“…e caries prevalence of primary, permanent, and whole dentition obtained in this study were much higher than the criteria set by the WHO [30] and the values presented in similar age groups of children in developed countries [21,[31][32][33][34]. Moreover, the caries prevalence found in this study resulted higher than those reported in several studies carried out in other Asian countries such as Yemen [15], India [20], Malaysia [35], and China [36]. ese findings may be explained as below.…”

“…As was previously stated, early loosing of the primary teeth could result in early eruption of the permanent teeth. erefore, at older ages, the permanent teeth were more exposed to factors influencing caries presence [36]. Another reason could be attributed to the inappropriateness of oral hygiene practices among studied children [22,37,38].…”

“…is may be due to lack of awareness about health caring and retaining of primary teeth as well as the parental attitude that the primary teeth are exchangeable by permanent teeth and are not important [21,38,39]. Consequently, it has been led to early exfoliation and/or extraction of the teeth which resulted in reduced number of primary teeth at older ages [36,38]. is result is in agreement with findings reported in studies accomplished by Joshi et al [22], Yabao et al [38], Wu et al [40], and Gatou et al [37].…”

Introduction. Dental caries is the most common oral health disease of school-aged children around the world. In this study, we aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of dental caries in primary schoolchildren in Yasuj township, Iran. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 460 children aged 7–12 years were investigated. Dental examination was performed at school according to the World Health Organization criteria. Sociodemographic data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and caries statuses of children’s teeth were recorded through a dental chart. Data were analyzed using summary statistics, chi-square test, and logistic regression model with odds ratio. Results. The prevalence of dental caries in primary, permanent, and whole dentition among children was 75.3%, 41.1%, and 89.8%, respectively. Among all considered factors, the caries presence in primary teeth was inversely (p<0.001) and in permanent teeth was positively (p<0.001) associated with the children’s age. Moreover, the odds of decaying permanent teeth were significantly higher in girls, in rural children, and in children whose fathers were not an employee compared to their counterparts (p=0.04, p<0.001, and p=0.02, respectively). Conclusions. The prevalence of dental caries among the studied primary schoolchildren in mixed dentition was high and associated with their sociodemographic factors. Providing and implementing preventive, therapeutic, and informative programs for controlling dental caries at individual, family, and school levels are necessary for local health policymakers.

Aim:Determination of skeletal and dental age is very essential for Pediatric dentist and orthodontist to formulate a treatment plan, and it is a source of supplemental information for Pediatrics, Orthopedics, and Forensics. There are no available studies in the literature about the comparison of dental and bone age with chronological age in obese children of south India. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare dental age, bone age, and chronological age in obese children of south India.Materials and Methods:Ethical approval was obtained from the ethical committee of college, and informed consent was obtained from parents of the study participants. A total of 100 obese study participants were selected between 8 to 14 years age group. Date of birth was considered to obtain chronological age. Demirjian's method was used to assess dental age. Bjork, Grave, and Brown's method was followed to detect bone age using hand-wrist radiograph. The comparison of three ages was done using the unpaired Student's t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient.Results:Dental age and bone age were advanced in comparison to chronological age in both sexes and its statistically significant (P < 0.001). There was a positive correlationship between three ages in both sexes.Conclusion:As per our study, dental age and bone age were advanced in obese children, but dental age was more advanced. Dental age and bone age can be considered as variables for diagnosing the impact of growth in obese children. In the future, further studies are required to support our findings.

“…Because of long working hours, migrant parents usually have little time to communicate with their children, even though they desire to have more interaction with their kids (Feng, 2015 ). At the same time, migrant children had to turn to privately-operated migrant schools, which are usually under-funded, have bad environmental facilities and lack adequate teaching compared to public schools (Liu, Zhou, & Feng, 2016 ). It was found that rural migrant students were exposed to more risks but are not more delinquency-prone than non-migrant students (Liu & Liu, 2016 ).…”

Every child deserves a fair chance in life. However, migrant children are at higher risk of developing mental health problems. The problem of migrant children who have left their hukou registration place for 6 months or longer with their parents from rural areas to cities in China has become a unique social issue in the social transformation of China. However, even up to this day, little is known about life satisfaction of migrant children in small and medium-sized cities. To investigate the current situation of migrant children’s life satisfaction, several scales including Chinese Adolescent Students’ Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, Social Economic Status Scale, Social Support Rating Scale and big five inventory were used to obtain data on 142 migrant children and 165 local primary school students. Results showed that migrant children’s life satisfaction was significantly lower when compared to local non-migrant students. The study also highlighted that subjective and objective support, utilization of support, conscientiousness and parent’s educational level were predictive factors of life satisfaction. Migrant children’ life satisfaction was not optimistic and social support was significantly influencing factors of migrant children’s life satisfaction, so they need a support system of government, school, community, family to help them through difficulties.
