Objective: To investigate caries prevalence and examine its relationship with socioeconomic status and oral health behavior of Vietnamese kindergarten children. Study design: The study was carried out on 1,028 children aged 2–5 years in six kindergartens in Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam. Information about socioeconomics and oral health behaviors was collected through a self-administered questionnaire, and oral health status by clinical dental examination. Results: Clinical dental examination found that overall caries prevalence and mean dmft were 89.1% and 9.32. Caries prevalence and mean dmft increased greatly from two years to three years old, and gradually developed from three years to five years old. A logistic regression revealed that caries had an inverse relationship with mothers' educational level and a positive relationship with the habit of retaining food in the mouth for a long time in two-year-old children. Prolonged breastfeeding, more frequent sweets consumption, no thumb sucking habit, and higher modified debris index score were the risk factors for caries among three-to-five-year-old children. Conclusions: This study indicated a high prevalence of caries and related risk factors such as low mother's educational level and inappropriate oral health behavior among kindergarten children in Vietnam.

The United Nations General Assembly in 2012, at its 66th session, recognized that oral diseases pose a serious health problem for many countries. The European Health Commission has proposed 40 dental health indicators to assess the main criteria for dental status, achievements in prevention and possible risk factors for dental diseases. Dental caries are one of the most pressing problems of pediatric dentistry not only in the world, but also in the Kyrgyz Republic. Unfortunately, in Kyrgyzstan, the incidence of caries remains stable at a high level. Finding and applying effective methods and approaches to the diagnosis of early manifestations of caries in children is a relevant and important point. Therefore, timely diagnosis of caries at the age of 6–7 years prevents the transition of initial forms of caries to carious defects, and in the future eliminates the use of invasive methods of surgical restorative treatment. Regular assessment of the possible impact of behavioral risk factors for dental caries in school-aged children should be a mandatory component of monitoring the medical effectiveness of prevention programs. Through primary and secondary dental caries prevention programs in children, it is possible to approach the best international standards for the quality of dental care for children. The solution to the problem of high incidence of dental caries in children is possible only if the preventive focus of school dentistry, consisting in hygienic education and education of schoolchildren, is prioritized. The importance of a comprehensive approach in solving the problems of pediatric dentistry lies in improving the effectiveness of the dentist and the quality of services provided.

Full textAbstract:
Dental caries are most likely to occur on occlusal surfaces from the early eruptive stages of the tooth. In children, about 80% to 90% of dental caries are occlusal caries. Different preventive modalities are used to prevent occlusal caries. One of the methods used for occlusal caries prevention is fluoride varnish. A vast number of clinical trials have evaluated several types of sealant material and fluoride varnish to assess their ability to prevent occlusal caries in both primary and permanent dentition. The purpose of the current study was to provide an updated overview of the development, composition, mechanism of action, application, and safety of fluoride varnish, as well as its effect on occlusal caries prevention. This review of recently published studies on fluoride varnish and its effect on occlusal caries prevention shows that in children at moderate to high risk of caries, fluoride varnishes prevent occlusal caries. Both resin-based fissure sealants and fluoride varnish are effective for occlusal caries prevention for first-permanent molars. However, it was not possible to identify which one has the best effect. It is recommend that fluoride varnish is applied for children at high risk of caries two to four times per year.

The global nutrition transition has contributed to child obesity and dental caries in developing countries, including Vietnam. Few studies have described the nutrition and oral health of mothers and children. This a descriptive study of the nutrition and oral health characteristics of a convenience sample of 571 children aged 2 to 5 years and their mothers from 5 urban preschools in Central and South Vietnam. The mothers completed a written survey, and the children received dental exams and weight/height measurements. High rates of bottle-feeding and the consumption of sweets were reported. One in 4 children were overweight/obese. Dental caries increased in prevalence and severity by age—at 5 years, 86.7% of children had tooth decay in an average of 8.5 teeth, and 70.9% experienced mouth pain. Most mothers and children suffered from untreated dental disease. Public health programs should focus on nutrition and oral health promotion, as well as dental treatment from pregnancy and birth onward.

Summary. Dental caries is one of the most common dental diseases among children. High rates of dental caries occur even in early childhood, which determines the relevance of the development of prevention programs and evaluation of their effectiveness in dental offices.
The aim of the study – to evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive prevention of early childhood dental caries among children living in Bukovyna region.
Materials and Methods. We examined 80 children aged 2–3 years and formed 2 observation groups: main and comparison (42 and 38 children, respectively). Clinical effectiveness of dental caries prevention was determined using the prevalence, intensity of dental caries (dmft), simplified index of oral hygiene (OHI-S). The content of phosphate ions, alkaline phosphatase, total and ionized calcium in the oral fluid was determined by a unified method using reagents from “Philisit-Diagnostics” (Ukraine). Oral hygiene tools were selected for children in both groups and they were trained in oral hygiene. Vitamin-mineral drug "Supervit" and probiotic pills "BioGaia ProDentis" were orally prescribed for 20 days for the prevention of early childhood dental caries among children of the main group. The course of prevention was repeated 2 times a year. The degree of probability of the obtained results was statistically assessed.
Results and Discussion. The obtained data after the first course of prevention reflected the positive dynamics of changes in laboratory parameters. In particular, the increase in calcium content, mainly due to its free fraction, and phosphate ions, normalization of alkaline phosphatase activity and increase the pH in the oral fluid.
Conclusions. We found a significant improvement in the state of the mineralizing potential of oral fluid among children, which confirms the effectiveness of the prevention complex.

Dental health problems are more common among the children and adolescent. A number of causes are behind it. Early childhood caries also calls baby bottle caries. Early childhood caries (ECC) is the presence of one or more decayed (non-cavited or cavited lesions), missing (due to caries) or filled tooth surface in any primary tooth in a preschool-age child as defined by- American Dental Association(ADA) and the term "severe Early childhood Caries (SECC) "refers to "Atypical" or "progressive" or "acute" or "rampant" patterns of dental caries. The severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) is due to low frequency and improper tooth brushing. Children of breast feed longer than one year and bottle feed containing carbohydrates specially at night are more affected. In low-income families, who consume snacks in high amount, bottle with sweetened drinks other than milk or water are more suffer. Early childhood caries (ECC) evolve with the factors like age start of brushing, lack of proper tooth brushing, Parental attitudes toward children's oral health, plaque on primary incisors at 1 year of age, over weight and obesity, Frequent consumption of cariogenic foods and bacterial infection, Feeding practices in the first year of life, not using of dental floss and presence of S. Mutans, Lacto-bacilli etc. Ethnic minority groups are also sufferer. Four predisposing risk factors are related to ECC- child's age, gender, age at weaning, and frequency of sweet drinks. Tooth brushing awareness among the children, Socio-economic upliftment, cultural and behavioral changes, Parenteral education, feeding practice, weaning at proper age, maintenance of oral hygiene, treatment of bacterial infection are essential for primary prevention of early childhood dental caries. Secondary prevention needs proper diagnosis and appropriate restorative treatment. Treatment modalities varies from severity of disease; temporary, permanent filling, crowning, root canal and treatment of complications.

Background: Dental caries is a preventable disease. This prevention covers all aspects of dentistry carried out by dentists, individuals, and society that affect the health of the oral cavity. Prevention services are focused on the early stages, before the onset of disease or pre-pathogenesis. At the onset stage, the disease is a primary preventive service or a service to prevent disease. This is marked by efforts to improve health (Health Promotion) and provide special protection (specific protection).Objective: To explore the differences in dental caries prevention behavior: puzzles and storytelling as a medium for health education.Methods: Quasi-experimental design research with non-equivalent control group design.Results: Prevention of dental caries in the group that was given health education by means of a puzzle game showed an average of adequate prevention behavior (20.9); with storytelling games, it shows the average of good preventive behavior (26.5); The prevention of dental caries in the control group showed an average of adequate prevention behavior (12.8), and differences in behavior between groups given puzzle games and storytelling in the prevention of dental caries in children at Pacarkembang Kindergarten Surabaya with the result ρ = 0.000.Conclusion: There is an influence between health education with puzzle games and storytelling in the prevention of dental caries in children.

Objectives: To evaluate the available evidence that the use of arginine-containing dental care products prevents the development of new caries lesions and the progression of existing lesions. Search Methods: We performed a systematic literature search of databases including PubMed, the Cochrane Library and EMBASE. Selection Criteria: We selected randomized controlled trials of treatment with arginine in fluoride-containing dental products measuring dental caries incidence or progression in children, adults and elderly subjects. Data Collection and Analysis: Two review authors independently assessed trials for risk of bias and evaluated overall study quality using the GRADE classification. Main Results: Due to conflicts of interest and weak transferability to Swedish conditions, no conclusions can be drawn from studies on the effects of arginine-fluoride toothpaste in children. Arginine-containing toothpaste costs about 40% more than basic fluoride toothpaste; to determine whether it is more cost-effective, the higher cost must be considered in relation to any additional caries-preventive effect. The literature review also disclosed some questionable research ethics: in several of the studies, the children in the control group used non-fluoride toothpaste. Toothpaste without fluoride is not as effective against dental caries as the standard treatment - fluoride toothpaste - which has a well-documented effect. This contravenes the fundamental principles of research ethics. Conclusion: At present there is insufficient evidence in support of a caries-preventive effect for the inclusion of arginine in toothpastes. More rigorous studies, and studies which are less dependent on commercial interests, are required.

Full textAbstract:
Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most prevalent diseases in children worldwide. ECC is driven by a dysbiotic state of oral microorganisms mainly caused by a sugar-rich diet. Additionally, poor oral hygiene or insufficient dental plaque removal leads to the rapid progression of ECC. ECC leads not only to dental destruction and pain with children, but also affects the quality of life of the caregivers. Children with extensive ECC are at high risk to develop caries with the permanent dentition or will have other problems with speaking and/or eating. To prevent ECC, several strategies should be taken into account. Children should brush their teeth with toothpastes containing gentle ingredients, such as mild surfactants and agents showing antiadherent properties regarding oral microorganisms. Parents/caregivers have to help their children with brushing the teeth. Furthermore, remineralizing and nontoxic agents should be included into the toothpaste formulation. Two promising biomimetic agents for children’s oral care are amorphous calcium phosphate [Cax(PO4)ynH2O] and hydroxyapatite [Ca5(PO4)3(OH)].

Introduction: Dental caries and malnutrition is a public health problem, concentrated more among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between malnutrition and dental caries among 6, 10 and 12 years children in Mangalore. Materials and Methods: Data about oral health status and body mass index of children of age groups 6, 10 and 12 were collected using a cross-sectional design. Anthropometric measurements and oral examinations were carried out. Statistical test was performed to look for categorical associations between BMI categories and dental caries prevalence and to see if any correlation exists between BMI Score and dental caries severity. Results: The Pearson correlation test result suggested children with less BMI score tend to have more caries affected teeth than children with normal BMI. Conclusions: Physicians and dentists treating young children should consider malnutrition as a risk marker for childhood caries. Inclusion of BMI calculation in the standard dental evaluation of any pediatric patient can provide a screen for prevention, timely diagnosis, and treatment of the children suffering from dental caries and malnutrition.

Objective: To determine the incidence of dental caries in 64 leukemic children who received dental treatment before the initiation of chemotherapy and had intensive oral care during the course. Design: Caries experience (deft/DMFT), white-spot lesions (enamel demineralization), premature primary molar extractions and carious first permanent molars were investigated before and after intensive therapy. Setting: Pediatric Dental Care Unit and Department of Pediatric Hematology, Faculty of Medicine, Uludağ University. Results: The dental caries level was insignificantly higher following chemotherapy compared to the initial caries level. However, the prevalence of white-spot lesions was significantly increased during the course. Caries level in 30 subjects (47%) remained stable. Conclusion: Caries level in leukemic children, who were not caries-free before chemotherapy, could be stabilized by caries prevention methods such as frequent topical fluoride applications and fissure sealants, intensive oral care and improved self-care practices.

Full textAbstract:
Dental caries is one of the most common childhood diseases, and people continue to be susceptible to it throughout their lives. Although dental caries can be arrested and potentially even reversed in its early stages, it is often not self-limiting and progresses without proper care until the tooth is destroyed. Early childhood caries (ECC) is often complicated by inappropriate feeding practices and heavy infection with mutans streptococci. Such children should be targeted with a professional preventive program that includes oral hygiene instructions for mothers or caregivers, along with fluoride and diet counseling. However, these strategies alone are not sufficient to prevent dental caries in high-risk children; prevention of ECC also requires addressing the socioeconomic factors that face many families in which ECC is endemic. The aim of this paper is to systematically review information about ECC and to describe why many children are suffering from dental caries.

Substance use is common in women of reproductive age, but limited data exist on the dental health of their children, including risk of caries. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of 790,758 infants born between 2006 and 2016 in Quebec, Canada. We identified women with substance use disorders before or during pregnancy. The main outcome measure was hospitalization for dental caries in offspring up to 12 y after birth. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association of maternal substance use with pediatric dental caries, adjusted for potential confounders. Children exposed to maternal substance use had a higher incidence of hospitalization for dental caries than unexposed children (105.2 vs. 27.0 per 10,000 person-years). Maternal substance use was associated with 1.96 times the risk of childhood dental caries (95% CI, 1.80–2.14), including a greater risk of caries of enamel, dentin, or cementum (HR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.82–2.19) and dental pulp (HR, 2.36; 95% CI, 2.07–2.70), relative to no substance use. Associations were elevated for alcohol (HR, 2.31; 95% CI, 2.03–2.64) but were also present for cocaine, cannabis, opioids, and other substances. Substance use during pregnancy was more strongly associated with dental caries hospitalization than prepregnancy substance use. Associations were stronger in early childhood. Maternal substance use is associated with the future risk of dental caries hospitalization in children. Targeting substance use early in the lives of women may contribute to dental caries prevention in offspring.

Prevention of childhood caries is an ongoing public health challenge, but the possibility of an association with maternal mental disorders has received limited attention. We estimated the extent to which maternal mental disorders are associated with an increased risk of hospitalization due to dental caries. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of 790,758 infants born in Quebec, Canada between 2006 and 2016, with follow-up extending to 2018. We identified women with mental disorders before or during pregnancy and computed the incidence of dental caries in their children. We estimated HR and 95% CI for the association of maternal mental disorders with the risk of dental caries, adjusted for personal characteristics. Infants of women with mental disorders before or during pregnancy had a higher incidence of dental caries compared to children of women with no mental disorder (56.1 vs. 27.2 per 10,000 person-years). Maternal stress and anxiety disorders (HR = 1.73; 95% CI 1.60–1.86), depression (HR = 1.81; 95% CI 1.60–2.03), schizophrenia and delusional disorders (HR = 1.69; 95% CI 1.29–2.22), and personality disorders (HR = 1.89; 95% CI 1.70–2.11) were associated with the risk of dental caries. The associations were present throughout childhood, including after 7 years (HR = 1.65; 95% CI 1.38–1.96). Maternal mental disorders were associated with caries of the enamel, dentin, and cementum and caries that reached the dental pulp. Maternal mental disorders before or during pregnancy, especially stress and anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and personality disorders, are associated with the risk of childhood caries. Women with a history of mental disorders may benefit from enhanced strategies for prevention of dental caries in their children.

Aim. The aim of the present paper was to evaluate the genotypic diversity ofS. mutansin caries-free and caries-active preschool children in Brazil.Design. Twenty-eight preschool children were examined regarding caries experience by the dmft index. DNA from 280 isolates ofS. mutanswas extracted.S. mutansevaluated using to the PCR method, with primers for the glucosyltransferase gene. The genetic diversity ofS. mutansisolates was analyzed by arbitrary primed-PCR (AP-PCR) reactions. The differences between the diversity genotypic and dmft/caries experience were evaluated by test and Spearman's correlation.Results. The Spearman correlation test showed a strong association between genotypic diversity and caries experience (; ). There were moreS. mutansgenotypes in the group of preschool children with dental caries, compared with the caries-free group. Among the children with more than 1 genotype, 13 had dental caries (2 to 5 genotypes) and 4 were caries-free (only 2 genotypes).Conclusion. Our results support the previous findings of genetic diversity ofS. mutansin preschool children being associated with dental caries. The investigation of such populations may be important for directing the development of programs for caries prevention worldwide.

The article discusses the results of the study of etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lesions of dental hard tissues, caries and their complications. The experimental study was carried out at the Department of Dentistry of the Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin, Tambov, for the period from 2019 to 2021 based on the data obtained in the course of dental research of etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lesions of dental hard tissues, caries and their complications. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that its theoretical provisions and the empirical results obtained can be used by dentists for further research in this area of dentistry. The relevance of the study of etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lesions of dental hard tissues, caries and their complications is beyond doubt in modern society. Thus, many aspects of the study of dentistry have found their place in the ontological field of dental problematic, revealing particular and special studies of etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lesions of dental hard tissues, caries and their complications. It can be concluded that the study of etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lesions of dental hard tissues, caries and their complications fell out of sight of researchers for a long time.

Caries risk is defined as the dental caries probability under the individual bacteriological environment, dietary habits, and environmental factors. Assessment of caries risk plays a major role in the prevention of dental caries. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two different caries risk assessment methods on caries-free preschool children. A sample of 90 caries-free 4- to 6-year-old children were selected from 400 preschool children. The selection was limited to children who had no dental caries, visible plaque, and systemic disease. American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s Caries Risk Assessment Tool (CAT) and Clinpro Cario L-Pop (CCLP; 3M ESPE, Germany) were used to categorize children into caries risk groups. Children were classified as being in high-, medium-, or low-risk groups by two methods. Determining risk factors according to CAT were examined. The compliance among the two methods was evaluated. Sixty-eight children were reevaluated intraorally after 3 years. The compliance between CAT and CCLP was sought using Kappa test. Statistical evaluation revealed moderate compliance among methods at baseline. The three most determinant factors in the high-risk group according to CAT were no topical fluoride exposure, no use of dental services, and active caries in mother. CAT is found statistically more successful than CCLP in predicting caries risk 3 years later. Caries risk assessment is effective to predict future caries and can be helpful for the clinician to choose the right tailor-made caries prevention plans.

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

Background The Isle of Islay has a remote-rural population. Two dentists have been responsible for the care of the majority of the school-age children for 15 years. The island affords a unique situation to measure caries prevalence in a relatively static population. Aim This study measures the changes in the dental caries experience of five and 12-year olds exposed to a preventive-based approach to improving dental health, which included a school-based tooth-brushing programme (four to 12-year-olds). Design Data from practice-based records were collected for children aged five and 12 in the years 1999–2003 and 2012–2014. Indices including percentage of children with no obvious caries, decayed, missing or filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) and care indexes were calculated, translated into graphs and compared to Scotland's National Dental Inspection Programme (NDIP) data. Results 478 children were included in the study. The mean number in each year group for five-year-olds was 28 (SD±5.65) and for 12-year-olds was 31.75 (SD±8.30). The percentage of children caries-free increased from 39% to 85% (five-year-olds) and 31% to 97% (12-year-olds). DMFT decreased from 3.04 to 0.30 (five-year-olds) and 3.74 to 0.03 (12-year-olds). Figures for care index and percentage of first permanent molars fissure sealed were higher than national data averages. Conclusion Caries prevalence decreased in children in Islay aged five and 12 years over the period 1999–2014. There was no control group but the differences described above can be associated with the introduction of a preventive approach, however they cannot be assumed to be causative.

Abstract Aim: This study was done to evaluate correlation of Dental Caries status with frequency of tooth brushing, type of toothpaste and regular dental visits in children. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out randomly on 2500 school children of two age groups viz. 12 and 15 years, and caries examination was done using WHO (World Health organization) 1997 criteria in order to correlate with various risk factors viz. brushing frequency, use of fluoridated/non-fluoridated toothpaste and frequency of child's visit to dental clinic. Results: In both the age groups brushing frequency and type of toothpaste used insignificantly affected caries while evidence that frequency of child's visit to dental clinic reduces caries risk was also not substantial. Conclusion: The present study implicates that due to complex multifactorial nature of dental caries, its prevention still remains an enigma for the dental professional and society.

Background: Dental caries is commonly seen among school children. The World Health Organization has stated it to be one of the leading non-communicable diseases. Objective of study the prevalence of dental caries among school children and to study the oral hygiene practices in the occurrence of dental caries.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 307 school children aged 10-15 years. Each child was asked about the dental hygiene practices and was examined for the presence of caries.Results: The prevalence of dental caries among school children was found to be 48.9 % with the 95% CI of 43.3% - 54.4%. The prevalence of dental caries was high among children 10-12 years of age 95(53.6%) compared to 55 (42.3%) among children in the age group of 13-15 years (p=0.05). Daily sweet consumption was significantly associated with a higher prevalence 40 (63.5%) of dental caries (p=0.01). Children not consuming vegetables and fruits everyday had a higher prevalence 76.5% dental caries (p = 0.03). Children who are not practicing night brushing had a higher prevalence of 112 (52.8%) of caries (p=0.04). The study showed that only 17.3% of the children visited a dental health care service.Conclusion: Authors found the prevalence of dental caries to be high. Health education regarding the importance of good oral hygiene practices such as night brushing, diet modification and periodic dental visits to all the school children will play a major role in the prevention of dental caries.

Кариес является одной из актуальной проблем современной стоматологии и занимает первое место по частоте и интенсивности среди всех стоматологических заболеваний. Установлено, что поражение зубов кариесом - это заключительный этап взаимодействия многих эндогенных и экзогенных факторов, индивидуальных для каждого пациента. Большинство научно-исследовательских работ по изучению причин возникновения кариеса зубов доказывают, что непосредственным этиологическим фактором является локальное изменение pH под биопленкой, фиксированной на поверхности зуба, вследствие расщепления углеводов микроорганизмами и образования органических кислот. Следует упомянуть, что трилистник Кейза служит графической моделью теории возникновения кариеса в современной стоматологии, в которой равноценны три состояния, а именно кариесогенная флора, легкоферментируемые углеводы, низкая кариесрезистентность эмали. Последнюю в свою очередь определяют микротвердость, кислотоустойчивость и проницаемость. В понимании комплексной заботы о здоровье человека, и прежде всего детей, на первый план выступает превентивная точка зрения. Учитывая результаты «поперечного» эпидемиологического исследования на распространенность и интенсивность кариеса зубов у детского населения, прямое и непосредственное влияние оказывают, во-первых, экологические факторы, например, низкое содержание фторида в питьевой воде, загрязнение окружающей среды, неблагоприятные климатические условия. Во-вторых, социально-экономические, такие как ограниченная доступность стоматологической помощи, низкий уровень жизни и образования, характер питания, недостаточная заинтересованность в вопросах сохранения здоровья полости рта. Низкий уровень мотивации, санитарно-гигиенических знаний детского населения к сохранению стоматологического здоровья является фактором высокого риска развития патологического процесса твердых тканей, молочных и постоянных зубов детей. Резюмируя вышеизложенное, считается актуальным систематизация факторов риска возникновения кариеса для современного стоматологического просвещения детского населения, родителей и педагогов с упором на этиопатогенез Caries is one of the most urgent problems of modern dentistry and ranks first in frequency and intensity among all dental diseases. It is established that dental caries is the final stage of interaction of many endogenous and exogenous factors, individual for each patient. Most research studies on the causes of dental caries prove that the direct etiological factor is a local change in pH under the biofilm fixed on the tooth surface, due to the breakdown of carbohydrates by microorganisms and the formation of organic acids. It should be mentioned that the case trefoil serves as a graphic model of the theory of caries occurrence in modern dentistry, in which three conditions are equivalent, namely cariesogenic flora, easily fermentable carbohydrates, and low caries resistance of enamel. The latter, in turn, is determined by microhardness, acid resistance, and permeability. In the understanding of comprehensive care for human health, and especially for children, the preventive point of view comes to the fore. Taking into account the results of the "cross-section" epidemiological study, the prevalence and intensity of dental caries in the child population are directly and directly influenced, first, by environmental factors, such as low fluoride content in drinking water, environmental pollution, and unfavorable climatic conditions. Second, socio-economic factors, such as limited access to dental care, low standard of living and education, nutritional status, and lack of interest in maintaining oral health. The low level of motivation, sanitary and hygienic knowledge of the children's population to maintain dental health is a high risk factor for the development of the pathological process of hard tissues and milk, and permanent teeth of children. Summarizing the above, it is considered relevant to systematize the risk factors of caries for modern dental education of children's population, parents and teachers with an emphasis on etiopathogenesis

Relevance. Underestimating the importance of economic analysis is the barrier to the implementation of cariesprevention programs.The aim is to study with use of mathematic modeling method the clinical and economic effectiveness of dental caries prevention programs provided for schoolchildren.Materials and methods. The method of mathematic modeling was used to evaluate the clinical and economic efficiency of the caries prevention programs (educational, fissure sealing, fluoride varnish). The cost of prevention program implementation and the expenses for caries treatment without prevention were calculated according to the rate of Volgograd territorial mandatory medical insurance Fund for 2018 year. The differences between the caries prevention program’s cost and the expenses needed for the treatment of “prevented caries” were considered as saving.Results. It was revealed that the Educational Dental Program for the first grade schoolchildren has short duration (2 years) of clinical-economic efficiency. The Continuous Educational Dental Program applied for 6 years by dental hygienists or dentists led to saving (per 100 children) of 99.5-115.0 or 84.0-99.6 thousand roubles respectively. The economic effect of The First Permanent Molar Fissure Sealing Program was revealed after 2 years only when The Program was implemented by dental hygienists. After 6 years of working with this Program the saving were 181.3 or 146.2 thousand roubles per 100 children depending on who implemented the Program, dental hygienists or dentists. The cost of Fluoride Varnish Program implementation was higher than the treatment of “prevented caries”. However, the number of “prevented caries” after fluoride varnish application is higher than after the implementation of the Educational Dental Programs. Moreover, fluoride varnish, in contrast to fissure sealing, prevents caries of smooth surfaces of permanent teeth. Conclusions. The method of mathematic modeling can be used for the development of the caries prevention programs in various regions considering the availability of personnel and financial resources, and for evaluation of the clinical and economic effectiveness of preventive programs implementation.

Objective: to investigate the association between caries incidence in children and the number of clinical preventive visits and follow-up period (intervals). Study Design: a 30-year cohort composed of the dental records of 600 children who were 12–23 months old at their first dental appointment and who were followed up to 12 years of age (200 followed since 1981, Group 1; 200 followed since 1991, Group 2; and 200 followed since 2001, Group 3) was analytically and quantitatively evaluated. Random sample calculation was performed with 95% confidence, a maximum error of 2.95% and a ratio of 50%. Results: association was found between caries incidence and the number of dental visits and consultation intervals. Children who attended a smaller number of preventive visits had a higher incidence of the disease. Children who had an interval between returns greater than 12 months had an 18.7-times greater caries risk compared to children who had intervals no longer than 8 months between return visits. Conclusions: preventive consultations with an average interval of up to 8 months seemed to increase family adherence to preventive procedures and acted as a protective factor against caries incidence in children.

Background: Dental caries is a chronic dental disorder of children and it can result in substantial morbidity due to pain, dysfunction, poor appearance, and problems of speech development. The study was conducted to assess the association between passive smoking and pediatric dental caries.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted among 92 school children aged 5-10 years. Data on exposure to passive smoking at both indoor and outdoor were obtained through face to face interview of the parents with the help of semi-structured questionnaire and checklist. Dental caries was diagnosed by clinical examination and passive smoking exposure was assessed by estimated urinary cotinine level.
Results: The study revealed that 58.70% children were male and 41% were female respectively. The mean age of the children was 7.20 years. It was found that 59.8% father of the studied children were smoker where 68.5% children reported that some of their family members were indoor smokers. Of all the children, 62% had dental caries and 85.5% of the children had dental caries who were exposed to passive smoking and had significant association between exposure to passive smoking and dental caries (p<0.001). Dental caries was common among children aged 5-6years who were exposed to passive smok ing. The mean urinary cotinine level was 27.81 ng/ml and maximum children (65.2%) had urinary cotinine level more than 10ng/ml who was exposed to passive smoking. The study found significant positive correlation between urinary cotinine concentrations and the duration of exposure to passive smoking (i=0.692, p<0.001).
Conclusion: This study suggests reduction of exposure to passive smoking may be an effective measure for prevention of pediatric dental caries.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of caries in South Vietnamese children with a known oral cleft. Setting The children were screened at local dental hospitals in five different cities in southern Vietnam. Participants One hundred fifty-four children aged 4 to 6, 11 to 13, and 14 to 16 years old with a cleft lip, cleft palate, or both were included in the study. Outcome Measurements For every age group, clefts were divided in four types. The dmft/DMFT was specified according to criteria of the World Health Organization (1997). Results The mean number of teeth affected by caries was 9.95 for 4- to 6-year-old children, 2.97 for 11- to 13-year-old children, and 4.93 for 14- to 16-year-old children, respectively. Four- to 6-year-old children with a unilateral or bilateral cleft lip and palate had significantly more caries and a higher dmft (decayed, missing, and filled teeth index) than children of the same age with only a cleft lip or a cleft lip and alveolus. Conclusions Vietnamese children with an oral cleft have high numbers of teeth affected by dental caries, and special attention will be necessary for their oral health.

Prevention of caries of the first permanent molars is one of the most relevant problems in pediatricdentistry.Purpose – to develop an algorithm for prevention of first permanent molars caries in children with differentlevels of caries risk.Materials and methods. The article presents the results of the implementation of the algorithm for prevention of first permanent molars caries in children with different levels of caries risk. This algorithm includes a comprehensive assessment of the values of indices dmft, DMFT, OHI-S, and the patient's health group is also taken into account. The study involved 253 children aged 6-7 years divided into 4 groups: 3 groups of children depending on the health group and the control group. 3 subgroups were identified in each group – with a low, medium, and high caries risk. We developed preventive measures schemes were for children of each group including training in oral hygiene; controlled and home toothbrushing using fluoride-containing toothpastes; applications of varnishes containing fluoride, calcium, phosphates from 2 to 3 times a year; fissure sealing of the first permanent molars. We carried out these activities were for 24 months, and then evaluated theirs effectiveness. Children in the control group were trained in oral hygiene. The clinical effectiveness of medical prophylaxis was evaluated by changes in the above clinical indicators.Results. In group of children with medium caries risk the increase in caries was 0.09, and the reduction in caries was 89.65%. In children with a low and high caries risk no increase in caries was observed; the reduction in the intensity of caries was 100%. A significant decrease in OHI-S oral hygiene index values was noted in all groups (p < 0.05). We noted high preventive efficacy of fissures sealing in the first permanent molars. No occlusal surface caries developed in sealed fissures.Conclusions. The application of the proposed preventive schemes in patients demonstrates high efficacy of fluoride and calcium-containing varnishes and sealing the fissures of the first permanent molars.

Background: Dental caries are the most prominent chronic disease of children and adults worldwide, and facilitating evidence-based, preventative care for their prevention is critical. Caries are traditionally and successfully prevented by regular fluoride use, but there are opportunities to halt and restore caries with alternative agents in addition to fluoride use. Grape seed extract (GSE) is a readily available plant-based supplement that, due to its concentrated levels of proanthocyanidins, has promising characteristics that may assist in dental caries prevention. Aim: The goal of this review was to investigate whether current research supports use of grape seed extract to prevent dental caries formation. Methods: A systematic review of articles related to grape seed extract, prevention of dental caries, inhibition of Streptococcus mutans, and remineralization was conducted. Articles were first chosen by inclusion of dental models that used grape seed extract as an intervention, and then by strength of study design. Results: Twenty articles were reviewed. Studies overall supported three unique grape seed extract properties facilitating dental caries prevention. In the first articles reviewed, grape seed extract inhibited proliferation of bacterial biofilms on tooth surfaces. In addition, studies reviewed indicated that grape seed extract promoted dental remineralization. Conclusions: Caries prevention by grape seed extract may be unique compared with fluoride, and is linked to grape seed extract’s bacteriostatic and collagen crosslinking properties. Future research should investigate potential delivery methods, and benefits of combined grape seed extract use with known caries preventative agents, in human participants.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of national dental screening for children in Korea in the aspects of prevention of dental caries, the number of treatments related to dental caries, and cost of dental care.The study used the national cohort data on children health screening provided by National Health Insurance Service, and analyzed 32,937 1st dental screening, 22,608 2nd dental screening, 13,708 3rd dental screening, and 241,043 cases from the dental care of 27,944 children born in year 2008 and 2009. The decayed-filled teeth index and decayed-filled person rate, calculated from the results of the 2nd and 3rd dental screening, decreased as the number of preceding dental screening increased. Glass ionomer and amalgam restoration, pulp treatment of primary teeth and extraction of primary canine and molar were shown to decrease as the number of examined dental screening increased, and the total cost of dental care covered by national health insurance also decreased as the number of dental screening increased.In conclusion, national dental screening for children is an efficient and economical oral health care method that prevents dental caries and lowers the possibility of dental caries related treatment, thereby reducing cost of dental care.

Background: Dental caries can develop early in life and have harmful consequences. Objective: To examine non-dental practitioners' knowledge of early childhood caries (ECC). Methods: A questionnaire on oral health and caries knowledge was emailed to five types of health professional who work with young children: paediatricians, GPs, midwives, paediatric nurses and paediatric healthcare assistants. Questions concerned: when a child should first visit a dentist; at what age toothbrushing should start; aetiopathogenic factors; early diagnosis; and the effect of breastfeeding. Results: 494 health professionals (79 paediatricians, 59 physicians, 217 midwives, 92 paediatric nurses and 47 paediatric healthcare assistants) participated. Although most (89.86%) discussed oral health with parents, responses on when a child should first see a dentist and when toothbrushing should start varied. Almost half of respondents said they could diagnose caries but not all were confident in this. Aetiological factors in ECC mentioned included oral hygiene, bottle feeding, sugar intake, genetics and a lack of fluoride. Conclusion: Non-dental practitioners lack knowledge about ECC, so cannot help prevent it. Initiatives including interprofessional training would improve their knowledge of oral health in early childhood.

Aim. To study the medical and economic efficiency of the program for the prevention of dental caries using UltraSeal XT among schoolchildren of Kazan.
Methods. In 2013, 200 schoolchildren from Kazan seen in the Republican Dental Clinic of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan (100 boys and girls aged 78) were selected. All patients were divided into two groups with similar distributions of sex and age: the test (main) group and control group. In the test group Sealants, the fissures of the first permanent molars were sealed with a composite fluorine-containing sealant according to the manufacturer's instructions. The control group was formed from children without dental sealants. The oral health assessment of children is reflected in the Examination Cards. Average indices of the severity of dental caries were determined (the number of decayed, filled and missing primary/permanent teeth dmft/DMFT). Re-examination of children was carried out in 2016 with the determination of the same indicators. The economic analysis was carried out using the method of mathematical modeling. Statistical processing was performed in Microsoft Office Excel 2017.
Results. The use of sealants at the age of 78 years provided a lower level of caries severity in deciduous teeth (4.093.0; p 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the DMFT score of permanent teeth in children aged 78 years in the test group and the dmft score of deciduous teeth of children in the control group (p 0.05). The DMFT score in the permanent teeth of children in the test group of this age cohort (78 years old) was 0.660.95. The mean severity of dental caries DMFT index of 12-year-olds children with permanent dentition in the test group was 0.771.07, which is 1.52 more healthy teeth than in the control group DMFT score 2.291.59 (t=4.01; p 0.01). The medical and economic efficiency of the fluoride prevention of dental caries in 12-year-olds schoolchildren through the use of a composite fluorine-containing sealant is expressed in the eradication of caries (less than 1 affected tooth according to the World Health Organization classification) and amounts to 437.38 rubles of notional saved costs per child for sealing versus dental treatment.
Conclusion. The use of a fluoride composite material reduces the severity of dental caries in children and the notional saved costs for sealing teeth.

Subject. The dental health of children with disabilities is the subject of close scrutiny by dentists. Data on the prevalence and intensity of dental pathology make it possible to develop effective personalized programs for the prevention of dental diseases taking into account somatic pathology. The introduction of personalized prevention programs contributes to the reduction of dental morbidity and the formation of a healthy lifestyle in children with disabilities.
The goal is to determine the hallmarks of the state of hard tissues of teeth in children with sensory deprivation of vision and conditionally healthy children.
Methodology. A clinical dental examination of 365 children aged 5―18 years living in the city of Krasnoyarsk was conducted. The main (study group) was 185 children with sensory deprivation of vision, the comparison group ― 180 conditionally healthy children. We studied the prevalence of dental caries, including taking into account the degree of activity of its course, and its intensity (CP, CP + CPU, CPU).
Results. The prevalence rate of dental caries was at a fairly high level: in the comparison group ― 75.55 %, in the study group ― 82.70. In children with sensory deprivation of vision (in the study group), subcompensated and decompensated forms of the degree of activity of dental caries were observed. In the comparison group (in conditionally healthy children), the course of the carious process was evaluated as compensated. The most unfavorable situation regarding the degree of activity of dental caries in children with sensory deprivation of vision was observed at the age of 12 to 18 years.
Findings. In children 5―18 years old with sensory deprivation of vision, the high prevalence and intensity of dental caries are combined with an insufficient level of dental care compared with a group of conditionally healthy children of this age period.

Full textAbstract:
Modern domestic preventive dentistry has success in the theory of the origin and development of major dental diseases, practice of treatment, including dental caries, and uses these results to prevent children’s diseases in the country.
However, the desired effectiveness of preventive measures have not been achieved primarily among the population and individual level, taking into account some specific characteristics of residence region, etiology and pathogenesis of the demineralization phenomena of hard dental tissues in different periods of child’s development.
Adverse environmental conditions and technogenic character are not taken into account, when air, soil and groundwater are oversaturated with environmental contaminants and toxicants. They cause fatal breakage in biochemical reactions and metabolic processes in childhood and at a young age, when defective dental health brings a lot of problems in the adult period of life, and, as a result, reduces the life.
Investigation of dental health had been conducted in 251 preschool age children (first age group consisted of 3-4 years-old, II group consisted of 5-6 – years-old with 123 and 128 people respectively). In addition, all the observed children were divided into two groups depending on the use of prophylactic anti-caries interventions: the basic group was in compliance with the "Program- maximum" and control the "Program- minimum".
Approximately 60 members were in the monitoring teams of different age groups. The "Program-minimum" included measures of general health, balanced diet with the significant restriction of carbohydrate and perform twice a day hygiene actions in the oral cavity.
The “Program – maximum” also included the ingestion of calcium citrate and amino acids with SH-group of methionine.
Such treatment and prophylactic complex has the adaptive, antioxidant, antidote and immune resolving action. It makes sense for neutralization of eco toxicants – heavy metals in the area of children’s residence. It was found that level of Fe and Zn was in the threatening degree of content, and Cd is moderate in the living environment of the examined children. It provokes and enhances the glycolytic processes in the oral cavity.
Harmful effect of toxicants in the oral cavity, and also in a children's organism as a whole, was clearly fixed in the mineralization of the skeleton flat bones of children. It was revealed with densitometry of the calcaneus that 53 individuals had indicators, particularly BUA. They indicated the weakening of the skeleton mineralization. It indirectly pointed to problems in the hard tissues of the teeth. However, the use of treatment and prophylactic complex improved the bone structures density. The level of calcium and phosphate in the oral fluid of the observed individuals had recovered to optimal after three years of use of treatment and prophylactic complex, contributed to effective secondary mineralization both in temporary and in permanent teeth. Thus, the use of treatment and prophylactic complex in people of the basic group allowed quite convincingly and positively to impact on the incidence of caries of deciduous and permanent teeth. The rate of growth of dental caries intensity after three years of preventive interventions in the basic group was three times less than in the control group. At the same time, the caries preventive efficacy was 59-62%, and this is a very positive indicator.
These results are evidence of proven necessity of prophylactic of dental health correction in children years of those people who reside in areas with a very complex technogenic environment due to metallurgical plants located in the Prydniprovsk region.

The intensity and prevalence of dental caries in 630 school age children of the Chui region of the Kyrgyz Republic was studied. The prevalence of caries among school age children was 89%. According to experts, this indicator is estimated as a high incidence of caries. Cluster analysis revealed a high risk of caries of children from 7 to 10 years old, which should be used for prophylactic medical examination of children, when planning preventive and therapeutic measures. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop and implement a comprehensive program for the prevention of major dental diseases in children in this region.
