including postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma, and malignant hypercalcemia. The clinical diagnosis of ONJ can be obscured by jaw pain, abscess, swelling, and fistulas, but exposed bone is a distinctive sign. This reports a case of ONJ secondary to bisphosphonate use in a 65-year-old woman and clinical management complications. Case Presentation A 65-year-old lady with history of age-related osteoporosis and compression fractures on alendronate for 4 years, squamous cell carcinoma of neck status post excision and radiotherapy 11-years prior, Sjogren's syndrome and discoid lupus on hydroxychloroquine, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and multiple dental abscesses presents with persistent neck pain. Initial CT neck with contrast showed diffuse fat stranding. Subsequently, alendronate was discontinued due to jaw necrosis suspicion. Eight months later, repeat CT scan showed new non-mass-like soft tissue thickening in the subcutaneous fat abutting the right anterior mandible with mandibular teeth cavities and periapical lucencies, likely to be periodontal cellulitis versus radiation osteonecrosis. Later, patient complained of a piece of bone penetrating the skin of her chin and presented with continuous drainage from sinus tract in her mandible, which was diagnosed as osteonecrosis attributed to bisphosphonates, previous radiation therapy, and dental abscesses. Patient was started on abaloparatide, an osteo-anabolic medication for osteoporosis and enrolled in hyperbaric oxygen therapy which immensely helped in controlling sinus drainage. Patient is currently awaiting mandibular reconstruction surgery. Discussion ONJ, often associated with pain, swelling, exposed bone, local infection, and pathologic fracture of the jaw, is a rare complication of bisphosphonate therapy. Currently, no prospective data exists to advise the benefits of therapy discontinuation however most clinical practices tend to discontinue at least temporarily. The incidence increases with longer treatment duration, particularly when therapy exceeds four years. Risk factors for developing ONJ while taking bisphosphonates include IV administration, anticancer therapy, dose and duration of exposure, dental extractions/implants, glucocorticoids, smoking, diabetes, and preexisting dental disease. Case reports and series suggest benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy in wound healing, pain, and quality of life at three months, however no significant differences exist with outcomes beyond three months. Patients being considered for therapy with a bisphosphonate should be thoroughly evaluated for dental issues, prior to initiating therapy. Conservative management with limited debridement, antibiotic therapy as needed, and topical mouth rinses rather than aggressive surgical resection are recommended. Conservative therapy may result in healing in a significant proportion of patients. Surgical resection of necrotic bone should be reserved for refractory or advanced cases. Providers should remain cautious while prescribing high doses of bisphosphonates in patients with increased risk factors to prevent, timely diagnose and treat this condition.

Background: Oral and dental diseases is a major part of the global disease burden. Poor oral health has a significant impact on the general well-being of people. In contrast with prior decades high rates of oral diseases may be found in low- and middle income countries. Populations that are particularly vulnerable are more likely to develop poor oral health. As a consequence of human distress related to war, poverty and natural disasters the accomplishments of humanitarian aid organizations has a direct impact on people´s health and well-being. Purpose: The aim of the present study is to examine the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement as well as Doctors without borders concerning documents and guidelines on oral health. A further aim is to explore the knowledge of oral health related topics of delegates from the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). Method: The study is designed as a literature review and a questionnaire survey. Results: Within the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and Doctors Without Borders there are a limited number of guidelines on oral health and they are rarely mentioned in the same documents as non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The responses of the study revealed that the participants generally have a limited knowledge about measures on oral health in the IFRC. Conclusion: Both the literature review and the questionnaire survey study confirms that there is an absence of clear and specific guidelines on oral health care related activities within IFRC. / Bakgrund: Mun- och tandsjukdomar utgör en stor del av den globala sjukdomsbördan. Dålig mun- och tandhälsa har en stark påverkan på det allmänna välbefinnandet. I motsats till tidigare, ses idag höga frekvenser av karies även i låg- och medelinkomstländer. Populationer vilka befinner sig i extra utsatta kontexter löper större risk att utveckla dålig munhälsa. Som en följd av mänskligt lidande i form av händelser relaterade till krig, fattigdom och naturkatastrofer har aktiviteter utförda av humanitära hjälporganisationer en direkt inverkan på hälsa och välbefinnande. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie är att studera dokument och riktlinjer rörande munhälsa inom Internationella Röda korset och Röda halvmånen och Läkare utan gränser. Ett ytterligare syfte är att undersöka kunskapen om hälsorelaterade frågor kring munhälsa hos delegater från Internationella federationen för Röda Korset och Röda Halvmånen (IFRC). Metod: Studien är utförd som en litteratur-sammanställning och som en enkätundersökning. Resultat: Inom Internationella Röda korset och Röda halvmånen samt Läkare utan gränser återfinns begränsat antal riktlinjer rörande oral hälsa vilka dock sällan nämns i samma dokument som icke-smittsamma sjukdomar (NCDs). Av enkätsvaren i studien framgår det att de medverkande generellt har en begränsad kunskap kring åtgärder rörande munhälsa inom IFRC. Konklusion: Deltagarna i denna studie bekräftar resultaten i litteraturstudien om en avsaknad av tydliga och konkreta riktlinjer för munhygienrelaterade aktiviteter inom IFRC.

A presença de doenças e desordens bucais pode produzir um impacto na qualidade de vida de crianças pré-escolares e de seus pais, influenciando na saúde oral e bem-estar geral destas pessoas. Além disso, os fatores socioeconômicos podem confundir esta associação e, no entanto, isso ainda não tem sido testado nesta idade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto da Cárie Precoce na Infância (CPI), Traumatismos Dentários (TD) e Tipos de Maloclusão Anterior (TMA) na Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde Bucal (QVRSB) de crianças entre 2 e 5 anos de idade e de seus pais, ajustados por fatores socioeconômicos, bem como, avaliar a presença destas condições clínicas bucais em associação a estes mesmos fatores. Pais de 260 crianças responderam ao Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) (06 domínios) sobre suas percepções em relação à QVRSB de seus filhos e suas condições socioeconômicas. Dois examinadores calibrados (Kappa=0,8 para CPI; 0,9 para TD e 1,0 para TMA) avaliaram a gravidade da CPI através do índice ceo-d (WHO, 1997) e as crianças foram categorizadas em: 0=livres de cárie; 1-5 =baixa gravidade; 6=alta gravidade. Os TD foram avaliados de acordo com a Classificação de Andreasen e Andreasen (1994) e as maloclusões de acordo com a presença de dois TMA, mordida aberta anterior e sobresaliência maior que 4 mm. A QVRSB foi mensurada através dos escores por domínios e total do ECOHIS. A regressão de Poisson foi realizada para associação dos fatores com QVRSB. Crianças mais velhas tiveram risco significativamente maior de desenvolver CPI, enquanto que ser menina, possuir renda familiar mensal mais alta e ter mães mais velhas, e que trabalham fora do lar, foram fatores de proteção para CPI (p<0,05). Nenhuma das condições socioeconômicas foi estatisticamente associada aos TD e TMA (p>0,05). Nos 6 domínios e no escore total do ECOHIS, a gravidade da CPI apresentou impacto negativo na QVRSB (p<0,001). Os TD não mostraram impacto negativo na QVRSB no escore total do ECOHIS, mas foi encontrada associação significante no domínio de auto-imagem e interação social no que diz respeito às lesões nos tecidos periodontais e alterações de cor. Os TMA não mostraram impacto negativo na QVRSB (p>0,05). Quanto maior a idade da criança, maior a aglomeração na casa, menor renda familiar e se a mãe trabalha fora do lar, maior o impacto negativo na QVRSB (p<0,05). O modelo multivariado ajustado mostrou que a alta gravidade da CPI (RR=3,81; IC95%= 2,66 - 5,46; p<0,001) está associada ao maior impacto negativo na QVRSB, sendo a alta renda familiar um fator de proteção (RR=0,93; IC95% 0,87 - 0,99; p<0,001). A gravidade da CPI apresenta um impacto negativo na QVRSB de crianças pré-escolares e de seus pais, enquanto que os TD e TMA não apresentam. As famílias de alta renda familiar relataram uma melhor QVRSB independentemente da presença de doenças e desordens bucais. / The presence of oral diseases and disorders can produce an impact on quality of life of preschool children and their parents, affecting their oral health and well-being. However, socioeconomic factors could confound this association, but it has not been yet tested at this age. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of Early Childhood Caries (ECC), Traumatic Dental Injuries (TDI) and Anterior Malocclusions Traits (AMT) on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children between 2 and 5 years of age and their parents adjusted by socioeconomic factors, and also to assess the presence of these oral clinical conditions in association to socioeconomic factors. Parents of 260 children answered the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) (6 domains) on their perception of the childrens OHRQoL and socioeconomic conditions. Two calibrated dentists (Kappa=0.8 for ECC; 0.9 for TDI and 1.0 for AMT) examined the severity of ECC according to dmf-t index (WHO, 1997) and children were categorize in: 0= caries free; 1-5= low severity; 6= high severity. TDI were examined according to Andreasen e Andreasen (1994) classification and malocclusions according to the presence of two AMT, anterior open bite and overjet greater than 4mm. OHRQoL was measured through ECOHIS domain and total scores and Poisson regression was used to associate the different factors to the outcome. Older children had significantly greater risk of developing caries, and girls were at less risk. A greater family income, older mothers, and if the mothers work away from home were also significantly protective factors for dental caries (p<0.05). None of the socioeconomic conditions were statistically associated to TDI or AMT (p>0.05). In each domain and overall ECOHIS scores, the severity of ECC showed a negative impact on OHRQoL (p<0.001). TDI did not show a negative impact on OHRQoL in the overall ECOHIS score, but significant association was found in the self-image/social interaction domain for injuries to the periodontal tissues and discoloration. AMT did not show a negative impact on OHRQoL nor in each domain (p>0.05). The increase in the childs age, higher household crowding, lower family income and mother working out of home were significantly associated with OHRQoL (p<0.05). The multivariate adjusted model showed that the high severity of ECC (RR=3.81; 95% CI= 2.66, 5.46; p<0.001) was associated to greater negative impact on OHRQoL, while high family income was a protective factor for OHRQoL (RR=0.93; 95% CI= 0.87, 0.99; p<0.001). The severity of ECC presents a negative impact on the OHRQoL of preschool children and their parents, whereas TDI and AMT do not. Families with higher income report better OHRQoL at this age, independent of presence of oral diseases and disorders.

Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health) / The oral health programme in Lesotho aims to offer curative, preventive, promotive and rehabilitative oral health services. However, observations as well as annual reports suggest that oral health service utilization is poor, as most patients only attend dental clinics with advanced stages of decayed teeth which can only be extracted. The reasons for this very undesirable late utilization of oral health services have not been systematically explored and understood in Lesotho. This makes it difficult for health planners to find solutions for improving access, utilizations and responsiveness of oral health services.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto da Cárie Precoce na Infância (CPI), Traumatismos Dentários (TD) e Tipos de Maloclusão Anterior (TMA) na Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde Bucal (QVRSB) de crianças entre 2 e 5 anos de idade e de seus pais, ajustados por fatores socioeconômicos, bem como, avaliar a presença destas condições clínicas bucais em associação a estes mesmos fatores. Pais de 260 crianças responderam ao Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) (06 domínios) sobre suas percepções em relação à QVRSB de seus filhos e suas condições socioeconômicas. Dois examinadores calibrados (Kappa=0,8 para CPI; 0,9 para TD e 1,0 para TMA) avaliaram a gravidade da CPI através do índice ceo-d (WHO, 1997) e as crianças foram categorizadas em: 0=livres de cárie; 1-5 =baixa gravidade; 6=alta gravidade. Os TD foram avaliados de acordo com a Classificação de Andreasen e Andreasen (1994) e as maloclusões de acordo com a presença de dois TMA, mordida aberta anterior e sobresaliência maior que 4 mm. A QVRSB foi mensurada através dos escores por domínios e total do ECOHIS. A regressão de Poisson foi realizada para associação dos fatores com QVRSB. Crianças mais velhas tiveram risco significativamente maior de desenvolver CPI, enquanto que ser menina, possuir renda familiar mensal mais alta e ter mães mais velhas, e que trabalham fora do lar, foram fatores de proteção para CPI (p<0,05). Nenhuma das condições socioeconômicas foi estatisticamente associada aos TD e TMA (p>0,05). Nos 6 domínios e no escore total do ECOHIS, a gravidade da CPI apresentou impacto negativo na QVRSB (p<0,001). Os TD não mostraram impacto negativo na QVRSB no escore total do ECOHIS, mas foi encontrada associação significante no domínio de auto-imagem e interação social no que diz respeito às lesões nos tecidos periodontais e alterações de cor. Os TMA não mostraram impacto negativo na QVRSB (p>0,05). Quanto maior a idade da criança, maior a aglomeração na casa, menor renda familiar e se a mãe trabalha fora do lar, maior o impacto negativo na QVRSB (p<0,05). O modelo multivariado ajustado mostrou que a alta gravidade da CPI (RR=3,81; IC95%= 2,66 - 5,46; p<0,001) está associada ao maior impacto negativo na QVRSB, sendo a alta renda familiar um fator de proteção (RR=0,93; IC95% 0,87 - 0,99; p<0,001). A gravidade da CPI apresenta um impacto negativo na QVRSB de crianças pré-escolares e de seus pais, enquanto que os TD e TMA não apresentam. As famílias de alta renda familiar relataram uma melhor QVRSB independentemente da presença de doenças e desordens bucais. / The presence of oral diseases and disorders can produce an impact on quality of life of preschool children and their parents, affecting their oral health and well-being. However, socioeconomic factors could confound this association, but it has not been yet tested at this age. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of Early Childhood Caries (ECC), Traumatic Dental Injuries (TDI) and Anterior Malocclusions Traits (AMT) on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children between 2 and 5 years of age and their parents adjusted by socioeconomic factors, and also to assess the presence of these oral clinical conditions in association to socioeconomic factors. Parents of 260 children answered the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) (6 domains) on their perception of the childrens OHRQoL and socioeconomic conditions. Two calibrated dentists (Kappa=0.8 for ECC; 0.9 for TDI and 1.0 for AMT) examined the severity of ECC according to dmf-t index (WHO, 1997) and children were categorize in: 0= caries free; 1-5= low severity; 6= high severity. TDI were examined according to Andreasen e Andreasen (1994) classification and malocclusions according to the presence of two AMT, anterior open bite and overjet greater than 4mm. OHRQoL was measured through ECOHIS domain and total scores and Poisson regression was used to associate the different factors to the outcome. Older children had significantly greater risk of developing caries, and girls were at less risk. A greater family income, older mothers, and if the mothers work away from home were also significantly protective factors for dental caries (p<0.05). None of the socioeconomic conditions were statistically associated to TDI or AMT (p>0.05). In each domain and overall ECOHIS scores, the severity of ECC showed a negative impact on OHRQoL (p<0.001). TDI did not show a negative impact on OHRQoL in the overall ECOHIS score, but significant association was found in the self-image/social interaction domain for injuries to the periodontal tissues and discoloration. AMT did not show a negative impact on OHRQoL nor in each domain (p>0.05). The increase in the childs age, higher household crowding, lower family income and mother working out of home were significantly associated with OHRQoL (p<0.05). The multivariate adjusted model showed that the high severity of ECC (RR=3.81; 95% CI= 2.66, 5.46; p<0.001) was associated to greater negative impact on OHRQoL, while high family income was a protective factor for OHRQoL (RR=0.93; 95% CI= 0.87, 0.99; p<0.001). The severity of ECC presents a negative impact on the OHRQoL of preschool children and their parents, whereas TDI and AMT do not. Families with higher income report better OHRQoL at this age, independent of presence of oral diseases and disorders.

Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur den orala hälsan påverkas hos patienter med gastroesofagael reflux sjukdom (GERD) med frågeställningarna: Förekommer orala sjukdomar och/eller kliniska tecken hos patienter med GERD? och Hur påverkas oral hälsorelaterad livskvalitet hos patienter med GERD? Metod: Sökningen av artiklar i denna litteraturstudie utfördes i tre databaser: Dentistry &amp; oral sciences source (DOSS), MEDLINE och CINAHL. Artiklarna vilka inkluderades i denna litteraturstudie var publicerade mellan åren 2011–2022 och besvarade studiens syfte samt frågeställningar. Totalt valdes 17 st relevanta artiklar till studiens resultat. Resultat:  Gastroesofagael reflux sjukdom (GERD) kan påverka den orala hälsan negativt samt minska individens livskvalitet på olika sätt, då den kan bidra till ökad risk för olika orala sjukdomar och tillstånd såsom karies, gingivit och parodontit. GERD kan även leda till tandsubstansförlust framför allt genom erosionsskador. Högre prevalens av munslemhinneförändringar, minskad salivsekretion, oral halitosis och ilningar kunde ses hos personer med GERD sjukdomen. Slutsats: Det finns ett samband mellan GERD och negativ påverkan på den orala hälsan, välbefinnandet samt oral livskvalitet. Mer forskning kring hur GERD påverkar den orala hälsan krävs, för att i framtiden kunna skapa hälsofrämjande och preventiva åtgärder som reducerar konsekvenserna av GERD på den orala hälsan. / Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate how the oral health is affected regarding patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with the focus on the following questions: Does oral diseases and/or clinical signs occur in patients with GERD? and How is oral health related quality of life effected in patients with GERD? Method: In this literature study the searching of articles was performed in three databases: Dentistry &amp; Oral Sciences Source (DOSS), MEDLINE and CINAHL. The included articles were published between 2011–2022 and were relevant to the aim of the study. In total there were 17 relevant articles selected for the study’s results. Results: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can adversely affect the oral health and reduce the individual's quality of life in different ways, as it can lead to an increased risk of different oral diseases and conditions such as caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. GERD can also lead to tooth surface loss, especially due to dental erosions. A higher prevalence of mouth mucosa changes, reduced saliva secretion, oral halitosis and tooth sensitivity were seen in people with GERD disease. Conclusion: There is a connection between GERD and a negative impact on the oral health, well-being, and oral quality of life. More research on how GERD affects oral health is required, in order to create health-promoting and preventive measures that reduce the consequences of GERD on oral health.
