Evaluation of the Relationship Between Dental Caries and Growth Parameters in Preschool Children
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Untreated dental caries are very common in preschool children. Pain and inflammation due to dental caries have been reported to affect eating and sleeping disorders, affecting growth and development. The aim of this study was to compare the changes in serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels, height and weight gain before and after treatment in patients with dental caries-related inflammation and pain in preschool children and to compare these children with children without dental caries. Thirty children aged between 3-6 years with dental caries with pulp were identified using ICDAS II and dmft index as the study group.30 children dental caries including pulp, will be included using the same indices as the control group. In the study group, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels and anthropometric measurements will be determined before and at the 6th month after treatment. In the control group, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels and anthropometric measurements will be determined at the 6th month following the first dental examination. IGF-1, IGFBP-3 and anthropometric measurements will be compared between first dental examination and 6th month values in the study and control groups, and between first dental examination and 6th month time points between the groups.

Detailed Description
In addition to growth parameters, the Children's Sleeping Habits Questionnaire and the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale will be compared before the 6th month of dental treatment and compared

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Growth parameters [before dental treatment]
In the study group, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels and anthropometric measurements will be determined before and at the 6th month after treatment. In the control group, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels and anthropometric measurements will be determined at the 6th month following the first dental examination. IGF-1, IGFBP-3 and anthropometric measurements will be compared between first dental examination and 6th month values in the study and control groups, and between first dental examination and 6th month time points between the groups.
- Growth parameters [6 months after dental treatment]
In the study group, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels and anthropometric measurements will be determined before and at the 6th month after treatment. In the control group, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels and anthropometric measurements will be determined at the 6th month following the first dental examination. IGF-1, IGFBP-3 and anthropometric measurements will be compared between first dental examination and 6th month values in the study and control groups, and between first dental examination and 6th month time points between the groups.

- Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire [a week after dental treatment]
In the study group Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment.In the control group Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment
- Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire [6 months after dental treatment]
In the study group Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment.In the control group Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment
- Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale [before dental treatment]
n the study Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment.In the control group Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment
- Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale [a week after dental treatment]
n the study Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment.In the control group Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment
- Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale [6 months after dental treatment]
n the study Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment.In the control group Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale will be compared before, after the a week and 6th month of dental treatment
