“…This result is incompatible with Shingare et al that stated in mixed dentition period, DMFT caries experience was higher because of the anatomy of the tooth that had not been fully calcified and therefore more susceptible to caries [4].…”

Abstract-Down Syndrome (DS) is type of mental disability caused by genetic disorder in chromosome 21. DS causes inability to maintain oral hygiene thus dental caries are commonly found in children with DS. Purpose of this research is to study the difference between caries experience and saliva condition and determine the relationship between caries experience with saliva condition in DS and normal children aged 6-18 years old in Medan Helvetia and Medan Timur district. This research was conducted in observational analytic manner with cross sectional design. Subjects were 30 DS and 30 normal children aged 6-18 years old in Medan Helvetia and Medan Timur district. Data collection was done using clinical examination based on deft/DMFT index by WHO and saliva examination using GC Saliva Check Buffer Kit. Statistical analysis showed that there were no significant differences in deft between DS and normal children, and there was a significant difference in DMFT in DS and normal children. Statistical analysis also showed significant difference in saliva condition (pH, buffer capacity, flow rate, and volume), and there was significant relationship between caries experience (deft/DMFT) with saliva condition in DS and normal children aged 6-18 years old in Medan Helvetia and Medan Timur district. Deft caries experience in DS children is almost similar as in normal children, while DMFT caries experience in DS children is higher than normal. Result showed that saliva condition in DS is lower than in normal children. Saliva condition can affect caries experience in DS and normal children.

“…An epidemiological survey of 472 normal children aged 7-14 years in India showed a fairly high caries prevalence, which was 80.92%. Results obtained showed that the mean DMFT scores at aged 7-10 and 11-14 years were 4.47 and 2.66 [4]. Several research also showed a high prevalence of caries in children with Down syndrome.…”

Background: Dental caries remain the main oral disease with greatest socioeconomic impact that correlates with lifestyle specifically dietary patterns and oral hygiene practices. Being a cumulative process, the numbers of individuals affected increase with age. This study aimed at determining the occurrence of dental caries among adult patients attending a public regional hospital. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional studies involving 436 adult patients who attended at Musoma Referral Hospital for dental care. Patients were systematically examined for dental caries, which were scored as per WHO criteria.Results: Among 436 patients 256 (58.7%) were female, with male to female ratio of 1: 1.42. The mean age was 36.9 ± 15.61 years with range of 18 to 91 years. One or more carious tooth was observed in 87.8%, the 18 to 29 years was the age group most affected. The mean decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) was 4.67 ± 0.19 whereby the D (decayed) component had the highest proportion 3.01 ± 0.12, and F (filled) component the lowest 0.1 ± 0.03. On average the M (missing) teeth was 1.57 ± 0.12. When compared within the gender the mean D component was significantly higher among female (p < 0.05). Conclusion:The caries observed occur more in females and in younger age group. The observed DMFT is much higher than population average since this is a cohort of patients seeking care. There is high D component and very low F component of DMFT mainly due to lack, and to some extent low utilization of restorative dental services.
