Objectives: This study was carried out to evaluate the dental students’perception about condition of their gums and teeth and prevalence of dental caries. StudyDesign: Descriptive cross sectional study. Setting: Liaquat University of Medical and HealthSciences. Period: July 2011 to December 2011. Material and Method: The sample size was200 students comprising of both male and female. Clinical Oral examination was performedwith the help of mouth mirror and explorer in dental chair. The perception of dental studentsabout condition of their gums and teeth was obtained through questionnaire. Results: Theresults revealed that 25 % of students in present study had dental decay. The mean DMFT scorewas 0.625. Moreover, the mean DMFT score for male and female students was 0.658 and 0.576respectively. The results about distribution of DMFT components indicated that the decayed(D) teeth were in greatest number followed by filled (F) and missed (M) teeth. Conclusion:There was statistically no significant association between dental caries and gender. Moreover,prevalence of dental caries was significantly different between those who perceived their gumsand teeth condition excellent and good compared to the students who perceived their gumsand teeth condition as poor.

ABSTRACTObjectives: The aim of this study was to compare the differences in self-reported oral health attitudes and behaviour between preclinical and clinical dental students in Turkey using Hiroshima University Dental Behavioural Inventory (HU-DBI). Methods: A Turkish version HU-DBI questionnaire with additional 7 questions, totally 27 items, was distributed among 1022 dental students. Results: The response rate was 75% (486 preclinical and 278 clinical students). Significantly higher (P=0.000) percentage of the preclinical students, compared to clinical students, worry about colour of their teeth, are bothered by the colour of their gums, put off going to the dentist until they have a toothache; think that their teeth are getting worse despite their daily brushing, it is impossible to prevent gum disease with tooth brushing alone, and they cannot help having false teeth when they are old. Moreover, the preclinical students more frequently agree on that their gums tend to bleed when they brush their teeth, they use a toothbrush which has hard bristles, and they don’t feel they’ve brushed well unless with strong strokes (P=0.000). However, a higher proportion of clinical students compared to preclinical students brush each of their teeth carefully, think that they can clean their teeth without using toothpaste, have had their dentist tell them that they brush very well (P=0.000). The HU-DBI score of clinical students (7.47±1.86) was significantly (P=0.000) higher than preclinical students (6.00±1.86). Conclusions: Dental students should have a comprehensive program, including their self-care regimes, starting from their first year of education. (Eur J Dent 2011;5:253-259)

There is mixed evidence regarding the impact of poor dental health on cardiovascular disease and other health outcomes. Our objective was to determine the outcomes associated with poor dental health among hospitalized patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) at our institution. We enrolled a consecutive sample of adult patients admitted to an academic medical center. We gathered demographic, health and dental information, reviewed their medical records and then examined their teeth. We analyzed data using SPSS V.24. There was a high prevalence of dental loss among all hospitalized patients. Older age (p<0.001), smoking (p=0.034), having DM (p=0.001) and lower frequency of teeth brushing (p<0.001) were predictors of having a lower number of healthy teeth. Among DM and non-DM patients, fewer remaining healthy teeth was associated with presence of heart disease (p=0.025 and 0.003, respectively). Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) had a higher prevalence of stroke (p=0.006) while patients without DM had a higher number of discharge medications (p=0.001) associated with having fewer number of healthy teeth. There was no correlation between number of healthy teeth and the length or frequency of hospitalization. Patients with DM are more likely to have fewer number of healthy teeth compared with non-DM patients. Fewer number of healthy teeth was associated with higher prevalence of heart disease in both DM and non-DM patients and with more discharge medications in non-DM patients.

Relevance. The high prevalence of tooth decay requires investigation of its risk factors. The aim was to study tooth decay risk factors among six-year-old children according to the level of dental health (based on parents’ assessment).Materials and methods. The research evaluated the dental health of six-year-olds and factors defining their oral health; The study surveyed 515 parents of six-year-old children from 7 kindergartens in Arkhangelsk. Pearson chi-square test assessed the differences in the frequency of tooth decay factors among six-year-old children according to the level of dental health. The accepted significance level was 0.05.Results. The Arkhangelsk parents evaluated the dental health of their six-year-olds as relatively favourable: good (41.2%) and satisfactory (46.6%). Only 9.5% of children had poor health. Children generally had good oral hygiene skills: 86.8% liked brushing their teeth; 60.2% squeezed the optimal amount of toothpaste on the toothbrush; 56.7% brushed their teeth twice a day. The dental literacy of parents was satisfactory: 67.0% purchased toothpaste for children; 90.8% considered necessary to treat primary teeth; 69.2% replaced toothbrush every three months; 59.7% visited a pediatric dentist twice a year. The children with poor dental health had insufficient oral hygiene skills: 46.9% did not like teeth cleaning; 51.1% brushed their teeth once a day. Their diet was not healthy: 100.0% did not eat hard food; 65.3% frequently consumed sweets. The parents of children with poor dental health had low medical literacy and poor oral hygiene: 46.9% did not know that treatment of primary teeth was necessary; 42.9% considered the treatment of primary teeth as unnecessary; 32.6% purchased whatever toothpaste. The general negative trend is to use toothpaste without fluoride (68.1%).Conclusions. The results of the study demonstrated a significantly higher frequency of cariogenic factors in children with poor dental health.

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.

Introduction. Oral health is an important part of general health. Knowledge, beliefs and attitudes that students acquire during dental school can influence their behavior towards not just their own health, but also towards health in their immediate environment. The aim of the study was to assess the level of oral health among dental students of the second and fifth year at the University of East Sarajevo. Material and Methods. Sixty-six students from the Dental Department of the Faculty of Medicine, the University of East Sarajevo were assessed. The study was conducted in 2012. The parameters used to assess oral health were: DMFT (decayed, missing, filled teeth) index and its components, index for the assessment of periodontal tissues (CPITN), and Green?s Vermillion oral hygiene debris index (DI). According to the methodology and criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO) all patients were examined using standard dental diagnostic tools under artificial light on dental chair. Results. Average number of decayed teeth of the second year students was 9.93 while it was 11.44 in the fifth year students. The mean dental caries index was 38.23% and person caries index was 100%. The average value of the debris index was 0.42. Healthy periodontium had 18.2% of students, while in 34.8% of students shallow periodontal pockets were observed. Conclusion. Oral hygiene and periodontal health was satisfactory in dental students. However, high average values of decayed teeth indicated that for better results caries preventive services should be activated earlier, even in school or preschool period.

Background/Aim. It is considered that over 450 million people worldwide suffer from some form of mental disorder. Previous studies in other countries have shown that schizophrenia is among the most frequent. Oral health is significant for general health and should not be separated from mental health. Studies in other countries have shown an increased incidence of carious and extracted teeth, and less incidence of filled teeth in this group of psychiatric patients. The aim of this study was to establish condition of the existing teeth, to determine the prevalence of caries and to consider possible risk factors that contribute to the current oral health status of hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. Methods. The study comprised 190 patients with schizophrenia, hospitalized at the Clinic for Psychiatric Disorders ?Dr. Laza Lazarevic? in Belgrade, and 190 mentally healthy patients at the Clinic for Periodontology and Oral Medicine, Faculty of Dental Medicine in Belgrade. The decayed, missing, filled (DMF) index, sociodemographic and economic characteristics were registered in both groups, as well as characteristics of the primary disease of hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. Results. The value of DMF index (representing the sum of carious, extracted and filled teeth), in the hospitalized patients with schizophrenia was 18.57 ? 7.07 and 12.47 ? 5.64 in the healthy group (p = 0.000). The structure of the DMF index in the study group showed that caries and extracted teeth dominated with 88.1%; in the control group, filled teeth dominated with 55.6%, which was a statistically significant difference for all the three observed variables. Conclusion. Hospitalized patients with schizophrenia had twice as many caries and extracted teeth, and five time less filled teeth than healthy people. The patient?s age and taking antiparkinsonics were established as predictors of the increased DMF index in hospitalized patients with schizophrenia.

Dental health remains a public health problem with increased the prevalence of dental problems from 2007 to 2013. The problem is highest in the early adolescent age group. A dental problem occurs due to lack of behavior on the routine toothbrush (2.8%). The purpose of this study was to describe dental problems in Islamic boarding schools in Medan. This study used a cross sectional design in seven Islamic boarding schools in Medan with a total sample of 436 students in the 5.319 total population. System random sampling was applied in this study and the questionnaire was distributed to sample. The data analysis used was descriptive frequency. The results showed that the behavior of brushing teeth based on age group was highest in the early adolescent group in the category of brushing teeth in the morning (78%) and afternoon (92%). Based on gender, both men and women showed the highest tooth brushing behavior in the morning (37.8%; 40.4%) and afternoon (45.9%; 46.6%). Dental health problems by age group were included in the category of healthy teeth (49.1%). Based on gender also showed dental problems for both men and women (25.9%; 24.1%) in the category of healthy teeth. Dental health among female students is still found to have dental health problems caused by the behavior of brushing teeth that is not in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health, namely after breakfast and before going to bed at night.

Introduction: Adolescents have a high risk of developing caries in Portugal. The present study is designed to assess dental caries experience among the adolescents by the application of DMFT index, characterize the oral health risk factors and to determine the association between caries experience and socio-demographic variables. The characterization of the oral health behaviors of adolescents of the central region of Portugal will help in the development of specific oral health education strategies to improve oral health among the local communities. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a convenient sample of 694 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years attending public schools in two Portuguese districts using a structured questionnaire designed to investigate oral health and behavior of participants. In addition, a clinical examination was carried out noting the decayed, missing and filled teeth. A descriptive analysis of the variables was performed using the Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p<0.05). A multivariate analysis was applied for analysis of the association between variables. Results: The mean DMFT index score of 2.91±2.9 was obtained. Of the total sample, 73% consumed sugary food daily, 50.1% considered having good oral health and 70.8% did not report pain in the last 12 months. Most adolescents (79.4%) brushed their teeth daily and 60% did not use dental floss. Of the total sample, 96.4% had a dental appointment in the last 12 months, 46.4% of which was for preventive purposes. Applying the Chi-square statistical test, we verified that the adolescents who brush their teeth daily presented a good perception about their oral health (p<0.001), the DMFT index scores were associated with the residence area (p=0.01) and the presence of dental caries was associated with the perception of oral health (p=0.049) and sugary food intake (p=0.029).Conclusion: Portuguese adolescents presented a low DMFT index. The DMFT index was associated with residence area, perception of oral health and sugary food intake. Daily toothbrushing was associated with self-perception of oral health. It is suggested that oral health promotion and prevention programs should aim to reduce the risks of oral disease development.

Health is very important to always pay attention to. Healthy behavior can affect the health of everybody. Dental and oral health is a part of general health, and to keep teeth and mouth healthy can be done with the right techniques and ways to brush teeth. Based on Basic Health Research, dental and oral diseases still occur in North Sumatra province, both urban and rural. Therefore, through the Community Service Institution at USU, a community service activity was carried out under the title Improvement of Dental and Mouth Health through the Counseling for Dental and Oral Health Care for Children of Melati Aisyiah SLB Orphanage Homes in Bandar Khalifah. This activity is based on the need to maintain oral health from an early age so that good behavior in maintaining health can be accustomed from childhood. In addition, there are only a few orphanage children who realize correctly the importance of dental health for general health. Counseling on the maintenance of dental and oral health in children of the SLB Melati Aisyiyah Orphanage, Bandar Khalifah can provide a deep understanding of the importance of maintaining oral health by brushing teeth early on.

Associations of numbers of teeth present and of missing teeth with Alzheimer’s disease were cross-sectionally analyzed using the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan. Dental care claims data of patients aged 60 years or older diagnosed with periodontitis (n = 4,009,345) or missing teeth (n = 662,182) were used to obtain information about the numbers of teeth present and of missing teeth, respectively, and they were combined with medical care claims data including the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Numbers of teeth present and of missing teeth excluding third molars were calculated using the dental formula in the claims for periodontitis and missing teeth, respectively, and categorized into three groups each. Percentages of subjects treated for Alzheimer’s disease with 20–28, 10–19, and 1–9 teeth present were 1.95%, 3.87%, and 6.86%, respectively, in patients diagnosed as having periodontitis, and those treated for Alzheimer’s disease with 1–13, 14–27, and 28 missing teeth were 2.67%, 5.51%, and 8.70%, respectively, in patients diagnosed as having missing teeth. Logistic regression models using treatment for Alzheimer’s disease as an outcome variable and adjusting for age and sex showed that odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for patients with 10–19 and 1–9 teeth (reference: 20–28 teeth) were 1.11 (1.10–1.13) and 1.34 (1.32–1.37), respectively, (p<0.001), in patients diagnosed as having periodontitis, and odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for patients with 14–27 missing teeth and 28 missing teeth (reference: 1–13 missing teeth) were 1.40 (1.36–1.44) and 1.81 (1.74–1.89), respectively, (p<0.001), in patients diagnosed as having missing teeth. In conclusion, the results of the present study using Japanese dental claims data showed that older people visiting dental offices with fewer teeth present and a greater number of missing teeth are more likely to have Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract Introduction: A 200% increase in population growth among those over 85 is projected in the United States by 2050. Approximately half of women over 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. Osteoporosis disproportionately affects old-old adults (those between 85 and 95) as more than half of those admitted to the hospital for hip fracture are over 80 years of age. Older adults are also likely to need dental care. The American Dental Association guidelines offer preventive recommendations for those over 60 years of age but do not address the nuances of treatment options for nonagenarian persons. This case illustrates the treatment dilemma of nonagenarians wishing to optimize both bone and dental health. Case: We have a 95-year-old performance artist, who seeks to optimize bone health in the face of recommended dental work. She has been physically active her whole life and consumes adequate quantities of calcium and Vitamin D. She doesn’t smoke but has needed periodic glucocorticoids for exacerbations of chronic lung disease. At age 84 she began ibandronate but stopped due to worsening of esophageal reflux. She was then treated with teriparatide for 2 years. DEXA scans have shown declining hip T scores from -2.8 at age 88 to -3.5 at age 94 (osteoporotic bone density: T-score lower than -2.5). Her dentist recommended the extraction of several teeth before beginning zoledronate. She refused tooth extraction and sought treatment options to enhance her bone density. Discussion: Persons of advanced age are likely to have oral health problems requiring dental treatment. Bone health treatments such as bisphosphonates and denosumab are generally safe but can potentially cause osteonecrosis of the jaw even with simple tooth extraction in old-old population. Specific guidelines are lacking for treatment to maintain bone and dental health. The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons suggests that extractions and implants can be conducted as usual in patients who have been treated with oral bisphosphonates for less than four years and lack other clinical risk factors. A delay of two months is suggested for those who have been treated for more than four years or has taken glucocorticoids concomitantly. The approach is uncertain for old-old adults who are taking treatment but develop a need for dental surgery. More research is needed about options for optimizing dental health while enhancing bone density in aging population.

This study examined whether the number of teeth contributes to the compression of morbidity, measured as a shortening of life expectancy with disability, an extension of healthy life expectancy, and overall life expectancy. A prospective cohort study was conducted. A self-reported baseline survey was given to 126,438 community-dwelling older people aged ≥65 y in Japan in 2010, and 85,161 (67.4%) responded. The onset of functional disability and all-cause mortality were followed up for 1,374 d (follow-up rate = 96.1%). A sex-stratified illness-death model was applied to estimate the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for 3 health transitions (healthy to dead, healthy to disabled, and disabled to dead). Absolute differences in life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and life expectancy with disability according to the number of teeth were also estimated. Age, denture use, socioeconomic status, health status, and health behavior were adjusted. Compared with the edentulous participants, participants with ≥20 teeth had lower risks of transitioning from healthy to dead (adjusted HR, 0.58 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.50–0.68] for men and 0.70 [95% CI, 0.57–0.85] for women) and from healthy to disabled (adjusted HR, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.44–0.61] for men and 0.58 [95% CI, 0.49–0.68] for women). They also transitioned from disabled to dead earlier (adjusted HR, 1.26 [95% CI, 0.99–1.60] for men and 2.42 [95% CI, 1.72–3.38] for women). Among the participants aged ≥85 y, those with ≥20 teeth had a longer life expectancy (men: +57 d; women: +15 d) and healthy life expectancy (men: +92 d; women: +70 d) and a shorter life expectancy with disability (men: –35 d; women: –55 d) compared with the edentulous participants. Similar associations were observed among the younger participants and those with 1 to 9 or 10 to 19 teeth. The presence of remaining teeth was associated with a significant compression of morbidity: older Japanese adults’ life expectancy with disability was compressed by 35 to 55 d within the follow-up of 1,374 d.

The relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and oral health is well-established. We investigated whether the association between SES and the number of sound teeth in adults is explained by dental attendance patterns, in turn determined by the effect of SES on barriers to dental attendance. Data on 3817 participants from the 1998 Adult Dental Health Survey in the UK were analyzed. Using structural equation modeling, we found a model with 4 factors (aging, SES, attendance-profile, and barriers-to-dental-attendance) providing an adequate fit to the covariance matrix of the 9 covariates. The final model suggests that the association between SES and the number of sound teeth in adults in the UK is partially explained by the pathway [SES → barriers-to-dental-attendance → dental-attendance-profile → number-of-sound-teeth]. A direct relationship, SES → number-of-sound-teeth, is also significant.

Introduction: Unhealthy behavior such as neglecting to brush and floss, using tobacco and alcohol, and inadequate nutrition can adversely affect dental health. The frequency of dental visits is also of great importance in the early detection of different oral disorders. Our aim was to assess oral health behavior and attitudes among students of the 1st year of two health and non-health oriented studies of University of Sarajevo.
 Methods: We included 119 students of the 1st year of Faculty of Health Studies and 108 students of the 1st year of Faculty of Architecture of the University of Sarajevo. A self-administered questionnaire was used, comprising demographic data, data on oral hygiene habits, dental attendance pattern, a number of extracted teeth as well as problems with the appearance, comfort, and social life due to teeth problems.
 Results: Faculty of Architecture students significantly more often visit their dentist (χ2 = 24.174, df = 5, p = 0.00). Faculty of Health Studies students have significantly more extracted teeth (χ2 = 35.54, df = 4, p = 0.001). Dental health habits were significantly better at the students Faculty of Architecture (χ2 = 16.391, df = 2, p = 0.001). No significant difference between the groups about about avoiding encounters due to teeth and dentures problems.
 Conclusion: Oral health related attitudes may be better in students of non-health oriented studies, however, these results have to be confirmed by more investigations and larger studies.

This study aimed to explore the relationship of the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) with sociodemographic variables and the dental health status of older people who belong to Elderly Clubs in the district of Puerto Montt, Chile. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 140 elderly people from Elderly Clubs in the district of Puerto Montt, Chile. Sociodemographic and dental variables were studied using a questionnaire and clinical examination. The GOHAI instrument validated in Chile was applied to measure the OHRQoL. Results: The mean of the total GOHAI was 50.8±8.6 points, and the median was 53. Of the 140 elderly people, 87.9% were females, the means of age and years of education were 73.2±6.2 and 7.5±4.4 years, respectively. 30% were edentulous, the number of remaining teeth was 7.8±8.1, the OHI-S was 1.3±1.0. 85.7% wore dentures, and the time of denture wearing was 8.8±9.4 years. Significant associations were found between the total GOHAI and non-belonging to an indigenous people (p=0.024), being edentulous (p=0.006), and the presence of healthy teeth (p=0.039). Conclusion: The GOHAI showed a significant relationship with not-belonging to an indigenous ethnicity, being edentulous, and the number of healthy teeth. The OHRQoL was higher in males, with formal education, edentulous, dentated without teeth mobility, with complete dentures, and moderate denture hygiene.

One of the ways to overcome dental and oral health problems is by brushing teeth, the optimal result of brushing teeth properly is the morning after breakfast and the night before going to bed. Tooth brushing using toothbrushes is a form of dental plaque removal and prevention of accumulation of the teeth and gingival surface because plaque is the main etiological factor of periodontal disease and is associated with dental caries, therefore in removing plaque it is very important to determine long-term success in preventing caries tooth. Through the promotion of dental health education, it is expected to increase knowledge and foster awareness of the importance of toothbrushes to maintain healthy teeth and mouth. The purpose of this study is to recognize the differences in the influence of dental health education promotion using blog videos (vlog) with lecture methods on the practice of brushing teeth. This type of research is a Quasi-experiment with the design of the Two-Group Design. Samples were taken by purposive sampling namely SD Panghegar and SD Sukarela. Univariate and bivariate analysis with Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. This study shows the promotion of dental health education using vlog and lectures has an effect on increasing the practice of brushing teeth. It can be seen that there is an increase in the practice of brushing teeth from the value of pre-test and post-test respectively with a value of p 0.05. But based on statistical tests there is no significant difference in influence by using both methods with a value of p = 0.035. This means that both methods are effective in increasing knowledge about the practice of brushing teeth, and there is no significant difference between the promotion of dental health education using vlogs and using lectures.

This article discusses the education of oral and dental health is very important in the pandemic, because gig and mouth are vital organs in humans. However, during the pandemic the problems of oral and dental health services were problematic. people become vulnerable to viruses due to the rapid process of virus exchange. Dental and verbal wellbeing includes a tall potential to transmit sars-cov-2 infection or superior known as crown. Since, the transmission of the infection can be through beads or sprinkles of saliva, that's , this fluid can be showered within the center of the examination prepare which is at that point connected to the hardware utilized to look at the teeth. So people are encouraged to maintain dental and oral health independently for the non-emergency category: Avoiding plaque buildup, Brushing teeth regularly with the correct techniques, using dental floss, Reducing foods and beverages high in sugar and acid.

INTRODUCTION:The utilization of dental service is an important factor of oral health. The utilization of dental service is affected by the perception and the importance that the person gives to their oral health and needs. This study described the relationship between dental health perception and dental service utilization among school children in south Jakarta.OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relationship between perception of dental health and utilization of dental service. METHODS:A qualitative analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 students of 12 elementary schools in south Jakarta, selected using proportional sampling method. A questionnaire was administered to elicit data on dental health perception and dental service utilization.RESULTS:Most students perceived their dental health as good and never had dental sickness.Almost half of the sample never utilized dental service and the utilization of dental service mostly for extracting and filling the teeth. Chi square test showed significant difference between the perception of the occurrence of dental sickness with the frequency and pattern of dental service utilization, and no significant difference between the perception of the health of teeth and oral soft tissue with the utilization of dental service. CONCLUSIONS: There were relationship between the perception of the occurrence of dental sickness with the frequency and with the pattern of dental service utilization. There were no relationship between the perception of the health of teeth and oral soft tissue with the utilization of dental service.

Paracoccidioidomycosis, a systemic fungal disease, can lead to dental disorders. As studies on dental problems in patients with paracoccidioidomycosis are few, we evaluated dental disorders and self-perceived oral health in this population. The objective is to evaluate the oral condition of patients with paracoccidioidomycosis as well as their perception of the problem through a cross-sectional study of 52 adult patients with current or previous paracoccidioidomycosis in a reference hospital in Mato Grosso do Sul between December 2017 and July 2018. Demographic data, dental history, and self-perception of oral health were obtained from the National Oral Health Survey—SB Brazil 2010. The number of permanent decayed, missing, or filled teeth; presence and intensity of gingival bleeding; dental calculus; periodontal pockets; and periodontal attachment loss were recorded. Most patients had chronic paracoccidioidomycosis (n = 50; 96.2%), with involvement of the mouth in the active phase of the disease (n = 38; 73.1%). Participants had a high number of decayed, missing, or filled teeth (median: 30 teeth). The most compromised component was “missing” teeth (median of 21 teeth), and total edentulism was observed in 17 patients (32.7%). Periodontal disease was seen in 15 of 35 patients (43.3%) who had at least one tooth. Regarding satisfaction with their oral health, 27 patients (51.9%) reported being satisfied or very satisfied. There was no association between the degree of satisfaction with the other data. Tooth loss is the major dental problem in patients with paracoccidioidomycosis, and in patients with teeth, periodontal disease was highly prevalent. A general positive self-perception of oral health observed in these patients may reduce their willingness to seek dental treatment.

Recent years have witnessed an impressive increase in research on enamel hypoplasias in archaeological populations. By reviewing a series of studies of enamel hypoplasias at Dickson Mounds, Illinois, North America (950-1300 A.D.), a prehistoric site involved in the transition from gathering-hunting to agriculture, this paper provides an illustration of this type of research. The location of linear hypoplasias on labial tooth surfaces of 111 adults was studied with a thin-tipped caliper, and this location was converted to an age at development. Most defects developed between two and four years of developmental age. Hypoplasias increased in prevalence from 45% in the pre-agriculture group to 80% in the agricultural group (p < 0.01). The transition to agriculture occurred at a cost to infant and childhood health. Defects are associated with decreased longevity. Individuals with defects have a life expectancy of nearly ten years fewer than those without defects, suggesting that the development of a defect marks a significant and lasting health event. Enamel hypoplasias occur most frequently on anterior teeth, polar teeth in developmental fields, and the middle developmental thirds of teeth. Analysis of these data suggests that enamel may be differentially susceptible to growth disruption and that susceptibility varies both within and among teeth. The study of enamel defects at Dickson provides insights into the health and nutritional consequences of the economic change from hunting and gathering to agriculture. More generally, with the availability of teeth from genetically homogeneous populations, studies of enamel hypoplasias in prehistory should provide a useful complement to research on this condition in contemporary peoples.

Introduction. Improvement of the quality of dental care is necessary for efficient prevention of oral diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze: the efficiency of the recommended work quality parameters in the Dental Health Care Service of the Health Center Zemun in 2014 and 2015; compare 7- and 12-year-olds in terms of having all healthy teeth and topical application of fluoride; presence of orthodontic anomalies in 12- and 14-year-olds, and assess the caries index (decayed-missing-filled teeth) in 12-year-old children. Material and Methods. The retrospective study included 7-, 12-, 14-, and 18-year-olds and assessed their oral health in 2014 (n = 4.317) and 2015 (n = 6.575). Results. A higher percentage of examinees kept their dental appointments in 2015 than in 2014 (82% and 60%, respectively). Out of 3.723 seven-year-olds, 36.6% had all healthy teeth, as well as 43.69% out of 3.170 of 12-year-olds. Out of 3.723 seven-year-olds, 65.26% had topical application of fluoride, as well as 78.73% out of 3.170 of twelve-year-olds. High percentages of orthodontic anomalies were found in both fourteen and eighteen-year-olds in 2015 (p<0.05). The average decayed-missing-filled teeth index in twelve-year-olds was 1.30 in 2014 and 1.68 in 2015. Conclusion. A higher percentage of all healthy teeth, and of topical application of fluoride in twelve-year-olds compared to the seven-year-olds, indicates that seven-year-olds keep their dental appointments more regularly, and consequently the prevention of oral diseases is more successful. Since the presence of orthodontic anomalies is high in both fourteen and eighteen-year-olds, and fewer children of both age groups respond to regular dental checkups, an intensified prevention of oral diseases is necessary in children.

Caries is today regardless of the knowledge of causes, and opportunities for prevention is still the most widespread disease of our civilization, a global problem. Treatment of caries and other oral diseases, due to the high price of dental services, is not only health but also social and economic problem. Caries prevention should begin in early childhood age, the promotion of all forms of promoting oral health. In order to take appropriate measures, it is necessary to investigate the state of oral health. In our study, we examined the condition of teeth in preschool children with milk teeth age 3 or 4 years and children with permanent teeth, age 6 years. With that examined the condition of teeth in pregnant women and conducted surveys on knowledge of prevention of oral health.The systematic examination included 654 child ages 3 and 4 years and found that 250 of them (38%) have carious milk teeth. In the group of 105-year-olds it was noted that 32 of them (30.47%) have healthy teeth (milk and permanent). Carious permanent teeth was 7 (2.18%) of the total erupted 321, while carious milk was in 77 children (73.3%).The analysis of systematic reviews 52 pregnant women, it was noted that 50% of respondents, has no awareness of oral health during pregnancy. Total decayed in all the examined 187 has extracted 118, rehabilitated 348thThe results of our research indicate a high prevalence of diseases of the teeth. Prevention programs and comprehensive health education, through a long period of time can bring adequate improvement of oral health. In these programs, it is necessary to actively participate on the entire population with the support of the wider community.

Background/Aim. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is an increasing prevalence of mental disorders among children and adolescents worldwide. Previous studies have shown that people with mental disorders, regardless age, have an increased prevalence of dental caries due to several reasons. The aim of this study was to determine prevalence of dental caries in adolescents with mental disorders and to consider possible risk factors that might contribute to their current dental health status. Methods. The study was conducted as an observational cross-sectional study. The study group comprised 70 randomly selected hospitalized adolescents with mental disorders. The control group comprised 70 randomly chosen mentally healthy adolescents. They were matched to the study group by gender and age. All the participants were subjected to targeted dental examination according to criteria recommended by the WHO. Collection of data related to mental disorders of the study group was obtained from the patient?s medical records. All collected data were organized and analyzed by descriptive statistical parameters and regression models. Results. Majority of the study group patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders (F20-F29), as well as behavioral and emotional disorders usually occurring in childhood and adolescence (F90-F98). Almost 90% of them were treated with antipsychotics of the second generation, as monotherapy or in combination with first-generation antipsychotics. Adolescents with mental disorders had significantly more carious and extracted teeth and three times less filled teeth than mentally healthy adolescents in the control group. The mean value of the decay-missing-filled teeth (DMF) index in the study group patients was also significantly higher than the mean value of DMF index in the control group subjects. Conclusion. It seems that mental disorder among adolescents mainly affects oral health indirectly, decreasing motivation of patients in maintaining oral hygiene.

In the last decade the effect of oral health on the general health and mortality of elderly people has attracted attention. We explored the association of dental health behaviors and dentition on all-cause mortality in 5611 older adults followed from 1992 to 2009 (median=9years) and calculated risk estimates using Cox regression analysis in men and women separately. Toothbrushing at night before bed, using dental floss everyday, and visiting the dentist were significant risk factors for longevity. Never brushing at night increased risk 20–35% compared with brushing everyday. Never flossing increased risk 30% compared with flossing everyday. Not seeing a dentist within the last 12 months increased risk 30–50% compared with seeing a dentist two or more times. Mortality also increased with increasing number of missing teeth. Edentulous individuals (even with dentures) had a 30% higher risk of death compared with those with 20+ teeth. Oral health behaviors help maintain natural, healthy and functional teeth but also appear to promote survival in older adults.

ABSTRACTObjectives: To evaluate self-reported oral health attitudes and behavior among a group of dental students in Bangalore, India and to compare the oral health attitudes of students of different years of dental school. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire based on a modified version of the Hiroshima University Dental Behavior Inventory (HU-DBI) was administered to 250 dental students. Results: Significant differences (P<.05) were observed among students of different years in the degree of worrying about the color of the teeth, not having been to the dentist before and brushing each tooth carefully. Strongly significant differences (P<.001) were observed among students of different years in brushing the teeth twice daily, being satisfied with the appearance of the teeth, cleaning the teeth well without toothpaste, visiting dentist only when having a toothache, taking too much time to brush their teeth, worrying about having bad breath and using mouth rinse on a regular basis. Conclusions: Among dental students, the overall knowledge of oral health was good, even though there were deficits in knowledge in a few areas. The oral health attitudes and behavior of dental students improved with increasing levels of education. (Eur J Dent 2011;5:163-167)

Introduction. Dental caries and periodontal disease are the most frequent oral diseases and therefore determine oral health condition. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the preventive programme for improving oral health in primary school children from first to fourth grade in Banjaluka. Material and methods.. Triennial study started in 2005 and included 911 second grade and 1491 fourth grade pupils in primary schools in Banjaluka. The study was completed in 2008. In the school year of 2007/08, 885 fourth grade pupils (examined in 2005. as second grade pupils) who were comprised by prevention program were reexamined. Dental check-ups were conducted by dentists on daylight using dental mirror and dental probe. Caries prevalence was analyzed using the DMFT index while oral hygiene was assessed using oral hygiene index (OHI). Results. The structure of DMFT among the second grade pupils (in the school year 2005/06) showed that the dominant component of DMFT was for healthy teeth (81%), followed by decayed (14%) and filled teeth (5%). The average value of OHI was 1.47 for this group of pupils. The structure of DMFT in the fourth grade pupils (in the year 2005/06) showed that the dominant component of DMFT was also for healthy teeth (75%). The next were decayed (18%) and filled teeth (7%). The average value of OHI was 1.60. Data analyses in the school year 2007/08 from the fourth grade pupils (who were second grade pupils during the school year 2005/06) and were comprised by preventive programme, showed that DMFT had the dominant component of healthy teeth (81%) followed by 10% of decayed teeth and 8% of filled teeth. Extracted teeth were only 1%. OHI was 0.95. Conclusion. The preventive programme applied in primary schools in Banjaluka since 2005. decreased the number of oral diseases and improved oral hygiene among the children who participated in this program.

Die Ernährung während der Zeit der Zahnentwicklung hat keinen klinisch relevanten Einfluss auf die Kariesanfälligkeit der menschlichen Zähne nach deren Durchbruch. Karies, Erosion und Demastikation sind keine systemisch-bedingten Ernährungskrankheiten, sondern Folgen von lokalen chemischen und mechanischen Nahrungsmitteleinwirkungen auf Zahnoberflächen. Karies ist die Folge chronischer unterminierender Demineralisation der Zähne durch organische Säuren, welche in den bakteriellen Zahnbelägen durch Vergärung von Zucker entstehen. Erosion ist die Folge chronischer oberflächlicher Verluste der Zahnhartsubstanz durch Säuren aus Nahrungsmitteln oder aus dem Magen. Demastikation bezeichnet den mechanischen Abtrag von Zahnsubstanz durch das Kauen. Die physikalisch-chemischen Vorgänge bei der Demineralisation und Remineralisation von Zahnhartsubstanz werden anhand von Schemata erklärt. Initiale kariöse Läsionen ohne Einbruch der Schmelzoberfläche können bei guter Mundhygiene unter Anwendung von Fluorid bei wenig kariogener Diät wieder remineralisiert (geheilt) werden. Einmal eingebrochene Läsionen müssen mit zahnärztlichen Werkstoffen repariert werden, da eine Remineralisation dann nicht mehr möglich ist.

AbstractDental indicators of health and subsistence for Postclassic Maya from the island site of Wild Cane Cay, off the coast of southern Belize, are examined. A total of 213 teeth were recovered from 26 individuals in Fighting Conch Mound. This survey documents dental wear, calculus, alveolar resorption, caries, and alveolar abscesses. This study excludes deciduous teeth. The total sample examined in this study contains 188 teeth from 19 adults. In general, the dental sample indicates a healthier diet than what the inland contemporaries of the Fighting Conch Mound individuals were consuming, as shown by lower rates of several pathologies. The dental data support the interpretation that the healthy diet of the Wild Cane Cay Maya was a function of their island setting in the Caribbean. Plant and animal remains generally corroborate the dental findings.

We also recorded the demographic data, duration of snoring complaints, educational status and income levels for our patient cohort; finally, we calculated the decayed, missing and filled teeth index.Results:Forty-one patients presented with primary snoring (control group) and 250 patients (study group) presented with mild, moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome. We found no correlation between obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome severity and the decayed, missing and filled teeth index (p = 0.057). We also found no correlation between the apnoea–hypopnoea and decayed, missing and filled teeth indexes. Age and the duration of snoring complaints were positively correlated with the decayed, missing and filled teeth index while educational status and income levels were negatively correlated (p < 0.001).Conclusion:Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome does not negatively affect oral and dental health.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dental health status of nursery age children and parents. The use of dental services was assessed. Subjects and Methods: The study was performed in nursery schools located in Poznan, Western Poland. Clinical examination was carried out in 157 children (48.41% males and 51.59% females), aged 10–42 months. Dental health status (the number of teeth with caries, fillings and extracted) of their parents was determined on the basis of data obtained from a questionnaire. The questions also concerned information on child’s and parents’ dental check-ups and opinion on their predisposition to dental caries. Results: Clinical examination revealed that 21.05% of boys and 18.51% of girls had dental caries. Most mothers had from 1 to 5 either carious and/or filled teeth (47.13%) or extracted teeth due to carious process (61.15%); the fathers’ values were similar at 46.50 and 66.24%, respectively. More mothers (84.71%) than fathers (72.62%) had regular dental check-ups (p = 0.02). The analysis of mother-father-child triads showed that when both parents visited the dentist regularly, more children were free of caries (56.68%) in comparison to those with the disease (13.38%; p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study showed that the dental health status, as well as oral care of nursery school children and their parents, is unsatisfactory. Therefore, there is a need to introduce an intensive dental educational program focusing on dental prophylaxis for nursery age children and their parents or caregivers.

Introduction: Despite the great improvements in the oral health status of the population across the world, oral diseases remains a major public health issue connected with a lost of numerous school days for childrenand absenteeism from work in adults. This effect is particularly evident in low and middle income countries as Bosnia and Herzegovina. This retrospective study presents the effi ciency of dental health carein Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina measured by number of visits and performed dental treatments during the time period of six years, from 2005-2011.Methods: Data were collected by evaluation of the results obtained by forms which are mandatory to be completed by dentists.Results: The number of graduated dentists from 2007 to 2011 decreased from 108 in 2007 to 68 in 2011. In the same time, number of dentists employed in public sector slightly increased from 529 in 2005 to587 in 2011. Number of extracted permanent teeth decreased from the 412 extracted permanent teeth per dentist in 2005 to 364 in 2011. Small number of fi lled primary teeth comparing to large number ofextracted primary teeth showed negligence in their treatment.Conclusion: Having in mind that improving oral health in developing countries is a very challenging objective we can conclude that dental health care system in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina need to bereform in order to improve oral health in general, particularly in children population.

Dental medicine represents a very important part of our life. As our appearance or looks is a major concern for us, a beautiful smile can improve our life. Moreover, our teeth health reflects on our overall health. This paper presents a method for highlighting the differences between a natural tooth and a prosthetic one. In order to determine the stress distribution in teeth during the use of prosthetics pivots, several virtual geometric models of the teeth were created (canine, first premolar, first molar and second molar), both in their natural form and when using pivots. The results obtained from these analyses were compared in order to reveal the behavior of a prosthetic tooth during normal life loads. Such results of real life behavior can be used by dental medics in order to predict the life span of restored teeth.

Background: Poor oral hygiene is associated with metabolic syndrome, systemic diseases, mortality and many chronic diseases. Misperception means a wrong or incorrect understanding or interpretation. Few studies have examined the subjective perception and objective condition of oral health among community adults in rural areas. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, community-based study. Participants were recruited via convenience samples from December 2015 to July 2016. One thousand six (1006) community residents participated in the project, of which 973 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The average age was 42.8 (SD = 12.3) years, range 20–64, selected from a collaboration local hospital. Results: Most of the participants reported brushing their teeth every day, however, 72% reported seldom brushing their teeth after meals, 54% seldom used dental floss, 64% seldom received dental scaling, 29.5% had experienced a toothache within 6 months, and 30.5% demonstrated significant tooth loss. However, most of them perceived their oral health as good. Misperception of oral health was common, 21.5% among whose number of remaining teeth <25 under-assess their actual oral health. The more number of remaining teeth (p < 0.001) and regular dental check-up (p < 0.01) were positively associated with feeling good about their oral health. After adjusting for potential confounders, clinically significant findings indicated that number of remaining teeth (OR = 3.03, p < 0.001), age (OR = 0.99, p < 0.001), regular dental check-ups/scaling (OR = 1.85, p < 0.001), education (OR = 1.45, p < 0.05), and water consumption (OR = 1.38, p < 0.05) were independently associated with good perceived oral health. Conclusions: The findings showed that subjective self-perception of oral health was not matched with their objective oral condition. Excluding the unmodifiable factors, the clinical implications indicated that oral health promotion programs, particularly for adopting regular dental check-up, healthy diet and oral hygiene habits are urgent in rural areas.

Objective: To examine child and parent reports about the child’s oral health and assess the associations of these reports with clinical assessments of oral health status by dental examiners. Methods: Surveys with 139 items for children and 133 items for parents were administered by Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview Software. In addition, the Children’s Oral Health Status Index (COHSI) was computed from a dental examination. Results: A total of 334 families with children ages 8 to 17 y participated at 12 dental practices in Los Angeles County. Ordinary least squares regression models were estimated separately for child and parent surveys to identify items uniquely associated with the COHSI. Ten of 139 items the children reported regarding their oral health were associated with the COHSI. The strongest associations were found for child’s age, aesthetic factors (straight teeth and pleased with teeth), and cognitive factors related to perception of dental appearance (pleased/happy with the look of the child’s mouth, teeth, and jaws). Nine of 133 parent items about the child’s oral health were associated with the COHSI in the parent model, notably being a single parent, parent’s gender, parent born in the United States, pleased or happy with the look of their child’s teeth, and accessing the Internet. Conclusion: These child and parent survey items have potential to be used to assess oral health status for groups of children in programs and practices in lieu of dental screenings. Knowledge Translation Statement: The paper’s results inform the development of a toolkit that can be used by schools, public health agencies, and dental programs to identify children with low oral health status based on parents’ and children’s responses to survey items across demographic, physical, mental, and social domains. These survey items can be used to inform parents of the desirability of proactively addressing inadequacies in their child’s oral health status, enabling them to more rationally address dental needs.

Health is the most important thing in people life, physically and mentally. Besides body�s health in general teeth and mouth health also must get special attention, because teeth and mouth health affects body�s health. Dental caries is a pathological process that occurs because of the interaction of factors inside and outside factors such as behavioral factors, knowledge and attitudes toward maintenance of teeth and mouth. The research aimed to understand the relationship between knowledge and attitude of grade V students of 131 elementary school Palembang toward the teeth caries. The method used in this research is analitical method by using cross sectional design, taking samples technique by using total population way and the samples are 167 student of grade V. From The result of this study it was know that, 33.5% of children who have a low knowledge, 43.1% of children have negative attitudes and 59.3% of children experienced dental caries. From Chi square test results showed no relationship between knowledge of children with dental caries with p value of 0.036; there is a correlation between the attitudes of children with dental ceries with p value, 0.000. In order to decrease the number of teeth caries among students, it is hoped that school make a school teeth health unit (UKGS) and some mediators and teachers need to make a teeth health socialization so that the students can get more knowledge about teeth and mout health. Key word: Knowledge, Attitude, and Teeth Caries

Full textAbstract:
Diseases of teeth and oral cavity have a high prevalence in pediatric population. In adolescents of 15-17 years, the incidence of caries in permanent teeth is higher than in children of 0-14 years. Epidemiological studies of dental health of children in various regions of the Russian Federation in 2010-2015 years showed no tendency to decrease the level of diseases of mouth and teeth. Prevalence and intensity of diseases remains at a high level. More than 80% of the surveyed children are in need of complex dental treatment. The current situation of pathology of teeth and mouth in children is due to several reasons such as low level of hygiene education, environmental degradation, poor nutrition, presence of chronic diseases, among older children, the presence of harmful habits, health-care organizations lack of effective preventive work. In turn, untreated inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and teeth, being the source of the infection, may lead to somatic pathology of different organs and systems. The existing organization of children dental care is focused more on treatment than on prevention of diseases of teeth and oral cavity. As a rule, parents bring children to dental clinic for treatment of already developed disease. Referrals to the dentist for preventive measures are rare. In this regard, it is necessary to develop new organizational forms of dental care, from the point of view of the preventive orientation, close to children's educational organization.

Cerebral palsy is one of the commonest children's physical handicaps with frequency of 1.5-3/1000. Beside many other disturbances, these children may have serious disorders caused by dental diseases. Concerning this fact, the objective of our study was to examine children with cerebral palsy in our country and determine condition of dental health and suggest adequate protective measures. A total of 116 children, 3-18 years old, with cerebral palsy were examined and the results were compared to the control group of healthy children of the same age. Among healthy children, 7-10 years old, 66.3% had healthy parodontium, while none of children with cerebral palsy had healthy parodontium. Children, 11-14 years old with cerebral palsy had higher percentage of untreated caries, but lower percentage of filled teeth (18.7%) compared to healthy children (55.0%). Children, 15-18 years old with cerebral palsy had significantly higher percentage of extracted teeth (10.6%) than healthy children (4.1%) and more often orthodontic anomalies (70.6%), compared to healthy children (46.9%). Results of these study indicate that children with cerebral palsy need special and planned dental care.
