In recent years, there has been noted a tendency to deterioration of dental health in children and teenagers. Therefore, it is important to study the dental status of children who attend different educational establishments to identify risk factors for dental diseases and develop means of their elimination. The survey of adolescents studying in various educational institutions (school, college, university) in Chernivtsi was conducted according to the generally accepted method. The study of the prevalence (%) and intensity of caries (CPV of teeth) was taking into account the degree of caries activity in each age period: compensated (1st), subcompensated (2nd), decompensated (3rd). A total of 107 schoolchildren, 317 college students, and 116 university students were surveyed. Adolescents are 15 to 18 years old. To conduct the study, the average rates of caries in each age group were calculated to determine the degree of caries activity in each age period, taking into account the area where adolescents live. The following indicators were obtained for the Chernivtsi region: – 15 years: compensated form – up to 4 caries-affected teeth, subcompensated – 5-7, decompensated – 8 or over; – 16 years: compensated – up to 5, subcompensated – 6-8, decompensated – 9 or over; – 17 years: compensated – up to 7, subcompensated – 8-10, decompensated – 11 or over; – 18 years: compensated – up to 8, subcompensated – 9-11, decompensated 12, or over. Our research showed that college students in all studied age periods (15, 16, 17, and 18 years) had worse results than teenagers in the comparison groups (schoolchildren of 15-16 years, university students of 17-18 years). About 62% of all examined teenagers had the first degree of caries activity, 19.5% had the 2nd, and 18.5% had the 3rd degree of caries. Teenagers enrolled in college were divided according to the degree of caries activity: in the 1st degree – 36.3%, 2nd – 32.2%, 3rd – 31.5%, at school: 1st degree – 100%, at university: 1st degree – 97.4%, 2nd – 2.6%. At the age of 18, the number of college students who have a decompensated degree of caries activity increases to 36.6% due to a decrease in the number in the group with a subcompensated degree. University students in 100% of cases had a compensated degree of caries activity. Caries intensity rates in each age group are lower in schoolchildren than in college students and are the lowest in university students. In teenagers with the first degree of caries activity, the highest rate of caries intensity was observed in college (15-18 year adolescents), and the lowest – at school (15-16 years). University students, despite being 17-18 years old, had lower rates than college teens. All students had the first degree of caries activity. When comparing the rate of caries intensity in the studied 15 year-olds with the compensated degree of caries activity, it was found that in schoolchildren it is 1.7 times lower than in college students, in 16 year-olds – 1.5 times. At the age of 17 and 18 – 1.7 times, compared to university students. Thus, our research showed that college students of all studied age groups had worse indices than teenagers in the comparison groups. They have a more severe course of caries. The results suggest that further studies into the causes of caries in college students need to be conducted.

Dental Health Status

The purpose of the present investigation was to study the utilization of dental services, the distribution of dental diseases and treatment needs in a Danish industrial population. The study covered the male population at a Danish shipyard, and a sample of 988 workers and clerical and managerial staff was drawn by stratified random sampling. 841 persons were interviewed regarding dental visits and attitudes towards dental health services and data on dental health and treatment needs were collected. 61% of the participants aged 15–64 years made regular dental visits at least once a year. The percentages of regular visitors varied according to age and occupation, from 68 to 82% among clerical staff to 34 to 51% among workers. The mean DMF-T increased from 16.6 in the age group 15–24 to 27.0 among the 55–64-year-olds. Untreated dental decay was predominant among workers and persons never seeing a dentist, whereas there were more filled teeth and fewer missing teeth among staff and regular visitors. The periodontal status was less satisfactory in the older age groups and among workers, and most denture wearers were found in the age group 35–64 and among workers. Concordant to the findings on dental health status, dental treatment needs due to caries and periodontal disease as well as prosthetic treatment needs varied according to age, occupation and dental visits. More radical treatment types were needed in the older age groups, among workers and non-regular visitors. The present study seems to indicate that dental diseases in the adult Danish population are not under control.

The City

Background. Analysis of publications on the descriptive epidemiology of dental caries of children in the city of Omsk and the region shows that preventive measures that were implemented by the Department of Pediatric Dentistry in the 1990s contributed to a significant decrease in the intensity of caries of permanent teeth of a key age group of children 12 years old. However, the achieved level is still 2-3 times higher than the best world achievements and is quite far from the WHO recommendations by 2020 (the CPU of the teeth of 12-year-old children should not be more than 1.5). Objectives ― to evaluate and compare the most significant indicators of dental health in children of school age with the help of European indicators. The dental status of 12-year-olds in Omsk in 2015 and 2018 was investigated using the EGOHID-2005 system. Methods. A dental examination of 200 schoolchildren aged 12 years old was conducted in several schools in Omsk using the EGOHID-2005 system. Results. A comparative description of the dental health of children with the help of European indicators is given. It allowed to establish that, against the background of the implementation of the Program for the Prevention of Major Dental Diseases among the children's population of the region, a decrease in the incidence of dental incidence in key age groups of 12-year-old children has been observed Omsk. Conclusions. The study proves once again that it is possible to solve the problem of high incidence of dental caries in children only with the priority development of the preventive focus of modern dental services in the regions.

Common Infections

Community-acquired pneumonia is one of the most common infections in children with an annual incidence of 34 to 40 cases per 1000 children in Europe and North America. Pneumonia is a common cause of death in children under five years of age worldwide. Thus, about 1,8 million children die from pneumonia annually. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, about 80,000 children every year suffer from community-acquired pneumonia in Ukraine. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of 100 case histories of children aged 3-9 years old with outpatient segmental/polisegmental pneumonia who were in inpatient treatment in the pulmonology department of regional hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. The representativeness of the comparison groups is represented by age and sex. Methods of examination: clinical-anamnestic, laboratory and instrumental (pulse oximetry, chest X-ray). Results: Most of the children (58%) were admitted to the hospital on the first day of the illness. In 33% of children, comorbidity was noted. All children had fever, an unproductive cough, while symptoms of intoxication (76 ± 4.27%) and dyspnea (52 ± 4.49%) were more pronounced in children 3-6 years old. In the general analysis of blood in children of the first age group, in most cases, leukocytosis was more than 12 G / L (56 ± 4.96%), neutrophilic shift of the leukocyte formula to the left of 88 ± 3.25% and elevated ESR (84 ± 3.66%). X-ray in children of the first age group was dominated by polysegmental pneumonia at 54 ± 4.44%, while in children of the second age group segmental pneumonia was more common (64 ± 4.66%). Half of the children of both age groups prescribed antibiotics of the first line - a group of penicillins and cephalosporins. When starting antibiotic therapy with penicillins, the symptoms of pneumonia decreased already in the 2nd day in 16% ± 3.67% in the group of children 3-6 years old and in 18% ± 3.84% of children 7-9 years. Conclusion. Pneumonia is one of the most common diseases in children, and one of those that can cause many complications and even death. Accordingly, the treatment of this disease should be maximally effective and short-lived. The best choice for treating pneumonia is a group of oral aminopenicillins, which were administered in the first days of the disease and showed significantly better results than patients treated with cephalosporins.

Luxation cases reportedly occur more frequently in men than in women, and the frequency decreases with increasing age. It is important to know the characteristics of luxation injuries to take preventive measures and early treatments. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate luxation trauma cases in the Turkish population in the West Mediterranean region between 1999 and 2017. Methods: An 18-year retrospective analysis of records of patients with luxation traumas was performed. Data regarding age groups, gender, trauma types, etiologic factors, trauma locations, number of affected teeth, trauma types with/without crown fracture, and time elapsed from trauma onset until clinic visit were determined. Acquired data were tabulated as numbers and percentages. Results: A total of 1597 teeth, from 885 patients, exposed to luxation trauma were included. The number of injured teeth per child was 1.8, and single tooth trauma was the most common type. The number of trauma patient was higher in the 0–5 age group, and the number of cases was higher in the primary teeth of the 0–3 age group and in the permanent teeth of the 8–12 age group. The maxillary central incisors were the most commonly affected teeth, and the most common cause was falls. The luxation types most frequently presenting with crown fracture were lateral luxation in the primary teeth (60%) and subluxation in the permanent teeth (33.9%). The proportion of patients with avulsion was the lowest among those visiting the clinic within 2 days of trauma. Conclusion: This study revealed that almost half of the trauma patients have a history of luxation trauma. Educational programs for the community regarding causes and prevention of luxation traumas should be continued.

Purpose:  to evaluate the chronological and dental age of children in Lviv and the Lviv region aged 10-13 years with the help of the modified formula Cameriere.  Methods. Оrthopantomograms  46 children (26 boys and 20 girls) aged 10-13 years from Lviv and Lviv region have been used for this study. A questionnaire was developed for the submission of individual patient data and a standardized format for making their indicators derived from orthopantomograms (OPG). The examination of the area of the lower seven teeth on the left was done using the Cameriere method and the age of the child was evaluated, which was further compared with the chronological age.  Results.The obtained results of the study showed a high accuracy and reliability of the estimation of dental age in children up to 10-13 years with the help of the Cameriere formula modified by us. The research is based on the detection of physiological changes (the rate of formation of the roots) in the permanent teeth of children using the X-ray method.  Evaluating the results obtained by two methods, among girls and boys of the selected age group, a statistically significant strong correlation between the chronological age and the age calculated by the Cameriere method was revealed. Cameriere research has been carried out in many countries around the world and, in particular, in European countries, by implementing the general formula. Children in the period of occlusive bite remain the most critical in terms of age and, therefore, the determination of the correct time for dental interventions. In this age group, the development of permanent teeth passes through different stages and depends on many factors of the environment, genetic, geographical and food factors. The process of teething also affects many local factors, such as space and space for a permanent tooth in the dental artery and the loss of temporary precursors. Even with a large number of factors affecting the eruption and formation of permanent teeth in children, this method showed high accuracy and independence. In order to assess the Cameriere method among the children under study and its further practical application, a comparison was made between the age obtained using this methodology and the chronological age of the children under study in different age groups, both among boys and girls. Analyzing the obtained data, it was found that the mean of chronological age among the studied boys aged 10-11 (n = 14) was 11.02 ± 0.59 years, and the Cameriere method was 10.63 ± 1.03 years.  Student's assessment did not reveal a significant difference between the data (p = 0.22) for the age group of 10-11 years.  Further analysis among the studied boys revealed that in the age group 12-13 years the average chronological age was 12.94 ± 0.49 years, and the age was determined by the Cameriere method 12.59 ± 0.63 years, and no significant difference was established between them  (p = 0.14). The results of the studies have shown the suitability of the Cameriere formula modified during the process, based on the assessment of open tops and the number of teeth with completed root formation as a marker for the physiological development of the child and one that can be used to determine the child's age.Since studies had a limited age range on a particular sample of dental patients, further studies should evaluate the utility of this method in a larger sample of children in the extended age range of the given region of Ukraine and, if possible, adjust the formula we modified for the stability of the averaged indicators in different samples by age and sex.

Background: Dental caries is one of the commonest oral problems affecting children globally involving the people of all region and society. It can be seen in all age groups of children involving both deciduous and permanent teeth. Treatment of dental caries involves restorative or pulp therapy which is not only expensive but also painful and demanding for the child. Considering these factors prevention of caries seems to be the most acceptable and desirable option. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on department of Dental Surgery, Manipal teaching Hospital, Fulbari, Pokhara. Total of 3174 school going children attending Dentaloutpatient department, from 1st January 2008 to 31st December 2009, from the age group of 5-14 years were included in the study.Assessment was carried out usingWorld Health Organization (1997) criteria.Data was compiled and subjected to analysis using SPSS version 12.0. Results: Prevalence of Dental caries in study population was found to be 47.1%. Caries prevalence in the age group 5-7, 8-10 and 11-14 years were 20.7%, 48.2% and 52.46% respectively. Mean Decayed missing and filled teeth (DMFT) in the age group 5-7, 8-10 and 11-14 years were 1.96, 2.43 and 1.84 respectively. The treatment requirement in age groups of 5-7years, 8-10 years and 11-14 years children were 87.2%, 85.3% and 71.4% respectively.Most cases required single surface filling. Conclusion: The prevalence of dental caries was highest in age group of 11-14 years; mean DMFT was highest in age group of 8-10 years and the treatment need was highest in age group of 5-7 years.
