“…Inspite of this, we observed that the severity of dental caries in the deciduous teeth increased markedly along with the age of the children. Similar data were reported using the pufa index in 5- to 7-year-olds in the Bialystok district in Poland [ 21 ] and in a study by Shankar et al [ 22 ] using the def index in a group of Indian children. The results clearly show that the neglect of caries treatment at an early stage increases the risk and severity of its clinical consequences over time.…”

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of the clinical consequences of untreated dental caries in primary dentition among 6- to 8-year-old children using the prs [pulpal involvement (p), roots (r) and sepsis (s)] index and record the distribution of prs among boys and girls.Subjects and Methods: The study included a sample of 371 children aged 6-8 years with at least one carious primary molar tooth, who had been randomly selected from schools in the districts of Raipur and Durg, Chhattisgarh State, India. We recorded the presence of decayed, extracted and filled (i.e. def) teeth. The prevalence of the consequences of untreated dental caries was evaluated using the prs index. The data were statistically analyzed to express the prevalence of prs among boys and girls and the distribution of individual prs codes in the sample population. Results: The prevalence of carious lesions was very high (87%) and teeth with clinical consequences of untreated dental caries were found in 49.3% of the children. The prs distribution in children who were 8 years old (40.9%) was higher than in the 6-year-old children (25.6%). In the group of 8-year-olds, the occurrence of prs was greater among the boys whereas in the 6- and 7-year-old group, it was greater among the girls. Conclusion: The prs index is a valuable tool for measuring the clinical consequences of untreated dental caries. It could be useful for epidemiological studies and provide relevant information regarding treatment needs.

“…Several standardized dental assessment criteria are available and widely used to evaluate dental caries through visual-tactile examination, e.g., decayed/missing/filled teeth/surfaces (DMFT/S) [57][58][59][60]; the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) core criteria I and II [61][62][63]; and Nyvad Caries Diagnostic Criteria [64][65][66]. Imaging modalities include radiographs and digital photography.…”

“…Only a few epidemiological studies have been conducted and reported in such centers. The existing studies in India conducted among preschool children have used WHO criteria and Nyvad's new diagnostic criteria in detecting caries. ICDAS is currently a recommended method for detecting caries and has been found to be feasible in epidemiological surveys conducted in preschool children.…”
