Dental caries affects temporary and permanent teeth, in some cases in a short time after their eruption. Statistical data show that dental caries affecting 71.2-97.1% of the population worldwide new methods for its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Epidemiological studies show that in children with recently erupted teeth, predominates caries of the occlusal. The high prevalence of caries necessitates the study and continuous development of surfaces of the molars. For these reasons, the condition of dental fissures, in terms of the presence of dental plaque or bacterial plaque, is a risk factor for the development of dental caries. Fissure sealing is included by WHO as one of the 4 methods for preventing dental caries.

BACKGROUND: The main objective of conservative dentistry is maintaining the health of the dentition and restored teeth free from dental caries. The prevention of dental caries can be achieved by personal prevention programs at home, dental health care professional, and public health application programs. Based on knowledge related to the etiology and pathogenesis of dental caries, this provides a chance for application of effective prevention program for the prevention of dental caries. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different preventive regimens using different toothpastes on caries risk using cariogram and decayed, missing, and filled (DMF) scores of high caries risk patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted on 66 participants with high caries risk. Participants were divided into three groups, 22 participant each. According to the test regimen, where (A1) participants were exposed to a regimen including dual zinc plus arginine-based toothpaste (Colgate total), (A2) participants were exposed to a regimen including zinc-based toothpaste (Crest complete), and (A3) control group was participants that were exposed to a regimen including fluoride-based toothpaste (Signal). The study was carried for 1 year, assessment of cariogram and DMF scores was done in four intervals: T0: baseline, T3: after 3 months, T6: after 6 months, and T12: after 12 months. RESULTS: According to cariogram, there was a statistically significant difference between Groups A1, A2, and A3, where p < 0.001. However, DMF scores of all groups showed no statistically significant difference between the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: Dual zinc plus arginine-based toothpaste is a superior caries preventive regimen in high caries risk patients. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The benefits of preventive regimen to the practitioner will be providing a non-invasive, and cost-efficient method to prevent dental caries. Benefits to the patient will be an improvement of oral hygiene, prevention of dental caries, and maintain healthy dental supporting structures.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Professionally topical fluoride such as fluoride varnish was approved for preventing and remineralizing dental caries in primary and permanent dentitions. As such, fluoride varnish occupies a privileged place since it is the only topical fluoride for professional use applicable for children under 6 years of age, due to its simplicity, speed, rapidity and safety of use. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of professional fluoride varnish in preventing and managing dental caries in primary teeth. Method: A systematic search of publications from 2013 to 2020 was conducted using 3 databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The key words used were “fluoride varnish, children, prevention, remineralization and early childhood caries”. Reviews, non-English articles, and irrelevant studies were excluded. Results: in this article, a total of 08 reports were retained: 4 systematic reviews and 4 trials were included in this review. Three reports investigated the preventive effect on primary teeth using fluoride varnish: 2 comparing fluoride varnish with no treatment and 1 comparing fluoride varnish with standard health program. Two trials investigated the managing effect of dental caries on primary teeth comparing fluoride varnish with standard health program. 1 review reported an arresting effect on dentine caries using silver diamine fluoride. 4 Meta-analysis were performed using 5% Sodium fluoride varnish, to prevent and manage caries, and the preventive fraction ranged from 23% to 70%; highest percentage of 69.9% preventive fraction was observed. Conclusion: The effectiveness of fluoride varnish for the prevention of dental caries was proved, however it depended on the individual caries risk, the area of living of the child and if it is used in complement with a standard health program. On the other hand, the effectiveness of fluoride varnish for the management of dental caries depended on the localization of dental caries.

Full textAbstract:
The prevalence of oral diseases is increasing and is becoming a major concern in the society. Treatment without prevention is simply unsustainable. One such preventable disease is dental caries. Several strategies for caries prevention have been developed over the years. Bacteriotherapy is one potential method. With better understanding on the importance of a well balanced oral microbial environment for maintaining good dental health, probiotics has gained great momentum in dentistry. The World Health Organization along with the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations defined probiotics as “Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”. Several probiotic strains have been identified for caries prevention through various experimental studies. However, identifying the right vehicle for administration of probiotics on everyday basis is the need of the hour. Toothpastes, mouthrinses, powders, tablets, lozenges, chewing gums are some probiotic vehicles that have been studied. This paper would throw light on the microbial strains, mechanism of action, forms and future for probiotics in caries prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Little is known about dental practice patterns of caries prevention in adults among Brazilian dentists. Aim: To quantify procedures used for caries prevention for adult patients among dentists from a Brazilian community. Methods: Dentists (n=197) who reported that at least 10% of their patients are more than 18 years old participated in the first Brazilian study that used a translated version of the “Assessment of Caries Diagnosis and Caries Treatment” from the U.S. National Dental Practice-Based Research Network. A questionnaire about characteristics of their practice and patient population were also completed by the dentists. Generalized linear regression models and a hierarchal clustering procedure were used (p<0.05). Results: In-office fluoride application was the preventive method most often reported. The main predictors for recommending some preventive agent were: female dentist (dental sealant; in-office fluoride; non-prescription fluoride) and percentage of patients interested in caries prevention (dental sealant; in-office fluoride; non-prescription fluoride). Other predictors included private practice (dental sealant), percentage of patients 65 years or older (in-office fluoride), graduation from a private dental school (non-prescription fluoride), years since dental school graduation (chlorhexidine rinse) and using a preventive method (recommending sealant/fluoride/chlorhexidine rinse/sugarless, xylitol gum). Cluster analysis showed that dentists in the largest subgroup seldom used any of the preventive agents. Conclusion: Dentists most often reported in-office fluoride as a method for caries prevention in adults. Some practitioner, practice and patients’ characteristics were positively associated with more-frequent use of a preventive agent.

Dental Caries can affect attendance, scholastic performance (lack of attention due to pain) and nutritional status. Children suffering from toothache or dental problems avoid or change their regular eating patterns. In neglected oral hygiene along with dental caries, periodontal diseases are seen. Periodontitis from the upper jaw may transmit the infection to the brain. Fluoride plays an important role in the prevention of dental caries, but it also causes fluorosis in excess amounts. Fluorosis aggravates dental carries. It is imperative to diagnose these problems at their early stage to prevent complications & to restore them in case it’s a permanent teeth. Objectives of the study • Assess the existing knowledge of school children regarding dental caries. • To examine by visualization of the oral cavity for the presence of dental caries. • To associate the presence of dental caries with demographic data of children. • To determine the remedial/treatment needs. • To prepare the information booklet on preventive measures and remedial measures as well. Methods: The research design of the study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The population was school children of age 6-12 years. The study originated with a sample of 150 children from selected schools in Tumkur. The sample of an equal proportion of children was scientifically drawn at random by using a random number table from each age group. Results: The present study shows that the mean knowledge among school children was 44.1%. This study revealed that schoolchildren were having very less knowledge regarding dental caries. Knowledge of prevention was 39.5%. This shows that school children were having very less knowledge regarding the prevention of dental caries. The prevalence of dental caries was 61.3% and this is the proportion referred for treatment needs among school children. The study found a significant association between knowledge of dental caries with the age of the children (χ2 =24.64, df=2), the mother’s education (χ2 =19.87, df=1) father’s education (χ2 =4.62, df=1), Mother’s occupation (χ2 =8.06, df=1), father’s occupation (χ2 =6.04, df=1) and several children (χ2 =17.72, df=1) are resulted as significant at 5% level. The proportion of treatment needs identified among the school children was 83.7% for teeth restoration, 13.0% for tooth extraction, and 3.3% for special treatments. Conclusion: The above findings depict that school children were having an inadequate level of knowledge on the prevention of dental caries. Based on the findings, an information guide sheet was developed to create awareness among school children.

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.

Full textAbstract:
Dental caries has been recognised as a major public health problem globally which has an equivalent effect on all age groups. Caries predominantly affects the occlusal surfaces of erupting molars and premolars and thus accounts for nearly 80-90% of pit and fissure caries in permanent teeth. Apart from regular measures for management of dental caries preventive measures involving sealing of the cavitated and non cavitated pits and fissures can be promising tool for cost effective caries prevention. Conservative Adhesive restorations (CAR) have proven to be one such effective means in prevention and treatment of pit and fissure caries. This article reviews complete application technique of CAR along with its indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages. Also, literature-based review of the success rate has been reported. An insight of its application in children and advancements that can help in further improving the efficacy have also been reviewed. From this review and after discussion of recently published studies, it is evident that prophylactic techniques like CAR can be both preventive as well as therapeutic measure for preventing progression of incipient caries.

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.

Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease indicated by the progressive demineralisation process of dental tissue. It is caused by an imbalance between the remineralisation and demineralisation processes. The focus of caries management is on prevention. Providing materials that can induce remineralisation is one management of caries prevention. Various materials have been or are being researched, such as casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP–ACP), tricalcium phosphate (fTCP), bioactive glass (BAG), and nanotechnologies such as nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAP) and silver nano fluorine (NSF). Purpose: This study aims to review the development of enamel remineralisation inducing materials as a newer approach in caries prevention. Review: Various ingredients have been shown to increase enamel remineralisation through different mechanisms in preventing the development of carious lesions. Conclusion: CPP–ACP, fTCP, BAG, n-HAP, and NSF can induce enamel remineralisation as caries prevention agents. n-HAP and NSF are the most effective agents to enhance enamel remineralisation to prevent caries.

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.

An oral infectious disease, dental caries, is caused by the cariogenic streptococci Streptococcus mutans. The expected preventive efficiency for prophylactics against dental caries is not yet completely observed. Nisin, a bacteriocin, has been demonstrated to be microbicidal against S. mutans, and liposome-encapsulated nisin improves preventive features that may be exploited for human oral health. Here we examined the bactericidal effect of charged lipids on nisin-loaded liposomes against S. mutans and inhibitory efficiency for insoluble glucan synthesis by the streptococci for prevention of dental caries. Cationic liposome, nisin-loaded dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine/phytosphingosine, exhibited higher bactericidal activities than those of electroneutral liposome and anionic liposome. Bactericidal efficiency of the cationic liposome revealed that the vesicles exhibited sustained inhibition of glucan synthesis and the lowest rate of release of nisin from the vesicles. The optimizing ability of cationic liposome-encapsulated nisin that exploit the sustained preventive features of an anti-streptococcal strategy may improve prevention of dental caries.

Full textAbstract:
The prevalence of dental caries is high in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus and it is about 81.1-100%, however 57.1% are diagnosed with multiple dental caries. The effectiveness of caries prevention is only 48.3%. In the prevention of dental caries has significant role to exogenous methods of prevention with fluorides, but fluoride compounds adversely affect the condition of patients with diabetes mellitus. It’s advisable to use in patients with caries preventive measures containing nanohydroxyapatite and xylitol.
The purpose is to conduct a research of optimized approach to local prevention of dental caries in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus by the fluoride-free agents, taking into account the degree of risk of dental caries in patients and the state of diabetes compensation.
Materials and methods. The review of 95 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in the state of compensation, subcompensation and decompensation was from 18 to 35 years and disease duration was from 1 to 24 years. The main group included 50 people, the comparison group was 45 people. The index of caries intensity DMF, structure functional indices of enamel acid resistance (TER) were determined in patients. Also the increase in the intensity of dental caries after 6 and 12 months, reducing the increase in caries after 12 months were defined.The patients of the main group, according to individualized approaches, taking into account the degree of risk of dental caries and the state of compensation of diabetes mellitus were subjected to local caries preventive measures, which included the use of fluoride-free products containing nanohydroxyapatite and xylitol, and means of enzymes lactoperoxidase system, patients of the comparison group - traditional local fluoroprophylaxis.
Results and discussion. In patients of the main group after 6 months of caries-preventive measures of structure functional indices of enamel acid resistance was 3.52±0.19 points, 12 months – 3.14±0.16 points, the index improved to 1.7 times (p<0,05), compared to baseline (5.26±0,27 points). In the comparison group of patients, after 6 months, enamel acid resistance was 4.09±0.21 points, after 12 months - 3.86±0.18 points, which is only 1.3 times better (p<0.05) than the baseline index (5.02±0.25 points). Before the start of caries preventive measures, the caries intensity index DMF in patients of the main group was 13.7±0.84, after 6 months it increased to 13.8±0.86, the increase in the intensity of caries was 0.1. In the patients of the comparison group, the corresponding indexes of DMF were 12.3±0.85 and 12.6±0.91, increase the intensity of caries was 0.3 and was higher by 3 times. After 12 months, patients in the main group DMF index slightly increased to 14.0±0.87, increase the intensity of caries was 0.3. In the comparison group DMF index value was 13.1±0.93, increase the intensity was significantly higher (2.7 times) and it was 0.8. Reduction of increase the intensity of dental caries was 62.5%.
Conclusion. Topical application in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus of caries prophylactic agents containing nanohydroxyapatite and xylitol, as well as agents with enzymes of the lactoperoxidase system for 12 months on individualized approaches taking into account the degree of risk of dental caries and the state compensation of diabetes mellitus promoted caries resistance of enamel 1.7 times, reducing the intensity of caries by 2.7 times, allowed to reduction the dental caries growth by 62.5%.

<p>Dental caries is a multifactorial disease and the quality of oral hygiene has high influence on development of dental caries. Knowing that dental caries is a dynamic and reversible process led to the development of new technologies that can detect caries at its earliest stages (before the formation of the cavity), for its prompt treatment and prevention. 70 years of fluoride usage for prevention dental caries showed their reliability and ability to participate in the remineralization of hard tooth tissues. At the same time efficiency of fluoride is reduced under acidic conditions of dental plaque (in case of a poor oral hygiene). Daily oral hygiene with usage of a paste with 1.5% arginine, 1450 ppm of fluoride and calcium bicarbonate will help to stop the development of dental caries and reduce the risk of the new carious cavities appearance even in conditions of low level of oral hygiene.</p>

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.

Fluoride varnish application is an effective intervention in controlling dental caries. Objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of six monthly application of sodium fluoride varnish in prevention of dental caries in deciduous teeth, permanent incisors and molars in children between six and seven years in a low resource setting, Sri Lanka. This was an open-label, randomized controlled trial (NCT02877888) in school children aged six to seven years, living in a district of Sri Lanka. Recruited children were randomly assigned to either a treatment (n=161) or to control group (n=162). Children in the treatment group received fluoride varnish professionally applied every 6 months combined with counselling on maintenance of oral hygiene and diet for a period of 2 years. Caries examinations were conducted using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). The primary outcome studied was the number of new caries in the two study groups. At each time interval, the mean number of new dental caries was significantly lower in the intervention group. When independent effect of the intervention on development of new dental caries was assessed, application of fluoride varnish every 6 months for a period of 2 years was significantly associated with less number of new dental caries compared to controls. Fluoride varnish application in a low resource setting is an effective method of preventing dental caries among children. A national level programme would contribute to the reduction of dental caries in this age group. Keywords: Clinical trial, Fluoride varnish, Dental caries, Caries prevention, Effectiveness

Full textAbstract:
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.

Although dental caries in the pediatric and adolescent population has consistently declined in the United States, it is still the most common childhood disease. Dental problems are the number one reason for missing school next to the common cold. Dental caries are an infectious, communicable disease resulting in destruction of tooth structure by acid-forming bacteria found in dental plaque, an intraoral biofilm, in the presence of sugar. The etiology of rampant disease is very complex. It is multifactorial and has a close relationship to a number of risk factors. It is important that school nurses identify patients at risk for dental caries early to determine their risk and refer them for disease prevention and control.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary paradigms of dental caries aetiology focus on the ecology of the dental plaque biofilm and how local environmental factors can modulate this to cause disease. The crucial role that a healthy oral microbiome plays in preventing caries and promoting oral health is also being increasingly recognized. Based on these concepts, several ecological preventive approaches have been developed that could potentially broaden the arsenal of currently available caries-preventive measures. Many of these ecological approaches aim for long-term caries control by either disrupting cariogenic virulence factors without affecting bacterial viability, or include measures that can enhance the growth of health-associated, microbially diverse communities in the oral microbiome. This paper argues for the need to develop ecological preventive measures that go beyond conventional caries-preventive methods, and discusses whether these ecological approaches can be effective in reducing the severity of caries by promoting stable, health-associated oral biofilm communities.

Nowadays dental caries and periodontal diseases are among the most pressing problems in Paediatric Dentistry. Young patients with psychoneurological disorders are a special category among children with somatic pathology. At the same time, the issue of providing dental care to such children is underrepresented. Today, traditional schemes used for the prevention and treatment of caries and periodontal disease in children with mental retardation requires further improvement taking into account the clinical status of children with particular forms of mental retardation, including oligophrenia. Thus, the aim of our study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a complex of measures to prevent dental caries in children with oligophrenia.
To assess the effectiveness of the elaborated preventive complex, 56 children aged 12 years with the diagnosis of oligophrenia of I degree of severity (mild mental backwardness) were under observation during 2 years; 27 children received the complex we developed. The group of comparison included 29 children; caries prevention measures for these children were based on regional protocols (hygienic education, keeping oral hygiene, use of fluoride toothpastes).
The effectiveness of the developed preventive complex was evaluated 6, 12 and 24 months after the beginning of its implementation according to the following criteria: the growth of dental caries intensity; reduction in the growth of dental caries intensity; level of oral hygiene (OHI-S index); changes in the biocenosis of the oral cavity (in 1 and 6 months of the observation).
The results of the examination after the 6 month observation period have shown the dental caries intensity in children of the main group is 6.65 ± 0.45 teeth that is 1.02 times lower than in the children of the comparison group (6.79 ± 0.26 teeth, p ˃0.05). Thus, the growth of dental caries intensity in the children of the main group is, on average, 0.41 ± 0.05 tooth, which is significantly lower than in children of the comparison group (0.58 ± 0.06 tooth, p <0.05 ).
The reduction in the growth of caries intensity in children who received the developed preventive complex was 41.46%. Thus, during two years of the observation, the growth of caries intensity in children of the main group is 1.52 ± 0.08 tooth that is 1.74 times lower than in children of the comparison group (2.64 ± 0.9 tooth, p <0, 05). The reduction in the growth of caries intensity in children who received this preventive complex is, on average, 42.42%.
The effectiveness of the proposed preventive complex for children with oligophrenia and carious lesions was also evaluated by using the hygienic Green-Vermillion index. According to the data obtained, at the period of inclusion into the study, the children in both groups demonstrated nearly the same indices of the oral hygiene. However, over the period of the study, the indices of the hygiene index between the children of the main group and the comparison group differed significantly. The application of preventive complex in children with oligophrenia resulted in better oral hygiene than in that the children of the comparison group. This can be explained by professional hygiene, quality control of toothbrushing and hygiene education of children and their parents. The effectiveness of the elaborated complex of preventive measures was also evidenced by changes in the oral biocenosis in the children of the main group in 1 and 6 months of the observation. The findings of microbiological studies showed that the microbial spectrum of the oral cavity changed toward the healthier balance in the children of the main group during the observation period: there was gradual decrease in pathogenic microflora and an increase in symbiotic microflora.
Thus, the analysis of findings obtained over the two year observation period in children with oligophrenia, who received the complex of measures to prevent dental caries prevention has confirmed its effectiveness by reducing the growth of caries intensity, the reduction in the growth of caries intensity, hygiene improvement and normalization of oral microbiocenosis.

Background and Objectives: Dental caries considered as one of the most prevalent diseases affecting teeth. Many organizations are trying to prevent this disease in a variety of ways. The first responsible person professionally for oral health education is the dentist. In order to educate others, one should apply these measures by himself. The aim is to measure the prevalence of dental caries among different stage students, in college of Dentistry/Hawler Medical University. Then relate the prevalence with their academic knowledge of dental caries prevention and to know if males or females have more dental caries, in academically educated dental students about dental caries prevention. Methods: 148 were collected, and the DMFT index scored for them. From which 62 of them were males and 86 females. Peak participation was in the first stage. Females were dominant in participation in all the stages without exception. The female to male ratio was 1.39:1 in the total of all stage participants. Results: The results appeared not significant, with no association between dental caries and academic education of dental caries prevention (p=0.703). There was some difference between the stages, but it was not coincident with having oral health education or not. Conclusion: Academic information has little effect on increasing or decreasing dental caries rates.

AbstractOral health is related to diet in many ways, for example, nutritional influences on craniofacial development, oral cancer and oral infectious diseases. Dental diseases impact considerably on self-esteem and quality of life and are expensive to treat. The objective of this paper is to review the evidence for an association between nutrition, diet and dental diseases and to present dietary recommendations for their prevention. Nutrition affects the teeth during development and malnutrition may exacerbate periodontal and oral infectious diseases. However, the most significant effect of nutrition on teeth is the local action of diet in the mouth on the development of dental caries and enamel erosion. Dental erosion is increasing and is associated with dietary acids, a major source of which is soft drinks.Despite improved trends in levels of dental caries in developed countries, dental caries remains prevalent and is increasing in some developing countries undergoing nutrition transition. There is convincing evidence, collectively from human intervention studies, epidemiological studies, animal studies and experimental studies, for an association between the amount and frequency of free sugars intake and dental caries. Although other fermentable carbohydrates may not be totally blameless, epidemiological studies show that consumption of starchy staple foods and fresh fruit are associated with low levels of dental caries. Fluoride reduces caries risk but has not eliminated dental caries and many countries do not have adequate exposure to fluoride.It is important that countries with a low intake of free sugars do not increase intake, as the available evidence shows that when free sugars consumption is <15–20kg/yr (~6–10% energy intake), dental caries is low. For countries with high consumption levels it is recommended that national health authorities and decision-makers formulate country-specific and community-specific goals for reducing the amount of free sugars aiming towards the recommended maximum of no more than 10% of energy intake. In addition, the frequency of consumption of foods containing free sugars should be limited to a maximum of 4 times per day. It is the responsibility of national authorities to ensure implementation of feasible fluoride programmes for their country.

AbstractThe recent developments in the science underpinning our knowledge of both the initiation of dental caries and the subsequent behaviour of lesions over time gives us a solid base to understand caries differently. Advances in understanding the human and oral microbiome have come in parallel with the recognition of the importance of balancing protective and pathological risk factors. Caries prevention and management is now about controlling risk factors to maintain a balanced intraoral biofilm ecology that guards against a continuing low pH driven by the frequent consumption of sugars. Thus, caries control is no longer about attempts at eradicating any specific microorganism. Further, the present knowledge leads to the classification of dental caries as a non-communicable disease (NCD), which is vitally important from a policy perspective (both globally and at the country level). Caries shares similar risk factors with other chronic/systemic diseases, which provides opportunities for developing common prevention strategies and promoting health equity through action on the social determinants of health. So, preventing and controlling caries should be integrated across the so-called upstream, midstream and downstream levels and these activities can also help to control other NCDs.

Parents' knowledge about the period of tooth growth, both primary and permanent teeth, is very important, but in fact, parents often don't care about their children's teeth. The role of parents is very necessary for guiding, providing understanding, reminding, and providing facilities to children so that children can maintain oral hygiene. Parents also have an important role in preventing caries in children. This study aims to describe the knowledge of parents about dental growth and prevention of dental caries in TK Kemala Bhayangkari 42 Bandung. This type of research uses descriptive research methods. The place and time of this research were carried out at Kemala Bhayangkari 42 Kindergarten, Bandung City. The population in this study were all parents of Kemala Bhayangkari 42 Kindergarten students in Bandung, amounting to 35 people. The research sample is total sampling and the research instrument uses a questionnaire. Parents' knowledge of dental growth in the less category is 51.4% and the level of parental knowledge about caries prevention is in the sufficient category, which is 48.6%. Parental knowledge about dental growth is still in the poor category, while parental knowledge about caries prevention is in the sufficient category.

A clear understanding of the mechanism of action of fluoride and its pharmacokinetics would ensure appropriate clinical use of fluoride and fluoride-containing modalities. Convincing evidence exists that fluoride has a major effect on the demineralization and remineralization of dental hard tissues, and that it interferes with the acid production from "cariogenic" bacteria. However, it has also been shown to be physiologically harmful if fluoride concentrations and/or exposure periods are inappropriate. In order to establish appropriate clinical concentrations and exposure periods for fluoride administration, this review is concentrated on the theme that fluoride controls but does not prevent caries. The review is organized along classical lines, with a discussion of the role of systemic vs. topical fluoride. Discussion of the systemic effects of fluoride includes ingestion through water fluoridation, fluoride supplements, topical fluoride applications, and dentifrices. The benefits and problems associated with the systemic route of fluoride administration are discussed with special reference to caries control and fluoride's mechanism of action and its toxic effect. The same discussions are focused on the role of the topical effects of fluoride, with particular emphasis placed upon: low vs. high fluoride concentrations; calcium fluoride vs. fluorhydroxyapatite; and fluoride distribution, in both the mouth and in the teeth.

Introduction: The Dental Home is the ongoing relationship between the dentist and the patient, inclusive of all aspects of oral health care delivered in a comprehensive, continuously accessible, coordinated, and family-centered way. Dental practice, working on the principles of the Dental Home, increases the possibilities for caries prevention. Aim: The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of our educational and motivational program created in the Dental Home for caries prevention for two years. Material and methods: The object of research and comparison are two groups of children - experimental and control. The experimental group includes 90 children who have two years of regular participation in our Dental Home and are theobject of our motivational and educational program. The control group are 30 childrenwho are visiting our Dental Home for the first time. We evaluated the effectiveness of preventive care led by the Dental Home by comparing the results in the two groups on the following criteria - dft – index, plaque index and level of caries risk. Our results confirmed that care in Dental Home reduces the spread of caries -85,56% of the children in our experimental group stayed caries-free, compared to 46.67% of the children in the control group.Significantly lower level of plaque accumulation was shown by the children for whom we created a Dental home. The number of children at high risk of caries development is significantly higher in the control group. Conclusion: A dental practice that works on the principles of the Dental Home has the potential to manage children's oral health.

Full textAbstract:
Professionally applied topical fluoride varnish, gel, and solution have been shown to be effective in preventing and in arresting dental caries. Their use in different countries in Asia varies greatly and may not correlate with the dental caries situation of the populations in the countries. In the higher-income countries, use of fluoride varnish and gel is common among dental professionals. In contrast, the use of professionally administered topical fluorides is not common in the lower-income countries. Fluoride varnish, being easy to apply and safe, has been the preferred agent for the prevention of early childhood caries, which is prevalent in many developing countries in Asia. The relatively high cost of professionally administered fluoride agents and the shortage of a dental workforce, especially in lower income countries, have hampered the widespread adoption of these effective caries prevention methods in the private and public dental services. Government health policies should be pursued to lower the cost of treatment, either through incentives for local production and/or elimination of taxes and tariffs on imported fluoride products.

ABSTRACT Maintenance of the effective local concentration of antimicrobials on the tooth surface is critical for the management of cariogenic bacteria in the oral cavity. We report on the design of a simple tooth-binding micellar drug delivery platform that would effectively bind to tooth surfaces. To achieve tooth-binding ability, the chain termini of biocompatible Pluronic copolymers were modified with a biomineral-binding moiety (i.e., alendronate). The micelles formulated with this polymer were shown to be able to swiftly (<1 min) bind to hydroxyapatite (HA; a model tooth surface) and gradually release the encapsulated model antimicrobial (farnesol). These tooth-binding micelles were negatively charged and had an average effective hydrodynamic diameter of less than 100 nm. In vitro biofilm inhibition studies demonstrated that the farnesol-containing tooth-binding micelles were able to provide significantly stronger inhibition of Streptococcus mutans UA159 biofilm formation on HA discs than the untreated blank control micelles (P < 0.0001). Upon further optimization, this delivery platform could provide an effective tool for caries prevention and treatment.
