Abstract:
In developing countries, the prevalence of dental caries in children remains high, which means that implementing a simple and convenient classification is critical. The classification needs to be evidence-based and needs to reflect tooth-level information. In this study, the prevalence of dental caries in the primary dentition of 352 Myanmar school children at the ages of 5, 6, and 7 was analyzed at the tooth level to clarify the underlying data structure of the patterns of dental caries in the population. Ninety-three percent of subjects had caries in primary dentition and the mean number of decayed teeth in primary dentition was 7.54 ± 4.82. Based on the item response theory analysis, mixed-effect modeling, and Bayesian network analysis, we proposed the following classification: Group 1: No dental caries; Group 2: Dental caries in molar teeth or dental caries in maxillary anterior teeth; Group 3: Dental caries in both molar and maxillary anterior teeth; Group 4: Dental carries in mandibular anterior teeth. Dental caries (dmft) in the groups was different between groups. The results of characteristics of tooth-level information and classification presented in this study may be a useful instrument for the analysis of the data of dental caries prevalence in primary dentition.

Abstract:
The dental records of 435 dogs seen in a dental referral practice were reviewed. Twenty-three dogs (5.3%) had one or more caries lesions. Of the 47 caries lesions, 19 (40%) were pit and fissure caries, 17 (36%) were smooth surface caries, and 11 (23%) were root caries. Twelve dogs had symmetrical lesions. The teeth most commonly involved were the fourth premolar and first and second molar teeth. Twenty affected teeth were extracted and 17 were treated by cavity preparation and restoration with composite or glass ionomer materials. Ten restorations in four dogs were examined one year or more following treatment; all of the restorations were intact and there was no progression of the caries.

Abstract:
Although a link between dietary changes, caries, and dental development has been observed, the literature provides little insight about this relationship. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between dental caries and dental development in a clinical sample of Albanian children and adolescents. In total, 118 children and adolescents, born between 1995 and 2004 and aged 6–15 years, were included. Dental caries in the deciduous dentition was assessed using the Decayed, Filled Teeth (dft) index and dental caries in the permanent dentition was assessed using the Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index. Dental development during the permanent dentition was determined using the Demirjian method. Linear and ordinal regression models were applied to analyze the associations of dental caries with dental age and developmental stages of each left mandibular tooth. Dental caries in the deciduous dentition, estimated as a median dft of 2.0 (90% range, 0.0–9.1), was significantly associated with lower dental age (β = -0.21; 90% CI: -0.29, -0.12) and with delayed development of the canine, both premolars, and the second molar. Untreated dental caries (dt) was associated with lower dental age (β = -0.19; 90% CI: -0.28, -0.10). Dental caries in the permanent dentition, estimated as a median DMFT of 1.0 (90% range, 0.0–8.0), was not significantly associated with dental age (β = 0.05; 90% CI: -0.04, 0.14). However, the DMFT was associated with the advanced stages of development of both premolars and the second molar. The untreated dental caries in the deciduous dentition delays the development of permanent teeth.

Abstract:
Aim. To determine the role of complications of caries of deciduous teeth in the structure of pathology of hard dental tissues. Methods. Conducted was a dental examination and treatment of 1016 children aged 1 to 9 years who were treated at the children’s dental clinic. Results. The overall prevalence of caries was 78.64%, the need for treatment was - 73.82%. Complications of dental caries were found in 60.83% of cases. 55.21% of children had temporary tooth pulpitis, 41.24% - had a diagnosis of «periodontitis». Premature removal of deciduous teeth was performed in 12.11% of cases. At an early age (1-3 years) 47.35% of the children were registered as having affected deciduous teeth, almost half of them had teeth with complicated dental caries (20.0%). In children of preschool age (4-6 years) the prevalence of caries disease was 92.17%, and complications of caries were diagnosed in 78.80% of cases. In the group of primary school children (7-9 years) the proportion of children with affected temporary teeth was 98.34%. 86.77% of children had deciduous teeth with complications of caries. Every child who comes to children’s dentist at an early age, already has an average of 2.33 affected teeth, in the preschool age - 4.8 teeth, in the primary school years - 5.02 affected deciduous teeth. In evaluating the intensity of dental caries it was established that each child had on average 1.96 teeth with uncomplicated caries and 2.08 teeth with caries complications. Treatment or retreatment was necessary in 70.69% of cases of affected teeth, of them uncomplicated caries accounted for 35.96%. Conclusion. Revealed was a high prevalence and need for treatment of complicated caries of deciduous teeth starting from an early age.

Abstract:
Introduction. The problem of chronic diseases such as caries is very complex because it appears very early in life, often during childhood. The number of involved people is growing as well as the number of affected teeth and surfaces that eventually lead to teeth loss. The aim of this study was to determine the dental status of adolescents age 12 and 15 in three municipalities in Bosnia, Foca, Cajnice and Kalinovik. Material and methods. The study included 506 school children both genders of six schools in three municipalities (Foca, Cajnice and Kalinovik). Teeth examination and criteria for diagnosis and coding were estimated based of criteria of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD). To estimate dental health DMFT index [number of carious teeth (D), missing (M) and filled teeth (F)] and related indices (Person Caries Index, Teeth Caries Index, Average Caries Index and DMFT structure) were used. Results. Dental health status and caries prevalence were presented through the values of the Average Caries Index. The value of Average Caries Index for examined children was 6.17. Of all examined children 96.05% of them had at least one carious tooth. The average value of Teeth Caries Index was 23.04%. Conclusion. Dental health of the children in the examined region was characterized by high values of untreated carious teeth as well as the other components of DMFT index. Therefore, preventive measures and primary dental care must be implemented better among school children.

Abstract:
This cross sectional study on oral condition among school going children in Sylhet city was conducted at Osmani Medical High School, Dorgah Gate, Sylhet, Bangladesh. This study was carried out on 8th October, 2019 among 208 students, mostly 12 years aged studying in Class VI. The main objective of the study was to assess the oral health condition of school going children through decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) status. Data was collected by personal interview and clinical examination of the respondents. Among 208 children, 96 (46.2%) were boys and 112 (53.8%) were girls. Among all, 63 (30.3%) respondents brush their teeth once daily while 137 (65.9 %) respondents brush twice a day, and 8 (3.8 %) of them brush their teeth more than twice daily. Fluoride containing toothpaste is used by 73 (35.1 %) students, 112 (53.8 %) students did not know whether their toothpaste contain fluoride or not, and 23 (11.1 %) students do not use fluoride. Among all respondents, 125(60.09 %) did not have any decayed tooth, while 83(39.90 %) had tooth decay, and 20(9.6 %) had their teeth filled. Normal gingival condition was found in 185 (88.94 %) subjects, but 23(11.06 %) of them had red or swollen gingiva. The mean DMFT of the study population was 1.19 which is considered as “low” according to “WHO quantification for the DMFT index”.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The dentin-pulp complex comprises mineralized dentin and the vital soft tissues encased inside dentin, i.e. odontoblasts and pulp tissue. During caries progression, the dentinal minerals are dissolved and eventually the collagenous organic matrix is degraded. However, the exact mechanisms and enzymes responsible for the organic matrix breakdown remain unknown. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of endopeptidases capable of degrading in concert virtually all extracellular matrix components, are expressed during normal dentin-pulp complex formation and maintenance. MMP activity has also been suggested to contribute to the organic matrix degradation during dentin caries progression and to the repair and defense reactions elicited by caries in the dentin-pulp complex cells. The aim of the study was to further elucidate the role of host MMPs in dentin caries progression and the origin of MMPs in carious dentin as well as the possible changes in MMP expression in the cells of the dentin-pulp complex in response to caries. MMP inhibitors decreased the area of dentin caries lesions in vivo, suggesting the involvement of host MMPs in dentin caries pathogenesis. When the overall MMP gene expression was examined by cDNA microarray, pooled pulp samples demonstrated a high level of MMP-13 expression, but failed to show any unequivocal changes in MMP expression due to caries. MMP-13 expression is rare among normal human adult tissues. Real-time quantitative PCR of individual pulp and odontoblast samples demonstrated a rather large variation in relative MMP-13 mRNA expression between samples, especially pulp samples. Protein expression of MMP-13 was detected in pulp and odontoblasts without any major differences between the tissues of sound and carious teeth. This was also the case with the MMP-20 (enamelysin) protein, which was demonstrated in odontoblasts and the pulp tissue of fully developed human teeth. MMP-20, MMP-8, and gelatinases (especially MMP-2) were demonstrated in human dentin, and dentinal MMPs exhibited activity against native and denatured type I collagen when released. The study demonstrates the presence of MMPs in the soft and hard tissue compartments of the dentin-pulp complex. These enzymes may also contribute to dentin caries progression and response reactions to caries.

Abstract:
The human mouth houses the second most diverse microbial community in the body, with almost 700 species of bacteria colonizing the hard surfaces of teeth and the soft tissues of the oral mucosa. To compete in the relatively exposed oral cavity, resident microbes must avoid being replaced by newcomers. This selective constraint, coupled with pressure on the host to cultivate a beneficial microbiome, has rendered a commensal oral microbiota that displays colonization resistance, protecting the human host from invasive species, including pathogens. Current control of dental plaque-related diseases is non-specific and is centered on the removal of plaque by mechanical means. Several new methods based on the modulation of the microbiome that aim at maintaining and re-establishing a healthy oral ecosystem have been developed and has greatly expanded our knowledge of the composition and function of the oral microbiome in health and disease. Promoting a balanced microbiome is therefore important to effectively maintain or restore oral health. This review provides an updated body of knowledge on oral microbiome in health and disease and discusses the implications for modern-day oral healthcare. Filipino Oral Microbiome Research to develop a policy framework for microbiome-based management of dental diseases and opportunities will be discussed.

Abstract:
The first three chapters of this book have introduced the basics of what dental caries is and how to detect lesions. The next chapter will consider the concept of caries control and begins by explaining why throughout this book the preferred term is caries control, rather than prevention. Remember, the formation of the dental biofilm, and its metabolism is an ubiquitous natural process; it cannot be prevented. So: Question: Who is susceptible to caries lesion development? Answer: Everyone with teeth, from cradle to grave because the metabolism in the dental biofilm is an ubiquitous, natural process. Lesion development and progression, which may occur over time, are symptoms of the process. We should aim to control these processes so that the development of a clinically visible lesion is avoided. However, if clinical lesions develop and progress these symptoms can be arrested by controlling the environment. Thus, all patients with teeth should know how lesions may form and progress, and how to control this. Please note the emphasis on the patient. It is the patient who controls caries with the support and encouragement of the professional. The goals of medicine (and dentistry) are to promote and preserve health if it is impaired, to restore health, and minimize suffering and distress. These goals are embodied in the word ‘prevention’. It is agreed that, with dental caries, this is basically what the dental profession is doing—and has always been doing. In many ways this has become a mantra—the dentists rightly claim that they are conducting prevention when recommending the population to eat less sugar, use fluorides, brush teeth, and when lesions occur, drill and fill, in order to restore the dentition and reduce pain and discomfort. Unfortunately, when dentists go for restoration—without ensuring that the patient understands how to control further caries lesion development—they indirectly stimulate the repair cycle, which ultimately may lead to loss of teeth (see Chapter 5). Sometimes the filling may be described as ‘treatment’ to contrast it with ‘prevention’. The dentist is paid for fillings (treatment) and minimally rewarded for so-called prevention.

Abstract:
The oral cavity is an open sink. The mucous membranes and teeth are constantly covered with a salivary film whose proteins adhere to all surfaces in the mouth. Saliva is not just a fluid flushing through the oral cavity, but a highly complex proteinaceous liquid that contains millions of microorganisms (bacteria). Depending on their different surface properties (different species have different surface proteins comprising their cell wall, which coat the surface of each cell) they stick to the salivary proteins at the surfaces of mucous membranes and teeth. These oral microorganisms comprise the endogenous flora of the mouth. They are living in symbiosis with the cells of the human body and comprise what is today called the metagenome. There are more bacteria covering all body surfaces in each individual than there are eukaryotic cells in the whole body. Eukaryotes store their DNA in a membrane ‘sac’ called the nucleus. Plants, fungi, and animals are eukaryotes, whereas bacteria are prokaryotes with no distinct nuclear compartment in which to store their DNA. Prokaryotes live in a variety of ecological niches. An occlusal fissure is an example of such a niche and so is an approximal space between neighbouring teeth, the gingival crevice, and periodontal pockets. Bacteria are astonishingly varied in their biochemical capabilities—in fact, more so than eukaryotic cells and each ecological niche may have a particular environment (different pH, inflammatory exudate, etc.), which will influence the microbial function and composition. Until recently, traditional bacteriological methods were used to isolate and culture microorganisms in the laboratory, but it was realized that only a few could be cultivated! DNA sequencing techniques (genomics) of populations of microorganisms from a variety of natural habitats (including the oral cavity) showed that most species have not been found by these traditional culturing techniques. According to some estimates, about 99% of prokaryotic species remain to be characterized. For this reason alone, it does not make sense to think that a particular ‘caries microorganism’ exists. There are also implications for the many attempts to find salivary microbial and biochemical biomarkers that might be used clinically to assess caries risk.

Abstract:
Dentist, follow root canal therapy to treat teeth with pulpal involvement due to dental caries or as a result of trauma. In order to restore fractured and broken down teeth internal reinforcement is required in the form of a post-core restoration. The post extends into the root canal space and provides retention for the core, which subsequently helps to provide a foundation for the crown restoration. For the treatment procedure, post, core and crown are casted by an indirect procedure by taking the measurements from patient’s tooth in the form of impressions. These impressions are then converted into solid gypsum casts and then wax patterns are developed in order to facilitate casting by the lost wax technique. The final shape of the core and crown and success of the treatment entirely depends upon the skill of the dental technician and involves a number of variables in impressioning, cast poring and wax pattern fabrication. The treatment can be further simplified by making a prototype model of the post, core and the crown by taking the dimensions from the patient’s tooth. This paper presents four prototype models prepared from the solid model of the original tooth and three restored tooth.

Abstract:
В статье представлены данные по опросу школьников Республики Адыгея по вопросам пищевых привычек и навыков гигиены полости рта. Исследование показало, что более чем в половине случаев выявлен ряд факторов, провоцирующих развитие кариеса зубов (жевательная леность, частое употребление газированных напитков и кондитерских изделий). Значительная часть опрошенных детей не регулярно чистят зубы (67,31-71,43%), 21,43-40,38% не учитывают возраст при выборе стоматологических гигиенических средств, и только 17,42-57,14% в дополнение к зубной пасте и щетке используют для ухода за полостью рта иные средства гигиены. The article presents data on a survey of schoolchildren of the Republic of Adygea on food habits and oral hygiene skills. The study showed that more than half of the cases revealed a number of factors that provoke the development of dental caries (chewing laziness, frequent use of carbonated drinks and confectionery). A significant proportion of the children surveyed do not regularly brush their teeth (67,31-71,43%), 21,43-40,38% age is not taken into account when choosing dental hygiene products, and only 17.42-57.14% use other hygiene products for oral care in addition to toothpaste and a brush.

Abstract:
In the last decades, research in the orthodontic field has focused on the development of more comfortable and aesthetic appliances such as thermoformed aligners. Aligners have been used in orthodontics since the mid 20-century. Nonetheless, there is still not enough knowledge about how they interact with teeth. This paper is focused on the development of a Finite Element Method (FEM) model to be used in the optimization process of geometrical attributes of removable aligners. The presented method integrates Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data and optical data in order to obtain a customized model of the dental structures, which include both crown and root shapes. The digital simulation has been focused on analyzing the behavior of three upper frontal teeth. Moreover, the analyses have been carried out by using different aligners’ thicknesses with the support of composite structures polymerized on teeth surfaces while simulating a 2 degrees rotation of an upper central incisor.

Abstract:
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.
