- Abstract
The nutritional condition of the population, particularly in early childhood, is an indicator of their quality of life, which is seen in the physical, intellectual and emotional development of individuals, as closely related to their health conditions, as well as, among others, food, socioeconomic, environmental and cultural factors. Therefore, the nutritional condition plays an important role in the oral health condition. On the other hand, malnutrition -which is defined as any alteration of the nutritional conditions, including both alterations caused by excess (overweight and obesity) and alterations caused by deficiencies (malnutrition)--might affect the development of the oral structures if occurring at early age. Based on that, knowing the effects of malnutrition on the oral health conditions and its potential clinical manifestations, both intraoral and extraoral, in undernourished children, was deemed to be important. The objective of this analysis was to determine the presence of tooth anomalies possibly associated with malnutrition in children, through a critical analysis of literature, based on the publication of original posts in national and international indexed magazines, during the 2000-2012 period.
