To investigate dental students' perceptions and concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, their coping strategies support resources, perceived stress levels.A customized 19-item survey scale (PSS) were applied to undergraduate students from US, Spain, Ireland, Chile, India, Brazil between April 10 July 5, 2020. Linear modeling mediation analysis used explore relationships among demographics, stressors, mechanisms, social support, RESULTS: A total of 4475 responded survey. The majority...
Molar-Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) is a prevalent developmental defect of tooth enamel associated with high burden disease. The present study aimed to survey Australian and Chilean oral health care practitioners (OHCPs) working in public dental facilities compare their knowledge, clinical experience perceptions about MIH. Findings would give insights how current knowledge has penetrated into OHCPs the systems.A mixed-mode regarding MIH was carried out amongst from sector. required...

Abstract Background Developmental hypomineralized lesions of enamel ( DHL ) may represent a significant caries‐risk factor. The aim this study was to determine the association between carious lesion severity and in 6‐ 12‐year‐old schoolchildren from Melbourne, Australia. Methods sample derived randomly selected schools inner Melbourne. A full dental examination performed at school. Socio‐demographic data, caries experience DMFT /dmft/ ICDAS II consequences untreated PUFA /pufa) were...
Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a common disorder of tooth development, which has recently been found to be associated with higher prevalence hypodontia. The aim this international multicentre study determine the association between MIH and other developmental anomalies in different populations.Investigators were trained calibrated for assessment dental ethical approvals obtained each participating country. aimed recruit 584 children without MIH.

Objective: Prior epidemiological surveys revealed that Chile experiences a high burden of oral diseases. However, no prior study has reported estimates untreated dental caries, periodontitis, and edentulism over three-decade period for the country. Using Global Burden Diseases Study (GBD) 2019, objective this is to report trends prevalence, incidence, years-lived with disability (YLDs) due in Chilean older adults between 1990 2019. Methods: Estimates YLDs were produced Chile, by age sex,...
Whether a minimum quantity of saliva inhibit the caries process remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate impact dilutions on an in vitro model using Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilms.S. biofilms were cultivated enamel and root dentin slabs, culture media containing different proportions (v/v): 0%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% saliva, exposed 10% sucrose solution (5 min, 3x/day), with appropriate controls. After 5 (enamel) 4 (dentin) days, demineralization, biomass, viable...
Nutritional supplements have been recommended to cope with malnutrition in elderly persons. In Chile, the Supplementary Nutrition Program for Elderly (PACAM, its Spanish acronym) consists a monthly distribution of low-fat-milk-based drink that contains 8% sucrose. The aim this study was determine whether older persons consuming milk-based higher caries experience when compared those not receiving supplement. A cross-sectional conducted Maule Region Chile. representative sample comprised two...
