Clinical Trial Summary

We aimed to compare the oral health status (dmft/DMFT index, IDCAS-II, BEWE, plaque index, gingival index, probing depth) between normal-weight (NW) and obese (OW) children/adolescents.

82 participants aged 6-16 years were concluded in this cross-sectional study. The children/adolescents were classified according to the body mass index (BMI): NW (n=41) and OW (n=41). Caries experience was assessed by the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II), decay, missing, filling teeth (dmft) for the primary teeth and (DMFT) for the permanent teeth, erosive tooth wear using Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE), Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index (GI), Probing Depth (PD).

Description:

Also, the relationship between procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), parathormone (PTH), and 25(OH)D blood biochemistry and oral health was evaluated in obese children/adolescents.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	the results of DMFT, plaque and gingival indies	The results of the study indicate that individuals with obesity tend to exhibit significantly higher scores for DMFT, plaque, and gingival index as compared to those with normal weight t significantly higher scores for DMFT, plaque, and gingival index as compared to those with normal weight (p<0.05)	12 months
Primary	the results of dmft, BEWE, ICDAS-II, probing dept	No significant difference was observed concerning dmft and other factors (p>0.05)	up to 12 months
Primary	Comparison of demographic attributes between obese and normal weights	Significant disparities were identified between patients with normal weight and those who were obese, particularly in BMI, income, and tooth brushing habits. Obese patients exhibited considerably higher BMI scores in comparison to those with normal weight (p<0.001).Body mass index (BMIs; kg/m2) was calculated by the pediatrician using the patients' height (meters) and weight (kilograms). BMI 5-85th percentile normal weight according to gender and age; BMI 85- 95 percentile overweight; Those at the 95th percentile and above were considered obese	12 months
Secondary	biochemical parameters of obese individuals	Procalcitonin exhibited significantly negative correlation between DMFT and ICDAS-II (p<0.05).	11 months
Secondary	other biochemical parameters of obese individuals	No significant correlation was found between the biomarkers and other investigated factors (p>0.05)	up to 11 months
