Dental caries/Tooth decay is progressive destruction of tooth structure, leading to tooth ache. Tooth ache is the most common type of orofacial pain and when severe it is considered a dental emergency. Pain killers will be the first option to get rid of pain but use of these pain killers have many adverse effects and also its over prescription leads to kidney disorders, liver disorders etc. and in Ayurveda for the management of pain in Krimidanta it is mentioned that, Krimighna (anti-microbial), Vatagna (which relieves Vata) and Ushnaveerya Dravyas (drugs with hot potency) are to be used which can relieve the toothache and discolouration. Hence here an attempt was made to find out an alternate medicine which is effective, has no contraindications and with no side effects. Here the patient was treated with Dantapichu (soaked cotton swab) with Katuparni Ksheera (milk of Argemone Mexicana Linn.) as a local application. After the treatment, a significant response in various symptoms such as tooth pain, tingling sensation and swelling was observed.

Introduction: Dental caries (tooth decay) is probably the most common chronic disease in the world. Greene Vardiman Black in the end of nineteenth century presented G. V. Black’s classification. The study is aimed to find out the prevalence of dental caries based on gender, age, Black’s classification and its distribution on different teeth. Methods: This research is a descriptive research, conducted by collecting the data from patients’ medical records from Bagian Gigi dan Mulut in RSHS, Bandung and then analyzed the collected data. Results: The result of this study shows that Class I caries is the most common type of carious lesion (37.1%) and the mandibular molars are the most common teeth affected by caries (32.4%). Female is  more prone to caries than males (60.5%)  and  the  early  adulthoods  have the highest  rate  of  caries  occurrence (46.1%). Conclusion: It can be concluded that Class I caries is the most common type of carious lesion based on G. V. Black’s classification. Besides that, female is found to be more prone to caries than male and the early adulthoods had the highest rate of caries occurrence.

Abstract: Dental caries is one of the infectious diseases that can damage the tooth structure resulted in tooth decay. Untreated dental caries will continue damaging the teeth and create infection around the surrounding structure. This infection destroys tissue around the teeth and can cause ulceration, abscess, and fistula. Moreover, it acts as focal infection to other organs. Children are vulnerable to dental caries. This study was aimed to determine the severity of untreated dental caries in SD GMIM 31 Manado based on PUFA index. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Population consisted of 90 students grade I to grade VI of SD GMIM 31 Manado. There were 80 samples obtained by using total sampling method. The results showed the average indexes of untreated dental caries which caused exposed pulp (P) was 1.5; caused ulceration (U) 0.2; no fistula (F); caused abscesses (A) 0.03, or almost nothing. The highest index was in the 11 years old group and females. The average PUFA index of untreated dental caries was 1.7. Keywords: severity of untreated dental caries, PUFA index. Abstrak: Penyakit karies gigi merupakan salah satu penyakit infeksi yang dapat merusak struktur gigi dan menyebabkan terjadinya lubang pada gigi.

Herbal tooth powders consisting of various ingredients that are available in the market in a wide range. Hence modern methods focusing on these aspects are useful for the standardization of herbs and their formulations. Consumers believed by using herbal-based toothpowders are safe, effective, and less toxic. This study is thus aimed to provide an alternative to the consumer and formulate herbal tooth powder using Clove, Neem Stem, Acacia Stem, Stevia Leaf, Mustard Oil, Salt, Ginger and Amla. The oral cavity infections are the most common types of infections. Dental caries is an infectious disease, causes damage and infection of enamel and dentine. If it is not treated, the infection continues and will lead to tooth loss. The mouth contains normal flora of opportunistic bacteria that are normally non-pathogenic. The imbalance of this situation causes infection and tooth decay. Streptococcus mutants are considered as the main species involved in the development of dental caries. S. mutants, acid-producing bacteria, causes fermentation of carbohydrates which results in tooth decay. Therefore, in the present work, the following aspects of Herbal tooth powders were planned for the formulation, standardization of herbal tooth powder, and anti-bacterial screening of the extracts of herbal tooth powder.

Aim. To investigate the effect of consumption of diets with different content of fat and sugar on the state of the periodontium of rats.Methods. The rats received a semi-synthetic fat-free diet (FFD), a fat diet (5 % sunflower oil), and a sucrose diet (50 % sucrose) for 30 days. Determined the degree of periodontal atrophy, tooth decay and in the gum homogenate - the activity of elastase, catalase, urease, lysozyme and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA).Results. Sugar diet increases the degree of periodontal atrophy and tooth decay, but decreases elastase activity in the gums and increases catalase activity.  Fat diet does not affect periodontal atrophy and tooth decay, but it reduces catalase activity.Conclusion. The increase in the intensity of caries and periodontal atrophy under the influence of a sucrose diet is probably due to the stimulation of the formation of lactic acid. Fat nutrition does not affect the intensity of dental caries and the degree of periodontal atrophy.

Aim. To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of hydroalcoholic extracts of pomegranate (Punica granatumL.) peel and juice, against the microorganisms considered the main etiologic agents of dental caries.Methods. The values of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined againstStreptococcus mutansClarke ATCC® 25175™ strain andRothia dentocariosaclinical isolate.Results. Peel extracts inhibit effectively the growth and survival ofS. mutansATCC 25175 strain andR. dentocariosaclinical isolate with MIC and MBC values of 10 μg/μl and 15 μg/μl, respectively. Furthermore, the pomegranate juice extract showed high inhibitory activity againstS. mutansATCC 25175 strain with a MIC value of 25 μg/μl and a MBC value of 40 μg/μl, whereas, againstR. dentocariosa, it has displayed a moderate inhibitory activity, with MIC and MBC values of 20 μg/μl and 140 μg/μl, respectively.Conclusions.In vitromicrobiological tests demonstrate that the hydroalcoholic extracts of pomegranate juice and peel are able to contrast the main cariogenic bacteria involved in tooth decay. Although being preliminary data, our results suggest that pomegranate polyphenolic compounds could represent a good adjuvant for the prevention and treatment of dental caries.

Alcohol And Drug Abuse

Alcohol and drug abuse are detrimental to general and oral health. Though we know the effects of these harmful habits on oral mucosa, their independent and combined effect on the dental caries experience is unknown and worthy of investigation. We compared 363 “alcohol only” abusers to 300 “alcohol and drug” abusers to test the hypothesis that various components of their dental caries experience are significantly different due to plausible sociobiological explanations. After controlling for the potential confounders, we observe that the “alcohol and drug” group had a 38% higher risk of having decayed teeth compared to the “alcohol only” group (). As expected, those who belonged to a higher social class (; 95%  –2.75) and drank wine (; 95%  –2.96) had a higher risk of having more filled teeth. We conclude that the risk of tooth decay among “alcohol only” abusers is significantly lower compared to “alcohol and drug” abusers.

Source Of Information

The DMF index provides one source of information on past and present dental caries experience; however, important limitations hinder its ability to characterize fully the impact of dental caries. The purpose of this paper is to describe a measure of selected restoration and tooth conditions that supplements information from the DMF index and to report on the application of this measure as part of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, Phase 1, conducted between 1988 and 1991. Data from this survey were used to estimate the prevalence and severity of selected disaggregated physical and biological oral conditions among dentate adults aged 18 to 74 years. Trained, standardized, and calibrated dentist examiners assessed 28 permanent teeth or tooth spaces for each of 6,767 subjects. Teeth or tooth spaces were classified based on criteria for: defective intracoronal restorations, crowns, or bridges; gross loss of tooth structure associated with a restoration; pulpal involvement; or retained roots. Approximately 40.5%, or 61.6 million, dentate adults had at least one tooth or tooth space that met the criteria. Among all persons, an average of 0.9 teeth or tooth spaces met the criteria for at least one category. Adults with at least one scored tooth or tooth space had an average of 2.2 such teeth or tooth spaces. Data from this assessment supplement information available from the DMF index to provide a broader profile of the impact of dental caries on permanent teeth of US adults.

The Relationship

Child's Dental and Oral Health in Indonesia is still very alarming so it needs serious attention from health workers. The main problem that occurs in the oral cavity is dental caries. PDGI (Indonesian Dentist Association) states that at least 89% of caries sufferers are children. Based on the results of the characteristics of the health survey, the prevalence of dental caries in 3-5 year olds is 81.7%. This study aims to determine the relationship between the characteristics and knowledge of mothers about dental hygiene procedures with the incidence of tooth holes in infants in Posyandu Jeruk, Pondok Labu Village, South Jakarta in 2018. This study was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. The research sample used total sampling totaling 47 mothers of children aged 4-5 years who came to the Posyandu Jeruk. Data collection through questionnaires and observation of tooth holes by officers. Data analysis was conducted in univariate, bivariate, and multivariate. The results of univariate analysis showed that the incidence of tooth decay was mostly in the high category (57.4%), mother age <32 years (66.6%), high maternal education (66.0%), and knowledge was mostly high (63.8 %). The results of the bivariate analysis, the variables that were significantly related to the incidence of tooth holes were education (p = 0.007 and OR = 9,692), and knowledge (p = 0.004 and OR = 11,250). Whereas the non-mean is age (p = 0.667). The results of multivariate analysis, the dominant variable associated with the incidence of tooth holes in infants is maternal knowledge (OR = 9,068).

Recent assessments show an increase in the incidence of tooth decay. In addition to prophylactic treatments using fluoride and diet focused on low sugar consumption, application of sealing materials to the teeth surfaces is the best protection against the appearance of dental caries on both temporary and permanent teeth.Tooth sealing applied using conventional method, plus the application of adhesive systems can lead to noticeable results over time.An increased thickness of the adhesive layer may lead to microinfiltration and implicitly to a failure of the dental caries protection therapy.Loading the dental adhesive with magnetic nanoparticles and applying it to the surface of the teeth with the help of a the magnetic field attempts to reduce and uniformize the thickness of the adhesive layer, which can lead to a reduced decrease in the occurrence of dental caries under the sealing materials for pit and fissures on the occlusal surfaces.
