Summary

Untreated dental caries are very common in preschool children. Pain and inflammation due to dental caries have been reported to affect eating and sleeping disorders, affecting growth and development. The aim of this study was to compare the changes in serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels, height and weight gain before and after treatment in patients with dental caries-related inflammation and pain in preschool children and to compare these children with children without dental caries. Thirty children aged between 3-6 years with dental caries with pulp were identified using ICDAS II and dmft index as the study group.30 children dental caries including pulp, will be included using the same indices as the control group. In the study group, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels and anthropometric measurements will be determined before and at the 6th month after treatment. In the control group, serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels and anthropometric measurements will be determined at the 6th month following the first dental examination. IGF-1, IGFBP-3 and anthropometric measurements will be compared between first dental examination and 6th month values in the study and control groups, and between first dental examination and 6th month time points between the groups.
