Background. Analysis of the results of epidemiological studies of Polish children showed that caries in children can occur very early, and their incidence and intensity increase with age. According to an epidemiological study, 53.8% children at the age of 3 reported an average of 2.4 tooth decay. There is insufficient information about the intensity of decay, the pattern of caries in primary dentition and the treatment undertaken in the group of 3-years-old children with tooth decay.

“…Dental examinations were conducted using a portable chair and examination light by 1 of 2 trained and calibrated examiners. 26 The teeth were dried, and a DenLite (Welch-Allyn Medical Products, Inc, Skaneateles Falls, NY) mirror was used for enhanced lighting. The examination was visual, but a dental explorer was used to confirm questionable findings.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective. Dental caries is a common, chronic disease of childhood. The impact of contemporary changes in beverage patterns, specifically decreased milk intakes and increased 100% juice and soda pop intakes, on dental caries in young children is unknown. We describe associations among caries experience and intakes of dairy foods, sugared beverages, and nutrients and overall diet quality in young children.Methods. Subjects (n ‫؍‬ 642) are members of the Iowa Fluoride Study, a cohort followed from birth. Food and nutrient intakes were obtained from 3-day diet records analyzed at 1 (n ‫؍‬ 636), 2 (n ‫؍‬ 525), 3 (n ‫؍‬ 441), 4 (n ‫؍‬ 410), and 5 (n ‫؍‬ 417) years and cumulatively for 1 through 5 (n ‫؍‬ 396) years of age. Diet quality was defined by nutrient adequacy ratios (NARs) and calculated as the ratio of nutrient intake to Recommended Dietary Allowance/Adequate Intake. Caries were identified during dental examinations by 2 trained and calibrated dentists at 4 to 7 years of age. Examinations were visual, but a dental explorer was used to confirm questionable findings. Caries experience was assessed at both the tooth and the surface levels. Data were analyzed using SAS. The Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare food intakes, nutrient intakes, and NARs of subjects with and without caries experience. Logistic and Tobit regression analyses were used to identify associations among diet variables and caries experience and to develop models to predict caries experience. Not all relationships between food intakes and NARs and caries experience were linear; therefore, categorical variables were used to develop models to predict caries experience. Food and beverage intakes were categorized as none, low, and high intakes, and NARs were categorized as inadequate, low adequate, and high adequate.Results. Subjects with caries had lower median intakes of milk at 2 and 3 years of age than subjects without caries. Subjects with caries had higher median intakes of regular (sugared) soda pop at 2, 3, 4, and 5 years and for 1 through 5 years; regular beverages from powder at 1, 4, and 5 years and for 1 through 5 years; and total sugared beverages at 4 and 5 years than subjects without caries.Logistic regression models were developed for exposure variables at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years and for 1 through 5 years to predict any caries experience at 4 to 7 years of age. Age at dental examination was retained in models at all ages. Children with 0 intake (vs low and high intakes) of regular beverages from powder at 1 year, regular soda pop at 2 and 3 years, and sugar-free beverages from powder at 5 years had a decreased risk of caries experience. High intakes of regular beverages from powder at 4 and 5 years and for 1 through 5 years and regular soda pop at 5 years and for 1 through 5 years were associated with significantly increased odds of caries experience relative to subjects with none or low intakes. Low (vs none or high) intakes of 100% juice at 5 years were associated with decreased caries experience. In general, in...

“…The D 1-D 4 criteria advocate many advantages over the caries criteria used in the past. These include a better means of estimating the need for and recommending appropriate preventive and restorative treatment measures, a more sensitive measure of assessing change in caries status and better means of predicting future caries [16,17,18].The caries bilaterally was higher in older children as compared to younger children. This was expected; as age increases and cariogenic factors continue to exist, more and more contralateral teeth become carious [9].…”

Aim of study: The purpose of the present study was to determine the severity and bilateral occurrence of caries in first permanent molar among 7-12 years old children attending Dental Hospital/ College of Dentistry, University of Baghdad.Material and method:The total sample composed 100 children (55 boys and 45girls) with an age (7-12) years. Those children were attending the Prevention and Pedodontics dental clinic in the College of Dentistry, Baghdad University as a first visit.Information regarding the name, age and gender of the patient was registered prior to the examination.Oral examination were carried out according to the criteria of (WHO 1997).The diagnosis of dental caries was carried out according to the criteria of Manji et al1989.This allows recording decayed lesion by severity.Result: The occurrence of caries was the highest percentage on left side73% than right side (69%) for maxillary teeth while in mandibular teeth the higher percentage was on the right side (92%) than the left side (82%). D 2 was the highest among mandibular and maxillary teeth for both sides in all age group while D 4 was the lowest percentage. The bilateral occurrence of caries was higher in lower jaw (80%) than upper jaw (64%). Concerning the occurrence of bilateral caries severity D 2 registered the highest percentage for upper and lower jaw (26%-20%) respectively. Conclusion: A high bilateral occurrence demands careful prevention strategies including fissure sealants, topical fluoride applications .The knowledge of caries pattern would help clinicians in the formulation of appropriate treatment strategies.

Dental Caries in the Primary Dentition: Assessing Prevalence of Cavitated and Noncavitated Lesions

Abstract: Despite some concern with reliability of diagnosing d1 lesions, it appears that the d1d2-3 criteria are informative and useful in assessing the primary dentition.
