Background We aimed to analyse the oral health status of adolescents in Shandong province, including dental caries and gingivitis, and their associated factors. Methods Adolescents aged 12–15-years in Shandong province were recruited. Caries and gingival status were assessed following the World Health Organisation diagnostic criteria. Information including the sociodemographic, oral hygiene knowledge, attitudes and practices were collected through the questionnaire. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the oral diseases associated factors. Results In total, 3868 students (50.2% males) were enrolled. Of these, 39.9% of the participants experienced caries, and 81.7% and 31.3% had calculus and bleeding gingival, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that there was an association between dental caries and toothaches, dental visits and sleeping troubles caused by oral problems (P < 0.024). A low-frequency of brushing, high sugar consumption and no flossing were more associated with calculus formation and gingival bleeding (P < 0.008). Conclusion Compared to caries, worse gingival condition was more prevalent among adolescents in Shandong province. Brushing behaviour is associated with gingivitis, while dental visits and toothaches are associated with caries. Hence, prevention-oriented dental visits and oral hygiene training are strongly recommended to improve oral health status.

Objective: We aimed to analyse the oral health status of adolescents in Shandong province, including dental caries and gingivitis, and the relevant risk indicators.Methods: Adolescents aged 12-15-years in Shandong province were recruited. Caries and gingival status were assessed following the World Health Organisation diagnostic criteria. Information including the sociodemographic, oral hygiene knowledge, attitudes and practices were collected through the questionnaire. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the independent risk indicators.Results: In total, 3,868 students (50.2% males) were enrolled. Of these, 39.9% of the participants experienced caries, and 81.7% and 31.3% had calculus and bleeding gums, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that there was an association between an increased risk of caries with toothaches, dental visits and sleeping troubles caused by oral problems (P < 0.024). A low-frequency of brushing, high sugar consumption and no flossing increased the risk of calculus formation and gum bleeding (P < 0.008).Conclusion: Compared to caries, worse gingival condition was more prevalent among adolescents in Shandong province and was not taken seriously. Brushing behaviour is associated with gingivitis, while dental visits and toothaches are associated with caries. Hence, prevention-oriented dental visits and oral hygiene training are strongly recommended to improve oral health status.Trial registration: Not applicable.

“…Industrial products are consumed by a small but growing portion of the population 35 . Their drinking water is obtained from deep artesian wells, where the fluoride concentration varied from 0.01 to 0.07 mg/L 36 Kiriri population is covered for dental care through the support of DSEI Bahia, responsible for planning, offering health services, and visiting communities. However, at the time of the research, transport limitations and cultural differences were considered factors that reduced the demand for dental care.…”

This study evaluated the dental prosthesis needs and associated factors in indigenous Brazilian adults from Northeastern Brazil. Dental prosthesis needs were assessed in a representative sample of 225 Indians. Edentulous area and current indication for tooth extraction according to periodontal status or non-restorable condition were registered in a clinical chart. Bivariate and logistic analyses were applied to assess associations of dental prosthesis needs and prosthesis type with age, sex, income, education, smoking, moderate or severe periodontitis, plaque index, dental caries experience, and previous dental visit. Prosthetic treatment was necessary in 83% of the participants. These individuals required 339 dental prostheses, including removable partial dentures (60.2%), fixed (33.6%), and complete dentures (6.2%). Regression analysis showed that age ≥35 years [odds ratio (OR) 5.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.97–17.91, p=0.002] and caries experience ≥3 [OR 4.01, 95%CI 1.78–9.02, p=0.001] were significantly associated with prosthesis needs. The type of prosthesis required was associated with sex, age, educational level, periodontitis, caries experience, and plaque index (p≤0.03). In conclusion, the need for prosthetic rehabilitation was high in this population, and sociodemographic factors, dental plaque level, caries experience, and periodontitis were associated with the required type of prosthesis. These data can be used to plan the allocation of resources to promote preventive and curative strategies in this population. Keywords: Indians, South American. Dental Prosthesis. Oral Health. Cross-Sectional Studies ResumoEste estudo avaliou as necessidades de prótese dentária e fatores associados em adultos indígenas brasileiros do Nordeste do Brasil. As necessidades de prótese dentária foram avaliadas em uma amostra representativa de 225 índios. A área edêntula e a indicação para extração dental, de acordo com o estado periodontal ou condição não restaurável, foram registradas em um prontuário clínico. Análises bivariadas e logísticas foram aplicadas para avaliar as associações das necessidades de prótese dentária e tipo de prótese com idade, sexo, renda, escolaridade, tabagismo, periodontite moderada ou grave, índice de placa, experiência de cárie dentária e consulta odontológica anterior. O tratamento protético foi necessário em 83% dos participantes. Esses indivíduos necessitaram de 339 próteses dentárias, incluindo próteses parciais removíveis (60,2%), fixas (33,6%) e próteses totais (6,2%). A análise de regressão mostrou que idade ≥35 anos [odds ratio (OR) 5,95, intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC) 1,97–17,91, p=0,002] e experiência de cárie ≥3 [OR 4,01, IC 95% 1,78–9,02, p=0,001] foram significativamente associados às necessidades de prótese. O tipo de prótese necessária foi associado ao sexo, idade, escolaridade, periodontite, experiência de cárie e índice de placa (p≤0,02). Em conclusão, a necessidade de reabilitação protética foi alta nesta população e fatores sociodemográficos, nível de placa dentária, experiência de cárie e periodontite foram associados ao tipo de prótese necessária. Estes dados podem ser usados para planejar a alocação de recursos para promover estratégias preventivas e curativas nessa população. Palavras-chave: Índios Sul-Americanos. Prótese Dentária.
