Severe Early Childhood Caries (S-ECC) distresses well-being in childhood. The research aimed to define the relationship of vitamin D deficiency and SECC in pre-school age pediatric patients. This cross-sectional study was accomplished in Department of Pedodontics and Preventive / Basra University, college of dentistry. Two groups of 47 children aged from 2 and 6 years, each were involved in the study, and were categorized into two groups: cases and control. Intake of vitamin D was measured by analyzing 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels. The involvement of primary teeth caries was evaluated by index of decay-missing -filled teeth (dmft) and decayed-missing-filled rate (dmf). Statistical package for social science (SPSS-21) with descriptive statistics, Simple linear regression and coefficient of determination (R2), the level of significance indicates in 0.05. The results demonstrate that there is moderate negative strong highly significant correlation between caries experience of primary teeth surfaces and teeth with vitamin D except between filling surfaces and vitamin D, the result is weak negative not significant correlation. In conclusion, improving child's levels of vitamin D may be supplementary preventive concern to a lower risk of dental caries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
