Irreparable Damage

Dentistry is one of the clinical disciplines that is closely related to medicine, but also to the technology of making various devices and placing artificial materials that compensate and/or upgrade lost teeth and surrounding structures. Dentistry is also medically responsible for the treatment of patients with diseases of the oral cavity. The main task of dentistry is healthy teeth and oral cavity, ie their preservation and treatment of damaged teeth. Caries is the most common dental disease, and is caused by the multiplication of bacteria inside the oral cavity due to lack of oral hygiene. If not treated in time, caries penetrates deeper tooth structures and destroys them which leading to tooth decay. The most common symptoms of caries are tooth sensitivity and toothache. If these symptoms occur, it is necessary to perform an examination at the dentist in order to prevent the disease immediately at the beginning and to avoid significant consequences for dental health. If caries is not treated in time, there is a high chance that irreparable damage will occur to the teeth and tooth tissue, which can ultimately result in the loss of one or more teeth.

Relevance. Periodontal diseases are a medical and social problem due to the wide spread among the population of developed countries and the impact on the quality of life. Among the many factors that are important in the development of inflammatory periodontal diseases, an important role is played by adherence to the recommendations of the dentist in respecting oral hygiene. Aim of the work was to study the adherence of patients of the dental clinic to compliance with preventive measures in the oral cavity.Materials and methods. A total of 98 patients of dental clinic, 62 female (medial age 38,6 ± 14,0 years) and 36 male (medial age 37,2±13,1 years) participated in survey. The study participants flled in the profle and answered questions about age, gender, harmful working conditions and bad habits, frequency of visits to the dental clinic, attitudes to the prevention of dental diseases, knowledge about the means and methods of oral hygiene.Results. As a result of the study, it was found that in the vast majority of cases, respondents are employed in production that does not adversely affect their health (91%), only 8% of patients indicated harmful working conditions.Conclusions. The study revealed that, despite the recommendations of the dentist, patients are not always committed to the implementation of preventive measures in the oral cavity. Dentists need to motivate patients to use not only the usual methods and means of hygiene, but also additional ones necessary for maintaining dental health.

Background: Oral hygiene behaviours as well as dietary habits before bed can affect children’s dental health resulting in higher prevalence of dental disease. Dental disease can affect children’s health, development and even school performance. If left untreated, dental disease can progress and it can lead to extractions under general anaesthetic causing further distress for children and families. Consistent and appropriate oral hygiene behaviours and dietary habits can prevent dental diseases from occurring in the first place. Objective: This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between oral hygiene behaviours, dietary habits around bedtime and children’s dental health. Methods: A total of 185 parents with children between the ages of 3 and 7 years from deprived areas participated in the study. Data on bedtime routine activities were collected using an automated text-survey system. Children’s dental health status was established through examination of dental charts and dmft (decayed, missed, filled teeth) scores. Results: In total, 52.4% of parents reported that their children’s teeth were brushed every night. The majority of children (58.9%) had dmft scores over zero. In total, 51 (46.7% of children with dmft score over 0 and 27.5% of all children) children had active decay. The mean dmft score for those experiencing decay was 2.96 (SD = 2.22) with an overall mean dmft score of 1.75 (SD = 2.24). There were significant correlations between frequency of tooth brushing, frequency of snacks/drinks before bed and dmft scores (r = −0.584, p < 0.001 and r = 0.547, p = 0.001 respectively). Finally, higher brushing frequency was associated with a lower likelihood of a dmft score greater than 0 (Exp(B) = 0.9). Conclusions: Despite families implementing oral hygiene behaviours as part of their bedtime routines those behaviours varied in their consistency. Results of this study highlight the need for additional studies that consider bedtime routine-related activities and especially the combined effects of oral hygiene practices and dietary habits due to their potentially important relationship with children’s dental health.

Relevance. The high prevalence of tooth decay requires investigation of its risk factors. The aim was to study tooth decay risk factors among six-year-old children according to the level of dental health (based on parents’ assessment).Materials and methods. The research evaluated the dental health of six-year-olds and factors defining their oral health; The study surveyed 515 parents of six-year-old children from 7 kindergartens in Arkhangelsk. Pearson chi-square test assessed the differences in the frequency of tooth decay factors among six-year-old children according to the level of dental health. The accepted significance level was 0.05.Results. The Arkhangelsk parents evaluated the dental health of their six-year-olds as relatively favourable: good (41.2%) and satisfactory (46.6%). Only 9.5% of children had poor health. Children generally had good oral hygiene skills: 86.8% liked brushing their teeth; 60.2% squeezed the optimal amount of toothpaste on the toothbrush; 56.7% brushed their teeth twice a day. The dental literacy of parents was satisfactory: 67.0% purchased toothpaste for children; 90.8% considered necessary to treat primary teeth; 69.2% replaced toothbrush every three months; 59.7% visited a pediatric dentist twice a year. The children with poor dental health had insufficient oral hygiene skills: 46.9% did not like teeth cleaning; 51.1% brushed their teeth once a day. Their diet was not healthy: 100.0% did not eat hard food; 65.3% frequently consumed sweets. The parents  of children with poor dental health had low medical literacy and poor oral hygiene: 46.9% did not know that treatment of primary teeth was necessary; 42.9% considered the treatment of primary teeth as unnecessary; 32.6% purchased whatever toothpaste. The general negative trend is to use toothpaste without fluoride (68.1%).Conclusions. The results of the study demonstrated a significantly higher frequency of cariogenic factors in children with poor dental health.

A study of oral hygiene condition in primary school children based on Fedorov-Volodkina index has revealed that children do not clean their teeth properly enough and the average indicator of the studied group is unsatisfactory. The study based on children’s age indicates that the best oral hygiene condition is found in children aged 9 (satisfactory), whereas the worst – in children aged 8 (unsatisfactory). This, in our opinion, is due to the period of frontal teeth eruption and the discomfort associated with such process. Children clean the frontal area not properly. As children grow older, their personal hygiene skills improve as evidenced by the findings of comparing 6- and 9-year-olds’ indices (р<0.05). It was determined that each child’s index by Green-Vermillion and obtained results allows assessing the condition of oral cavity and cleaning skills. It has been identified significant differences in the oral hygiene condition in children who suffer from caries and in children with healthy teeth. Thus, before teeth brushing 6-year-old children without caries had unsatisfactory oral hygiene condition, children with caries –poor oral hygiene condition, 7-year old children – unsatisfactory one, 8-year-old children – unsatisfactory and poor, 9-year-old children – satisfactory and unsatisfactory respectively. The poorest oral hygiene condition was observed with 6-year-olds with caries. It has been assessed that dental tartar based on the studied indices. The study has revealed insufficient oral hygiene of the frontal and lateral jaw areas in children of primary school. This phenomenon creates cariogenic situation in the oral cavity. Having studied oral hygiene condition in children, it was offered by us to brush teeth with the toothbrush and toothpaste which they use at home. They brushed their teeth under the supervision, but without dentist’s management. Observed results were described in this paper. After brushing, oral hygiene condition has been studied again. When assessing Fedorov-Volodkina index, it was not observed any improvement of the index after teeth brushing in children without caries. In 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children oral hygiene was unsatisfactory, whereas in 9-year-old children it was satisfactory. Oral hygiene improvement was observed in children who have caries. In 6-year-old children – from poor to unsatisfactory, in 7-, 8-, and 9-year-old children it remained at the same unsatisfactory level, but hygiene index indicators probably decreased (р<0.05). The findings indicate that children with caries do not pay attention to oral hygiene, whereas teeth brushing improve the studied index. Green-Vermillion index enables to determine oral hygiene condition in frontal and lateral jaw areas. After individual teeth brushing this hygiene index values slightly improve compared to original values, however, no significant difference in hygiene level was identified. Findings from studying various hygiene indices indicate that children with caries pay attention to brushing frontal jaw area and absolutely no attention to brushing lateral jaw areas with first permanent molars that have recently erupted, and they are not enough mineralized, and are prone to caries at this age. This encourages a study of teeth brushing skills of children of primary school using the suggested form of child oral hygiene skills followed by development of oral hygiene recommendations for the children of this age group with parental involvement.

Today, the issues of studying the dental health of children and adolescents living in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan remain relevant. The health of the younger generation, including dental health, is an important priority area that contributes to improving the quality of life. Aim. To study dental morbidity in children and adolescents in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Material and methods. A survey of 608 children and adolescents living in educational institutions was carried out. The results of the preventive dental examination were recorded in an electronic dental card. Passport data, subjective, objective data and data of intraoral examination were included in the electronic map for studying the prevalence. Particular importance was attached to the state of oral hygiene, the indicator of sanitized patients and the need for sanitation of the oral cavity. Results and discussion. The rationale for conducting the survey in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan was the study of the level of health in children and adolescents to establish risk factors for dental morbidity. Dental examination of 608 children and adolescents testifies to the high intensity and prevalence of dental caries, periodontal tissue diseases, dentoalveolar anomalies. Most children and adolescents need oral cavity sanitation, this figure was 51,9%. Undoubtedly, in educational institutions it is necessary to carry out sanitary and educational work and timely sanitation of the oral cavity. The obtained statistical data will allow us to draw up a "dental health map" of children and adolescents living in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan and develop a comprehensive program for the prevention of dental diseases. Conclusions. One of the main issues in dental practice is the study of the prevalence of caries in early childhood, including among children under 14 years of age, in order to prevent the development of complications, to carry out preventive measures to improve the quality of life. Dental caries is the most common among children living in educational institutions. Also, 28% of children have poor-quality fillings, decayed teeth, and due to non-observance of oral hygiene, inflammatory diseases of the periodontal tissues develop. About 35% of children need orthodontic care due to the development of dentoalveolar anomalies. Orthodontic care, which is a paid service, is not fully provided to this category of children and adolescents. Therefore, there remain a number of organizational-preventive and organizational-therapeutic measures that need to be addressed. Keywords: examination, dental health, analysis, project.
