Oral health in Egyptian children with short stature
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at the mouth and teeth of children aged 6-12 who are shorter than average for their age, to see if short stature is linked to any oral health issues. It may help doctors understand how growth affects oral health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have short stature, meaning they are much shorter than other children their age (below -2 standard deviations).
- The short stature must be confirmed by a pediatric endocrinologist (a specialist in growth and hormones).
- Your child must not have any syndrome like Turner or Down syndrome.
- Your child must not have chronic diseases like kidney, heart, or endocrine problems (other than short stature itself).
- Your child must not be taking long-term medications that affect growth or oral development.

This study looks at how Egyptian children's teeth and bites line up, to see if they might need braces or other orthodontic care. It's an observation study, so no treatment is given—just a check-up to understand dental needs.
This study looks at your child’s growth history and performs genetic testing to better understand why some children are very short. It may help researchers identify possible underlying causes and improve care, using blood samples from the child and both parents.
This study looks at the size and shape of baby (primary) teeth in healthy Egyptian children, and checks their dental health. It may help dentists understand normal tooth measurements, which could be useful for future treatments or fillings.
This study looks at how common a certain enamel problem (called hypomineralized second primary molars) is in Egyptian children. It will help dentists understand how often this condition affects children and may lead to better dental care.
This study uses digital tools to measure the size of baby teeth in healthy children. It helps dentists understand normal tooth dimensions for better dental care.
This study looks at children's tooth sizes to help predict how their teeth fit together. It may help your child by giving dentists a better way to plan treatment.
