Abstract
Objective The objective of this scoping review is to map the extent and type of evidence in relation to the association between maternal health conditions, including multimorbidity and child oral health. Introduction Child oral health research has historically focussed on toothbrushing, diet and neglect of care, including not taking children to dental appointments. Newer theories are emerging that detail the many factors that can influence child oral health at child, family and community levels 1 . More recently, the association between maternal general health and child oral health has been explored, with preliminary evidence suggesting a link between shared environmental factors and direct maternal-to-child transfer of bacteria and diet/substance use during pregnancy causing childhood caries 2,3 . Inclusion criteria This review will include all published studies that describe the relationship between maternal health (including multimorbidity) and child oral health. There will be no limitation on the date of publication due to the limited number of studies available from the initial search of PubMed. The review will exclude case studies, abstracts, and grey literature. Literature must be in English language. Methods The following databases will be searched; CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Maternity and Infant Care, Medline via PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science. The search will include sources in English only and will be undertaken between April and July 2024. Studies to be included will be of any type of study design that describe a relationship between maternal health factors, including maternal oral health, and child oral health. Data extraction will be undertaken using tabulation of results by at least two independent reviewers. Narrative analysis of the evidence will be undertaken, and results will be presented in a narrative and tabular manner due to the heterogenous and limited evidence base found in the test search. This review has been registered prospectively on Open Science Framework, (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/ECSWJ). The review will also inform an Evidence Gap Map (EGM) to illustrate the current evidence base regarding maternal health factors that influence child oral health.
