ANALYSIS OF SOME FACTORS AFFECTING THE TEMPORARY TEETH ERUPTION

Abstract

Purpose of the research was to study the frequency of occurrence of the temporary teeth eruption syndrome and the influence of some factors on its manifestations. Materials and methods used: children aged 4 months to 2 years and 5 months old living in the North-East Administrative Okrug of Moscow with health profile I, II groups who applied with symptoms of undesirable local and general manifestations of temporary teeth eruption were examined in 2022 on the basis of the Moscow City Children's Polyclinic No. 125 of the Moscow Department of Healthcare (Moscow, Russia) as part of preventive dental examinations. Results: during dental examinations of 250 children with symptoms of temporary teeth eruption it was revealed that only 214 (86%) were diagnosed with teething syndrome (ICD-10 K00.7). A statistically significant relationship was found between the incidence of difficult temporary teeth eruption and deviation from the average body weight (BW) at birth in children with low and high BW (R^2=0.836, p<0.001; R^2=0.880, p<0.001). Analysis of the nature of children feeding and the frequency of occurrence of difficult temporary teeth eruption showed statistically significant relationship in children who were bottle-fed (R^2=0.987, p<0.001) and mixed-fed (R^2=0.971, p<0.001). Conclusion: the results of a clinical study of children confirm the high incidence of difficult teeth eruption as well as the effect of birth weight and the type of feeding on the incidence of difficult teeth eruption.
