Introduction: DMF-T index is an important indicator to assess oral health status of the population. DMF-T index is a number that indicates the average total number of permanent teeth affected by caries, missing or should be extraction because of caries, or have been restorated on each tooth and not each surface. DMF-T index being a reference of the Performed Treatment Index (PTI) which is the sum percentage of restored teeth or without caries in the population. The purpose of this study is to determine DMF-T index and performed treatment index of the patient in Dental Conservation Installation.Methods: This research used the descriptive with survey techniques. Sampling was conducted with a total sampling. The DMF-T index and PTI of Patients in Dental Conservative Installation on July – September 2011. The data obtained through clinical examination of 561 respondents. Results: The DMF-T index patients in Dental Conservative Installation is 5.824 while the PTI is 1.51%. Conclusion: DMF-T index of patients in Dental Conservative Installation period July - September 2011 in the high category and PTI Patients In Dental Conservative Installation Oral and Dental Hospital Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran period July - September 2011 in the low category.

Eating Patterns

IntroductionNutrition is critical to the oral health of the individual. From gestation through to end of life, nutrition influences the integrity and function of the dentition and supporting oral structures and has a direct effect on health in general. According to the World Health Organization, diet has an important role in the prevention of oral diseases such as dental caries, dental erosion, defects in oral development, diseases of the oral mucosa, and periodontal disease.MethodsA study was conducted to assess the oral health status and food consumption patterns of students attending the Rotary School and College at Mirpur-14, Dhaka on November 2018. Consent was provided by the school headmaster and guardians. A purposive sample of seventy students was taken. A semi-structured questionnaire and checklist was developed in the English and Bengali languages. Data were presented in simple frequency tables.ResultsAmong the respondents the following eating habits were reported: (i)Thirty-one percent drank milk and twenty-eight percent consumed chocolate four to six times per week;(ii)Forty-three percent consumed fast food least seven times per week; and(iii)Forty-two percent ate vegetables and thirty-four percent ate fruits one to three times per week.In terms of oral hygiene practices, sixty-one percent of respondents used toothpaste and thirty-nine percent used tooth powder. Seventy-eight percent of respondents brushed their teeth once a day and twenty-four percent brushed twice daily. The mean number of decayed, missing (due to caries), and filled permanent teeth was 1.47.ConclusionsThe relationship between oral health, dietary practices, nutritional status, and general health is complex, with many interrelated factors. To help children develop healthy eating patterns from an early age, it is important that the food and eating patterns to which they are exposed, both inside and outside the home, promote positive attitudes to good nutrition.

Objective: to assess the dental health and oral hygiene status of subjects with cleft lip and/or palate. Methods: dental and gingival examinations were carried out in 105 children with cleft, using standard dental indices dmft and DMFT. Plaque and gingival indices were scored using the indices of Loe and Silness. Results: the prevalence of dental caries was significantly higher in children with cleft (71.34%) than children without cleft in both deciduous and permanent teeth. The dmft and DMFT indices ware highest in children with CLP (4.21±3.68; 3.55±3.24). Similary, plaque accumulation and gingivitis were significant higher in CL, CLP patients (3.29±1.28; 3.23±1.54) compared with CP patients (2.38±1.74). Conclusion: Cleft patients had higher prevalence of caries and poorer oral hygiene than patients without cleft. The severity of cleft affected on the oral health status. These findings not only provide a baseline for oral health status but also emphasize the need for preventive measures. Key words: cleft lip, cleft palate, cleft lip and palate, dmft, DMFT, plaque and gingival index

Diabetes mellitus is the second most common non-communicable disease in India. There are various diseases of the oral cavity resulting as a complication of diabetes. This underlying systemic disease could affect the prognosis of any dental treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of various types of oral lesions associated with diabetes. A total of 343 diabetic patients visiting the dental hospital in Chennai over a period of one year (1 June 2019 to 1 June 2020) were selected for the study. Detailed case history and clinical examination were carried out under visible light. The study population was age 30 years and above. Data collected were analysed using SPSS software and the results were recorded.   The majority of the diabetic patients were males, aged 61-75 years. Dental caries was the most common oral disease, followed by pulpitis and periodontitis. The premalignant lesions like Oral Sub Mucous Fibrosis, Lichen Planus and Leukoplakia were also found. It was found that male diabetic patients are more prone to oral diseases compared to females. Hence, it is recommended that awareness on oral hygiene and periodic oral health examination will improve the oral health status of diabetic patients.

Abstract Objective The aim of this case-control study was to assess the smoker and non-smoker patients’ oral health status versus students. Methods: The study was based on a clinical examination of 210 young adults (118 women, 92 men) aged between 22-32 years. 105 of these were students in the 5th and 6th grade of the Faculty of Dentistry in Tîrgu Mureș and the control group was represented by patients. Patients and students were classified into three groups: non-smokers, occasional- and active smokers. The clinical examination evaluated the dental caries, fillings, extractions, crowns, root remnants and dental plaque. DMF-S index scores were calculated, and with its help the index of treatment need, dental care index and intensity of caries were determined. Results: The dental treatment need index, DMF-S index and intensity of caries showed increased values in patients. Root remnants (p <0.0001), decay (p = 0.0473) and dental plaque (p = 0.0363) were much higher in the group of active smoker students as in the non-smoker students. Among active smoker patients the incidence of dental calculus (p = 0.0005), of root remnants (p = 0.0022) and of fillings (p = 0.0441) showed a higher value than in the non-smokers. Conclusions: This study showed that compared with non-student patients, in dental students, a better oral hygiene was coupled with healthier teeth and periodontal. Poor oral hygiene together with smoking seems to worsen the oral health status.

Background: Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness characterized by negative symptoms (apathy, social withdrawal, lack of motivation) and cognitive deficits, while impairment in self-care, grooming, and oral health is also noted. This study aimed to evaluate oral health status and xerostomia among hospitalized patients in Razi Hospital in Tabriz, Iran during 2019. Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, a total of 80 people (equal genders) including 40 hospitalized patients with schizophrenia and 40 healthy matched controls were recruited conveniently from among non-psychiatric outpatient poly-clinic referrals. Oral health status was measured by decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) index and xerostomia index. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 25 by student's t-test, chi-square, Pearson, and Spearman correlation tests. P-values under 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: In both groups, 75% out of males were smokers. The mean DMFT in the cases was significantly greater than the controls (P=0.02). There was no difference between genders in both groups. The means of xerostomia indices were significantly higher in the case group. (t=3.47, P=0.001). Conclusion: Based on cognitive deficits and negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, oral hygiene is considerably lower than normal populations. This is a great hint for policy-makers, clinicians, healthcare professionals, and family members to emphasize on prevention of oral and dental lesions among afflicted patients.
