Brief Summary: Prevalence of Dental Caries in a group of Egyptian children and its relation to TV and other screens time and sugar consumption Observational cross-sectional study
Detailed Description: Dental caries are considered by the World Health Organization as a major public health problem globally and the most widespread non-communicable disease

Similar with other conditions that are described as non-communicable diseases NCDs dental caries develops as the result of a combination of genetic physiological environmental and behavioral factors

The commonly accepted risk factors for dental caries include dietary habits eg sugary snacks poor oral hygiene microbiological factors and low socioeconomic status

Watching TV during mealtime has a negative impact on childrens dietary quality as it is associated with higher consumption of ultraprocessed foods

It was found that having the TV on at mealtimes reduces diet quality with more high-fat high-sugar foods and fewer fruits and vegetables and increased consumption of sugar sweetened beverages

Overconsumption of sugar has been associated with increased risk of excessive weight gain dental decay poor diet quality and nutritional inadequacy in children and adolescents younger than 19 years
