Abstract
Background: Health-related outcomes in children can be associated with parental practices.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate if parent-child interactions and stimulation are predictive of oral health-compromising behaviors at the age of 5 years.
Design: This longitudinal study investigated oral health-compromising factors at the age of 5 years as the outcome: sugar intake between meals more than once a day, no dental appointments or appointments only for treatment, unavailability of the mother to brush her child's teeth, and the presence of dental plaque. Exposure was child stimulation at 24 months. The association was tested using ordinal logistic regression, yielding odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: A total of 1128 children were evaluated, and 46.2% had four or five positive interactions/stimulation practices. More than 80% of the mothers reported that their children had a high sugar intake and had never been to a dentist for treatment. Children with low stimulation had 1.29 greater odds of changing from no health-compromising behaviors to one or more (OR 1.29 95% CI 1.02-1.64) than those with high stimulation.
Conclusion: High parent-child interaction and stimulation were associated with lower scores of oral health-compromising practices at the age of 5 years.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide.
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
