“…The present study could not demonstrate a relationship between the counts of supragingival bacteria and the caries experience (DMFT/dmft). A relationship between caries experience and caries-related salivary bacterial counts (mutans streptococci and lactobacilli) assessed using CRT Bacteria ® was found in the same study sample [9]. In the present study, no relationship between the bacteria quantified in the pooled plaque samples and the caries experience was found.…”

“…One part aimed at describing the caries experience in relation to various caries-related factors and a clear association between chair-side salivary bacterial counts and caries experience was found [9]. Another part was designed to determine if pooled interproximal plaque samples analysed using the “checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridisation technique” could reflect the caries experience.…”

BackgroundDental caries develops as a result of the metabolism of carbohydrates by cariogenic bacteria present in a complex biofilm. The present study aimed to examine if bacteria in pooled supragingival plaque samples quantified using a “checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization” based panel of caries-related bacteria, could reflect the caries experience in a manner similar to saliva samples analysed using a chair-side method in a previous investigation.MethodsA total of 86 mothers and their children aged 4–6 years and 12–16 years old participated. Caries experience (DMFT/dmft; Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth for permanent and primary teeth) was registered clinically and radiographically. Caries was recorded at the D3 level (caries into dentine). The D/d component was divided into three categories. A pooled supragingival plaque sample per participant was obtained from posterior approximal sites. Analyses of 15 bacterial species were performed using the checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridisation technique.ResultsNo significant relationships were found between the bacterial scores and DMFT/dmft nor D/d groups.ConclusionsUnlike the saliva samples and the chair-side method, interproximal pooled plaque samples analysed using the “checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization technique” did not reveal any significant relations between the bacterial counts and the caries experience.

“…In terms of number of family members, this was not a factor with statistical significance in the present study, disagreeing with the findings by Mannaa et al 25 in 2013, where pediatric patients with large families and parents with low education levels showed negative behaviors during dental care. These results are similar to the findings by Kade et al, 21 who concluded that children's behavior during dental consultation was influenced by the parents' educational level, showing an increase in inappropriate behavior by children as schooling decreases.…”

ABSTRACT. Introduction: the goal of this study was to describe the social skills, behavior, and related problems of children during dental consultation at a teaching care center in the city of Cartagena, Colombia. Methods: this was a cross sectional study in 205 children aged 5 to 8 years receiving dental treatment in the area of study and evaluated by the Frankl scale, the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales (PKBS), and a survey about family and socio-demographic factors. The analysis was performed by means of averages (±DE), t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (Anova), INTRODUCCIÓNEl comportamiento social de un individuo está constituido por aspectos positivos como la competencia social, la cual se refiere a la eficacia en las interacciones que ofrece la posibilidad de desarrollar conductas organizadas, que pueden ser útiles y manifestarse durante el transcurso de la vida, lo que permite la percepción por parte de las personas que rodean a los individuos. Otro de los aspectos positivos es el desarrollo de habilidades sociales, que permiten mostrar comportamientos sociales específicos durante las interacciones sociales. Además, existen aspectos negativos constituidos por los problemas de conducta, que pueden ser externalizantes, como las discusiones y agresiones o internalizantes, como la ansiedad, la depresión y el aislamiento. 1Algunos estudios han incluido la evaluación de la competencia social y los problemas de conducta, presentando resultados que muestran una relación que puede ser inversa, en donde la existencia de alguna no implica directamente que la otra se encuentre ausente, sino que, más bien, brinda la oportunidad de reflexionar respecto a la forma de relacionar las habilidades sociales y los problemas de conducta, pues algunas de las personas analizadas, que muestran valores bajos en las escalas de problemas de conducta, pueden tener también niveles de competencia social escasos, al igual que el desarrollo de habilidades. 2En lo que refiere al comportamiento de los niños, específicamente en la consulta odontológica, se ha reportado que puede ser de tipo agresivo, histérico, temeroso o aprensivo.3 Estos comportamientos se han relacionado con las etapas de crecimiento y desarrollo de cada niño, las características de salud, las condiciones socio-culturales de los padres y otros elementos de influencia, no tan directa, pero que tienen importantes implicaciones. Dentro de estos se pueden resaltar las relaciones de los niños con sus padres, profesores y otros niños en diversos contextos como la iglesia, instituciones laborales de los padres y la comunidad. 4,5

“…Poor habits (e.g., diet and nutritional habits) and life-styles (e.g., sedentary) that eventually lead to most of the chronic diseases humanity suffers from, including dental caries, are initiated during youth and reinforced by sociopolitical policies and environmental conditions [15]. A recent study found that the Saudi Arabian children's caries experiences and related behaviors are similar to those of mothers (DMFT/dmft of mothers and children were high: 12.4 and 9, respectively) [16]. DMFT describes the prevalence of dental caries in an individual by calculating the number of Decayed (D), Missing (M), and Filled (F) Teeth (T).…”

This comprehensive community health intervention aimed to improve the oral health and reduce the incidence of dental caries in Tabuk schoolchildren. The program supports the public health pyramid that provides a framework to improve health and included creating and evaluating a school oral health surveillance system, applying fluoride varnish and dental sealants on high-and medium-caries risk children, and providing treatment for existing diseases. In a pilot phase, 48 children (26 males 22 females; mean age 6.42; dmft 9.33, Decayed, Missing, or Filled Primary and Permanent Teeth (DMFT) 3.27) received the dental services, both treatment and prevention. Three hundred seventyeight composite resin or resin-modified light-cured glass ionomer restorations were placed. One-hundred and eighteen teeth received pulp therapy (pulpotomy or pulpectomy), ten of which received stainless steel crowns. A total of 72 teeth were extracted due to caries. To understand the effects of dental disease on children, as perceived by parents, an oral healthrelated quality of life survey was completed and analyzed. Results found an underestimation of the role the teeth play, particularly primary teeth, in the general health and wellbeing of the child. The program's main evaluation effort focused on the process and outcome objectives, including the number of children received care, number of teeth received restorations and sealants, and number of children received fluoride varnish, etc. Analyzing the effect of the program on oral hygiene revealed an improvement in oral health, as a direct result of oral health educational sessions and one-to-one counseling. There is an urgent need to expand the program to include all primary schools. OPEN ACCESS Dent. J. 2014, 2 23
