- Asthma and atopic dermatitis are associated with an increased risk of dental caries, with odds ratios of 1.44 and 1.09, respectively.
- Allergic rhinitis showed no significant association with dental caries risk (OR = 1.01).
- Asthma and atopic dermatitis patients had higher DMFT scores, indicating greater caries severity in permanent teeth.
- Mendelian randomization suggests a potential causal link for asthma increasing caries risk (OR = 1.09), while atopic dermatitis showed a non-significant trend.
