“…Prediction models which include a variety of factors seem to increase the accuracy of the prediction in young children (Fontana et al, 2010b). A recent study in Singapore showed that caries prediction based on a questionnaire reached a sensitivity/specificity of 0.82/0.81 in 3-to 6-year-olds (Gao et al, 2010). However, additional risk factors (e.g., plaque, bacterial tests, salivary factors, exposure to fluoride) do not seem to markedly improve the prediction in older schoolchildren, adolescents, and adults (Disney et al, 1992;Vanobbergen et al, 2001; Stenlund et al, 2002;Twetman and Fontana, 2009).…”

“…32,95,113,120,121 On a population basis, CRA can identify groups of children at high risk and action can be taken to optimize resource allocation in a public health system to prevent and treat caries. 108,122,123 Several CRA tools have been developed recently which include simple dietary assessment. These include the Pediatric Risk Assessment Tool (PRAT), 10 the CAT 104 and a community screening model with a sensitivity ⁄ specificity of 82% ⁄ 73%.…”

In Australia, caries experience of 6-year-old and 12-year-old children has increased since the mid to late 1990s. Previously, caries rates had declined, attributable to community water fluoridation. The recent caries increase has been attributed speculatively to changes in fluid intake, including increased consumption of sweet drinks and bottled waters. Increasing urbanization and globalization have altered children's diets worldwide, promoting availability and access to processed foods and sweet drinks. Studies in Australia and internationally have demonstrated significant associations between sweet drink intake and caries experience. Despite widespread fluoride availability in contemporary Australian society, the relationship between sugar consumption and caries development continues and restricting sugar intake remains key to caries prevention. Caries risk assessment should be included in treatment planning for all children; parents should be advised of their child's risk level and given information on oral health promotion. Readily-implemented caries risk assessment tools applicable to parents and clinicians are now available. Public health information should increase awareness that consuming sweet drinks can have deleterious effects on the dentition as well as the potential for promoting systemic disease. Restricting sales of sweet drinks and sweet foods and providing healthy food and drinks for purchase in schools is paramount.

“…Data were collected systematically considering demographic (Gender and Age), socioeconomic (Household Income and Paternal Education), dietary habits (Frequency and Type of Diet), hygiene habits (Frequency of Toothbrushing, Sulcus Bleeding Index -SBI and Simplified Oral Hygiene Index -OHI-S) -Box 1. Oral examinations were performed to estimate the dental caries experience on primary (dmft) and permanent (DMFT) according to WHO guidelines [8].…”

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the factors associated with dental caries on primary and permanent dentition of a pediatric dental school clinic users. METHODS: A retrospective study of information collected from 313 dental records obtained from 2011 to 2013. The prevalence of tooth decay on primary (dmft) and permanent dentition (DMFT). Sociodemographic factors, dietary and hygiene habits were analyzed, as well Data were analyzed using Chi-square or Fisher exact test (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Average dmft was 3.47 ± 3.78 and 3.46 ± 3.05 for 0-6 and 7-9 range age, respectively (p = 0.781). Average DMFT was 0.80 ± 1.25 and 3.16 ± 3.72 for the range of 7-9 and ≥ 10 years, respectively (p = 0.00). The restorative treatment need due to dental caries was highly prevalent (78% of dmft and 54% of DMFT). Dmft was associated with paternal education (OR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.13-1.05) and OHI-S (OR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.22-4.66). DMFT was associated with gender (OR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.38-4.01). CONCLUSION: Children assisted in this dental school clinic had a high prevalence of untreated dental caries, mainly associated with paternal education and OHI-S (primary dentition), and gender (permanent dentition).Keywords: Health Services; Epidemiology; Dental caries Cárie dentária na dentição decidua e permanente em uma clínica escola de odontopediatria: prevalência e fatores associados RESUMO OBJETIVO: Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar os fatores associados à cárie dentária na dentição decídua e permanente de usuários de uma clínica pública de Odontopediatria. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo com informações coletadas de 313 prontuários odontológicos obtidos entre 2011 a 2013. Foram analisados a prevalência de cárie dentária na dentição primária (ceo) e permanente (CPO-D), assim como fatores sociodemográficos e hábitos dietéticos e de higiene oral. Os dados foram analisados utilizando teste Qui-quadrado ou exato de Fisher (α = 0,05). RESULTADOS: O ceo-d médio foi de 3,47 ± 3,78 e 3,46 ± 3,05 para as faixas etárias de 0-6 e 7-9, respectivamente (p = 0,781). O CPO-d médio foi de 0,80 ± 1,25 e 3,16 ± 3,72 para as faixas de idade de 7-9 e ≥ 10 anos, respectivamente (p = 0,00). A necessidade de tratamento restaurador devido à cárie dental foi altamente prevalente (78% do ceo-d e 54% do CPO-d). O ceo-d foi associado com educação paterna (OR: 0.37, IC 95%: 0.13-1.05) e IHO-S (OR: 2.39, IC 95%: 1.22-4.66). O DMFT foi associado ao gênero (OR: 2.36, IC 95%: 1.38-4.01). CONCLUSÃO: As crianças atendidas nesta clínica escola de Odontopediatria apresentaram alta prevalência de cárie dentária não tratada, principalmente associada à educação paterna e IHO-S (dentição primária) e gênero (dentição permanente).Palavras-chave: Serviços de saúde; Epidemiologia; Cárie dentária 24 Rev Odonto Cienc 2017;32(1): [23][24][25][26][27] Dental caries in children assisted on a dental school clinic | De Sousa et al.
