Background: The vision of the Indian dental association is to improve oral health and achieving optimal national oral health for all. So, the present study was aimed to improve the knowledge and practice regarding oral hygiene using STP (structured teaching programme) among selected middle school children at Udaipur.Methods: Evaluative research approach and pre-experimental, one-group pre-test, post-test designs were adopted for this study. Using a non-probability, convenient sampling technique, sixty children were recruited from the sixth and seventh standards of selected middle schools at Udaipur city. Tools included demographic data, a self-structured knowledge questionnaire and an observational checklist. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential values by IBM statistical package for social sciences (SPSS version 23) software.Results: Data revealed that there was a lack of knowledge and practice (tooth brushing technique) on oral hygiene among middle school children which can be increased by administering STP on oral hygiene. The mean and standard deviation of post-test knowledge score and practice score 15.73±1.19 and 8.41±1.66 was higher than the mean and standard deviation of pre-test knowledge score and practice score 5.11±1.14 and 4.27±179 respectively.Conclusions: Greater attention to STP on oral hygiene is needed to improve knowledge and practice (tooth brushing technique) regarding oral hygiene among middle school children.

Background/Aim. Orthodontic treatment enables the establishment of functional occlusion and improvement of oral health, however, it increases the risk of periodontal disease development. The aim of this paper was to examine the efficiency of the applied programme for the prevention of gingivitis in children undergoing the fixed orthodontic appliance therapy and to determine the most efficient devices and techniques for maintaining oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment. Methods. The study included 80 patients of both genders - 60 patients comprised the experimental group and 20 patients comprised the control group. All of them were patients of the Clinic for Orthodontics at the School of Dentistry in Belgrade, aged between 13 and 18. The Silness-L?e Plaque Index (PI) was utilised for the assessment of oral hygiene quality and Silness-L?e Gingival Index (GI) and M?hlemann Papilla Bleeding Index (PBI) were utilised for the assessment of gingival state. Checkups were conducted as a single-blind study at the beginning and after the first, the third and the sixth month of the preventive and prophylactic programme. Results. During the observed period, a statistically significant change in PI, GI and PBI values was noticed (p < 0.005), as well as the difference in the dynamics of value changes during the periods between the observed groups. Conclusion. The preventive programme, applied to children undergoing the fixed orthodontic appliance therapy, had a positive effect both on oral hygiene quality and gingival state. The values of the examined parameters of the patients from the experimental group were significantly lower in comparison with those of the patients from the control group. The most efficient combination of devices for oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment was: a Curaprox CP5460 toothbrush, CD Ortho 60 orthodontic toothbrush and Curaprox CPS 14 interdental brush.

Introduction. Dental caries and periodontal disease are the most frequent oral diseases and therefore determine oral health condition. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the preventive programme for improving oral health in primary school children from first to fourth grade in Banjaluka. Material and methods.. Triennial study started in 2005 and included 911 second grade and 1491 fourth grade pupils in primary schools in Banjaluka. The study was completed in 2008. In the school year of 2007/08, 885 fourth grade pupils (examined in 2005. as second grade pupils) who were comprised by prevention program were reexamined. Dental check-ups were conducted by dentists on daylight using dental mirror and dental probe. Caries prevalence was analyzed using the DMFT index while oral hygiene was assessed using oral hygiene index (OHI). Results. The structure of DMFT among the second grade pupils (in the school year 2005/06) showed that the dominant component of DMFT was for healthy teeth (81%), followed by decayed (14%) and filled teeth (5%). The average value of OHI was 1.47 for this group of pupils. The structure of DMFT in the fourth grade pupils (in the year 2005/06) showed that the dominant component of DMFT was also for healthy teeth (75%). The next were decayed (18%) and filled teeth (7%). The average value of OHI was 1.60. Data analyses in the school year 2007/08 from the fourth grade pupils (who were second grade pupils during the school year 2005/06) and were comprised by preventive programme, showed that DMFT had the dominant component of healthy teeth (81%) followed by 10% of decayed teeth and 8% of filled teeth. Extracted teeth were only 1%. OHI was 0.95. Conclusion. The preventive programme applied in primary schools in Banjaluka since 2005. decreased the number of oral diseases and improved oral hygiene among the children who participated in this program.

This paper reports the results of a "pilot" survey undertaken in 1986 in the region of Lalitpur district, prior to the commencement of a primary oral health programme in the area. Rural areas, and urban schools were the venue for this survey, and were chosen at random.The results show a "low" to "very low" prevalence of dental decay with a rising incidence. On the other hand the area has a "high incidence" of periodental disease. Recommendations are that a fluoride supplement should be added to the diet to maintain a low prevalance of dental decay (especially in the urban area), and that widespread educational programmes should be started with the aim of promoting good oral hygiene practices.

Relevance: odontogenic infection plays an important role in the development of pregnancy complications, often causing premature birth of the child, as well as limiting its growth and development. According to studies Figueiredo C., Rosalem C., Cantanhede A. found that during pregnancy, women’s organs undergo various physiological, neurological and hormonal changes that occur gradually. In the process of such a restructuring of the body changes the dental status, which determines the correction stages of individual oral hygiene. According to the study Trigolos N. N., Firsova I. V., Makedonova Y. A. and others determined that dental health improves dental status, eliminates the possibility of exacerbation of chronic odontogenic foci of infection, reduces the risk of fetal infection and development of prenatal and postnatal complications, as well as a positive effect on antenatal prevention of dental diseases of the child.Materials and methods: a total of 216 pregnant women were examined and monitored for a month. To study the hygienic status of women during pregnancy with the pathology of hard tissues of teeth, the hygienic index of green-Vermillion was used. Assessment of the acid-base state of the oral fluid was carried out using the pH meter of the company “Hanna” with a replaceable pH electrode HI 1270. Antimicrobial activity of the hygiene of the mouth was studied with the use of different means of oral hygiene in the process of carrying out hygienic measures to identify maximum efficiency in the selection of funds and the development of “personal hygiene prevention programme”.Results: the assessment showed an increase in the cleansing effect for the entire period of the study in group 1 from 16.90 ± 3.53% to 49.77 ± 5.62%, in group 2 – from 28.19 ± 3.85% to 64.21 ± 6.32%, in contrast to the control – from 16.14 ± 3.21% to 35.87 ± 5.07%. Indicators of changes in acid-base efficiency of oral fluid were in the 1st group 2.50 ± 0.20, in the 2nd group - 3.21 ± 0.20, and in the 3rd group was 2.38 ± 0.20.Conclusion: during pregnancy, it is necessary to choose the right hygiene products to ensure oral health and maintain odontogenic infectious status, which eliminates the risk of preterm birth, which threatens a pregnant woman. The importance of odontogenic infection and ways of prevention in women of childbearing age is determined by the development of measures to strengthen dental health and plays a leading role in the planning of individual programs for the prevention of major dental diseases in women of childbearing age.

AimTo implement recommendations for oral hygiene before elective open-heart surgery in a thoracic surgery ward and to evaluate whether the number of patients who needed to be treated with antibiotics postoperatively was reduced.BackgroundHealthcare systems are challenged to implement initiatives that reduce the development of nosocomial infections, to offer patients a safe and cost-efficient treatment and to reduce the use of antibiotics. Previous interventions have focused on staff behaviour in reducing postoperative infections. In this study, patients were recommended to carry out oral hygiene as recommended in a clinical guideline.MethodsA quasiexperimental design with a control and an intervention group was used. Information on adherence to the recommendation was collected at admission. All medical information and prescriptions of antibiotics were obtained from patients’ medical records. Data were reported as intention to treat.ResultsAltogether 972 patients (506 controls and 466 interventions) were included in the study. Of the intervention patients, 405 (86.9%, 95% CI 83.3 to 89.8) reported that they had adhered to the oral hygiene recommendation. 64 (12.6%) control patients and 36 (7.7%) in the intervention group (p=0.015) were treated with antibiotics postoperatively.ConclusionsIt was feasible to involve patients in a programme for oral hygiene and thereby reduce the number of patients needing antibiotics after open-heart surgery and this might contribute to reducing costs.

Full textAbstract:
Caries of the pits and fissures of permanent teeth continues to be a problem for children. Newly erupted permanent molars are particularly at risk. Oral hygiene measures have been shown to be able to reduce the incidence of caries. The aim of this study was to compare the caries preventive effects of a professional tooth cleaning and oral health education programme (test) with a standard preventive programme (comparison), comprising selective fissure sealing and application of topical fluorides on newly erupted first permanent molars. School Dental Service clinics of the Health Department of Western Australia, in Perth, were assigned to test (4)or comparison (4) clinics. Schoolchildren, mean age 6.3 plus or minus 0.3 (s) yr with, sound, newly erupted first permanent molars were included in the study (n=404; 207 test; 197 control).Children were examined after twelve and twenty-four months by an examiner who was 'blind' to the test or control status of the children. After twelve months, 186 test and 163 control children were examined, and after twenty-four months, 179 test and 156 control children were examined. Three hundred and twenty children were examined in both years. After twenty-four months, 32 children in test and 31 children in control developed caries of the first permanent molars, the estimated risk ratio was 0.90 (95% CI 0.58, 1.41); and children in the test group had an average DFT score of 0.30 plus or minus 0.75 compared with 0.30 plus or minus 0.70 DFT in the control group (t-test, p=0.96). The results suggest that, after two years, there was no statistically significant difference between the caries preventive effects of a professional tooth cleaning and oral health education programme and a programme based on selective fissure sealing and application of topical fluorides.Baseline deciduous caries experience, presence of hypomineralised first ++permanent molars and frequency of toothbrushing were statistically significant factors in predicting molar caries. Using baseline deciduous caries experience as a screening criterion to predict permanent molar caries, sensitivity of 0.67 and specificity 0.61 were obtained at a cutpoint of 1 dmfs. Sensitivity and specificity values were maximised at 0.72 by using a combined baseline dmfs and hypomineralisation as screening criteria. Cost-effectiveness analysis indicated an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $40/child/year. The test programme was more costly and produced similar outcomes and does not warrant adoption on economic grounds.

Full textAbstract:
En 2003, le programme mondial pour la santé orale de l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé a été réorienté selon la nouvelle stratégie d’intégration de la santé orale à la prévention des maladies chroniques. La promotion de la santé y est reconnue comme une stratégie économiquement efficiente pour réduire à la fois le fardeau social et économique des maladies bucco-dentaires, maintenir une bonne santé orale et la qualité de vie. L’école constitue un moyen efficace pour promouvoir la santé parce qu’elle permet d’accéder à plusieurs millions d’enfants scolarisés à travers le monde. La promotion de la santé orale dans les écoles, visant à développer des habitudes de vie saines et des pratiques d’hygiène orale efficaces, par une approche intégrée combinant politiques de santé publique, éducation à la santé axée sur l’acquisition de compétences et un environnement scolaire sain, permet un contrôle efficace des maladies orales et la réduction de leurs prévalences. Les programmes de prévention bucco-dentaire basés sur les écoles mis en place localement satisfont à ces objectifs. A l’initiative de la Faculté d’Odontologie de Montpellier, un programme de prévention, de promotion et d’éducation pour la santé orale a été conduit dans les établissements scolaires de la ville de Montpellier et a concerné un millier d’enfants âgés de 4 à 13 ans sur une période de quatre ans. L’étude de son efficacité a été évaluée par l’amélioration des connaissances et pratiques en matière d’hygiène orale après les interventions dans les classes et l’amélioration de l’indice de plaque. Par ailleurs, les actions de dépistage clinique menées au décours de ce programme ont permis d’estimer la prévalence carieuse des enfants scolarisés sur la ville de Montpellier. En tenant compte de la distribution des lésions carieuses observées, différents modèles de régression ont été testés afin de rechercher une éventuelle association avec l’indice de masse corporelle. Enfin, ce programme nous a également donné l’opportunité d’évaluer l’effet des mesures d’éducation pour la santé orale sur les parents des écoliers en relation avec la transmission des connaissances acquises par les enfants à leurs parents et mettre en évidence un éventuel changement de comportement chez ceux-ciIn 2003, the World Health Organization Global Oral Health Program has been refocused under the new strategy of integration of oral health in the prevention of chronic and non communicable diseases. Health promotion is recognized as an economically cost-effective strategy to reduce both the social and economic burden of oral diseases, maintain good oral health and quality of life. The school is an effective way to promote health because it allows access to millions of schoolchildren around the world. Oral health promotion through schools, which aims to develop healthy living habits and effective oral hygiene practices, because of an integrated combination approach of public health policy, health education focused on the acquisition of skills and a healthy school environment, enables an effective control of oral diseases and their prevalence reduction. School-based oral health prevention programs set up locally meet those objectives. At the initiative of the Dental Faculty of Montpellier, a school-based oral health prevention, promotion and education program has been implemented onto a 4 to 13 years old children sample over a four years period. The study of its effectiveness was evaluated by knowledge and oral hygiene practices improvement after teaching interventions, but also by the improvement of the plaque index score. Otherwise, dental screenings realized in the course of this program have led us to assess the caries prevalence of children in the city of Montpellier. Taking into account the distribution of carious lesions inside the population studied, different regression models have been tested and a possible association with body mass index researched. Lastly, this program also gave us the opportunity to evaluate the effect of oral health education measures on the parents of schoolchildren in connection with the transmission of knowledge acquired by the children to their parents and to highlight a possible change in behaviour among these

This chapter describes a number of medico-administrative and legal changes that were introduced in nineteenth-century Egypt and that gave rise to an individualized conception of identity. Prompted by the recruitment needs of a new conscript army, an administrative apparatus was put in place that gave rise to novel techniques of identifying peasants, monitoring their movements, and controlling their bodies. A wide-ranging public hygiene programme aimed at serving the army resulted in a statistical regime whose crowning achievement was a nation-wide census. Concurrently, legal reforms replaced the reputational and oral witnesses that the shari'a relied on with named and written forms of identification. The chapter concludes with a discussion about the implications of this rise of a free-floating individual for conceptions of legal equality.

Full textAbstract:
The gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) hosts the most numerous and diverse reservoir of microbes in humans. There is increasing interest in the relationship between the GIT microbiome and human health. Obesity, diabetes, allergy, and a number of inflammatory diseases have been linked with the human GIT microbiome. Infections of the GIT arise either as a result of a change in the relationship between the commensal microbes colonizing the GIT (endogenous infection) or entry in to the GIT of a micro-organism which causes disease (exogenous infection). Commensals most commonly invade host tissues as a result of compromised defensive barriers. Disease associated with exogenous infection can be toxin-mediated, or associated with local or systemic invasion of the host. Endogenous infections are usually polymicrobial. In the mouth the aetiology, presentation, and anatomical associations have led to the description of a number of syndromes. Peritonsillar infection with involvement of the internal jugular vein is Lemierre’s syndrome, which is particularly associated with infection with Fusobacterium necrophorum. ‘Trench mouth’ is a severe form of ulcerative gingivitis, so named because in the absence of oral hygiene it was a relatively common diagnosis among those in the trenches during the First World War. Ludwig’s angina is a severe infection of the floor of the mouth which spreads in to the submandibular and sub-lingual space, often following a tooth-related infection. Deep neck infections are more common in children than adults and can involve the parapharyngeal, retropharyngeal, peri-tonsillar, or sub-mandibular spaces. Children with deep neck infections are more likely than adults to present with cough and respiratory distress. Oesophagitis has a wide range of potential aetiologies. Fungi (particularly Candida species) are probably the most common microbial cause of oesophagitis. Fungal infection of the distal oesophagus is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of disseminated fungal infection. Risk factors for fungal infection include poor oral intake, exposure to antibiotics, immunocompromise (HIV, steroids, cancer treatments), gastric acid suppressants, and damage to mucosal integrity (naso-gastric tubes, acid reflux, varices). Bacteria (including Mycobacteria, Actinomycetes, Treponemes), parasites, and viruses (herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus) are rarer infectious causes of oesophagitis.
