Preterm births are which occur prior to 37 weeks gestation and in developed Western nations it comprise approximately 6 per cent of all live births. Along with having many serious medical problems, it has been hypothesized that the development of oral tissues may get affected in the neonatal period. In preterm children, a high prevalence (around 40-70%) of generalized enamel hypoplasia had been found in previous studies in the primary dentition and it is plausible to be associated with low bone mineral stores. Other than enamel hypoplasia, crown dilacerations, and palatal distortions are other defects that are frequently observed in preterm children which are usually associated with traumatic laryngoscopy and prolonged endotracheal intubation. The incidence of ECC (International Caries Detection and Assessment System: ICDAS ≥ 2) was also found to be high in low birth weight children. The etiology behind this is multifactorial but maternal factors, maternal factors might play the role of contributing factors. The current review would analyse the dental anomalies in preterm children in depth which might have significant implications in monitoring possible anomalies and in treatment intervention can be done at an early stage. Key words: Premature birth, Very low birth weight, Dental defects, Enamel hypoplasia.

Background Cerebral palsy is an irreversible yet preventablecondition, thus it is necessary to know the risk factors of thedisease. The potential risk factors that are found in the perinataland neonatal period i.e. asphyxia, sepsis, very low birth weight,premature birth, and neonatal seizure. No available data for therisk factors of cerebral palsy in Indonesia.Objective To identify the perinatal risk factors in cerebral palsy.Methods We performed an age and sex-matched nested case-control study. The case group was children with cerebral palsywho were born at Sardjito Hospital during 1997-2005. The controlgroup was selected from the same population as the case group.Risk factors during the perinatal period consisted of asphyxia,sepsis, very low birth weight, premature birth and neonatal seizure.Logistic regression was used to determine the association betweenrisk factors and cerebral palsy.Results Univariate analysis showed that the following factors wererisk factors for cerebral palsy, i.e., asphyxia (OR 5.6, 95%CI 2.48;12.53); premature birth (OR 4.5; 95%CI 1.55; 13.13); and neona-tal seizure (OR 7.5, 95%CI 3.13; 18.03). On multivariate analysisrisk factors associated with cerebral palsy were asphyxia (aOR6.3, 95%CI 2.42; 16.66) and neonatal seizure (aOR 10.9,95%CI4.03; 29.97).Conclusion Asphyxia and neonatal seizure are significant riskfactors of cerebral palsy in perinatal period

ABSTRACTIt is not well understood how grammar emerges in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) children. The main aim of the present study was to gain information on the emergence of grammar in this group at 2 ; 0. The Finnish version of the Communicative Development Inventory was used to collect data from VLBW children (N = 156) and full-term controls (N = 146). At a group level, the grammatical skills of the VLBW children were significantly weaker than those of the controls. However, when the effect of lexicon size and premature birth on the emergence of grammar was analyzed in detail, few significant differences were found between the groups. The results suggest that even though grammar emerges more slowly for the VLBW children, it emerges in a manner comparable to that of the controls, when the effect of lexicon size is taken into consideration.

The aim of this long-term longitudinal study in Taiwan was to estimate and compare the prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) and to identify the age of CP diagnosis of term-born and preterm children with different birthweights. Records of 1494 extremely low birth weight (ELBW, <1000 g), 3961 very low birth weight (VLBW, 1000–1499 g), 19,612 low birth weight (LBW, 1500–2499 g) preterm, and 100,268 matched term-born children were retrieved from Taiwan′s National Health Insurance Research Database. According to a 12-year retrospective data review, the results showed the highest prevalence of CP in preterm ELBW children (147.3 cases per 1000 neonatal survivors), followed by preterm VLBW (97.2 cases), preterm LBW (27.7 cases), with the lowest prevalence in term-born children (2.5 cases). Regardless of the birthweight group, 90% of preterm children with CP were diagnosed by 4 years of age, but it was 7 years before 90% of term-born children with CP were diagnosed. After removing the children whose CP was caused by brain infections, injuries, or cerebrovascular accidents after 4 months of age, there were similar mean ages at the initial CP diagnosis (1.58–1.64 years of age) across birthweight groups born prematurely, but initial diagnosis occurred at an older age (2.41 years of age) in term-born children. The results indicate that birthweight is reversely correlated with the prevalence of CP in preterm children. Although the three preterm birthweight groups received different types of developmental follow-up programs after birth, it did not influence their age at the initial diagnosis of CP. Furthermore, we suggest that follow-up for at least 4 years after birth for preterm children, and 7 years for term-born children, is optimal for estimating CP prevalence. In order to identify and provide early intervention for term-born children with CP earlier, it is suggested that parents routinely fill out a self-reported motor developmental screening questionnaire and pediatricians conduct a motor developmental examination on term-born children at each time of scheduled vaccination injections.
