“…This is consistent with previous reports 15,16) . Bernabe et al 16) investigated the relationship between daily smoking and caries increment in adults. They found that daily smoking was related to net decayed teeth (DT) increment over a 4-year period but not to net filled teeth (FT), missing teeth (MT), or DMFT increments.…”

“…Previous reports have revealed that the factors contributing to tooth decay in adults are low education, unemployment, low income, low social class, smoking, irregular dental attendance, being male, daily medication, and being single [7][8][9][10]15,16) . Our results revealed no relationship between personal income and tooth decay.…”

Objective: Continuous or frequent overtime work has been shown to have harmful effects on human health. Meanwhile, one of the main reasons for tooth loss is caries. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between overtime work and untreated decayed teeth in male financial workers.Methods: The participants were recruited by applying screening procedures to a pool of Japanese registrants in an online database. Participants filled out a questionnaire about their oral health, behavior, and working conditions. Participants comprised a total of 951 financial male workers, aged 25-64 years.Results: The likelihood of tooth decay increased with amount of overtime work (p=0.002). After adjusting for age, income, educational background, oral hygiene behavior, snacking behavior, regular dental visitation, bad interpersonal relationships at work, and smoking habit, a multiple logistic regression analysis found that participants with 45-80 h of overtime work (odds ratio [OR], 2.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23-5.33) or over 80 h of overtime work (OR, 3.01; 95% CI, 1.13-7.97) were more likely to have untreated tooth decay. The percentage of participants who gave "too busy with work" as the reason for leaving decayed teeth untreated increased with amount of overtime (p<0.001).Conclusion: These results indicate that overtime work is strongly related to untreated decayed teeth. In addition to oral health education and dental checkups, decreasing stress and decreasing the amount of overtime work may also have a positive effect on oral health in the workplace.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the oral health problems and behavior of full-time male daytime-only and night shift office workers. Methods: The participants were recruited by applying screening procedures to a pool of Japanese registrants in an online database. During the period of 20 February 2015 to 11 March 2015, participants were asked to complete a questionnaire about their oral health. A total of 325 daytime-only workers and 351 workers who sometimes worked night shifts, ages 30 to 69, were analyzed in this study. Results: Overall, the mean number of teeth of the night shift workers was lower than that of the daytime-only workers (p=0.002). When analyzed by age group, a significant difference was seen in the 50-69 age group (p=0.016). The percentage of night shift workers with decayed teeth was higher than that of the daytime-only workers (p<0.001). The night shift workers were more likely to report gingival bleeding (p=0.015) and stomatitis (p=0.025) than the daytime-only workers. The percentage of night shift workers reporting frequent brushing behavior was lower than that of the daytime-only workers (p=0.040). The independent variables found to correlate significantly with tooth decay were night shift work (OR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.20-2.67), current smoking habit (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.13-2.46), and BMI of ≥25 (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.02-2.39). Conclusions: These results indicate a relationship between night shift work and oral health problems. Night shift workers may require additional support for oral health maintenance.

“…Smoking status was derived from answers to four questions: “have you ever smoked?,” “have you ever smoked regularly (daily for at least 1 year),” “have you smoked at least 100 times?” and “when did you last smoke?” Daily smokers were those who met all following conditions: smoked at least 100 times in their lifetime, regularly for at least 1 year and most recently the day of the survey or the previous day (WHO, ). This definition has been used in previous analysis of the same data (Kanhai et al., ; Bernabe, Delgado‐Angulo, Vehkalahti, Aromaa, & Suominen, ; Sabbah, Suominen, Vehkalahti, Aromaa, & Bernabe, ). Dental attendance pattern was reported on a 3‐point response scale (regularly for check‐ups, only when in trouble or never).…”

Daily smoking and 4‐year caries increment in Finnish adults

Abstract: Daily smoking was independently related to caries development (net DT increment) in adults over 4 years, but not to caries treatment (net FT and MT increments) or caries experience (net DMFT increment).
