Abstract Background An understanding of the relation commensal microbiota to health is essential in preventing disease. Here we studied oral microbial composition children (N = 74, aged 3 - 18 years) natural transition from their deciduous a permanent dentition and related profiles status. The saliva was assessed by barcoded pyrosequencing V5-V6 hypervariable regions 16 S rRNA, as well using phylogenetic microarrays. Results Pyrosequencing reads (126174 reads, 1045 unique sequences)...

The aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to report on the prevalence hypomineralizations in second primary molars 5-year-old Dutch children. In 386 (45% girls) children, all insured by a Health Insurance Fund, participated.

Abstract Aim To investigate the association between dietary inflammatory potential and poor periodontal health. Material Methods A cross‐sectional analysis of a nationally representative sample participants was performed. NHANES 2011–2014 ( n = 7081) 2001–2004 5098) were used as discovery validation datasets, respectively.

In dental epidemiology, the decayed (D), missing (M), and filled (F) teeth or surfaces index (DFM index) is a frequently used measure. The DMF characterized by strongly positive skewed distribution with large stack of zero counts for those individuals without caries experience. Therefore, standard generalized linear models often lead to poor fit. hurdle regression model highly suitable class index, but its use subordinated. We aim overcome gap between suitability fit indices frequency in...
