Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study is to determine the association between Vitamin D status and development of early childhood caries (ECC) in Ahmedabad city. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 children aged between 3 and 6 years were divided into two groups (case and control, n = 40 each). A structured questionnaire was prepared which included basic information of the child; oral examination was done using decayed, missing, and filled teeth index to record caries status of each child. Blood samples were collected for serum analysis of 25(OH)D levels. Results: In case group, the mean serum 25(OH)D level was 12.07 ng/ml, and in control group, the mean serum 25(OH)D level was 20.15 ng/ml. Statistically significant difference was found between serum 25(OH)D levels in both the groups. Conclusion: The results showed that Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with ECC.
