Abstract

Caesarean section has been shown to affect the health of the child. Only a few studies have investigated whether the mode of delivery is associated with dental caries, and they present conflicting results. Our study investigated whether dental caries was associated with delivery method in Swedish preschool children. This retrospective register-based cohort study included all children born from 2000 to 2003 who were residing in Stockholm County, Sweden, at 3 y of age (n = 83,147). The study followed the cohort until individuals were 7 y of age. Children examined at 3 and 7 y constituted the final study cohort (n = 65,259). We dichotomized the key exposure "delivery starts by caesarean section" and analyzed it in univariate analyses as well as in multivariate analyses. The multivariate analyses used 3 outcomes: caries experience at age 3 (deft >0 [decayed, extracted, and filled teeth]), caries increment between 3 and 7 y of age (Δdeft > 0), and caries experience at age 7 (deft > 0). Of the final cohort, 15% (n = 9,587) were delivered by caesarean section. At 3 y of age, the results showed no statistically significant association between caesarean section and caries experience (odds ratio = 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.8...Continue Reading
