ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the caries experience of children with exogenous obesity. Method: An observational, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted involving children aged 6 to 12 years with exogenous obesity, who were diagnosed at the Obesity Clinic of the Pediatrics Unit of the General Hospital of Mexico. Intraoral examination was performed at the hospital’s Department of Pediatric Dentistry. The indexes used were the dmft and DMFT, based on the criteria established by Klein and Palmer. The legal and ethical principles for medical research set forth in the Declaration of Helsinki were adhered to, and the statistical analysis was descriptive. Results: The population comprised a total of 40 children, in whom caries prevalence in primary and permanent dentition was, respectively, 71 and 22%. For the total population, the average dmft was 1.4 and the DMFT was 0.37. Conclusion: Children with exogenous obesity present a reduced number of teeth with caries experience, lower than the national average
