Abstract: Dental caries is one of the gum diseases which is commonly found in the community (adults and children). The infection process is progressive and accumulated on dental hard tissues characterized by tissue damage which begins from the tooth surface and extends into the pulp. This study aimed to describe the caries status in children aged 11 to 12 years old that belonged to the members of Jamkesmas in Tumatangtang 1 village, Tomohon Selatan. As subjects, there were 54 childrens aged 11 to 12 years old obtained by using total sampling method. This was a descriptive observational study. Measurement of dental caries status was conducted by using an index score of caries. Caries index is a number that indicates the number of dental caries in a person or group of people. The measurement includes the number of decayed teeth (Decay), number of extracted teeth due to caries (Missing) and the number of patched teeth (Filling). DMF - T Index is the simplest and most commonly used in epidemiological surveys of dental caries. The results showed that from the DMF – T index of all samples, the total index D (Decay) 159, M (Missing) 45, and F (Filling) 0. Based on WHO criteria, the average 3.8 belonged to the category of fair caries status. The average of DMF-T index of boys was categorized as fair caries status, meanwhile of girls was categorized as high caries status. Conclusion: Caries status of children aged 11-12 years old that belonged to the members of Jamkesmas in Tumatangtang 1 village, Tomohon Selatan was categorized as fair status.Keywords: caries status, children, DMF-T indexAbstrak: Karies gigi merupakan penyakit gigi dan mulut yang paling banyak ditemukan di masyarakat baik dewasa maupun anak.

Subject. This article analyzes existing theories about the prevalence and causes of dental caries, which is considered as a civilization disease. The crucial role of endogenous factors in the risk of caries, including a pulp and dental fluid, is noted. Data are given that acids do not actively participate in the process of demineralization, which is confirmed by numerous theoretical and hypothetical points. The role of some materials produced by dental industry based on this “pseudo-acidogenic” theory and used in the treatment of caries, as well as the false and negative consequences created by them in general, is analyzed, and adequate parallels are carried out. The purpose of the study was the theoretical justification of the key role of acetylcholine (the cholinomimetic mediator located on the Toms fibers) in the occurrence of dental caries. Methodology. Russian and foreign research works due to the etiology, prevalence and pathogenesis of dental caries were studied, and a comparative theoretical analysis of the available data on this issue was carried out. Results. Based on the results of numerous studies cited in the available literature and our studies, we performed an analysis of theoretical principles and substantiated the data that the process of demineralization occurring in dental caries cannot be caused by acids. Therefore, the only and decisive factor in the origin of the demineralization process is the occurrence of the process because of alkaline substances. Conclusions. Based on the studied references, we present the data that the most current theories of the etiopathogenesis of caries are imperfect in terms of solving the problem, which, in our opinion, requires further study of the process both of acetylcholine and the enzyme acetylcholinesterase inhibition in the local form and inside dental hard tissues.

Major Factors

Dental caries is a multifactorial disease that is caused by an interplay of three major factors, i.e., teeth, cariogenic bacteria, and fermentable sugars. Streptococcus mutans and S. sobrinus, collectively termed mutans streptococci (MS), are principal causative agents of dental caries. Initial MS-tooth surface attachment is followed by firm and irreversible adhesion of MS to the tooth surface, accompanied by the synthesis of water-insoluble glucan from sucrose via enzymatic action of glucosyltransferases (GTases). MS induce severe dental caries in rats fed on a high-sucrose diet. Epidemiological surveys indicate that frequent sucrose intakes are associated with high prevalence of dental caries in humans. In contrast, dietary sucrose restrictions and/or use of nonfermentable sucrose substitutes clearly influence the GTase activities of MS, resulting in decreased caries development. Structural isomers of sucrose (i.e., disaccharides composed of glucose and fructose with different linkages) will not function as substrates for GTases of MS, nor be utilized as energy sources by MS. Palatinose and trehalulose are included in this category, and are produced in commercial scales in Japan. Glucose oligomers containing α-1, 6 and/or α-1, 4 linkages are found to inhibit glucan synthesis by MS from sucrose, although these oligomers are hydrolyzed by MS to release acids. Lastly, sugar alcohols, including maltitol and palatinit, are useful as noncaries-inducing sweeteners.

AbstractThe study aimed to evaluate oral health in women with eating disorders. The clinical study covered 30 patients aged 14-36 years suffering from diagnosed eating disorders and treated in closed psychiatric institutions. The control group comprised 30 healthy women at the mean age corresponding to that of the patient group. No relationships were confirmed between eating disorders and the intensity of dental caries. Eating disorders contribute to increased loss of dental hard tissues. In women suffering from eating disorders non-specific lesions in oral cavity are more common than in healthy women.

Prevention of dental caries in children is one of the current problems of modern pediatric dentistry, which is due to the high prevalence and intensity of this disease. Analysis of the results of epidemiological studies conducted among children of different ages in the regions of Ukraine shows a significant increase in caries growth in recent years, both temporary and permanent teeth, which leads to in-depth study of the hardness of dental tissues to cariogenic factors in connection with the need in the constant improvement of methods of treatment and prevention of this pathology. The purpose of the study was to analyze the value of enamel caries resistance as a detector of resistance of dental hard tissues to carious process and its complications. The subject of the research is the work of domestic and foreign researchers on this topic. In the course of the research the bibliosemantic method and structural-logical analysis were used. Today, dental caries is the most common disease in different age groups, which is confirmed by the prevalence – 90-100% and a sharp trend of increasing its intensity. Given the high rates of this pathology, it should be remembered that its untimely treatment leads to the following complications: pulpitis, periodontitis, tooth extraction. An important concept that indicates the possibility of caries is caries resistance, which indicates the level of resistance of the enamel to caries and has an informative diagnostic value for the dentist. According to modern ideas, in the pathogenesis of dental caries the leading role is played by caries-resistant enamel. Its mineral base is formed by isomorphic crystals of apatite, which contain various chemical elements, and their amount in the body is closely related to the amount in the environment. It is established that more than 40 chemical elements take part in the process of tooth mineralization, the most important of which belongs to calcium, phosphorus, fluoride. Insufficient amount or excess of certain micronutrients in the environment, especially in soils and drinking water, can change their content in the body and, consequently, in the hard tissues of the teeth, affecting their resistance to caries. It is well known that the influence of a number of adverse environmental factors leads to a decrease in the resistance of the body as a whole and, as a consequence, to a decrease in the caries resistance of the enamel of the hard tissues of the teeth. Sensitivity to the effects of adverse factors increases significantly in the prepubertal period, a time not only of intensive growth of the child and the formation of his personality, but also a period of mineralization of more than half of permanent teeth. Therefore, exactly at this time dentists should pay special attention to the prevention of caries of permanent teeth in children by improving the conditions of secondary mineralization of tooth enamel, thereby increasing their level of caries resistance

The prevalence of dental caries and obesity is high as both raise significant health problems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between dental caries, the number of salivary colonies forming units of Mutans Streptococci (MS) and Lactobacillus (LB), and the nutritional status in a group of children from Transylvania. This observational study used a sample of 154 school children, aged 9 to 12 years. The prevalence of caries was measured using the decayed, missing, and filled teeth index for deciduous teeth (dmft index) and for permanent teeth (DMFT index). Height and weight were assessed for each subject, and their body mass index (BMI) percentile was calculated. Salivary levels of Mutans Streptococci (MS) and Lactobacillus (LB) were determined using the CRT Bacteria Test from Ivoclar Vivadent. In our study, we found a positive association between the BMI percentile, MS count, LB count, tooth brushing frequency, and the incidence of dental caries in children aged 9 to 12 years old. Future preventive programs should include nutrition control in order to prevent both the apparition of dental caries and obesity in children.
