“…Consumption of cream biscuits/cakes once a week, soft drinks every day, sweets/candy several times a week (2–3 times), and tea with sugar are documented risk factors associated with dental caries. [ 12 13 ] These refined and additional sugar provides more carbohydrate source to promote acid production, hence favoring a high DMFT/deft score. Using toothbrush and paste as a cleaning aid and having knowledge about fluoride in the same group with aforementioned quoted favorable eating habits for the causation of dental caries can be attributed to the social desirability to provide correct answers, similar views were expressed in studies by Ahamad et al .,[ 14 ] Al-Darwish,[ 15 ] and Al-Samadani et al .…”

A BSTRACT Background: Effects of consanguineous marriage on human population are known. However, the inherited susceptibility to dental caries is unfortunately quite limited. Aim: This study aimed to assess the dental caries status (DMFT/deft [decayed-missed-filling teeth/decayed-extracted-filled teeth] index) in children born out of consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages. Design: Household survey using a cross-sectional study design was planned, with a sample size of 2000 comprising (1600 non-consanguineous and 400 consanguineous) children, aged 6–9 years. Household survey was also planned using a systematic random sampling. Researcher conducted the study by visiting every 10th household of every 10th ward of Aligarh city, Uttar Pradesh, India. Information of risk factors for dental caries (sociodemographic, birth order, oral hygiene, feeding practices) was recorded on a pretested questionnaire with clinical examination of DMFT/deft index. Analysis: Student t test for equality of means and multivariate logistic regression were used. Results: By Student t test for equality of means, D component ( P = 0.003), d component ( P < 0.001), and deft score ( P < 0.001) were statistically significant in the consanguineous group. Multivariate logistic regression did not deduce any association of either of the study groups, but a significant association of risk factors with dental caries was observed. Conclusion: Dental caries that has multifactorial etiology, both environment and genetic factors, had an influence on the causation of dental caries in this study.

“…The oral health degree was determined by summation the score for each question: frequency of brushing teeth (score: 0 or 2), visit a dentist for a check-up (0 or 2), calculus removal (0 or 2), smoking (0 or 1 or 2), gingival bleeding (0 or 2), tooth mobility (0 or 2), tooth cavity (0 or 2), toothache (0 or 2), bad breath (0 or 2). The category of oral health: good (score 0-6), moderate (score 7-12), week (score [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The design of this study is the same as the research design that we have reported previously, 4, but this study report focuses on a more detailed description of oral health status.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic situation has affected community activities, work, income whichdecreased, psychological disorders such as stress, and limited accessibility to dental practice service,which is now for emergency cases only. This condition can affect oral health in the community. Thisstudy aimed to assess the oral health condition in the community during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thisstudy was implementing a cross-sectional research design. Data were obtained from onlinequestionnaires with the respondent's consent. The sample selection with inclusion criteria comprised 1960yearsoldwholivedinBandungWestJava.Theself-reportquestionnairefororalhealthassessmentwasfollowed,thepreviousresearch,byLevinetal.,2013.Ithasbeentrans-adaptedtoBahasaIndonesiaandvalidated.Respondentsofthestudywere380participants.Poororalhygienemaintenancewasthewrongfrequencyofbrushingteeth(12.1%),onlyvisitingthedentistwhenhavingatoothache(72.9%),andsmoking(7.9%).Oralhealthproblemsincludegingivalbleedingonbrushing(15.3%),toothmobility(13.2%),tooth cavities (62.9%), toothache (27.1%), and bad breath (22.6%). Most of the oral healthproblems were tooth cavities followed by toothache. The contributing factors include poor oral hygienemaintenance, improper brushing, smoking habits, and infrequent dental care. Furthermore, theaccessibility and availability of services in dental practice in the pandemic situation are limited.Therefore, it is reasonable to say that oral self-examination probably could minimize the distancingrelatedprobleminthisCovid-19pandemicsituationandbehelpfulintheearlydetectionoforalhealthproblems.KEYWORDS: assessment, Covid-19 pandemic, oral health

A BSTRACT Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference in severity of caries code 5 or 6 according to the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) among caries risk groups in Pendul district. Materials and Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 730 people who were residing in Pendul district belonged to population of this study. One of the inclusion criteria of this study was the people who were ≥5 years old according to World Health Organization. On the basis of our preliminary survey, we confirmed 660 people who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The subjects were selected using the accidental simple random sampling. Slovin’s formula was used with margin of error 8% to obtain the 138 subjected people. Of the 138 subjects studied, there were only 87 people who could be included in the further inclusion criteria by having dental caries code 5 or 6 according to ICDAS. The Kruskal–Wallis statistical test was used to analyze the differences as the data belong to nonparametric and there were three variable groups. Next, the Mann–Whitney U was used to test the differences between these variables. Results: The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the severity of caries among caries risk groups ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: The higher the caries risk the higher the caries severity that was observed. This result supported the potential use of caries risk assessment as a predictive and supportive tool to prevent the increasing caries severity in the community.
