Abstract :
Down’s syndrome (DS) is the most common cause of hereditary intellectual impairment in humans. DS is also associated with characteristic facial features that are believed to have oral health effects. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries among the DS population in Saudi Arabia.
A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, and Medline through Clarivate and EBSCO to identify potentially eligible publications. Rayyan QCRI analysis tool was used for duplicate detection, and study screening, whereas Review Manager (RevMan Computer program Version 5.4) the Cochrane Collaboration, 2020. was used to conduct a random-effects meta-analysis on prevalence data and DMFT scores. Data was synthesized, both, qualitatively and quantitatively (presented as forest plots).
The search resulted in 267 studies, of which seven studies were included with a total population of 565. The pooled DMFT score among the DS population in Saudi Arabia is 4.88 (95% CI: 3.66 – 6.09), and the pooled prevalence of dental caries was 73% (95% CI: 52% – 93%). High levels of heterogeneity were observed in both analyses (I2 = 91%, and 96%, respectively).
Our study reports a relatively high dental caries prevalence among the DS population in Saudi Arabia. Pooled DMFT score for permanent teeth among our study sample was higher than those reported by other meta-analyses conducted on the disease-unrestricted populations in Saudi Arabia.
Keywords: Down’s syndrome; dental caries; Saudi Arabia, DMFT, tooth decay, meta-analysis.
