WHO expects to achieve maximum functionality teeth population aged 35-44 years must be at least 20 teeth were still there. Lost Tooth Index (TLI) means the percentage of the number of permanent teeth were missing against the number of dental caries (DMF-T). This study aimed to describe TLI urban woman. The research method cross-sectional study in a population of women majelis taklim in the Village Cilandak Barat, South Jakarta. Samples are 30 people who obtained purposively. The data used are primary data through questionnaires to determine the characteristic of respondents (age) and intraoral examination to obtain the data of experience permanent dental caries (DMF-T) and TLI. The results showed urban women aged 35 – 44 years experience 1 – 2 lost teeth, while the age of 45 – 54 years ≥ 5 tooth loss. The average missing 4.83 with numbers DMF-T on average 6.66 so that the figure of 72.52% TLI. Urban women suffered a loss of 72.52% due to dental caries. Suggested respondents maintain dental and oral hygiene to reduce the risk of missing teeth due to caries and for mothers who have lost teeth using dental prostheses.

Abstract: In children, caries occurs mostly at the age of 6 to 9 years. At the age of 6 years permanent molar teeth begin to erupt, therefore, they are more susceptible to caries. Moreover, at the age of 9 years, a period of mingled teeth where the number of permanent teeth and of the milk teeth are nearly the same. This study aimed to obtain the prevalence of dental caries of the first permanent molar among students of elementary schools in South Tomohon. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was 72 students aged 6-9 years old. Samples were obtained by using total sampling method. Primary data were obtained by examination of the teeth and mouth. The results showed that the prevalence of caries among students of elementary schools in South Tomohon was 68.1% (49 students). Based on gender, caries were most frequent among males (68.4%). Based on age, caries were most frequent among students of 8 years old (79.2%). Based on tooth element, tooth 36 had the highest incidence of caries (37.2%). Based on the severity of caries, dentine caries was the most frequent (46.51%).Keywords: dental caries, the first permanent molarAbstrak: Karies merupakan penyakit yang banyak menyerang anak-anak terutama umur 6 sampai 9 tahun.

Background: Tooth loss is an easily identifiable outcome that summarizes a complex suite of factors in an individual’s history of dental disease and its treatment by dental services over a lifetime. Assessment of overall tooth loss data is essential for evaluating epidemiologically the adequacy of dental care provided at a systems level, as well as for placing in context tooth loss for non-disease causes. For example, when derived from prosthetic treatment planning; the latter may unfortunately lead to some teeth being extracted (pulled) for the sake of better comprehensive clinical results. The objective of the present manuscript was to identify the contribution to overall tooth loss, by extraction of permanent teeth because of prosthetic treatment reasons. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study included sex, age, total number of extractions performed by subject, sextant (anterior vs. posterior), group of teeth (incisors, canines, premolars and molars), upper or lower arch, and the main reason underlying extraction (extraction for any reason vs. prosthetic treatment), in patients 18 years of age and older seeking care a dental school clinic in Mexico. A multivariate logistic regression model was generated. Results: A total of 749 teeth were extracted in 331 patients; 161 teeth (21.5% of total) were extracted for explicit prosthetic treatment indications. As age increased, the likelihood of having an extraction for prosthetic reasons increased 3% (OR=1.03, p<0.001). Women (OR=1.57, p<0.05) were more likely to be in this situation, and molars (OR=2.70, p<0.001) were most at risk. As the total number of extractions increased, the risk of having an extraction for prosthetic reasons decreased (OR=0.94, p<0.05). Conclusions: A significant amount (21.5%) of the extractions of permanent teeth were performed for prosthetic reasons in this dental school clinical environment; age, sex, type of tooth, and the total number of extractions moderated such pattern.

Objective. To evaluate the reasons for permanent teeth extractions and related factors among adult patients visiting dental clinics in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods. This retrospective cross-sectional study included data of patients who underwent teeth extractions. Data were collected from public and private dental clinics in different cities of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia (January–March 2020). The demographic information of patients and their reasons for teeth extractions were obtained from participating dentists. Results. The study included data of 696 patients with 55.9% of males and 44.1% of females. The mean number of teeth extractions in the sample was 1.86 ± 1.8, and it increased significantly with advancing age ( P ≤ 0.001 ). Saudi (1.97 ± 1.98) versus non-Saudi patients (1.55 ± 1.11) ( P = 0.02 ) and patients in public practice (2.03 ± 1.95) versus patients in private practice (1.50 ± 1.38) ( P ≤ 0.001 ) showed significantly higher teeth extractions. Dental caries was the most common reason for teeth extractions (49.1%), followed by remaining roots (18.5%), periodontal disease (18.4%), and impactions (7.2%). Most commonly extracted teeth included tooth # 30 (9.8%), followed by tooth #16 (9.6%), tooth # 1 (8.8%), tooth # 19 (8.3%), and tooth # 4 (8.3%). On the other hand, upper incisors were the least commonly extracted teeth. Conclusions. Dental caries, remaining roots, periodontal disease, and impactions were the most common reasons for teeth extractions in our sample of patients. The extractions increased significantly with increasing age. Saudis and patients in public clinics underwent significantly higher teeth extractions. Measures aimed at the prevention and treatment of oral conditions can help reduce teeth extractions and improve the quality of life of patients.

Introduction: According to World Health Organization, oral health means the retention throughout life of a functional, aesthetic and natural dentition of not less than 20 teeth and not requiring a prosthesis. The major reasons for tooth loss are dental caries and periodontal disease. Proper understanding of reasons for tooth loss helps to improve oral health. Objective: To identify the reasons and patterns of permanent teeth loss among patients attending Kantipur Dental College. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 403 patients aged 18 years and above attending Kantipur Dental College, Kathmandu by convenience sampling method. Data was collected through structured questionnaire and clinical examination and was analysed using SPSS version 20. Results: A total of 403 patients were examined of which 38% had tooth loss. Mean number of tooth loss was 2.99+3.44. Statistically significant difference was found in mean tooth loss between age groups and levels of education (P value < 0.001). Dental caries was the most common reason of tooth loss followed by periodontal disease. Most common reason for not saving the tooth was "tooth cannot be saved" (65.1%). Mandibular molars accounted for majority of tooth loss followed by maxillary molars. Conclusion: The results of the present study show that dental caries was the major cause of tooth loss irrespective of the age group. It points out the need to carry out oral health awareness and other preventive programs both at school and community levels.

In literature real time monitoring of dental caries in rural parts of India are lacking. This warrants periodic prevalence studies to plan and implement oral health programs. So the present study aims at evaluating the dental caries status among rural population in Mysuru Taluk, of Karnataka. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1800 children with recruited populations at varying age levels of three population groups 4-6, 8-10 and 12-14 years. Data regarding oral health status (DMFT, deft, PUFA, pufa) were collected by type-III clinical examinations. The collected data were administered statistically. In 8-10 years children permanent teeth caries prevalence was found to be 54.3% which increased to 67.8 % in12-14 years. Among 4-6 years children primary teeth caries prevalence was found to be 47.4% which increased to 73.2% in 8-10 years. Among 4-6 and 12-14 years children percentage prevalence of PUFA was 32.2% which increased to 52.3% in 8-10 years. No clinically significant variation was observed in Caries prevalence among gender. The study outcome revealed oral health condition in children of rural Mysuru was neglected. High prevalence of dental caries was observed among Children with low dental care utilization.

Background: Dental caries area public health problem. Its prevalence is about 60%  in the Pakistani population. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to correlate the association between decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) score and its body mass index in patients visiting the Dental Department of Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to May 2021 at the Department of Operative Dentistry Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences. Patients with age 16 to 70 years with presence of atleast 15 to 18 permanent teeth were included in te study. Patients having primary teeth were set in exclusion criteria. For Dental caries status, decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index was used. Height and weight were measured using digital scales. BMI was calculated according to the formula weight in kilograms/height in centimeters. Data were analyzed for descriptive statistics. One Way ANOVA test was used for association. The statistical significance level was evaluated at p<0.05 Results: We were able to obtain the data of a total of 203 patients of which 57% were female.The mean age was 36.7±13.8. ). The mean DMTF score was 5.7±3.7. In association of BMI with DMTF score, females BMI was statistically significant with DMTF score with p=0.039 and in overall was also significant p =0.002 Conclusion: DMFT score was higher in overweight and obese individuals and it was significant statistically. However, large community based studies are required to confirm the association.

The mandibular first molars are one of the first permanent teeth to erupt; thus, it remains the longest in terms of exposure to cariogenic pathogens. Also, its anatomical location and structure make it a prime location for dental caries (DC) but hard to access for cleaning. Thus, we aim to compare its incidence in adults and teenagers because the identification of the most susceptible age for tooth decay is key in prevention and prophylaxis against the same. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by reviewing and analysing the data of 86,000 patient records from June 2019 to April 2020. Patients with treated mandibular first molars were selected from the age group of 13 and above. A Microsoft Excel 2016 data spreadsheet was used to collect data and was later exported to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows (Version 20.0, SPSS). The number of males with DC in their mandibular first molar (59%) was higher than that of the females (41%). The highest number of cases were reported to prevail in the 'Young Adults' group, with 56.7%, followed by the 'Middle Adults' with 26%. This shows that adults have a higher incidence of DC in their mandibular first molars than teenagers. Also, there was a clear incidence of 46 having a higher incidence than caries in 36. (52.5% > 47.5%). There is an association between age and incidence of dental DC as proved by our Chi-Square Test, where we obtained a 'p' value of p<0.05, making it statistically significant. Once lost, our teeth cannot be naturally replaced, making prevention imperative. Thus, identifying the age in which we are most prone to decay is a great leap forward. But since the study does present with limitations, further research needs to be done to confirm the same.

Abstract Psychological stress is a potential risk factor for oral diseases. However, evidence for association between work stress and oral diseases is lacking. We aimed to examine the associations of work stress, according to the effort-reward imbalance model, with dental caries, periodontal disease, and tooth loss. This cross-sectional study included 619 regular employees. Work stress was assessed using the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) ratio. Dental caries and tooth loss were assessed according to the number of decayed and filled teeth (DFT) and missing teeth (MT) among set of 28 teeth. Severe periodontitis was assessed using a questionnaire. The mean ERI ratio (with standard deviations) was 1.12 (0.47). In the pooled analysis, a one-unit increase in the ERI ratio was associated with -0.90 (95% CI = -1.67, -0.12) changes in the mean DFT and -0.20 (95% CI =-0.45, 0.06) changes in the mean MT from adjusted linear regression models. A one-unit increase in the ERI ratio was also associated with 1.66 (95% CI = 1.10, 2.52) of the risk for severe periodontitis based on Poisson regression models. ERI at work was associated with a low number of dental caries and tooth loss, and an increased risk of severe periodontitis.
