This cross-sectional study assessed the relationship between fixed orthodontic treatment duration and caries activity. Two hundred sixty 10- to 30-year-olds were divided into 4 groups (<i>n</i> = 65): no appliances (G0), for 1 year (G1), 2 years (G2), or 3 (G3). Orthodontic was significantly associated with active caries: prevalence 1.5% G0, 27.7% G1, 72.3% G2 G3; median number of lesions 0 G0 G1 G3. No differences observed The longer treatment, higher prevalence/extent lesions.
The aim of this study was to estimate the independent effects biofilm accumulation and eruption stage on occurrence active caries lesions occlusal surfaces permanent molars. sample consisted 298 schoolchildren (6-15 years) who were examined by a calibrated examiner at dental unit, using artificial light, mirror WHO probe. visible each molar recorded. After professional prophylaxis air drying, classified as sound, caries-inactive or caries-active. To evaluate association with lesions,...
This study assessed the association between eruption stage of permanent second molars and occlusal caries activity among 12-year-old schoolchildren from South Brazil. A cross-sectional was performed in Porto Alegre using a multistage probability sampling strategy to select representative sample. Clinical examination conducted assess molars, Gingival Bleeding Index, and, after tooth cleaning drying, experience (noncavitated cavitated lesions, including assessment). Data were collected on sex,...
This study aimed to assess the association between underlying dentin shadows (UDS) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among 15-19-year-old adolescents from southern Brazil. population-based cross-sectional included a representative sample 1,197 attending 31 public private schools Santa Maria, The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was used evaluate OHRQoL, clinical examinations were performed by two calibrated examiners (intra/interexaminer kappa values for caries...
This longitudinal study aimed to assess the association between use of fixed orthodontic appliances and incidence/increment active caries lesions in adolescents young adults over a one-year period. A total 135 10-30-year-old individuals were divided into two groups: Group G0 was composed who required treatment, but did not undergo therapy period (n=70); G1 used appliance for 1 year (n=65). Data collection included questionnaire clinical oral examinations (plaque index, gingival dental...
The aim of this study was to assess the performance dental students for detecting in vitro occlusal carious lesions using International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) with different learning strategies. A convenience sample all 64 fourth-year at a school Brazil who had no previous experience ICDAS selected 2015. First, performed examination surfaces 80 teeth according ICDAS. Two weeks later, were randomly allocated three groups: G1 (n=21), e-learning; G2 (n=22), e-learning +...
The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence erosive tooth wear (ETW) among 15-19-year-old South Brazilian adolescents, regarding prevalence, extent, severity, intraoral distribution, and sociodemographic risk indicators. A population-based cross-sectional survey conducted in Santa Maria, southern Brazil, included a representative sample adolescents. Data collection application questionnaire clinical examination. sent parents/legal guardians selected students, containing questions on...
This cohort study evaluated the fate of sound surfaces and inactive non-cavitated (INC) active (ANC) caries lesions in a population-based sample South Brazilian adolescents, answer to question: “Is lesion activity assessment reliable criterion diagnose patient’s activity?” A total 801 schoolchildren were examined at baseline (aged 12 years) after mean time interval 2.5 years. Data collection included questionnaire clinical examination. Patients classified as caries-free (patients without any...
Abstract Background/Aims The literature is scarce on the association between traumatic dental injuries (TDI) and oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) among adolescents, there no study assessing this relationship using clinical criteria for assessment TDI in age group. aim was to assess OHRQoL 15 19yearold adolescents from Santa Maria, Brazil. Materials Methods A population‐based cross‐sectional conducted including a representative sample 1197 attending 31 public private schools. Oral...
Tutored laboratorial activities could be a manner of improving the competency development students. However, its impact over conventional theoretical classes has not yet been tested. Additionally, different university contexts influence this issue and should explored.To assess tutored theoretical-practical training for teaching undergraduate students to detect caries lesions as compared with activities. The these teaching/learning will assessed in terms efficacy, cost/benefit, retention...
As the thick biofilm in presence of fermentable carbohydrates is main etiological factor dental caries, frequent and systematic removal this colony by means an effective control should result prevention caries lesions or arrest local carious process. However, role management has been questioned. This chapter will discuss oral hygiene practices on root surfaces. Laboratory clinical studies describing effect arrestment are described. Epidemiological surveys evaluating association between...
To evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment for non-cavitated occlusal lesions on erupting permanent molars and to verify whether initial eruption stage final biofilm accumulation are associated with activity after treatment.Forty-eight patients aged from 5 13 years old were selected. Molars active surface classified according stage. Patients received 4 weeks based oral health instructions fluoride applications. Three end treatment, 39 reassessed lesion status recorded. Odds ratios obtained...
To assess the association between residence place, socioeconomic conditions and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among schoolchildren from southern Brazil.Participants were 9-14-year-old rural urban municipal schools Rosário do Sul, Brazil. The Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14) was used to OHRQoL. A structured questionnaire collected data on sociodemographic condition (family income), place (urban or rural), use dental services, behavioral variables. Clinical examination...
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to assess the radiographic progression underlying dentin shadows (UDS) on occlusal surfaces permanent posterior teeth adolescents and young adults over 1-2 years identify possible risk factors. A total 149 UDS lesions (from 101 individuals) were included at baseline. Each participant had present least one be considered eligible for study. Data collection application a questionnaire, clinical examination, bilateral bitewing radiographs, performed...
This study aimed to assess the relationship between self-perceived neighborhood factors and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among adolescents from southern Brazil. A representative sample 15-19-year-old students Santa Maria, Brazil, was included. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) used OHRQoL. Self-perceived were assessed through a structured questionnaire included characteristics where lived, such as presence paved streets, tap water, community social networks,...
