Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to review the studies on association between dental caries and asthma in children. It evaluated the prevalence of dental caries and mechanisms involved including the use of inhaled drugs, bronchodilators and corticosteroids as a risk factor of dental caries in asthma children. The prevalence of dental caries is higher in asthmatic children and asthma may be a risk factor for the development of dental caries.
