Abstract:
Abstract Dental caries is a public health problem that impacts oral health related to quality of life (OHRQoL). This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of dental caries in children by associating clinical and socio-dental indicators. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 2 to 6-year-old children who attended public day care centers in a city in the Southeast Region of Brazil. After sample calculation, 446 children were randomly selected by eligibility criteria. Two professionals evaluated dental caries using WHO (2013) criteria and classified subjects according to early childhood carie

Abstract:
In the introduction to Chapter 1 it was stressed that in order to decide whether a disease is a public health problem it is important to be able to answer some key questions about it. Is the disease widespread? Is it on the increase? What individuals or groups appear to be susceptible? Do we know what causes it? Can it be prevented? What is the impact of the disease on the individual and society? The epidemiology of oral diseases can provide some detailed answers to these important questions. This chapter will present a brief overview of trends in oral diseases for children and adults in the UK. It will focus on periodontal disease, oral cancer, and dental caries, but there is also a brief section on dental trauma and erosion. Dentofacial anomalies, per se, are not diseases but will be included here, as their prevalence and incidence have implications for dental care because of the impact on social and psychological well-being. The impact on health will be presented. The problems of oral health inequality will be reviewed and the implications of trends in oral diseases for dental care in the UK will be discussed. There are many surveys describing the oral health of children and adults in the UK, with decennial national surveys of both groups since 1973. Scotland has not participated in the two most recent surveys, children in 2003 and adults in 2009. In these surveys all dental examiners are trained and calibrated, so that the diagnostic criteria are consistent and national trends can be identified. See Chapter 5 for a brief description of the importance of standardization of diagnostic criteria. In addition, the British Association for the Study of Community Dentistry (BASCD) undertakes surveys of the oral health of children within the districts of the UK; again, examiners are trained and calibrated and changes in trends in oral health across smaller areas can be monitored at shorter intervals than in the 10-yearly national surveys. Details of these surveys, including diagnostic criteria, can be found at http://www.bascd.org/oral-health-surveys. Current concepts in relation to periodontal disease have changed considerably in the last 20–30 years. The traditional ‘progressive’ disease model has been replaced by the ‘burst theory’. That is, periodontal diseases have short ‘bursts’ of activity followed by long periods of remission and healing (Goodson et al. 1982; Socransky et al . 1984).

Abstract:
Fluoride has made an enormous contribution to declines in dental caries (Kidd 2005; Murray and Naylor 1996). Fissure sealants are a proven preventive agent. This chapter provides a brief overview of the history of fluoride and presents a brief synopsis of the mode of action, method of delivery, safety, and controversies in the use of fluoride. A public health perspective on fissure sealants will also be presented. An account of the history of fluoride can be found in Kidd (2005) and Murray et al. (2003) and is summarized in this section (see Box 12.1 for key dates). In 1901, Frederick McKay, a dentist in Colorado Springs, USA, noticed that many of his patients, who had spent all their lives in the area, had a distinctive stain on their teeth known locally as ‘Colorado stain’. McKay was puzzled and called in the assistance of a dental researcher G.V. Black. They found that other communities in the USA had the characteristic mottling. Their histological examination of affected teeth showed that the enamel was imperfectly calcified, but that decay in the mottled teeth was no higher than in normal teeth. McKay suspected that something in the water supply was producing the brown stain, and more evidence came from Bauxite, a community formed to house workers of a subsidiary of the Aluminium Company of America (ALCOA). A local dentist noticed that children in Bauxite had mottled teeth, whereas children in nearby Benton did not. McKay investigated the problem but was unable to find a cause for the staining when the water supply was tested. In 1933, Mr H.V. Churchill, Chief Chemist for ALCOA (anxious that aluminium would not be blamed for the mottling), analysed the water and found that the fluoride ion concentration in the water supply of the Bauxite community was abnormally high (13.7 ppm). He tested other communities affected by mottling which had been previously identified by McKay and found that they too had high levels of fluoride present in the water supplies.

Abstract:
Injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries around the world. It is estimated that, of the total burden of global disease, just over 12% is attributable to injuries (WHO 2008). Depending on the cause, injuries can be divided into unintentional and intentional. Two-thirds of the global burden of injury is classified as unintentional and these are mainly caused by road traffic injuries and falls. Intentional injuries are caused by violence. The term ‘accident’ is discouraged, as this suggests that chance or bad luck are the main causes of the harmful event (Davis and Pless 2001). Injuries are in fact predictable and preventable in most cases. The multiple and interacting causes of injury provide a good example of the broader determinants of health. Injuries are not solely caused by the behaviour of individuals. Instead, the underlying influences and causes of the behaviour, the broader context, need to be understood. Hanson et al. (2005) have proposed an ecological approach that describes three key dimensions: the individual, the physical environment, and the social environment. A better understanding of the true causes of this major global public health issue will help to inform more effective intervention strategies. In dentistry, increasing clinical and public health interest has focused on the issue of traumatic dental injury (TDI). This chapter will present an overview of the epidemiology of TDI. The impact of the condition will be highlighted and the key aetiological factors identified. A critical appraisal of treatment and preventive approaches will be presented and an alternative public health approach will be outlined. Data on the extent and severity of TDIs are rather limited in comparison to the amount of information available in relation to dental caries and periodontal diseases. Comparisons between populations is also hampered, as surveys often use different methods to measure and assess TDIs. A recent review of the global literature indicated that amongst pre-school children approximately one-third had suffered TDI in the primary dentition (Glendor 2008 ). It was estimated that a quarter of all school children and almost a third of adults had suffered trauma to the permanent dentition, although significant variations existed both between and within countries.

Abstract:
Oral diseases are largely preventable but are still highly prevalent. What is going wrong? Why have oral diseases not been eradicated? The answer to these questions is not straightforward. As highlighted in Chapter 2, a complex array of factors influence the health status of individuals and populations. Many of these factors are outside the control of health professionals and the health service. If oral diseases are to be prevented, it is necessary to have a strategy or a plan to tackle the determinants. This chapter discusses the principles of strategy design with reference to prevention. First, it considers the basic principles that need to be addressed when preparing any strategy. Second, it examines the various approaches that can be taken when considering prevention and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each. It looks at issues concerning selection of population groups and individuals through screening, and considerations involved in designing a strategy to tackle a major oral health problem. The existence of a strategy implies that there is an organized plan to reach a goal. In this sense, designing preventive strategies is similar to other health care planning. The same essential elements must be present (Box 4.1). It is important to have a clear vision of what you are trying to achieve and how it is planned to get there, otherwise it is unlikely that the goal will ever be realized. The first stage is to identify the aim of the project. What is to be achieved? The second stage is to identify the objectives of the project. What are the various steps that will eventually mean that the aim is reached? To formulate the aims and objectives of a programme it is necessary to collect data to provide information. Asking a series of questions can facilitate this. These data will include the following. What is the problem that is to be addressed? Is it, for example, caries in pre-school children or early identification of oral cancer? What is the natural history of the disease? What are its aetiology, risk factors, and predisposing factors? What is its epidemiology? Is the incidence increasing, decreasing, or stable? How important is the disease within the population? It may be important in two ways: it may affect many people within the population or it may affect few people but be of major impact.

Abstract:
Dental caries is still one of the most prevalent pathological conditions in the child population of most Western countries. A UK study of children aged from 1.5 to 4.5 years demonstrated that 17% have decay, and a more recent survey of 3-year-old children in England found 12% to have decay with up to a third of 3-year-olds affected in the worst areas of the country (Public Health England 2014). Although the most recent surveys show a slow decline in decay levels, on average 25% of five-year-old children have decay, peaking at over 50% in the worst affected parts of England. Dental caries is associated with significant morbidity in children, and the treatment of dental caries (and its sequelae) is currently the most common reason for administration of general anaesthesia (GA) to children in the UK. Successfully managing decay in very young children presents the dentist with a number of significant challenges. This chapter will outline approaches to the management of the preschool child with dental caries. Early childhood caries (ECC) is a term used to describe dental caries presenting in the primary dentition of young children. Terms such as ‘nursing bottle mouth’, ‘bottle mouth caries’, or ‘nursing caries’ are used to describe a particular pattern of dental caries in which the upper primary incisors and upper first primary molars are usually most severely affected. The lower first primary molars are also often carious, but the lower incisors are usually spared—being either entirely caries free or only mildly affected. Some children present with extensive caries that does not follow the ‘nursing caries’ pattern. Such children often have multiple carious teeth and may be slightly older (3 or 4 years of age) at initial presentation. This presentation is sometimes called ‘rampant caries’. However, there is no clear distinction between rampant caries and nursing caries, and the term ‘early childhood caries’ is widely recognized as a suitable all-encompassing term. In many cases, ECC is related to the frequent consumption of a drink containing sugars from a bottle or ‘dinky’ type comforters (these have a small reservoir that can be filled with a drink).

We discuss child health in Japan over recent decades and consider some of the important public health problems for children and adolescents which remain to be solved. The maternal and child health system, school lunch programme, and improvements in quality and diversity of children’s diets led to increased growth and taller adults. Prevalence of dental caries has declined although water fluoridation is not used in Japan. Contemporary problems include increase in incidence of low birth weight, vaccination hesitancy, including human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination. Economic recession has had an impact on levels of poverty and inequality, and on child health, especially weight-gain and obesity. There have been recent increases in the child suicide rate, and reports of child maltreatment and bullying.

Abstract:
Dental caries remains the single most important oral condition treated by the dental profession on a daily basis. From a public health perspective, the prevention of caries is still therefore a major challenge. As outlined in Chapter 4 , before effective prevention can be delivered the cause of the condition needs to be fully understood. In addition, the disease process should be clear. This chapter will review the evidence on the aetiology of dental caries and present an overview of preventive measures that can be adopted at an individual clinical level, as well as community wide. Dental caries occurs because of demineralization of enamel and dentine structure by organic acids formed by oral bacteria present in dental plaque through the anaerobic metabolism of dietary sugars. The caries process is influenced by the susceptibility of the tooth surface, the bacterial profile, the quantity and quality of saliva, and the presence of fluoride which promotes remineralization and inhibits the demineralization of the tooth structure. Caries is a dynamic process involving alternating periods of demineralization and remineralization. However, the majority of lesions in permanent teeth advance relatively slowly, with an average lesion taking at least 3 years to progress through enamel to dentine (Mejare et al. 1998). In populations with low DMF/dmf levels, the majority of carious lesions are confined to the occlusal surfaces of the molar teeth. At higher DMF/dmf levels, smooth surfaces may also be affected by caries (Sheiham and Sabbah 2010). Many different terms have been used to name and classify sugars. This has caused a degree of confusion amongst both the general public and health professionals. In recognition of this, an expert UK government committee—Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy (COMA)—has recommended a revised naming system, which has now become the standard classification of sugars in the UK (Department of Health 1989). The COMA classification is based upon where the sugar molecules are located within the food or drink structure. Intrinsic sugars are found inside the cell structure of certain unprocessed foodstuffs, the most important being whole fruits and vegetables (containing mainly fructose, glucose, and sucrose).
