Full textAbstract:
Abstract Deciduous teeth cavities represent a frequent type of illness, which constitutes one of the most important dental health problems in pre-school children, caused by the direct implications and the possible consequences that it may have on permanent teeth. Even if a decrease in the incidence of dental cavities is registered in the industrialized countries of the world, when it comes to deciduous teeth, the frequency of the cavities is still high, at least for some certain social groups of the population. The purpose of the study is to collect current data on dental morbidity in the preschool population. There is not as much data concerning dental health in pre-school children as there is about school children, the reason being that preschoolar children are more difficult to consult. Material and Method: The study was conducted in a pediatric-clinic in Bucharest for a period of 5 years (ian. 01, 2013-dec. 31, 2018). The children included in the study are children who have had tooth decay. The number of children who participated in the study is 276. Results and Discussions: Of the 276 children studied, the highest incidence of tooth decay was for the age group between 3-4 years. This may signify, on one hand, a relatively high number of cavities at a young age, and on the other hand, the level of parental interest in dental care. Conclusions: The main conclusion of our study highlights the need to establish dental health education programs in both national and community level, where kindergartens and schools, have a great potential for influencing dental health care habits in children.

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of tooth decay in the riverine population of Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve - MSDR, Amazonas, Brazil, as well as, to contribute to a better planning and implementation of public policies for oral health in those communities. The 2001 study examined 8 MSDR’s communities with a population sample of 486 residents, between 1 and 70 years of age, divided into four age groups. For measuring the experience of tooth decay in permanent and deciduous teeth DMFT (decayed, lost and filled teeth) and deft indexes (decayed, extraction indicated and filled teeth) were used respectively. As a result, a 7.54 average DMFT and a 3.48 deft were observed. The age group with the fewest people free from tooth decay was that above 19 years, only 1.4% was free. And the largest component to the DMFT index contribution was loss by caries (68.90%), while decayed teeth for the deft index (90.54%). This data is disturbing concerning tooth decay in the communities of MSDR. The study stresses a need for a more effective public policies involving dental health for that population.

Objective: To investigate the impact of the family’s socioeconomic trajectory on the oral health status of young people in the city of Sobral, Ceará, Brazil, and test the hypotheses of the life course theory. Methods: This is a cohort study conducted in 2000, 2006, and 2012. In the third wave, 482 individuals between 17 and 21 years of age were examined and interviewed. The outcomes analyzed were the trajectory of tooth decay (decayed teeth in 2012 and cavity reoccurrence) and the trajectory of dental assistance (immediate dental assistance and untreated caries). The socioeconomic trajectory was measured by the mobility of the family’s income between childhood and youth and the number of episodes of poverty throughout life. Results: The risk of developing decayed teeth in 2012 was greater for those who had always remained poor. Young people who were never poor had fewer decayed teeth in 2012, but more cavity reoccurrence. Downward mobility resulted in less access to immediate dental assistance. More experience of poverty throughout life implied more decayed teeth in 2012 and less immediate dental assistance. Conclusion: The life course hypotheses regarding an influence of socioeconomic mobility and cumulative risk on oral health outcomes in youth were confirmed.

Summary Introduction Knowledge of biological and cultural heritage represents a significant basis for the advance of human civilization. The aim of this study was to determine and define dental health status of pre-historic people of the Vinca culture. Material and method Study included twenty skeleton remnants of different gender and age from anthropological series of Gomolava. Skeletons originated from one necropolis and two individual graves dating from mid and early Neolithic periods of the Vinca culture. Based on radiocarbon analysis absolute skeletal age was determined to date within the periods from 5848±38 to 5739±35 BC. Preservation of skeletons varied from completely preserved skulls and jaws to fragmented parts of jaws. Data analysis was performed with methodology used in the research of human population teeth and jaws from the Lepenski Vir culture. Results Results showed high level of teeth abrasion (98,1%), medium level of dental calculus deposits (44,9%), low level of tooth decay, significant number of retained roots, as well as the occurrence of periapical lesions and periodontal disease within the neolith population of Gomolava site. Conclusion Taking into account absolute age of examined skeletons, collected data are very significant, from the perspective of its wide content. From a pathological perspective, teeth abrasion stands out as a dominant feature, while tooth decay fits within standard values for human population of the neolith period.

The Craniofacial Biology Research Group in the School of Dentistry at The University of Adelaide is entering an exciting new phase of its studies of dental development and oral health in twins and their families. Studies of the teeth and faces of Australian twins have been continuing for nearly 30 years, with three major cohorts of twins recruited over that time, and currently we are working with twins aged 2 years old to adults. Cross-sectional data and records relating to teeth and faces of twins are available for around 300 pairs of teenage twins, as well as longitudinal data for 300 pairs of twins examined at three different stages of development, once with primary teeth, once at the mixed dentition stage, and then again when the permanent teeth had emerged. The third cohort of twins comprises over 600 pairs of twins recruited at around birth, together with other family members. The emphasis in this third group of twins has been to record the timing of emergence of the primary teeth and also to sample saliva and dental plaque to establish the timing of colonization of decay-forming bacteria in the mouth. Analyses have confirmed that genetic factors strongly influence variation in timing of primary tooth emergence. The research team is now beginning to carry out clinical examinations of the twins to see whether those who become colonized earlier with decay-forming bacteria develop dental decay at an earlier age. By making comparisons within and between monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs and applying modern molecular approaches, we are now teasing out how genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors interact to influence dental development and also oral health.

Background Despite remarkable reduction in the prevalence of dental caries in developed countries, dental caries is still a highly prevalent disease among children in developing countries. Objectives To estimate the oral health status of children under five years of age by assessing decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft) status of primary teeth along with their tooth cleaning and food habits. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study on oral health status of children under five years of age was carried out among 107 children attending the Outpatient Department of Sapporo Dental College and Hospital, situated at Uttara, Dhaka. Data was collected both in English and Bengali with a pre-tested structured questionnaire and a checklist. Results Dental caries (d) was found in 69.2% of the children while missing (m) and filled (f) teeth were recorded in 14% and 21.5% of the children respectively. Almost three quarter children (72%) demonstrated an overall dmft score 1 or higher; whereas one third children (28%) demonstrated dmft score 0 or free from any form of dental decay, missing teeth and dental filling. Increased age of the children was directly associated (p<0.05) with the number of decayed, missing or filled teeth. The study also revealed that correct method of brushing was practiced by only 44% of the children and recommended brushing time (1-3 minutes) was done by 37.3% only. Children who were assisted by their parents during brushing experienced less caries compared to the children who brushed their teeth by themselves and this finding was statistically significant (p<0.05). Taking snacks between meals was preferred by 106 children and among them 97.2% did not clean their mouth after having snacks. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v1i1.13945 Update Dent.

Objectives To assess whether adults attending a dental practice for regular dental care have better oral health than adults attending casually in response to a dental problem, and to explore the barriers to asymptomatic attendance. Methods An observational case-control study comparing the characteristics of 100 regular attenders with 100 casual attenders in one general dental practice in North Staffordshire. All study subjects were aged 18 years or over. Sociodemographic characteristics of the two groups were collated, including age, gender, social class, marital status, employment status and smoking status. The primary outcome measure was the observed number of teeth with dentinal caries diagnosed using bitewing radiographs. Results Regular attenders were observed to have better oral health with respect to dental caries and tooth mobility (p<0.05). This was not explained by the observation that casual attenders were more likely than regular attenders to be male, aged 18–44 years, in social class III or IV. Secondary outcomes, including number of subjects with mobile teeth and teeth with >30% bone-loss, were also significantly worse in the casual attenders. However, the median number of teeth present in both groups was 27. In regular attenders, the most common reason for attending was to ‘keep the teeth’ (96%). In casual attenders, ‘fear/dislike of dental treatment’ was the most frequent indicator of non-attendance (56%). Conclusions In our study, adults who regularly attended general dental practice were shown to have better oral health, including less overall tooth decay, mobility and bone-loss, compared with adults who did not attend on a regular basis. Assuming this result to be externally valid, a challenge for the dental profession in the future will be to develop effective oral health promotion initiatives.

The global nutrition transition has contributed to child obesity and dental caries in developing countries, including Vietnam. Few studies have described the nutrition and oral health of mothers and children. This a descriptive study of the nutrition and oral health characteristics of a convenience sample of 571 children aged 2 to 5 years and their mothers from 5 urban preschools in Central and South Vietnam. The mothers completed a written survey, and the children received dental exams and weight/height measurements. High rates of bottle-feeding and the consumption of sweets were reported. One in 4 children were overweight/obese. Dental caries increased in prevalence and severity by age—at 5 years, 86.7% of children had tooth decay in an average of 8.5 teeth, and 70.9% experienced mouth pain. Most mothers and children suffered from untreated dental disease. Public health programs should focus on nutrition and oral health promotion, as well as dental treatment from pregnancy and birth onward.

This chapter explores the dental appearance, health risks, social roles, and procedures related to dental filings and inlays among the ancient Maya. To this end, skeletal data, portraiture, and ethnographic information from the Maya Lowlands were surveyed. The results show that the majority of adult dentitions had been modified during the first millennium AD, many of which emulated the Maya solar sign and sacred wind forces. The initial operation was usually performed in youngsters, although older age groups were subject to the practice as well. Maintenance measures were taken in the form of additional filing and tooth extraction, especially once tooth wear and decay set in. During the heydays of Lowland Maya kingdoms, dental reductions and inlayed materials trace varied regional and local traditions. Past the Maya collapse, during the Postclassic period, tooth modifications turned into a standardized, mostly female practice that was accomplished exclusively by dental filing.

Caries is a chronic disease. If it starts to affect the permanent teeth the child patient is drawn into a cycle requiring ongoing care for the rest of his/her life. Therefore when treating the young permanent dentition we have to adopt an approach that considers and addresses the whole disease process and not just treat the outcome of the disease. Caries is still a considerable problem in children and adolescents. The 2013 Child Dental Health Survey for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland found that, on average, nearly half (46%) of 15-year-olds and a third (34%) of 12-year-olds had obvious decay experience. Although the proportion of children with untreated dentinal caries has improved from 2003, it remained high at 21% and 19% for 15-year-olds and 12-year-olds, respectively. These children are at high risk of pain and discomfort relating to their teeth. The 2013 survey also looked at the impact on daily life. On average, a fifth of 12- and 15-year-old children reported experiencing difficulty eating, and about half reported that their life had been affected by problems with their teeth or mouth within the previous 3 months (Steele et al. 2015). Caries prevalence declined in the later decades of the twentieth century. As it dropped, a concentration of the disease occurred, with a small percentage of the population experiencing most of the disease. Caries prevalence is greatest in the occlusal surfaces of the first permanent molars and buccal grooves of the lower first molars, and the prevalence in these sites has dropped by the smallest proportion. The least susceptible sites are the approximal surfaces of the incisors, so caries seen in these permanent teeth indicates more extensive disease (Sheiham and Sabbah 2010). The first permanent teeth erupt in the mouth at approximately 6 years of age, but may appear as early as 4 years of age. The eruption of the anterior teeth usually causes great excitement, as it is associated with ‘the fluttering of tooth fairy wings’. However, the eruption of the first permanent molars goes largely unnoticed until there is a problem.
