There are few studies present in the literature.

The present study was conducted on 105 six- to fourteen year-old asthmatic children to determine the condition of the dental caries and their periodental status. Before and after taking antiasthmatic medication for a period of 1 year and these were matched with their countries, The results showed that salbutamol inhaler shows inceased caries rate with high significance over other groups, which was followed by salbutamol tablets and beclamethasone inhaler respectively.
