Systemic scleroderma is a multisystem autoimmune disorder characterized by widespread fibrosis, vascular alterations and inflammation. Systemic scleroderma mainly affects people in age from 30 to 50 years, but the onset of disease can occur in any age. Oral hygiene details in these patients are still poorly known, that is why more researches should be made to improve dental prevention measures. In the study, the hygienic status of 80 patients with systemic scleroderma was determined. The level of hygiene was determined using the Green Vermilion Index (OHI-S). The assessment was carried out before the individual oral hygiene correction and a week after. Results: in group 1 (patients from 30 to 44 years) before the individual hygiene correction, the average value of the index was 3.31, after correction (after 7 days) - 2.32, in the 2nd group (patients from 45 to 65 years) - 5.6, after training - 3.56. Correction of the hygienic status of these patients leads to a dental health improvemant, therefore great attention should be paid to oral hygiene.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) promotes the development of gingivitis in children. The high prevalence and early manifestation of gingivitis is due to a combination of many factors. The pathogenic mechanisms of cystic fibrosis lead to disruption of normal physiological processes in the oral cavity, in particular, to a decrease in the level of salivation, to an increase in the viscosity of saliva, to a suppression of local immunity. Therefore, poor oral hygiene contributes to oral diseases. The aim of the study was to determine the level of oral hygiene in children with CF as one of the reasons for the development of gingivitis, and to select dental hygiene products that active towards factors that affect plaque. Material and methods. A total of 24 children with CF in the Ukrainian population participated in the study. The hygienic index OHI-S (J. C. Green, J. R. Wermillion, 1964) was calculated. The data were analyzed using Student’s criterions. The analysis was performed with a confidence level of 95 %. Results. The level of hygiene of the oral cavity was unsatisfactory among patients (OHI-S=2.19±0.11). Hygiene methods and dental hygiene products, to taking into account the manifestation of the pathogenesis of somatic disease, were selected. A follow-up study after 3 months revealed a significant positive trend in indicators of oral hygiene. Conclusions. This study has shown the low level of oral hygiene in children with CF. Hygienic education and motivation of these patients could help them achieve a higher level of oral health knowledge and are important starting points for the treatment and prevention of gingivitis. There was a significant improvement of the oral hygiene level after training children and after the proper selection of hygiene products. The dentists should use means and methods that have not contraindicate in patients of this category. It is recommended to monitore the hygiene indices to establish the effectiveness of the measures and necessity for individually therapy correction.

Introduction. A poor oral hygiene is associated with dental caries, gingivitis, periodontal diseases, bad breath, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and chronic kidney diseases. Moreover, a poor oral health has psychosocial impacts that diminish a quality of life and restrict activities in school, at work, and home. African regions carry a major burden of oral health problems. However, very few studies highlighted about oral hygiene practices and there is also paucity of information in Ethiopia. This study was, therefore, designed to identify an oral hygiene practice on patients/clients visiting dental clinics in Hawassa City, Southern Ethiopia. Objective. To assess oral hygiene practices and associated factors among patients/clients visiting private dental clinics, Hawassa City, Southern Ethiopia. Methods. Institution-based cross-sectional study was employed among patients/clients attending private clinics in Hawassa City from January 27 to February 8, 2018. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select 403 study participants. Data were entered into EpiData 3.1, cleaned, and analyzed by SPSS 20. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between independent and outcome variables. Crude and adjusted OR with 95% confidence level was estimated, and variables having P value ≤0.05 in multivariable analysis were considered as significant. Results. 393 study participants participated making a response rate of 97.52%. A median age of respondents was 27 ± 10.9. About 153 (39.9%) of the study participants had poor oral hygienic practice. Male (AOR: 1.63, 95% CI: (1.053, 2.523)), rural residence (AOR: 3.79, 95% CI: (1.724, 8.317)), and poor knowledge about oral hygiene (AOR: 2.38, 95% CI: (1.402, 4.024)) were independently associated to poor oral hygienic practice. Conclusion. More than one-third of the study participants had poor oral hygienic practice. Providing health information regarding oral hygiene for the patients/clients in the facilities with a special focus from rural areas is recommended.

The Hodgkin’s disease (lymphogranulomatosis, LGM) stands at the top of the list among malignant lymphomas in children. The highest rate of it occurrence coincides with childhood. LGM is most common at 4-6 and 12-14 years. The scope of scientific clinical research on odontoand parodontopathology is limited among pediatric population. The quantitative and qualitative composition of plaque, its thickness and area is primary pathogenic chain. In turn, unsatisfactory oral hygiene contributes to the development of decay and periodontal and oral mucosal disease in children with LGM.
Our research aims to study the oral hygienic condition in patients with LGM during different clinical stages of the underlying disease. In order to reduce the toxic effect of LGM treatment, rational oral hygiene preventive measures shall be implemented.
Matherials and methods. A total of 45 patients of both sexes in the 5-15 year age group diagnozed with lymphogranulomatosis (LGM) were examined. 243 healthy age-and-sex-matched children were included in the control group. The patients with lymphogranulomatosis (LGM I) were examined after the initial diagnosis. Group II (LGM II) consisted of patients who had completed the first polychemestry treatment cycle. Group III (LGM III) included patients who had a constant remission period (from over 6 months to 5 years).
The oral hygienic condition was studied using the Pahomov’s hygienic index, the simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S by Greene and Vermilion), the PHP hygiene hygiene efficiency index (Podshadley, Haley, 1968), the modified Turesky index (1970), and API surfaces [6]. The data was statistically analyzed using Student's-Fisher's method.
The Pahomov's hygienic index (PHI) in children aged 5-15 with LGM was quite different in the main and control groups (p<0.05). The score of PHI was 2.3 ± 0.05 (p<0.05) in patient group with LGM (LGM I). The Pahomov's hygienic index had increased in the children aged 5-15 diagnozed with LGM. The Pahomov’s index values from the second (LGM II) and third (LGM III) examinations were found to be quite different when compared to the control group of children of the same age (p<0.05). This PHI value was 3.39 ± 0.11 (very poor) after the second examination (LGM II) and was at 2.7 ± 0.10 (poor) during the third examination (LGM II). The satisfactory and unsatisfactory oral hygiene conditions according to the Pahomov’s index were observed in 5-15 year old children with LGM.
The satisfactory and unsatisfactory oral hygiene conditions have been established using the Pahomov’s index, Green-Vermilion, Tureski, PHP, API in 5-15 year old children with LGM. The children might have completely given up on tooth brushing due to increased trauma and bleeding gums.
Soft plaque is often responsible for dental decay in primary and permanent teeth in children and periodontal diseases. The analysis of the individual oral hygiene condition determined poor level of hygiene skill in patients with LGM compared to somatically healthy children. Hygienic condition and care depend on age, clinical stage of the underlying disease, the course of pathological complications in hard dental and soft oral tissues.
Conclusion. Our clinical study established a poor oral hygiene condition by using different groups of dental hygiene indicators in patients with LGM. This condition particularly worsens during chemotherapy, which causes significant changes in periodontal, oral mucous and hard dental tissues. Children have low awareness of oral cavity care requirements or the specifics of selecting hygiene supplies and facilities. In those cases, the dental examination was required for raising awareness and providing oral hygiene control which was carried out among patients at different stages of the Hodgkin’s disease and it remission. Therefore, adopting such measures would provide an opportunity to increase the resistance of hard dental and periodontal tissues.

Oral hygiene has a significant impact on the dental health of adolescents. Therefore, studying and identifying opportunities for its improvement in adolescents is highly important. Application of the proposed scheme of preventive work with a cohort of adolescents attending school and college made it possible to improve the hygienic condition of the oral cavity in them. During the 1st survey, the hygiene rate in the group of students and the group of college students was at the average level, which corresponds to a satisfactory level of oral hygiene, although when comparing the numerical values of the rate of schoolchildren and college students, it was worse among college attendees. The study showed that constant monitoring and communication with the subjects in the main groups resulted in significant improvement in oral hygiene and their maintenance throughout the observation period (12 months). The results confirm the need for constant monitoring by parents for oral hygiene in adolescents.
We observed 15-year-old students (54 people) and college visitors of the same age (43 people) and divided them into two groups: the main group of schoolchildren and college students who underwent our proposed preventive measures under constant supervision; the control group (schoolchildren and college students), who were offered preventive measures without monitoring by a dentist.
The method of communication with included professional hygiene, controlled brushing, oral hygiene training, acquaintance with objects and means of oral hygiene, rules of nutrition, and leading a healthy lifestyle. We examined adolescents in the control group twice a year. The main group monitored the implementation of the proposed recommendations regularly. The study of the researched indicators was conducted 6 and 12 months after one examination. According to the WHO recommendations, the Hygiene Index (OHI-S) was determined by the Green-Vermillion; additionally, we conducted the Fedorov-Volodkina index.
Application of the proposed scheme of preventive work with a cohort of adolescents studying at school and college made it possible to improve the hygienic condition of the oral cavity in them. During the 1st examination, the hygiene rate in the group of students and the group of college students was at the average level, which corresponds to a satisfactory level of oral hygiene. Although comparing the numerical values of the rate of schoolchildren and college students, it was worse among college visitors. The study showed that constant monitoring and communication with the subjects in the main groups resulted in a significant improvement in the level of oral hygiene and their maintenance throughout the observation period (12 months).
The results confirm the need for constant monitoring by parents for oral hygiene in adolescents.

Abstract Objectives: 1. To investigate the relationship between periodontitis and infertility. 2. To evaluate the importance of oral hygiene to general health. Materials and methods Eighty-six men requiring seminal fluid analysis as part of an on-going investigation for infertility in their spouses were serially recruited into the study. Basic dental and periodontal examination were performed. Each participant was also screened for periodontitis using a lateral flow immunoassay kit which detected levels of active membrane metalloproteinase-8. Results were read-off as a color change. Due to some incomplete entries, only 76 participants were involved in the final data analysis. Results There were 55 subjects with subnormal counts (of which ten were found to be azoospermic, 41 oligospermic) and 25 normospermic controls. A positive association was found between periodontitis and subnormal sperm count in only one age group but statistically significant association was found between poor oral hygiene and subnormal sperm count across all age groups. Conclusion For the first time, there appears to be a significant association between poor oral and subnormal sperm count. There also appears to an association between chronic periodontitis and subnormal sperm count. These relationships warrant further investigation. Principal findings There appears to be a link between poor oral hygiene and low sperm count. How to cite this article Nwhator SO, Umeizudike KA, Ayanbadejo PO, Opeodu OI, Olamijulo JA, Sorsa T.

The plaque and debris control are necessary to prevent inflammatory periodontium disease and dental caries, since plaque is considered as the major etiological factor in phylogenesis of both diseases. Elimination of the plaque using toothbrush is commonly used method in oral hygiene. The electric brushes have been used since 1960s and they are currently had widely used in the high-income countries. Working sides of the brush are designed to clean all surfaces in the oral cavity including those retentive ones, and recently the design of manual and electric bmshes has been focused to reach proximal surfaces of teeth. Patients' technique of brushing the teeth, including force, duration, motivation, and movement, is also important for oral hygiene effectiveness. Dental floss and toothpaste have important role as secondary tools in oral prophylaxis. All mentioned appliances used for oral hygiene can be utilized for various kind of prosthetic replacements. However, different protocols were proposed for different prosthetic replacements. This paper considered all of these topics

Background:As the most frequent infectious disease among children worldwide, dental caries have a strong relationship with oral hygiene status, specifically in the development of infection. OralVeillonellaspecies have a main role as early colonizers in the oral biofilm formation. Previously, oralVeillonellastrains were detected at the species level in the saliva of Thai children with different oral hygiene statuses. Here, we studied the oral hygiene status by examining the composition and proportion of oralVeillonellaspecies in saliva of Japanese children to compare with the previous results found in Thai children.Methods:Microbial samples collected from 15 Japanese children divided into three oral hygiene groups were cultured under anaerobic conditions after homogenization and dilution, and inoculated onto brain heart infusion and selective mediumVeillonellaagar. Genomic DNA was extracted from each isolate.Veillonellaspecies were detected by one-step PCR usingrpoBspecies-specific primers. To analyse the phylogenetic properties of the unknownVeillonellastrains, PCR amplification and sequence analysis ofrpoBwere conducted for 10 representative strains.Results:AlthoughV. rogosaewas found as the predominant species among all groups, its prevalence was significantly lower in the children with poor oral hygiene than in those with good oral hygiene.V. parvulawas the prevalent species in the poor oral hygiene group. Approximately 10% of the isolatedVeillonellastrains were not classified to any established species; the phylogenetic analysis showed that they were most closely related toV.infantiumConclusions:This study demonstrates that the composition and proportion of oralVeillonellaspecies in the saliva of Japanese children is correlated with different oral hygiene status. Changes in detection ratios ofV. parvulaandV. rogosaecan be useful indicators of oral hygiene status. Furthermore, new strains closely related toV.infantiumwere isolated from the saliva of Japanese children.

Here, we studied the oral hygiene status by examining the composition and proportion of oralVeillonellaspecies in saliva of Japanese children to compare with the previous results found in Thai children.Methods:Microbial samples collected from 15 Japanese children divided into three oral hygiene groups were cultured under anaerobic conditions after homogenization and dilution, and inoculated onto brain heart infusion and selective mediumVeillonellaagar. Genomic DNA was extracted from each isolate.Veillonellaspecies were detected by one-step PCR usingrpoBspecies-specific primers. To analyse the phylogenetic properties of the unknownVeillonellastrains, PCR amplification and sequence analysis ofrpoBwere conducted for 10 representative strains.Results:AlthoughV. rogosaewas found as the predominant species among all groups, its prevalence was significantly lower in the children with poor oral hygiene than in those with good oral hygiene.V. parvulawas the prevalent species in the poor oral hygiene group. Approximately 10% of the isolatedVeillonellastrains were not classified to any established species; the phylogenetic analysis showed that they were most closely related toV.infantiumConclusions:This study demonstrates that the composition and proportion of oralVeillonellaspecies in the saliva of Japanese children is correlated with different oral hygiene status. Changes in detection ratios ofV. parvulaandV. rogosaecan be useful indicators of oral hygiene status. Furthermore, new strains closely related toV.infantiumwere isolated from the saliva of Japanese children.

Relevance. The oral hygiene and prevention quality depends on toothpaste. The literature analysis shows the underuse of saliva biochemical parameters for assessing oral hygiene product effectiveness.Materials and methods. Thirty-three subjects aged 19 to 22 years participated in the study. The participants used four kinds of toothpaste by the same manufacturer to evaluate the toothpaste’s effectiveness. We conducted clinical examinations and collected saliva samples on the 1st, 14th and 28th days of the study. The saliva was collected on an empty stomach without stimulation in the morning. Then it was centrifuged. The supernatant was biochemically studied.Results. The study established the criteria for the toothpaste’s low effectiveness, which involve a signifcant increase in hygienic indices and total antioxidant activity, associated with a statistically signifcant trend towards an increase in lactate content. The criteria for a toothpaste with medium effectiveness are a signifcant decrease in one of the hygienic indices, associated with an alkaline pH shift, and an increase in the total antioxidant activity, without signifcant changes in the lactate content. The criteria for a highly effective toothpaste are a signifcant decrease in hygienic indices, and an alkaline pH shift, associated with a signifcant lactate decrease. Determination of total calcium and inorganic phosphorus in the oral fluid may be crucial for assessing the toothpaste remineralizing properties. The glucose content in mixed saliva yields little information for the toothpaste’s hygienic effectiveness assessment.Conclusion. We can recommend saliva biochemical parameters for assessing the oral hygiene status and the effectiveness of oral hygiene products during oral hygiene product comprehensive studies.

Generalized periodontitis is the most common form of periodontal pathology, especially in the second half of life. Nowadays, the problem of periodontal disease is relevant due to its high prevalence, tendency to progression, multifaceted influence on the dentoalveolar system and the whole organism as well as uncertain treatment. Therefore, there is a need to find optimal ways of prevention and treatment of this disease. Close relationships between periodontal pathology and systemic diseases, such as hypertension, which affects every 2nd-3rd adult were determined.The objective of the research was to determine the status of oral cavity hygiene in patients with generalized periodontitis of II degree and stage II hypertension.Materials and methods. The study included 30 patients with generalized periodontitis of II degree and stage II hypertension being treated in the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Cardiology Dispensary; the average age ranged from 35 to 54 years (the main group). The control group included 10 patients of the same age without generalized periodontitis and somatic pathology .The status of oral cavity hygiene was determined using the Green Vermillion index. The diagnosis of periodontal disease was made on the basis of the classification proposed by M.F. Danilevskyi. The obtained results were subjected to variation-statistical analysis using statistical package “Stat Soft 6.0”; classical methods of variational statistics were applied; mean values and their reliability were evaluated.Results. The results of examination showed poor oral hygiene in almost all patients. The analysis of hygienic indices showed the following results: in patients of the main group, the Green Vermillion index was 1.99 ± 0.13 points (p<0.001) which corresponds to unsatisfactory level of oral hygiene. In patients of the control group, this index was 1.10 ± 0.17 points which corresponds to satisfactory level of oral hygiene. According to the index, 9 (30.0%) patients of the main group had satisfactory oral hygiene, 12 (40.0%) patients had poor oral hygiene, and in 9 (30.0%) patients, poor oral hygiene was observed.In the control group, 2 (20.0%) patients had good oral hygiene, 6 (60.0%) patients had satisfactory oral hygiene and in 2 (20.0%) patients, unsatisfactory oral hygiene was observed. There were no patients with poor oral hygiene. The analysis of the indicators of the Green Vermillion index showed that in case of the pathological process exacerbation the oral hygiene status in patients deteriorated.Conclusions. The level of oral hygiene in patients of both groups was low due to incorrect selection of personal hygiene products or their untimely replacement. In patients with generalized periodontitis of II degree and stage II hypertension, the level of oral hygiene was lower than in somatically healthy persons: the worse status of oral cavity hygiene – the more pronounced changes in the periodontal tissues. We can suppose that high blood pressure affects the status of the oral cavity, creates a higher risk and exacerbates the periodontal diseases.

Purpose: analysis of the preventive effectiveness of the agent based on bacteriophages “Phagodent” in persons with dental implants. Material and methods: two groups were compared: with standard hygienic oral care and with additional applications of Phagodent gel on the gum (main group, 15 people, bridges on 49 implants; comparison group, 10 people, bridges on 42 implants); observation of patients with implants. For comparison, hygienic periodontal indices (oral hygiene index, hygiene index, gingivitis index, Mulleman index) were used. Results: when using the Phagodent gel at home and with standard oral hygiene, no development of periimplantitis with bone resorption was recorded during the year of observation. At the same time, mucositis was found in one implant in the main group (2.0%) and in two in the comparison group (4.8%). A year later, the index of oral hygiene of IG-U deteriorated in the main group to 1.9±0.1, in the comparison group to 2.1± 0.2; the index of hygiene of IG in the comparison group corresponded to 1.3±0.3, in the main group – 1.0±0.1; the index of gingivitis of IG in the main group was 0.1± 0.1; in the control group 0.2 ±0.1; The Mulleman index in a year it did not exceed 0.1 ±0.1 in both groups. Thus, the use of “Phagodent” gel in the main group of patients prevented the development of mucositis due to the positive effect on oral hygiene, reflected by the hygienic indices of IGM-U and IGIM. Due to the positive effect on oral hygiene in patients with dentures on dental implants, the gel based on bacteriophages “Phagodent” has a preventive effect on inflammatory complications in the state of periimplant tissues and can be used by the patient independently at home.

Introduction. Systematic monitoring of the of oral hygiene and professional hygiene with the use of modern, individually selected basic and additional hygiene products and items during orthodontic treatment is a mandatory component of the comprehensive rehabilitation of children with congenital cleft lip and palate (CLP). The aim: to evaluate the quality of individual oral hygiene care of children with congenital unilateral cleft lip and palate in the course of orthodontic treatment in the period of transitional dentition. Materials and methods. The determination of the hygienic condition of the oral cavity in the course of orthodontic treatment was done using the «Differentiated index for determining the indicator of individual oral hygiene, adjusted to take into account the different quality of hygiene on the upper and lower dental rows (DIOH). Results and their discussion. Prevention of diseases of hard tissues of teeth and periodontal tissues in children is important from birth and is especially necessary in the course of orthodontic treatment using removable and fixed orthodontic designs. Children with CLP have an increased risk of developing dental caries for a variety of reasons. Differential examination of the state of dental hygiene on the upper and lower jaws allows giving more targeted recommendations regarding oral hygiene, i.e. personify them. Conclusions. The use of hygiene indices, in particular those that reflect the difference between the level of hygiene on the jaw where the orthodontic appliance is placed and where it is absent, is appropriate for assessing the state of oral hygiene in children with dentognathic anomalies and providing recommendations for its improvement. Key words: congenital unilateral cleft lip and palate, hygiene index, prevention, diseases of hard tissues of teeth and periodontal tissues.

Full textAbstract:
One of the features of present-day structure of dental diseases among children in Ukraine is rather high occurrence of pathological changes in the periodontal tissues, which at the age of 12-15 ranges within 70-80% according to the evidences suggested by certain authors, and in some regions it reaches 95-98% [3,7].
One of the factors causing occurrence and severity of periodontal diseases among children is common somatic pathology available, and endocrine one in particular [2,4,5]. Statistical investigations conducted by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine are indicative of a continuous increase of endocrine pathology among children in Ukraine, and insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes in particular [8].
Hygienic condition of the oral cavity is one of the important local factors and triggering mechanism promoting development of inflammation in the periodontal tissues due to intensified pathologic effect of the oral cavity microflora and reduced general reactivity of the body [1,9].
Considering a close interrelation available between rational care of the oral cavity and the periodontal tissue state, the aim of the study was evaluation of the level of individual oral hygiene in children suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) depending on the duration of the underlying disease and glycemic control level.
To solve the purpose of hygiene of the oral cavity was assessed in 109 children with chronic catarrhal gingivitis (CCG) aged 12-16 years who were examined or treated at the Children’s Endocrinological Department of the Municipal Institution “Regional Children’s Hospital” in Chernivtsi concerning DM. The children were divided into the groups according to the level of glycemic control: those with optimal glycemic control (OGC) – 1 person, with suboptimal glycemic control (SOGC) - 66 individuals, with glycemic control and high risk for life (HRFL) – 42 individuals, as well as duration of the disease: children suffering from DM less than 5 years – 65 individuals, children suffering from DM more than 5 years – 44 individuals.
Oral hygiene was determined by means of oral hygiene index simplified (OIH-S) (J.C.Green, J.R.Vermilion, 1964). The data obtained were statistically processed by means of variation statistics method considering Student criterion and the use of software Statistica 7.0 (StatSoft, Inc). Difference between the groups of comparison was considered reliable with р≤0,05.
Assessment of the oral hygiene in children depending on the duration of common somatic disease demonstrated reduced hygienic level and increased values of Green-Vermillion index. Thus, in children with CCG suffering from DM more than 5 years and having SOGC, hygienic index values were 1,3 times higher (1,87±0,15), which corresponds to unsatisfactory level of oral hygiene in comparison with (1,54±0,08) in children suffering from DM less than 5 years, which corresponds to satisfactory hygiene. In children with glycemic control level of HRFL and duration of DM longer than 5 years hygienic index was (2,42±0,29) which was 1,5 times higher than in children suffering from DM less than 5 years and their hygienic index was (1,64±0,08) which corresponds to unsatisfactory and satisfactory oral hygiene levels respectively.
The oral hygiene was also analyzed depending on the degree of severity of the underlying disease. Thus, in children with the glycemic control level of HRFL and duration of DM more than 5 years the values of Green-Vermillion index were higher than those similar ones 1,3 times ((2,42±0,29) against (1,87±0,15) in children with SOGC, and they corresponded to unsatisfactory level of the oral hygiene in both cases. Similar tendency was found in the group of children with duration of DM less than 5 years. In children with glycemic control level of HRFL hygienic index was (1,64±0,08) and was considerably higher than (1,54±0,08) with SOGC, and 1,2 times higher (1,33±0,00) with OGC, but in all the cases it corresponded to a satisfactory level.
A detailed analysis of dependence of the oral hygiene in children with different degree of CCG severity on the duration and severity of the underlying disease presented the following results. All the children with mild degree of CCG irrespective of the glycemic control level and duration of diabetes had a satisfactory level of the oral hygiene. Though, in children with duration of DM more than 5 years the values of hygienic indices were higher: with SOGC (1,58±0,08) against (1,48±0,04) when diabetes lasted less than 5 years, and (1,66±0,00) in children with HRFL against (1,54±0,08) respectively. In children with moderate severity of CCG and DM lasting more than 5 years the values of hygienic indices were 1,2 times higher with SOGC and 1,5 times with HRFL respectively in comparison with the index with SOGC and HRFL in children with the duration of somatic pathology less than 5 years. The values of Green-Vermillion index in children with severe CCG and DM longer than 5 years in anamnesis were 1,5 times higher than in children with DM less than 5 years. They corresponded to poor and unsatisfactory oral hygiene.
The obtained results determined that special attention should be paid to teaching oral hygiene technique and its control in children in order to prevent periodontal tissue diseases and in the process of treatment. Assessment of the oral hygiene conducted in children suffering from DM evidences than with more intensive inflammatory processes in the periodontal tissues the values of hygienic index increase. There are certain bases to claim with good reason that oral hygiene depends on the duration and severity of the underlying disease which is indicative of the necessity to improve stomatological aid given to children from this group.

Objective. evaluation of oral hygiene to enhance the prophylaxis of complications specifically of dental caries in children with disturbances in tooth formation (DTF) who live on radiologically contaminated territories after the Chornobyl NPP (ChNPP) accident. Materials and methods. Children aged 6–14 years (n = 1470) with DTF were the study subjects examined in 2012– 2016. Among them there were (n = 528) residents of the zones III and IV of radiological contamination after the ChNPP accident with 137Cs soil contamination density 1-15 Ci/km2. The effective radiation dose in them was not exceeding 1 mSv/year. The Green-Vermillion and Silness-Loe oral hygiene indices were assesses within clinical examination methods. Results. The worth oral hygiene was revealed in children having got the DTF, compensated chronic diseases of organs and systems, and in those with burdened radiation history. The Green-Vermilion and Silness-Loe indices were 1.7 ± 0.51 and 1.65 ± 0.46 respectively. Conclusions. A significant deterioration in oral hygiene confirmed by the highest values of the Green-Vermillion index (1.7 ± 0.51; p < 0.001 – «unsatisfactory oral hygiene» criterion) and Silness-Loe index (1.65 ± 0.46; p < 0.001 – «poor oral hygiene» criterion) was found in children with DTF aged 6-14 years being residents of contaminated areas as a result of the Chernobyl accident. The revealed deterioration may be due to a set of negative factors, including the impact of ionizing radiation in low doses and peculiarities of social status. Results of the questioning of surveyed pediatric contingents both having got an DTF and with no defects of the hard tissues of teeth indicate an insufficient level of knowledge and skills in hygienic care of oral cavity regardless of the area of residence. Development of a set of measures to prevent the DTF complications in children should be carried out taking into account the state of oral hygiene, level of knowledge and skills in oral care, and include the use of hygiene products, namely toothpastes and anti-caries mouthwashes. Key words: children, disturbances in tooth formation, systemic hypoplasia of enamel, molar-incisor enamel hypomineralization, hygienic indices, ionizing radiation, ChNPP accident.

Background: Down Syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder that causes structural, functional anomalies, and intellectual disability. The common oral hygiene problems found in DS children are gingivitis, periodontal problems, pain, infection, and problems with the masticatory system. This study explored the relationship between parents' oral hygiene knowledge and oral hygiene of children with DS. Method: This was an observational analytical study. To assess parents' oral hygiene knowledge, a questionnaire consisting of 25 questions was distributed to 100 parents whose DS children in POTADS (Down Syndrome Parents Association) Surabaya. To assess the DS children's oral hygiene, dental exams were performed to calculate the individual Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S) scores by dividing the sum of the individual debris and calculus scores by six (the number of teeth examined). The data were analysed using regression analysis. Results: There was a significant and strong inverse relationship between parents’ oral hygiene knowledge and DS children’s oral hygiene. Parents’ oral hygiene knowledge affected DS children’s oral hygiene. The results of the regression analysis indicated that a 1% increase in parents' knowledge caused a reduction in the OHI-S score to 7.377. Conclusion: A significant inverse relationship between parents’ oral hygiene knowledge and DS children’s oral hygiene was observed in this study. Further studies could be conducted to determine other variables that my influence both parents’ oral hygiene knowledge and DS children’s oral hygiene.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between oral health and hygiene practices and oral cancer. METHODS: Hospital-based case-control study in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, from 1998 to 2002. A total 309 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth and the pharynx and 468 controls matched by sex and age were included in the study. Cases were recruited in seven reference hospitals and controls were selected in five out of the seven participating hospitals. Detailed information on smoking, alcohol consumption, schooling, oral health status and hygiene practices were obtained through interviews. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), adjusted by sex, age, schooling, smoking, alcohol consumption as well as the variables oral health status and hygiene practices were estimated using unconditional logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: The use of complete dental prosthesis was not associated with oral cancer but regular gum bleeding showed a strong association (OR 3.1; 95% CI 1.2-7.9). Those who never attended a dental visit were more likely to have oral cancer (OR 2.5; 95% CI 1.3-4.8). Daily mouthwash use showed a stronger association to pharynx (OR 4.7; 95% CI 1.8-12.5) than mouth cancer (OR 3.2; 95% CI 1.6-6.3). CONCLUSIONS: Gum bleeding, no dental care, and daily mouthwash use were factors associated with oral cancer regardless of tobacco and alcohol consumption.

Background: Oral hygiene screening should be done on a regular basis, notably during the COVID-19 outbreak, during which lifestyle changes and government lockdown policies lower the oral hygiene level. The Oral Rating Index (ORI), established by Kawamura, is the suitable oral hygiene screening index during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dental students are supposed to be role models for the community by maintaining good dental hygiene. Purpose: To study the use of online oral hygiene screening using the ORI and to determine the oral hygiene of dentistry students at Trisakti University. Methods: This research is a cross-sectional descriptive observational study. A total of 100 preclinical dental students from Trisakti University took part in the study. Intraoral photos were taken and sent to the researcher via the internet. The ORI was used to evaluate the data. The reliability of the results was determined using a per cent agreement test and Cohen’s kappa coefficient. Results: The average oral hygiene score of dental students at Trisakti University was 0.58±0.88. The per cent agreement was 88%, and Cohen’s kappa coefficient was κ = 0.79, indicating excellent reliability. Conclusion: Based on their ORI score, it can be stated that dentistry students at Trisakti University have good oral hygiene and that online evaluation using the ORI is a useful tool for routine oral hygiene screening.

Many preventive approaches in dentistry aim to improve oral health through behavioural instruction or intervention concerning oral health behaviour. However, it is still unknown which factors have the highest impact on oral health behaviours, such as toothbrushing or regular dental check-ups. Various external and internal individual factors such as education, experience with dentists or influence by parents could be relevant. Therefore, the present observational study investigated the influence of these factors on self-reported oral heath behaviour. One hundred and seventy participants completed standardized questionnaires about dental anxiety (Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS), and dental self-efficacy perceptions (dSEP)). They also answered newly composed questionnaires on oral hygiene behaviours and attitudes, current and childhood dental experiences as well as parental oral hygiene education and care. Four independent factors, namely attitude towards oral hygiene, attitude towards one’s teeth, sense of care and self-inspection of one’s teeth were extracted from these questionnaires by rotating factor analysis. The results of the questionnaires were correlated by means of linear regressions. Dental anxiety was related to current negative emotions when visiting a dentist and negative dental-related experiences during childhood. High DAS scores, infantile and current negative experiences showed significant negative correlations with the attitude towards oral hygiene and one’s teeth. Dental anxiety and current negative dental experiences reduced participants’ dental self-efficacy perceptions as well as the self-inspection of one’s teeth. While parental care positively influenced the attitude towards one’s teeth, dental self-efficacy perceptions significantly correlated with attitude towards oral hygiene, self-inspection of one’s teeth and parental care. Dental anxiety, dental experiences, parents’ care for their children’s oral hygiene and dental self-efficacy perceptions influence the attitude towards oral hygiene and one’s own oral cavity as well as the autonomous control of one’s own dental health. Therefore, oral hygiene instruction and the development of patient-centred preventive approaches should consider these factors.

Geriatric patients need adequate oral health care which can greatly influence their overall general health. A large population of the elderly patients due to poor oral hygiene suffer from periodontal disease and root caries which can lead to edentulousness. The present study analysed the oral hygiene status among geriatric patients visiting dental hospital in an institution. A total of 86000 patient records were reviewed from June 2019 - April 2020. 233 geriatric patients were included in the study. The gender, age and Oral Hygiene Index- Simplified (OHI-S) of the patients were recorded and statistically analysed. The study consisted of 233 patients out of which 66 patients (28.6%) were females and 165 (71.4%) were males. The results showed that 31% of the patients had good oral hygiene, 60% showed fair and 9% of the patients showed poor oral hygiene. 34.6% of the females had good oral hygiene and 57.5% had fair oral hygiene. 30% of the males showed good oral hygiene and 60% had fair oral hygiene. Within the limits of the study, it was evident that most of the geriatric patients had fair oral hygiene status.

AbstrakOral hygiene merupakan salah satu tindakan keperawatan yang dilakukan agar kondisi rongga mulut tetap bersih dan segar sehingga terhindar dari infeksi. Oral hygiene juga mampu mengurangi jumlah mikroorganisme dan pengumpulan organisme yang mengalami translokasi serta kolonisasi di dalam mulut. Pasien di ruang ICU sangat berisiko terkena infeksi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran pelaksanaan tindakan perawatan oral hygiene pada pasien di ruang Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Desain penelitian ini menggunakan deskriptif sejumlah 35 responden yaitu perawat yang bekerja diruang Intensive Care Unit (ICU) menggunakan teknik total sampling. Pelaksanaan tindakan perawatan oral hygiene dalam kategori kurang sebanyak 21 responden (60,0%). Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh ketidakseimbangan antara rasio perawat dengan pasien, fasilitas dalam pelaksanaan oral hygiene masih belum memadai, dan perawat juga belum memahami sepenuhnya bagaimana pelaksanaan oral hygiene yang sesuai dengan standar operasional prosedur. Hasil penelitian ini menyarankan, sebaiknya memberikan reward/penghargaan kepada perawat untuk meningkatkan motivasinya dalam tindakan oral hygiene di ICU. Kata kunci : Oral Hygiene, Intensive Care Unit, Perawat AbstractDescription of Implementation Oral Hygiene in Patients in the ICU room.Oral hygiene is one of the nursing actions carried out so that the condition of the oral cavity remains clean and fresh so as to avoid infection. Oral hygiene is also able to reduce the number of microorganisms and the collection of organisms that experience translocation and colonization in the mouth. Patients in the ICU room are very at risk for infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the implementation of oral hygiene in patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This study design using descriptive analytical 35 respondents, a number of respondents is 35 nurses working at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) room using total sampling technique. The implementation of oral hygiene care measures in the less category as many as 21 respondents (60.0%). This is influenced by the imbalance between the ratio of nurses and patients, facilities in the implementation of oral hygiene are still inadequate, and nurses also do not fully understand how the implementation of oral hygiene is in accordance with standard operating procedures. The results of this study suggest, should give rewards / awards to nurses to improve oral hygiene motivation to act in the ICU. Keywords: Oral Hygiene, Intensive Care Unit, Nurses

Removable orthodontic appliances can be among the causes of microbial irritation in the oral cavity. The aim of the present study was to assess the oral hygiene status of patients with denture-related stomatitis. We carried out comprehensive dental checkup of 17 patients aged 51 to 69 years with denture-related stomatitis was performed. A bacterioscopic laboratory examination was performed for all patients. The denture hygiene index by E. Ambjörnsen has been determined. Denture-related stomatitis of the patients examined was manifested by various clinical signs. The species composition of the oral microflora when wearing removable dentures deviated from normal values. The Candida fungi were revealed in 13 (76.47%) cases; actinomycetes were recorded in 7 (42.2%) cases. We found that 82.35% of the patients with manifestations of denture-related stomatitis did not follow adequate oral hygienic. The study has shown that 3 (17.64%) cases were assessed as having satisfactory hygienic status. Poor denture hygiene (HI = 2.66) was observed in 5 (29.41%) of the cases. The unsatisfactory hygienic status of the dentures was recorded in 9 (52.94%) of cases and averaged 2.2. 15 (88.23%) patients were unaware of the importance of proper denture cleaning and did not use the hygiene algorithm in full. 3 (17.76%) patients did not did not remove dentures at nights, all the patients did not have a special double-sided brush. Only 5 (29.41%) of the respondents used dental elixirs fro mouth rinsing on regular basis. The results have demonstrated the importance of regular adequate care of dentures and strict adhering to an individual hygiene algorithm in full in order to prevent the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity. The prevention is a key approach in the prophylaxis of side effects, which might be caused by dental appliances.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Braces and micro-implants may serve as retention points for the dental plaque under the condition of insufficient everyday oral care, thus compromising oral hygiene level of orthodontic patients.
Objective. The assess changes of oral hygiene among orthodontic patients with braces and micro-implants during the use of adapted specifically-designed plaque-controlled regime of self-performed oral hygiene measures.
Material and Methods. Study group was formed out of 30 patients aged 18 to 50 years, who were planned to undergo orthodontic treatment with brace system and micro-implant. During the first month of orthodontic treatment patients used a toothbrush with thin bristles, during the second month – V-toothbrush, and during the third month – a two-row and monobundle toothbrush. The interdental hygiene was provided by the size-adjusted toothbrushes. Clinical assessment was provided with the use of hygienic indices (O’Leary, Green-Vermillion and Turesky).
Results. At the period of first month after orthodontic treatment initiation O’Leary index increased abruptly to 52.6±6.4%, which stands for unsatisfactory oral hygiene level. Values of Turesky and Green-Vermillion indices increased twofold after orthodontic appliance attachment, and after first month of treatment their values were 1.98±0.31, and 2.12±0.34 points, respectively; while after third month of treatment – 0.99±0.1 and 1.19±0.14, respectively.
Conclusions. Oral hygiene conditions were deteriorated among all patients, compared to the pre-treatment situation, which was caused by orthodontic appliances fixation. Oral hygiene of the patients with fixed orthodontic appliances should include usage of two-row toothbrush, which most efficiently clean the plaque above and under the brace arch; and a mono-bundle toothbrush for additional cleaning around brace locks, in gingival area, and around micro-implants.

Introduction: Pregnancy is a natural process. Physiological changes which occur during pregnancy increase the risk of developing oral diseases and potentially result in adverse pregnancy outcomes. So, it is important to maintain oral hygiene, especially during the antenatal period. Objective: To assess the oral hygiene practices among antenatal mothers. Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out in the Obstetrics and Gynecology OPD, PGIMER Chandigarh, where 200 antenatal mothers visiting Obstetrics and Gynecology OPD, PGIMER from October to December 2020 were enrolled using purposive sampling technique. Ethical clearance was obtained from Ethics Committee, PGIMER, Chandigarh, and written consent was taken from participants. Data were collected by interviewing participants as per interview schedule comprising (a) personal profile of antenatal mothers, (b) obstetric profile, and (c) oral hygiene practices and perception. Oral hygiene status was observed by assessment sheet (a) checklist comprising dental markers and (b) plaque index tool for assessing oral hygiene of antenatal mothers. Results: The findings of the study revealed that majority of mothers (86%) had correct perception that poor oral hygiene negatively affects the child and 58% believed that brushing does not cause loosening of teeth. When practices were assessed, it was found that 74.5% mothers brushed once only, 99.5% did not floss and 98.5% did not use mouthwash. Although the perception held by mothers was correct, they did not have good oral hygiene practices. When oral hygiene was assessed, it was found that 84.5% mothers had poor oral hygiene because of various dental problems like gum bleeding, caries, gingivitis, etc., whereas only 3% mothers had good oral hygiene. Conclusion: The study concluded that a majority of antenatal mothers had correct perception about oral hygiene, but they did not put it into practice. Many of them had poor oral hygiene. Hence, there is an urgent need for comprehensive educational program to promote good oral health and impart education about correct oral hygiene practices, as oral hygiene is a neglected aspect in pregnancy.
