Abstract

Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the oral health, hygiene status, and prevalence of dental anomalies in children suffering from congenital heart disease (CHD).

Material and methods: The study was conducted on 300 children, aged 2-16 years, diagnosed with CHD.

Results: Overall, the oral health status of the children with CHD was found to be poor in this study. The prevalence of caries was found to be 56.7%. It was significantly higher in children with acyanotic CHD compared to cyanotic CHD. Mean DMFT was 0.6 ± 1.6. Mean Debris index was 0.8 ± 0.9. Mean calculus index was 0.3 ± 0.6. The prevalence of dental anomalies was 9%. Most common anomaly was enamel opacities/hypoplasia (8.0%) followed by hypodonita (0.7%) and fusion (0.3%). The mean dmft score and Calculus Index were found to be significantly higher in cyanotic CHD group compared to acyanotic CHD group. Prevalence of caries, Debris Index, Calculus Index, and Oral Health Index were found to be increasing with increasing age (> 5 vs. < 5 years).

Conclusion: Overall, the oral health status of the children with CHD was found to be poor in this study.

当代先天性心脏病患儿的口腔健康状况和牙齿畸形。

目的：本研究旨在评估先天性心脏病（CHD）患儿的口腔健康、卫生状况和牙齿畸形发生率：研究对象为 300 名确诊患有先天性心脏病的 2-16 岁儿童：研究发现，患有先天性心脏病的儿童总体口腔健康状况较差。龋齿发病率为 56.7%。与发绀型先天性心脏病患儿相比，无釉质先天性心脏病患儿的龋齿发病率明显较高。平均DMFT为0.6 ± 1.6。平均牙石指数为 0.8 ± 0.9。平均牙结石指数为 0.3 ± 0.6。牙齿异常发生率为 9%。最常见的畸形是釉质缺损/发育不全（8.0%），其次是牙列不齐（0.7%）和融合（0.3%）。发现紫绀型先天性心脏病组的平均 dmft 评分和结石指数明显高于无紫绀型先天性心脏病组。龋齿患病率、残渣指数、结石指数和口腔健康指数随着年龄的增长而增加（大于 5 岁 vs. 小于 5 岁）。结论：龋齿患病率、残渣指数、结石指数和口腔健康指数随着年龄的增长而增加：总体而言，本研究发现患有先天性心脏病的儿童口腔健康状况较差。
