INTRODUCTION

• DTE: problems / dental development

• hold space

• align into correct position

• chew and speak

• Influence factors

04/21/23 4

INTRODUCTION

• Secondhand smoking (SHS)

• Negative effect

• Common in Thai males

• High prevalence (29.8%) of SHS

04/21/23 5

OBJECTIVE

04/21/23 6

To determine whether SHS during pregnancy period delayed

the time of first tooth eruption in Thai infants

METHODS – Study Design

• Part of PCTC

• Large birth cohort study: 4,300 infants, 5 sites in Thailand

• October 15, 2000 and September 14, 2002

04/21/23 7

• Inclusion criteria:

• accessible year-round

• 800 to 900 newborns on average each year

• intend to live 5 years

• long-term commitment with the project

04/21/23 8

METHODS – Study Design

• Family members

• In-person interview, diary records, medical records

• Secondary data – community and demographic variables

04/21/23 9

METHODS – Study Design

• Informed consent

• The National Ethics Committee of the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand

• Khon Kaen University Ethics Committee for Human Research

METHODS – Study Design

Independent variables

•SHS during pregnancy: Yes/No•Number of cigarettes: • 0• 0 < CIG < 50th percentile• 50th percentile +

Outcomes

•DTE: Yes/No

•Time to eruption of the first tooth

METHODS – Independent variables and outcomes

METHODS – Potential bias

• Parents’ education level

•Mother’s age

• Child’s gender

• Birth weight

04/21/23 12

METHODS – Statistical Analysis

• Description analysis

• Pearson regression

• Cox proportional regression

• Generalized estimating equation

• Stata SE 12.0

• p-value < .05

DISCUSSION

• The time of first tooth eruption was delayed in SHS women

• Biological plausible

• Consistent with other previous studies

• Similar with the study of Adler et al.

• Lawoyin et al. – Opposite relationship between BW and time of first tooth eruption.

04/21/23 20

DISCUSSION – Strength

• Strongest observational design

•Multiple risk factors

• Large birth cohort study

• National representative

•Minimal loss to follow-up

04/21/23 21

DISCUSSION – Limitation

• Information bias – trained and calibrated the interviewers

• Potential confounding factors – adjusting

• Causal inferences – suspect

• Change of association over time?

04/21/23 22

CONCLUSION

• SHS in Thai pregnant women was associated with delayed time of the first tooth eruption in infants up

•Many problems in the dental and nutritional development of infants

• Further studies
