Abstract
- BACKGROUND: Celiac disease is a common gastrointestinal autoimmune disorder. Studies have shown that the prevalence of tooth decay is high in patients with celiac disease. This study was performed to evaluate the serology of celiac disease in children with dental caries. METHODS: Children aged 3 to 12 years who referred to the dental clinic with enamel caries were included in the study. Celiac disease was assessed by measuring serum IgA levels and anti-TTG (Anti TTG (IgA)) antibodies. Then, by analyzing the collected data, the prevalence of celiac disease in children with dental caries and its relationship with various variables were investigated. RESULTS: 120 children, 56 girls (46.7%) and 64 boys (53.3%) with dental caries were involved in this study. The positive celiac serology rate of studied population was 14 (11.6%). Based on the results of this study, a significant relationship was obtained between maternal education, sex and place of residence and celiac disease (p< 0.05). There were no significant relationships between celiac positive serology in children with dental caries, the number of decayed teeth, and breastfeeding (p> 0.05). CONCLUSION: The present study showed that dental caries, might be a red flag indicating possible celiac disease and prevent its complications. On the other hand, pediatricians and dentists should be aware of the oral symptoms of celiac disease. Further studies are needed to plan screening for children with celiac disease.
