Community Dent Oral Epidemiol 2011; 39: 105–114. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S Abstract – Background: The presence can produce an impact the children their parents, affecting health well-being. However, socioeconomic factors could confound this association, but it has not been yet tested at age. Objective: To assess early childhood...
This study evaluated the feasibility of using International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II) in epidemiological surveys compared ICDAS with WHO criteria. Two hundred fifty-two children (36–59 months old) Amparo, Brazil, were each examined by 2 examiners ICDAS-II or Dmf-t, dmf-s, caries prevalence examination time calculated both systems. was comparable to standard criteria when cut-off point score 3. Examination took twice as long In conclusion, ICDAS-II, besides providing...
To assess the ability of two chemical and a microbiological methods to produce dentine caries lesions resembling naturally developed lesions.Forty sound second primary molars were divided into four experimental groups according method artificial lesions: (1) (negative control); (2) acidified gel; (3) pH-cycling; (4) microbiological, all for 14 days. Ten presenting natural comprised (5) positive control group. After induction, samples longitudinally sectioned polished in order obtain Knoop...
The presence of traumatic dental injuries and malocclusions can have a negative impact on quality life young children their parents, affecting oral health well-being. aim this study was to assess the anterior malocclusion traits Oral Health-Related Quality Life (OHRQoL) between 2 5 years-old.Parents 260 answered six domains Early Childhood Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) perception OHRQoL (outcome). Two calibrated dentists assessed types (Kappa = 0.9) 1.0). measured using ECOHIS. Poisson...
Determining the factors associated with NCCLs and DH in populations could guide implementation of specific preventive measures. This study evaluated clinical features non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) dentin hypersensitivity (DH) a Brazilian population. The participants were 118 patients at Dentistry Clinic our dental school. They completed an interview to obtain personal information determine possible DH. Clinical examination was undertaken record NCCLs, shape lesion certain occlusal...
Background The etiology of molar‐incisor hypomineralization (MIH) remains unknown. Studies indicate that it is multifactorial, and genetic environmental factors are involved. Research with twins provides important subsidy to investigate the Influence genetics act during pregnancy on alterations. Aim This cross‐sectional study evaluated agreement molar incisor ( MIH ) between monozygotic dizygotic twin pairs association factors. Design sample consisted 167 (8–15 years old), 94 73 dizygotic....
Abstract Background The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on behavioural and psychosocial aspects related to oral health is unknown. Aim This study evaluated changes in adolescents immediately before during period COVID‐19, enabling a longitudinal assessment perceived changes. Design cohort 290 from November 2019 February 2020 (T1—before Brazil) June July (T2) southern Brazil. Sociodemographic, behavioural, variables were measured pandemic. Issues social distancing job loss also collected....
Objective: Secondary caries lesions adjacent to restorations, a leading cause of restoration failure, require accurate diagnostic methods ensure an optimal treatment outcome. Traditional strategies rely on visual inspection complemented by radiographs. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning, provide potential improvements detection. This study aimed develop convolutional neural network (CNN)-based algorithm for detecting primary and secondary around...
This consensus paper provides recommendations for oral health professionals on why and how to assess caries activity progression with special respect the site of a lesion.
This in vivo study aimed to compare the performance of different methods approximal caries detection primary molars. Fifty children (aged 5–12 years) were selected, and 2 examiners evaluated 621 surfaces molars using: (a) visual inspection, (b) radiographic method (c) a pen-type laser fluorescence device (LFpen). As reference standard method, teeth separated using orthodontic rubbers during 7 days, by for presence white spots or cavitations. The area under receiver-operating characteristics...
This in vitro study of occlusal surfaces on primary molars aimed to: (1) evaluate the reproducibility Nyvad and ICDAS-II visual systems detecting caries; (2) to test accuracy estimating lesion depth, (3) examine association between system Lesion Activity Assessment system, an adjunct ICDAS-II. Two samples extracted (sample 1, n = 38; sample 2, 69) were evaluated independently by 2 examiners. In this study, evaluation plaque was not possible. Histology 2) used validate depth. Area under ROC...
This study aimed to compare the clinical performance of two sets visual scoring criteria for detecting caries severity and assessing activity status in occlusal surfaces. Two systems – Nyvad (NY) ICDAS-II including an adjunct system lesion assessment (ICDAS-LAA) were compared using 763 primary molars 139 children aged 3–12 years. The examinations performed by 2 calibrated examiners. A subsample (n = 50) was collected after extraction histology with 0.1% red methyl dye validate depth...
Abstract Background Despite the importance of collecting individual data socioeconomic status (SES) in epidemiological oral health surveys with children, this procedure relies on parents as respondents. Therefore, type school (public or private schools) could be used an alternative indicator SES, instead individually. The aim study was to evaluate use variable a substitute survey about dental caries Brazilian preschool children. Methods This followed cross-sectional design, random sample 411...
Abstract Background Disparities in utilization of oral healthcare services have been attributed to socioeconomic and individual behavioral factors. Parents’ status, demographics, schooling, perceptions health may influence their children’s use dental services. This cross-sectional study assessed the relationships between psychosocial factors by children aged 1–5 years. Methods Data were collected through clinical exams a structured questionnaire administered during National Day Children’s...
The resin-based pit and fissure sealant is considered a successful tool in caries prevention, however there growing evidence of its use controlling already established posterior teeth. aim this clinical trial to verify the efficacy sealants arresting dentinal lesions compared partial excavation restorative treatment primary molar Thirty six patients with occlusal cavitated reaching outer half dentin were selected. randomly allocated into two groups: application (experimental group – n = 17)...
We assessed the inequality in distribution of dental caries and association between indicators socioeconomic status experience a representative sample schoolchildren. This study followed cross-sectional design, with 792 schoolchildren aged 12 years, this age group Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. Guardians answered questions on examination provided information (DMF-T). Inequality was measured by Gini coefficient Significant Caries Index (SiC). The assessment used Poisson regression models....
