“…The prevalence (and incidence) of dental caries in preschool children can be very high, as was illustrated in several studies [1][2][3][4][5]. According to a recent review on dental caries experience in young children, prevalence data for 5-yearolds varied between 29% in Denmark, 39% in Norway, 40% in England and Wales, 43% in Greece and 55% in Scotland [6].…”

The main objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for the incidence of visible caries experience in a cohort of preschool children living in Flanders. Data were collected from 1,057 children; validated questionnaires on oral health-related behaviour were completed by parents at birth (2003)(2004), at age 3 (2007) and 5 years (2009). At ages 3 and 5, the children were examined by trained dentists. Logistic regression analyses were performed with the following as outcome variables: visible caries experience at age 3 and increment in visible caries experience between ages 3 and 5. At ages 3 and 5, enamel and/or dentinal caries experience was observed in 22% and 41% of the cohort, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that the presence of visible plaque accumulation on at least one primary tooth was a significant risk factor for visible caries experience at age 3 and for an increment in caries experience between ages 3 and 5. Children with previous caries experience at age 3 had significantly higher odds for new caries lesions at age 5. Presence of visible plaque and previous caries experience are confirmed as significant risk factors for visible caries experience in preschool children. Interventions aimed at caries prevention should focus on very young children and on the control of plaque accumulation. The presence of visible plaque accumulation as a screening tool to identify young children at risk for future caries experience shows high potential.

“…Because the second primary molars erupt four years earlier in life than the first permanent molars, DMH is a clinically useful predictor for MIH [4]. Due to the enamel hypomineralisation, MIH and DMH teeth are more prone to caries [7], [8]. MIH causes discomfort for the child, even without caries since the affected teeth are reported to be very sensitive for cold and heat [8], the same seems to be the case for DMH.…”

BackgroundDeciduous Molar Hypomineralisation (DMH) and Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation (MIH) are common developmental disturbances in pediatric dentistry. Their occurrence is related. The same determinants as suggested for MIH are expected for DMH, though somewhat earlier in life. Perinatal medical problems may influence the prevalence of DMH but this has not been studied sufficiently.ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify possible determinants of DMH in a prospective cohort study among 6-year-old children.Study DesignThis study was embedded in the Generation R Study, a population-based prospective cohort study from fetal life until young adulthood. The the data were used to identify the determinants of DMH. Clinical photographs of clean, moist teeth were taken with an intra-oral camera in 6690 children (mean age 6.2 years; 49.9% girls). Data on possible determinants that had occurred during pregnancy and/or the child's first year of life were on the basis of manual standardized measurements (like length and weight) and questionnaires. Multivariate analyse with backward and forward selection was performed.ResultsA number of factors in the pre-, peri- and postnatal phase were found to be associated with DMH. After multivariate logistic regression analyses, Dutch ethnic background, low birth weight, maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy, and fever episodes in the first year of the child's life were found to play a role in the development of DMH in 6-year-old children.ConclusionThis study shows that Dutch ethnicity, low birth weight, alcohol consumption by the mother during pregnancy and any fever in the first year of the child's life are associated with DMH. Not only childhood factors but also prenatal lifestyle factors need to be taken into account when studying determinants for DMH.

“…Owing to properties, such as low permittivity, e r % 10, 1 high Curie temperature (T c ¼ 1150 C), 2 or high sound velocity (v $ 6000 m/s) (Ref. 3), c-axis tilted AlN has been employed for MEMS-based resonators, 4 energy harvesting systems, 5,6 ultrasonic transducers, 7 chemical sensors, 8 accelerometers, as well as for Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (FBAR) used for duplexers in handheld communication. 9 The efficiency of these devices can be improved over those based on pure AlN thin films by increasing the piezoelectric constants of Sc x Al 1Àx N thin films.…”

The piezoelectric properties of wurtzite aluminium nitride (w-AlN) are enhanced by alloying with scandium (Sc), thus offering superior properties for applications in micro electro-mechanical systems devices. ScxAl1−xN thin films have been prepared by DC reactive magnetron sputtering on Si (100) substrates from a single target. When targeting a concentration range from x = 0 up to x = 0.15, the preparation conditions have been optimized by varying the Ar/N2 ratio in the sputtering gas. To incorporate an increasing Sc concentration, a higher Ar/N2 ratio has to be applied during the deposition process. Hence, the argon concentration in the sputtering gas becomes a crucial parameter for microstructure-related parameters. To determine phase purity, degree of c-axis orientation, lattice parameter, and grain size, the ScxAl1−xN thin films were investigated by techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction.

Factors increasing the caries risk of second primary molars in 5‐year‐old Dutch children

Abstract: Deciduous molar hypomineralization and the country of birth of the mother play a role in the prevalence of dental caries. These aetiological factors associated with childhood dental caries need to be investigated further in longitudinal clinical trials.
