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

This study was a part of the 7th National Oral Health Survey of Thailand and aimed to assess overall and condition-specific oral health–related quality of life of 12 and 15 year olds. Oral impacts were assessed using the Child-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances Index for 12 year olds and the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index for 15 year olds. Overall oral impacts and condition-specific oral impacts (CS-impacts) were calculated. Detailed characteristics of CS-impacts were analyzed. Seventy-five percent of 12 year olds and 70.1% of 15 year olds had one or more oral impacts. CS-impacts att

Abstract Dental caries in children and teenagers is a social problem and an important element in public health. It stems from its high prevalence and the consequences of not implementing proper treatment are serious. Younger and younger children suffer from dental caries. When it is not treated, the consequences tend to be serious and costly. Pathogenesis of dental caries, methods of treatment and its prevention have been described based on available literature. The decline in frequency of its appearance will be beneficial for both the sick and society. It will be possible thanks to an early i

Abstract:

Dental caries remains the most common disease in man and presents a tremendous health-affecting challenge and fiscal burden to both developed and underdeveloped countries. Changing demographics including increased number of ethnic minorities, cultural practices and diet, the number of children living in poverty or near poverty, and the special needs of medically compromised children have made solutions more complex and evasive. Systemic and topical fluoride contacts remain the most cost-effective public health response to preventing caries among children. The time-honored impact of reducing su
