Background : It has been realized that good nutrition is interdependent with good health, and the protein is the most important nutrient because it regulates the key process within the body, so if any deficiencies in protein occur this will lead to protein-energy malnutrition which is evaluated by using anthropometric measurements(height and weight).
When PEM begins it affects adversely various aspects of growth and increase the severity of oral problems later.
It has been reported that dental caries and enamel defect occur in malnourished children more than well nourished.
The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional status of children by physical examination and its effect on dental caries and enamel anomalies in relation to gender.
Materials and methods : This study was conducted among urban primary school children aged 6 years in Sammawa City which lies 300 Km south of Baghdad, were clinically evaluated to determine the prevalence of dental caries and enamel anomalies in relation to protein energy malnutrition.
The sample size composed of 300 children distributed in primary schools which were randomly selected from different areas in Sammawa City.
The samples were examined physically by anthropometric measurements (weight and height) and orally for dental caries and enamel defects.
Results : The malnourished children with mild grade was the most prevalent grade in this study, males showed malnutrition more than females within the same age group, dmfs and DMFS according to nutritional status indicators were higher among malnourished children than well nourished group, the enamel opacities was higher in females than in males regarding gender differences and according to nutritional status indicators was higher among well nourished children than malnourished group in both primary and permanent dentition.
Conclusion : The prevalence of malnutrition was higher in boys than in girls, also the prevalence of dental caries was higher in malnourished children when compared with well nourished children, while enamel opacities was present only in well nourished children when compared with malnourished group, it was absent in malnourished children.
