Abstract

Abstract Objective: Based on scientific evidence, the objective of the present study is to report the possible risks and benefits of the amber teething necklace for children who use it. Data source: This is an integrative literature review, carried out based on the following guiding question: “Does the amber teething necklace have therapeutic properties that justify its usage during tooth eruption?”. The consulted databases were LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature) and PubMed (National Center for Biotechnology Information), with the following descriptors: “Amber,” “Deciduous teeth,” “Strangulation,” and “Local symptoms.” Data synthesis: A total of five scientific articles were selected, which indicates an insufficient basis regarding the benefits associated with the use of the amber teething necklace. Conversely, there is a convergence regarding the possibility of health risks such as strangulation, asphyxiation, and swallowing of beads. Conclusions: Health professionals should discourage the use of the amber teething necklace by children insofar more studies on the topic are carried out.

儿童使用琥珀出牙项链:风险与收益

摘要目的:基于科学证据，本研究的目的是报告琥珀出牙项链对儿童使用的可能风险和益处。数据来源:这是一项综合文献综述，基于以下指导问题:“琥珀出牙项链是否具有治疗特性，证明其在牙齿出牙期间的使用是合理的?”咨询的数据库是LILACS(拉丁美洲和加勒比健康科学文献)和PubMed(国家生物技术信息中心)，描述符如下:“琥珀色”、“乳牙”、“绞勒”和“局部症状”。数据综合:总共选择了五篇科学文章，这表明关于使用琥珀出牙项链的好处的基础不足。相反，关于勒死、窒息和吞下珠子等健康风险的可能性也有一致看法。结论:卫生专业人员应该劝阻儿童使用琥珀出牙项链，目前对该主题进行了更多的研究。
