| Sumario: | Objective: to establish the relationships between the presence of Enamel development defects (EDD) in the temporary dentition, the Early Childhood Caries (ECC) and the nutritional status of children attending two centers for the prevention and treatment of child malnutrition, in Mendoza, Rep. Argentina. Materials and method: On a total of 307 children between 12 and 71 months of age (151 eutrophic and 156 with child malnutrition), with prior parental consent, dmft and dmfs were recorded according to ICDAS II categories of active caries 2 to 6, and presence/absence of EDD. Frequency distributions and nonparametric association tests with p≤ 0.05 were determined. Results: 47.6% of the children studied presented EDD, being more prevalent in children with malnutrition (X2=13.063; p= 0.00). A statistically significant association was recorded between the presence of DDE and dmfs (Mann Whitney U= 9945, p=0.015) and dmfs (Mann Whitney U= 10044.5, p=0.021). In the children who presented DDE (n=146), the malnourished group presented dmft values higher than the eutrophic group (Mann Whitney U=2034, p= 0.044). Conclusions: EDD were more prevalent in children with malnutrition, and were positively related in this study group with ECC. |
