Yamaguchi H et al. Japan, 2015 |
To evaluate if mouth breathing is associated with other types of diseases including atopic dermatitis through a questionnaire aimed at pre-school children in day care centers | PubMed; Google Scholar | Atopic dermatitis; mouth | 468 children Age: 2-6 years old -59 children with atopic dermatitis; -46 children with asthma; -61 children with allergic rhinitis |
Sectional | Daytime and nighttime (during sleep) mouth breathing in children with AD was associated with: history of allergic rhinitis, history of asthma, and family history of atopic dermatitis |
Javad G et al. Iran, 2015 |
To verify the colonization of Candida and the specific humoral response against Candida albicans in patients with atopic dermatitis | PubMed | Atopic dermatitis; mouth; oral pathology | - 100 patients with AD - mean age of 12.1 ± 11.5 years old; - 50 healthy subjects (control group) with a mean age of 39.9 ± 11.45 years old |
Sectional | There was no statistically significant difference in relation to: Candida colonization in patients with atopic dermatitis and those in the control group; and between the IgM and IgA serum levels of the patients and controls. Candida was isolated from the oral cavity of 23% of the patients with AD and 6% of the individuals in the healthy group. |
Leibovici V et al. Israel, 2007 |
To determine the presence of Candida in the following locations: armpit, tongue and groin of patients with psoriasis and compared to patients with atopic dermatitis and normal controls. | PubMed | Atopic dermatitis; mouth; dental disorders | - 100 adult patients with psoriasis aged from 18 to 84 years old; - 100 adult patients with AD aged from 18 to 83 years old; - 100 normal controls aged from 18 to 80 years old |
Sectional | Low prevalence of Candida on the tongue of patients with atopic dermatitis (18%) compared to patients with psoriasis (32%) and normal controls (21%). |
Igawa K, Nishioka K, Yokozeki H Japan, 2007 |
To verify if a odontogenic focal infection is an aggravating factor in atopic dermatitis | PubMed | Atopic dermatitis, mouth; dental disorders | - 43 adolescent and adult patients aged from 13 to 62 years old and with chronic AD | Cohort | Patients with AD and an odontogenic focal infection had a greater improvement after 3 months of dental treatment compared to patients who did not have odontogenic focal infection but who received dental treatment. |
Mizawa M et al. Japan, 2013 |
To evaluate salivary cortisol levels in patients with atopic dermatitis and to compare them with a healthy control group | PubMed | Atopic dermatitis | - 30 patients with AD aged from 15 to 62 years old; - 42 systematically healthy individuals aged from 31 to 54 years old (group control) |
Sectional | The salivary cortisol levels of patients with atopic dermatitis were significantly higher than those of the control group |
Perugia C et al. Italy, 2015 |
Verify the possible correlation between atopic dermatitis and oral manifestations in pediatric patients; | PubMed | Atopic dermatitis; caries | 300 children (from 2 to 17 years old) - 90 children (30%) with AD; -210 children without AD |
Sectional | Children with AD presented: - medical history of spoil habit (76%); - presence of dental caries (56%); - dental malocclusion (64.4%). |
