Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal organism frequently detected in the oral cavity of children with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC). Previous studies suggested cariogenic potential C. albicans, vitro and vivo, further demonstrated its synergistic interactions Streptococcus mutans. In combination, 2 organisms are associated higher severity a rodent model. However, it remains unknown whether influences composition diversity entire bacterial community to promote S-ECC onset. With...
Introduction Candida albicans has been detected together with Streptococcus mutans in high numbers plaque-biofilm from children early childhood caries (ECC). The goal of this study was to examine the C. carriage severe (S-ECC) and maternal relatedness. Methods Subjects pilot cross-sectional were recruited based on a convenient sample. DMFT(S)/dmft(s) plaque scores assessed during comprehensive oral exam. Social-demographic related background information collected through questionnaire....
Abstract – Background: The prevalence of overweight children in the United States continues to increase. Objectives: To examine relationship between being and caries primary permanent dentition a nationally representative sample children. Methods: Data from NHANES III (1988–1994) were analyzed using logistic regression controlling for potential confounders 10 180 2–18 years age 1999–2002 7568 age. Results: For 2–5 age, there was no difference experience among normal weight, at risk or...
As the most common chronic disease in preschool children United States, early childhood caries (ECC) has a profound impact on child's quality of life, represents tremendous human and economic burden to society, disproportionately affects those living poverty. Caries risk assessment (CRA) is critical component ECC management, yet accuracy, consistency, reproducibility, longitudinal validation available techniques are lacking. Molecular microbial biomarkers represent potential source for...
Dental caries is the most prevalent infectious disease among US children. National surveys have shown that poor and minority-group children are not only disproportionately affected by dental but also limited access to oral health care. Following successful exploratory applications of both synchronous asynchronous models at Eastman Institute for Oral Health, teledentistry has been demonstrated be a practical cost-effective way improve care rural disadvantaged These support role in reducing...
In Rochester, NY, telehealth centres were established in six inner-city elementary schools and seven child-care centres. The teledentistry project complemented the existing model. Using an intraoral camera, assistants record digital images of children's teeth (768 × 494 pixels) send to a computer at expert dental site (the Eastman Department Dentistry University Rochester). paediatric dentist reviews images, provides referral treatment recommendations. Subsequently, assistant contacts...
Dental caries affecting the primary dentition of U.S. children continues to be most prevalent chronic childhood disease. Preventive screening for dental in toddlers by professionals is labor-intensive and costly. Studies are warranted examine innovative modalities that reduce cost, less labor-intensive, have potential identify high-risk children.
Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a common problem encountered in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to identify the management approaches for DH among United States dentists. One hundred eighty five National Dental Practice-Based Research Network clinicians completed questionnaire regarding their preferred methods diagnose and manage practice setting, beliefs about predisposing factors. Almost all dentists (99%) reported using more than one method DH. Most frequently, they...

Methods A retrospective record review completed 251 rural pediatric patients from Finger Lakes region New York State who had an initial appointment with board-certified dentist located remotely at Eastman Institute Oral Health in Rochester, NY. Proportions were referred specific and proportions whom recommendation...
This investigational study assessed the suppressive effect of 10 percent povidone iodine (PI) coupled with elimination active carious lesions on salivary mutans streptococci (MS) populations in children severe early childhood caries (S-ECC).77 (38 females, 39 males) were treated for S- ECC one session; a 0.2 ml PI solution was applied to dentition after dental surgery completed and immediately wiped off. The subjects aged from 2 5 years (mean = 3.78 years) at baseline. Whole nonstimulated...
To determine the oral health status of US women childbearing age and to analyze effect tobacco smoke on their health.Data from 1999-2004 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey were evaluated for 15-44 years age. The association exposure with untreated caries, mean DMFS, gingivitis, periodontitis examined in bivariate regression analyses controlling potential confounders.The prevalence caries was 25%, gingivitis 49%, 6%. After adjusting confounders, self-reported current smoking a...

This study aimed to identify social, psychological, and contextual factors that influenced attendance at routine oral health visits in a cohort of 189 preschool children who were followed over 2-year period.
Abstract – Objectives: To apply survival analysis to a longitudinal study of the relationship between salivary mutans streptococci (MS) levels at baseline in initially caries‐free children and caries onset deciduous, mixed, permanent dentition. Methods : The Kaplan–Meier method was used compare times for with low MS high baseline. Results Data from 6‐year risk Rochester Finger Lakes Region western New York were utilized this study. Of 464 analyzed, 327 had level 137 Survival analyses showed...
