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 caries (ECC) severity. Parents/care- givers answered a characterization questionnaire and self-reported socio-dental indicator (B-ECO-HIS). The prevalence of dental caries was 33.7%. The children with high severity of ECC had 5 times higher chance of suffering an impact on OHRQoL. The one way ANOVA test showed that the impact on OHRQoL (ECOHIS scores) was associated with ECC. The outcome dental caries in oral health presented high prevalence as clinical indicator and high impact on OHRQoL as socio dental indicator. Clinical and socio-dental indicators should be evaluated together.

Introduction: Dental caries and malnutrition is a public health problem, concentrated more among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between malnutrition and dental caries among 6, 10 and 12 years children in Mangalore. Materials and Methods: Data about oral health status and body mass index of children of age groups 6, 10 and 12 were collected using a cross-sectional design. Anthropometric measurements and oral examinations were carried out. Statistical test was performed to look for categorical associations between BMI categories and dental caries prevalence and to see if any correlation exists between BMI Score and dental caries severity. Results: The Pearson correlation test result suggested children with less BMI score tend to have more caries affected teeth than children with normal BMI. Conclusions: Physicians and dentists treating young children should consider malnutrition as a risk marker for childhood caries. Inclusion of BMI calculation in the standard dental evaluation of any pediatric patient can provide a screen for prevention, timely diagnosis, and treatment of the children suffering from dental caries and malnutrition.

Background: Previous research involving 100 children in the East Surabaya area reported a caries prevalence data of 89.5% with a Decayed, Missing due to carries, Filled Teeth index (DMFT) value of 5.42 (high category). In January–June 2018, only 373 out of 4,072 school-age children visited the Keputih Public Health Center. The dental visits were motivated out of dental health problems only. Parents, especially mother, should pay attention to their child’s dental and oral health because they are in the primary tooth period, which will significantly affect the growth of their permanent teeth. Purpose: The illustration book in Surabayan dialect was the means to disseminate information on dental and oral health for children and parents, particularly mothers, to motivate regular dental visit and prevent dental caries. Methods: The parents received the illustrated book, and they were given some time to read and answer the questions. After that, the mothers were asked to assist their children in filling out the illustration book. The targets were improved understanding on the subject matter, which is dental and oral health, and to motivate the parents and children to have regular dental visit. Results: There was > 75% increase in understanding of the subject matter before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The intervention successfully improved the parents’ understandings in the subject matter, and it was expected to motivate parents and their children to have regular dental visits in Keputih Public Health Center.

Introduction: Dental caries is a highly prevalent and a significant public health problem affecting 70% to 95% of children, including adults in member states of the South East Asia region. Epidemiological data on the prevalence of dental caries amongst Bhutanese children at the national level is non-existent. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal status, traumatic dental injuries and fluorosis in 6-and 12-year-old school children.
 Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey in two age groups of school children in Bhutan was conducted in 2014. A total of 2904 students participated in the survey. A multistage cluster random sampling method was adopted that included samples from both urban and rural schools. The assessments for dental caries and periodontal conditions were done as per modified WHO methodology and criteria. Dental trauma and fluorosis were identified as present or absent irrespective of severity levels.
 Results: Dental caries prevalence was 41.90% and 83.80% with mean DMFT/ dmft 0.80 and 5.54 for 12-and 6-year-olds respectively. Urban students had more caries than their rural counterparts. Overall, 13.00% of 12-year-olds had healthy gingiva but more calculus was detected in rural children. Dental trauma and fluorosis were very low (0.01% to 5.00%) in both the age groups.
 Conclusions: Caries prevalence was very high in 6-year-olds while periodontal status in 12-year-olds was poor. Rural school children had lower caries levels compared to their urban counterparts. Imparting oral health awareness among parents can lower caries severity in younger children.

Full textAbstract:
Teeth are body tissues that are easily damaged. Dental caries will occur if there is lack of treatment. Mother has an important role to provide guidance and supervision of the incidence of dental caries in children of school aged 6-12 years. This study aims to determine the relationships between mother’s role with the incidence of dental caries school aged childrenn (grade 1 -3). This study used a quantitative research method with a cross sectional approach. Simple random sampling is used to gather data from 85 mother and children. The mother’s role was collected using 30 items questionnaire, and observation sheets used fordental caries incidence. The result indicates that more than half role of mothers is categorized as poor (52.9%) and good (47.1%). The observation showed that children who experienced dental caries were 85.9% and those who did not experience dental caries were 14.1%. The results of the chi test showed no relationship between the role of the mother and the incidence of dental caries (p value 0.248 (> 0.05). It is recommended for Public Health Center and nurses to conduct health promotion on dental health, and for schools to carry out regular toothbrush activities at least once every three months and carry out regular dental checks at least every six months.

Abstract Dentists should be alert not only to clinical variables, but also to socioeconomic, psychological and cultural factors, which have all been associated with the experience of dental caries. The aim of this study of was to assess social status and dental experience among Brazilian children. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1367 male and female children aged six and seven years enrolled at public and private schools in the city of Recife (Brazil) in 2013. The children at tending public schools were socioeconomically less privileged than those attending private schools. Data were collected through interviews and intraoral examinations. Caries experience was high (53.3%) in the overall sample, but less privileged children had larger percentages of decayed teeth and teeth that required extraction (p < 0.001). Children from less privileged social class had a greater chance of having a low (OR = 1.77 [95%CI 1.33 - 2.35]), moderate (OR = 4.41 [95%CI: 3.18 - 6,14]) and high (OR = 9.55 [95%CI 6.01 - 15.16]) caries experience. They also had a greater chance of never visiting a dentist (OR= 2.90 [95% CI 2.25 - 3.74]) and had dental anxiety (OR = 1.70 [95%CI 1.34-2, 16]). Socioeconomic status influences the dental caries experience, the visits to the dentist and the dental anxiety of the children analyzed.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Effective delivery of dental services must be based on reliable information regarding the prevalence and severity of disease in the target population. Evaluation of the various factors known to influence the severity and progression of disease is essential for health policy makers to promote oral health resources and address oral health needs. Objective: The overall aim of this research is to describe the situation of dental caries and investigate the associations of level of oral health knowledge, teeth irregularity, BMI and other life style variables (TV viewing, internet use, passive smoking and dietary habits) with dental caries, including the impact of socio-demographic factors amongst school children in Qatar. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Qatar from October 2011 to March 2012. A total of 2,113 children aged 12-14 years were randomly selected from 16 schools from different areas. Clinical examination was conducted by three calibrated examiners using World Health Organization criteria for diagnosing dental caries. Teeth irregularity was determined clinically according to a method described by Björk et al (1964). A pre-tested and structured questionnaire was used to assess oral health knowledge and life style data. Data analyses were performed. Results: The mean decayed, missing and filled teeth index values was 4.62 (±3.2), 4.79 (±3.5), and 5.5 (±3.7), respectively, for the 12, 13 and 14 year old children. The caries prevalence was 85%. The mandibular incisors and canines were least likely to be affected by dental caries, while maxillary and mandibular molars were the most frequently attacked by dental caries. Of the total sample, only one quarter reported a high level of oral health knowledge. There were more incidences of teeth crowding (44.1%) than teeth spacing (9.5%). The overall prevalence of underweight, overweight, and obesity was 5%, 10%, and 5% respectively. Almost half of the children spent > two hours watching television and 46% spent > two hours using internet. Approximately 35.8% of children had exposure to passive smoking. Concerning dietary habits, 99.4% of children consumed sugar containing snacks in between meals. Approximately 65% consumed sugar containing snacks within one hour of bed time. Almost 49.1% skipped eating breakfast regularly and 22.7% skipped eating lunch regularly. Around 83.8% consumed diary snacks in between meals. Overall, 74.2% drank tea in-between meals and 80.1% chewed gum in-between meals. All variables were affected by socio-demographic factors, but significant differences were found in female children in that they were more at risk to dental caries than male children. Also, children who resided in semi-urban areas were more at risk to dental caries than children who resided in urban areas. The occurrence of dental caries is significantly associated with the level of oral health knowledge, teeth irregularity, and other life style variables. Conclusion: The need to reduce sedentary behaviors and to promote a more active and healthy lifestyle is becoming increasingly essential in Qatar. Implementation of a community-based preventive oral health programs on a healthy diet and practices of adequate oral hygiene should be promoted in schools through integration into the school curriculum and services to combat the growing problem of dental caries.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the effect of geographic location on Severe Early Childhood Caries (S-ECC) in Native American Children three years of age from a Norther Plains Tribal Community. Geographic location of study participants was ascertained by postal district and categorized into geographic regions as well as dental clinic accessibility, defined as dental services present or absent in that district. The association of location category and dental caries (dmfs) was evaluated cross-sectionally at 36 months of age.
Descriptive statistics demonstrated differences in dental caries distribution by geographic region and accessibility category. Bivariate analysis of disease by location showed a significant difference in dmfs between 4 geographic regions (p=0.0159) but not between accessibility categories (p=0.0687). Multivariable regression modeling for geographic region demonstrated the unique effect of geographic region on dental caries experience as well as five other key risk factors. Incident Rate Ratios (IRR) were computed for each of the risk factors, including number of erupted teeth (IRR=1.89, p=0.0147), fluoride exposure from tap water (IRR=1.70, p=0.0173), annual family income (IRR=1.58, p=0.0392), maternal DMFS (IRR=1.02, p=0.0040), and Mean Adequacy Ratio (IRR=1.05, p=0.1042).
This study demonstrated statistically significant variation in cumulative dental caries experience of Native American children aged 36 months among geographic regions and identified the specific unites of association through multivariate modeling. These findings can be used for local dental caries prevention programs and contribute to a broader understanding of S-ECC among very young Native American children.

Full textAbstract:
Clinical Research and Translational Medicine<br>M.S.<br>Background: Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is one of the most common chronic illnesses among young children, affecting around 23% of children 2-5 years old, leading to pain, discomfort, and poor quality of life. It is a multi-factorial disease that develops through the combined effects of bacteria, tooth morphology, fermentable carbohydrates, time, and various social factors. Several studies have investigated the associations between dental caries and non-traditional factors acquired during the first years of life including; mode of delivery, breastfeeding, and Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS). However, the literature on these associations has been inconsistent. Objective: To investigate the unadjusted and adjusted associations between the presence of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) and Severe-ECC (S-ECC), and three non-traditional factors: breastfeeding, mode of delivery, and ETS, among children 1-5 years old. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, and a sample of 112 caregiver/ child dyads was recruited from the ongoing flow of patients at Temple University Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry (TUKSoD). After consent, subjects completed a questionnaire and received a standard intra-oral examination and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) Caries-risk Assessment Tool (CAT) by a student doctor. The study was approved by the Temple University Institutional Review Board (Protocol # 23885). Chi-square tests, two-sample t-tests and bivariate logistic regressions were used to assess the unadjusted associations. Two multivariable logistic models were developed for ECC and S-ECC and included demographics, overall CRA, and the three non-traditional risk factors. Results: The prevalence of ECC and S-ECC were 61% and 30%, respectively. The following variables were significant in the unadjusted analysis for both ECC and S-ECC: child’s age, maternal educational attainment, overall AAPD CAT classification, sugary snacks per day, presence of plaque on child’s teeth and ETS. Exposure to ETS was associated with an increased adjusted odds ratio for ECC (aOR=5.39 [95% CI: 1.14-25.33], P=0.033), but not for S-ECC. Furthermore, C-section birth was associated with a decreased adjusted odds ratio for both ECC and S-ECC, respectively (ECC: aOR=0.132 [95% CI: 0.02-0.72], P=0.02; S-ECC: aOR=0.141 [95% CI: 0.026-0.748], P=0.021). With inclusion of the AAPD CAT, demographics, and the three non-traditional factors, the overall model accuracy at predicting ECC was 82.2%. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance: In this study of urban, predominantly African American, and low income children, ECC was found associated with two non-traditional factors, ETS and mode of delivery, suggesting that including them in CRA may improve prediction of future dental caries, and aid in the prevention and treatment of disease. Results from this study support the notion that ECC is a multi-factorial disease, and highlights the importance of adopting oral health education among caregivers.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: The objective of the quantitative research was to estimate the prevalence of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) and severe Early Childhood Caries (s-ECC) and the severity of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) in the primary dentition of young children in Ajman, UAE, and investigate their association with child and family characteristics, dietary habits, fluoride use, oral hygiene practices and dental services utilization. The purpose of the qualitative research was to obtain information that could explain some of the findings of the quantitative stage in order to progress towards determining a strategy to control ECC in this population.
Methods: A two-stage cluster sample was used to randomly select children aged 5 or 6 years old who were enrolled in public or private schools in Ajman, UAE. Clinical examinations for caries were conducted by a single examiner using WHO criteria. Parents completed questionnaires seeking information on child and family characteristics, dietary habits, oral hygiene, fluoride use and dental service utilization. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk markers and risk indicators for caries experience. To complement the quantitative findings, the second (qualitative) stage of the research was conducted with six chosen groups of mothers from different educational backgrounds and different nationalities. Each group contained between six and ten mothers - some of whose children had been examined in the quantitative section of the project. The mothers were invited to comment on the significance for them of those risk indicators identified in the earlier section of the research. The manual thematic coding method of analysis was used. Problems concerning the dental health of children were identified based on the results of both stages.
Results: The total number of children sampled was 1297. Dental examination and questionnaire data were obtained for 1036 (79.9%), of whom 50.0% were female. The prevalence of ECC in 5- and 6-year-old children was 72.9% (95% CI, 61.8, 83.9) and 80.0% (95% CI, 76.0, 84.4) respectively, with mean dmft scores of 4.0 (sd, 4.1) and 4.9 (sd, 4.3) respectively (P<0.05). The overall prevalence of s-ECC was 31.1% (95% CI, 23.6, 38.9). Multivariate analysis indicated that frequency of snacking between meals per day, snack consumption level and the frequency of brushing had a significant effect on the severity of ECC, while only the snack consumption level and the frequency of brushing had a significant effect on plaque score. There was a strong association between plaque score and the severity of ECC. The total number of mothers who contributed to the qualitative study was 42. The findings of the qualitative stage showed that some mothers had a negative perception toward the primary dentition and unhelpful attitudes towards their children�s diets (through promoting a high consumption of cariogenic food), while the use of fluoride (other than in toothpaste) was rare. However, many mothers were in favor of bottled water fluoridation once they understood the benefits of such a scheme and supported the idea of a dental preventive program beng provided through their children�s schools.
Conclusions: The prevalence and severity of ECC in young children in Ajman is high, with child and family characteristics, dietary habits, oral hygiene practices and dental utilization being important determinants. Young children in Ajman would benefit from health promotion strategies directed towards appropriate dietary practices and oral hygiene measures framed within culturally specific guidelines.

Vice Chair, Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatric Dentistry
Purpose: This was a prospective randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of a preventive strategy following full-mouth dental rehabilitation (FMDR) in children with early childhood dental caries.
Methods: 130 patients completed FMDR and were included in the analysis. Caries risk assessment (CRA), dental exam, and a caregiver oral health knowledge (OHK) questionnaire was completed for each patient. Patients were randomized into two groups; intervention returned at 3 and 6 months and control returned at only 6 months post-surgery. At each recall, CRA and dental exam information was recorded, and at the six month recall, all caregivers completed the OHK questionnaire.
Results: Actual recall data showed a statistically significant difference in CRA at six months, with 71.8% of patients in the control and 44.8% of patients in the intervention assessed as high caries risk.
Conclusions: The actual recall data suggests this recall strategy is effective in reducing CRA level following FMDR.

Full textAbstract:
My PhD projects were secondary analyses of data from a prospective study conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Two cohorts of low socioeconomic status, African-American children from Perry County, Alabama, were invited to participate. Children in the 1st Cohort (Cohort 1, n=98) were approximately six years old at baseline and followed for 6 years, while children in the 2nd Cohort (Cohort 2, n=95) were approximately one-year-old at baseline and followed for five years.
For the first dissertation project, the prevalence and incidence of dental decay were assessed for children in Cohort 1. The findings of this report showed that 60-70% of the children had dental decay experience at each of the six annual exams. Approximately a third of the children had additional new tooth decay from age 6 to age 12.
For the second project, risk factors for time to dental decay occurrence were assessed using a relatively new analytic approach which allowed the use of time-dependent risk factors for children in Cohort 1. This was the first time for this analytic approach to be used in the dental literature, although it is widely used in medical research. The merit of using this technique was that, since dental decay risk factors can change with time, the value of the risk factor was allowed to change over time. The second project showed that about 29% of the children had their first permanent tooth decay event during the six-year follow-up. Final results showed that greater consumption of water, milk and 100% juice were associated with lower dental decay hazards, while greater consumption of added-sugar juice was associated with greater hazard of having an event.
The third PhD project was designed to assess the patterns of and the relationship between initial Mutans Streptococci detection and dental caries experience occurrence in African-American pre-school children with mean age of 1 year at baseline. The third project dealt with the MS variable as a “time-dependent variable”, using a statistical analysis called “Extended Cox hazards modeling”. To the knowledge of the author, this is the first published study which has used this relatively new analytic approach to assess the complex relationship between MS detection and dental caries experience.
In addition, in the third project, the behavioral risk factors for having a positive salivary MS test were assessed. This study found that median MS acquisition survival (when 50% of the children had positive salivary MS test) was 2 years and mean survival time was 2.09±0.09 among African-American children who had valid MS acquisition tests (n=99). Approximately 23% of the children did not have any positive salivary MS test by age 4 years. Multivariable analysis showed that not having a positive salivary MS test at any of the study exams was associated with having acute illness in the previous 6 months and being recruited into the study before 10 months of age. Results of extended Cox proportional hazards modeling showed a significant relationship between having a caries experience event at any given time during the follow-up period and having a positive salivary MS test at any point in time (HR=2.25, 95% CI 1.06-4.75).

Full textAbstract:
Currently, many developing countries are experiencing rising prevalences of caries associated with changes in lifestyle and living conditions. Objectives: To describe the hygiene, eating habits, and oral health status of Nepalese children. Materials and Methods: A stratifiedsample of 231 children 5–7, 11–13, and 15–16 years of age (53% boys, 47% girls) who attended public high schools in the rural area of the Lalitpur District, Nepal was selected. The study was a field study combining a clinical examination (plaque, gingivitis, calculus, and caries) and a questionnaire. The questions concerned sanitary conditions, health support, personal hygiene, tooth cleaning, and eating habits. Results: During the school day, half of the children ate nothing at all. General personal hygiene was associated with tooth-cleaning frequency.Four out of five children in the entire sample cleaned their teeth once/day or more, using their own toothbrush. The use of fluoride toothpaste was rare.More frequent tooth cleaning and lower plaque indices were seen among girls and older children. More plaque was found on the occlusal surfaces of erupting permanent molars than on fully occluded permanent molars. Most children had a low prevalence of manifest caries in the primary and the permanent dentitions. However, every fifth 5–7-yr-old had manifest caries in three or more primary teeth. The occlusal surfaces of molars accounted for almost all registered caries in both dentitions. Conclusion: Although the prevalence of manifest caries was low, the low level of preventive activities may cause an increase in the prevalence of caries, as in other developing countries. The presumed risk scenario needs to be met by comprehensive and systematic health promotion and preventive measures.<br>Sammanfattning: I många utvecklingsländer sker förändringar av livsstil och levnadsförhållanden med samtidig ökad förekomst av karies. Mål: Att beskriva hygien, matvanor och munhälsa hos nepalesiska barn. Material och Metod: Ett stratifierat urval av 231 barn, som i åldrarna 5-7, 11-13 och 15-16 år (53% pojkar, 47% flickor), elever i statliga grundskolor på landsbygden, Lalitpur distriktet Nepal, användes. Studien utformades som en fältstudie med klinisk undersökning (plack, gingivit, tandsten och karies) kombinerad med en enkätstudie. Frågorna rörde sanitära förhållanden, hälsostöd från hemmet, personlig hygien, tandrengörings- och matvanor. Resultat: Under skoldagen åt hälften av barnen ingenting alls. Allmän personlig hygien var associerad med tandrengörings frekvens. Av alla barn, som användande sin egen tandborste, borstade fyra av fem, en gång om dagen eller mer. Äldre barn och flickor rengjorde tänderna oftare och hade ett lägre plackindex. Mer plack fanns på erupterande molarers occlusalytor jämfört med molarer i full ocklusion. De flesta barnen hade en låg frekvens manifest karies i primära och permanenta bettet. Dock hade en femtedel av 5-7 åringarna tre eller fler manifesta kariesangrepp i primära bettet. Ocklusal karies på molarerna utgjorde nästan all registrerad karies i båda dentitionerna. Slutsats: Låg frekvens av manifest karies, men en låg grad av förebyggande aktiviteter, kan medföra en ökad kariesfrekvens liknande den i andra utvecklingsländer. Den förmodande risken måste bemötas med behovsinriktade och systematiska hälsobefrämjande och preventiva åtgärder.<br><p>ISBN 91-7997-151-2</p>

Full textAbstract:
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).

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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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).

Background: Early childhood caries can be prevent by promoting dental health behavior in school. The purpose of this study was to examine the determinants of caries preventive behavior in primary school children using Health Belief Model. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted at 25 primary schools in Klaten, Central Java, in September 2019. A total sample of 200 primary school students was selected for this study randomly. The dependent variable was dental caries preventive behavior. The independent variables were perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, percevied benefit, and perceived barrier. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Dental caries preventive behavior increased with perceived susceptibility (b= 0.88; 95% CI= 0.10 to 1.66; p= 0.026), perceived seriousness (b= 1.64; 95% CI= 0.53 to 2.75; p= 0.004), and perceived benefit (b= 1.05; 95% CI= 0.17 to 1.93; p= 0.190). Dental caries preventive behavior decreased with perceived barrier (b= -1.53; 95% CI= -2.81 to 0.26; p= 0.018). Conclusion: Dental caries preventive behavior increases with perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, and perceived benefit. Dental caries preventive behavior decreased with perceived barrier.

Background: Prevalence of decayed, missing, and filling teeth in children are high. Studies have indicated that health belief model in oral health education for increasing the likelihood of taking preventive oral health behaviors is applicable. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with dental and oral preventive health behavior among primary school children using Health Belief Model. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out at 25 elementary schools in Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesia, from January to February 2020. Schools were selected by multistage proportional stratified random sampling. A sample of 200 students was selected randomly. The dependent variable was dental and oral health behavior. The independent variables were knowledge, teacher role, attitude, perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived benefit, cues to action, self-efficacy, and perceived barrier. Results: Dental and oral preventive health behavior in elementary school students increased with high knowledge (OR= 7.27; 95% CI= 2.20 to 24.08; p= 0.001), strong teacher role (OR= 3.88; 95% CI= 1.22 to 12.36; p= 0.022), positive attitude (OR= 5.57; 95% CI= 1.72 to 18.01; p= 0.004), high perceived susceptibility (OR= 6.63; 95% CI= 2.13 to 20.65; p= 0.001), high perceived seriousness (OR= 6.28; 95% CI= 2.03 to 19.41; p= 0.001), high perceived benefit (OR= 6.69; 95% CI= 1.84 to 24.38; p= 0.004), strong cues to action (OR= 3.81; 95% CI= 1.20 to 12.14; p= 0.024), and strong self-efficacy (OR= 4.29; 95% CI= 1.39 to 13.21; p= 0.011). Dental and oral preventive health behavior decreased with high perceived barrier (OR= 0.21; 95% CI= 0.06 to 0.71; p= 0.011). Conclusion: Dental and oral preventive health behavior in elementary school students increases with high knowledge, strong teacher role, positive attitude, high perceived susceptibility, high perceived seriousness, high perceived benefit, strong cues to action, and strong self-efficacy. Dental and oral preventive health behavior decreases with high perceived barrier. Keywords: dental and oral preventive health behavior, health belief model Correspondence: Fahma Widya Kusumawardhani.
