“…On the other hand, other studies were not in accordance with the finding of this study reported that girls had higher caries experience than boys [7,13,14,16,30,43,44]. Unfortunately, in Libya there is increasing levels of dental caries, the reason may be due to the lack of oral health care access among schoolchildren with an increase unmet treatment needs, lifestyle changes, easy access to unhealthy foods, dietary habits and higher consumption of sugared foods and drinks particularly among children, the preventive programs are not established and inadequate access to dental care.…”

Aim: to assess prevalence and severity of dental caries (DMFT for permanent dentition and dmft for primary dentition) among Libyan children. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study including a random sample of 372 children was conducted in Benghazi. Experience of dental caries was assessed by decayed, missing, and filled teeth DMFT and dmft indices using WHO criteria of diagnosing dental caries. The data were entered and managed by using SPSS software version 25. Descriptive analysis of the data including frequencies, percentages and means of school-children's decayed, missing and filled components was performed. Results: Overall dental caries prevalence was 86.6%. The mean DMFT and dmft indices were 0.86 and 2.78 for all 372 subjects amongst which major contributor was decayed component. Considering only subjects with caries experience (322), mean DMFT and dmft indices were 1.00 and 3.21, respectively. Higher prevalence of dmft scores was observed than DMFT scores in all subjects and in subjects with caries experience. For all subjects DMFT, the Decay index was 89.5%, Missing index was 3.5% and Care index was 6.7%. For all subjects dmft, the Decay index was 89.9%, Missing index was 7.9% and Care index was 2.1%. Conclusions: Caries prevalence was high considering the World Health Organization future oral health goals. Although the prevalence in the study sample is high, Care index is unacceptably low. The findings stress on the need to treat the children at the initial stages of caries development with preventive approaches. Providing and implementing preventive and educational programs for controlling dental caries are necessary.

“…Mohammad et al also have similar findings in the study conducted at Benghazi. 12 Second deciduous tooth was found to be carious in 17.6% children in this study and also had carious first permanent in these children. There was a significant difference in the children with early childhood caries and first permanent molar caries.…”

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of caries in second molar deciduous molar and adjacent first permanent molar in children. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Dental Outdoor Department of Ibn-e-Siena Hospital. Period: March 2021 to August 2021. Material & Methods: A total of 1,250 patients between the age of 6-12 years were included in the study, who were free from the other dental issues. Consent was taken from the patients and parents after explaining the procedures. Examination was done by a senior Operative dentist. For diagnosis of the caries ICDAS criteria was undertook Results: A total of 1250 children between the age of 6-12 years were included in the study. Out of these 250 children had first permanent molar caries. Boys were effected more and second deciduous molar tooth caries were associated with development of caries first permanent molars as these are closely placed. Conclusion: Association between presence of caries in primary teeth is correlated with the development of caries in the permanent teeth. So caries in the primary teeth, predicts the development of caries in the permanent teeth.

Objective. To study the structure of the dental status of children aged 1 to 6 years. To identify gender differences in the rates of dental morbidity in children of early and preschool age. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, a cross-sectional epidemiological study (cross-sectional studies) was conducted to study the dental morbidity of the Moscow child population aged 1 to 6 years. Clinical research methods were carried out to determine the dental status of the subjects. The received materials were processed statistically using the Statistica software. For statistical analysis of the prevalence of caries depending on age, the 2 criterion was used for contingency tables. To analyze the relationship between the prevalence of caries among boys and girls, Pearson’s 2 test was used with Yates’ correction for continuity. Categorical variables are presented as absolute and relative frequencies. Results. An analysis of the data obtained as a result of a cross-sectional epidemiological study (cross-sectional studies) of the children’s population of Moscow aged 1 to 6 years showed that the need for oral cavity sanation increases with age, the rate of previously sanitized children in different age periods are changing, there is a decrease in the rate of natural sanation. The prevalence of caries increases as children grow older. A statistically significant dependence of the prevalence of caries on the age group was revealed (2=55.86, df=5, p<0.001). The prevalence of caries increases as children grow older. A statistically significant dependence of the prevalence of caries on the age group was revealed (2=55.86, df=5, p<0.001). Absolute and relative (%) caries prevalence rates are higher in girls in all age groups and lower in boys. But statistically significant differences in the prevalence of caries in boys and girls were observed only in the age group of 1 year (2=13.45, df=1, p<0.001) and 6 years (2=4.539, df=1, p<0.05). In the age groups of 2, 3, 4 and 5 years, there was a similar prevalence of caries among boys and girls, no statistically significant differences were found, despite the fact that quantitative (absolute and relative indicators) indicated a higher prevalence in girls than in boys. Conclusions. The indicator of natural sanitation in children of early and preschool age decreases, the indicator of the need for sanitation of the oral cavity tends to increase with age, with a slight decrease by the age of 2 in girls; the indicator of previously sanitized children is variable in different age periods. The prevalence of caries in infants and preschool children increases as the child grows older and does not tend to decrease. A statistically significant dependence of the prevalence of caries on the age group was revealed. Absolute and relative (%) caries prevalence rates are higher in girls in all age groups and lower in boys. But statistically significant differences in the prevalence of caries in boys and girls were observed only in the age groups: 1 year and 6 years. The prevalence of caries in infants and preschool children increases as the child grows older and does not tend to decrease. A statistically significant dependence of the prevalence of caries on the age group was revealed. Absolute and relative (%) caries prevalence rates are higher in girls in all age groups and lower in boys. But statistically significant differences in the prevalence of caries in boys and girls were observed only in the age groups: 1 year and 6 years.
