Dental caries and gingivitis are often found in Indonesia primary school students. The data from Puskesmas MuaraFajar noted, only 14.06% of Elementary Students who received dental care and 52% of them required treatment. TheObjective of study was to assess the students’ dental health knowledge and behavior level of SDN 174 Pekanbaruand to associate with dental health status, including dental caries, DMF-T OHI-S, Debris Index (DI-S) and CalculusIndex (CI-S). The methodology used a cross-sectional survey research design. The sample were 61 students whotaken by all students in grade 6 of SDN 174 Muara Fajar Pekanbaru. Examination of student’s dental health statuslike dental caries, DMF-T OHI-S, Debris Index (DI-S) and Calculus Index (CI-S) was made, and followed by askingthe knowledge and behavior questionnaire about dental health. Processed data with the statistical program SPSSversion 17. the data presented in the narrative, univariate analysis to look at the frequency distribution of the data,and bivariate analysis to find an association between the knowledge and behavior to the dental health status. Theresults showed that most characteristics respondents were female (50.8%), aged 12 years (41%) and have enoughnutrition (68.9%). Then there were 25 students (41%) having less knowledge about dental health and as many as 25students (41%) have the less behavior about dental health. While the results of the examination of the dental healthstatus showed as many as 24 students (39%) had problems in the DI-S, 12 students (20%) had problems in the CI-S,and as many as 26 students (43%) had problems in dental health (OHI -S). There was no relationship betweenknowledge of dental health to dental health status, but there is a relationship regarding student behavior of dentalhealth to dental health status(p = 0.02, OR = 3.4).

ABSTRACT Objectives Evaluating oral and dental health status in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy (CP) in relation to gross motor skills and types of CP. Materials and methods Cross-sectional study was conducted at el-Shatby Hospital for Children, Alexandria, Egypt. Oral examination for 62 children with CP between the age range 3 and 12 years was performed, and decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT)/decayed and filled primary teeth (dft), simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), and modified gingival index (MGI) were charted. Maxillofacial defects, dental problems, and drooling of saliva were assessed. Children's CP type, motor milestone, and gross motor skills were determined. All statistical analyses were carried out at p<0.05 and 0.01. Results About 84.0% of children had spastic quadriplegia, 41.9% were sit-supported, 32.3% had level IV Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), 29.0% had level V no maxillofacial defects, 14.5% had dentin exposure greater than one-third of the surface, and 22.6% had frequent/severe drooling saliva. Caries prevalence comprised 54.8%, 53.2% had poor oral hygiene (OHI-S), and 43.6% had severe gingival inflammation (MGI). The first best predictor variable for dft was “motor milestone” The GMFCS (levels IV and V) was the first best predictor variable for DMFT, OHI-S, and MGI. Conclusion The majority of children had dental caries, poor oral hygiene, and severe gingival inflammation. Children who were sit-supported, had no neck support, and stand-supported were suffering from dental caries (dft) more than children who were sitting and walking alone. Children with levels IV/V GMFCS were prone to have dental caries (DMFT), susceptible to suffer from bad oral hygiene, and older children experiencing severe gingivitis more than younger ones.

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.

Background: Due to little information on Iranian families, this study was conducted to investigate the correlation between the oral-dental health status of primary school children and their Family’s Quality of Life (QoL). Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the oral-dental health status of 251 primary school children in Torbat Heydariyeh county, Iran, was examined according to decayed, missing, and filled teeth index for primary (dmft) and permanent (DMFT) teeth by a checklist. Their mothers (n=251) responded to the Family Impact Scale (FIS) for the assessment of family’s QoL. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 by Poisson and Multiple Linear Regression analyses. Results: Primary dental caries of children at an intermediate level (dmft = 3.4 ± 3.1) and their permanent dental caries at a low level (DMFT = 2.6 ± 2.9) were evaluated. The mean score of families’ QoL was estimated 13±7.5 out of a maximum of 56. Pearson correlation test showed that there was no significant correlation between the FIS and dmft/DMFT index (P > 0.05). Regression models revealed that there was a correlation between mothers' dental visits over the past 8 months with the dmft (p=0.006), the DMFT index (p=0.016) and families’ QoL (p=0.045). Conclusion: Although our study didn't show a correlation between the dental health status of children and family’s QoL, the findings showed that there is still a gap between the goals of the WHO and the dental health status of children in Torbat Heydariyeh county.

Stunting is one of the most common malnutrition conditions. Stunting conditions can cause impaired child development including developmental disorders in the oral cavity. Stunting children are more susceptible to dental caries due to changes in saliva characteristics. This study aims to analyze the relationship between stunting and the severity of dental caries in elementary school-aged children in Tuah Negeri District, Musi Rawas Regency. Methods: This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 70 people was taken randomly from elementary school students in Tuah Negeri District, Musi Rawas Regency. Determination of nutritional status based on anthropometric measurements (TB/U). DMFT examination was carried out by looking at decaying, filling, and missing teeth, then the severity of dental caries was categorized into low (DMFT 0 - 2.6), moderate (DMFT 2.7 - 4.4), high (DMFT > 4.5). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 with Chi-Square Test analysis. Result: The results of the measurement of nutritional status showed that 34 children (48.6%) were stunted. In stunting children, there are 15 children (44.12%) in the low category, 16 children (47.06%)  in the medium category, 3 children (8.82%) in the high category. The results of the bivariate analysis obtained p = 0.000. Conclussion: There is a significant relationship between stunting and the severity of dental caries in children aged 10-12 years in Tuah Negeri District, Musi Rawas Regency. It is necessary to increase efforts to promote health related to stunting and dental health through health education activities by involving the role of parents in choosing food intake and in maintaining children's dental and oral hygiene

Abstract Present study was conducted to assess dental health status of the mid-19th century skeletal remains excavated from an abandoned ancient well and to scrutinize the demographic affiliations of the remains. Thousands of bones, teeth and contextual items were excavated non-scientifically from an abandoned well situated underneath a religious structure at Ajnala (Amritsar, India). Four thousands four hundred and seventy five teeth of each type were examined for presence of dental pathologies of caries, wear and linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH). The frequency distribution of each pathological state was calculated for each tooth type using international dental standards available in the literature. The overall dental status was characteristic of young individuals having low prevalence of dental caries and enamel hypoplasiac lesions. Very few teeth had seriously exposed dentine and pulp cavity; indicating consumption of some cariogenic food items. The maxillary and posterior teeth were more affected with dental caries than the mandibular and anterior teeth. LEH defects were found more commonly distributed in the lower canines (44.9%) and upper incisors (34.8%) than their corresponding counterparts and statistically significant differences were noticed in LEH prevalence between anterior and, posterior dentition. The overall percentage of LEH has been found as 15.8%; with 15.4% maxillary and 16.2% mandibular teeth being affected with LEH. The paleodontogical examinations, contextual items and the preliminary molecular findings supported the written versions that victims of Ajnala skeletal remains had sound dental health status and probably belonged to adult males who were killed in 1857 as per written versions.

This study assessed self-reported oral health status, knowledge, and behaviours of people living with diabetes along with barriers and facilitators in accessing dental care. A cross sectional survey of 260 patients from four public diabetes clinics in Sydney, Australia was undertaken using a 35-item questionnaire. Data were analysed using SPSS software with descriptive and logistic regression analyses. More than half (53.1%) of respondents reported having dental problems which negatively impacted their related quality of life. Less than half (45%) had adequate oral health knowledge. Only 10.8% reported receiving any oral health information in diabetes care settings, which had higher odds of demonstrating adequate oral health knowledge (AOR, 2.60; 95% CI, 1.06–6.34). Similarly, 62.7% reported seeing a dentist in the last 12 months. Having private health insurance (AOR, 3.70; 95% CI, 1.85–7.40) had higher odds of seeing a dentist in the past 12 months. Dental costs were a major contributor to avoiding or delaying dental visit. Patients living with diabetes have unmet oral health needs particularly around the awareness of its importance and access to affordable dental services. Diabetes care providers can play a crucial role in this area by promoting oral health to their patients.
