Children with a CHD The main risks and conditions

caused by odontogenic CHD have
limited antibiotic

children with a CHD is more important than ever
 Aims and objectives
The aims of this study were to: describe the •
patterns of oral-health-related background factors
in children with and without CHD and explore any
differences, and to evaluate the effects of
background factors on caries and gingivitis
.prevalence and dental services utilisation
Study design and sampling
Sample size •
The sample size was calculated initially to estimate •
the number of children needed to detect
differences in caries between children with and
.without CHD
The estimated sample size was 60 CHD cases and •
60 controls in each age group

The data were collected through individual face-to- •
.face interviews with the children’s caregivers

because CHD cases were not easily available to
complete the desired sample size within the study
period
Draw conclusions

of CHD cases versus 2.7% of controls reported 19% •

a history of hospitalisation, whereas 46.8% of CHD
cases versus 45.6% of controls reported antibiotic
