“…The reductions of scores were comparable between chewing stick and toothbrush users [ 30 ]. One quasi-experimental study in Burma found that a school-based tooth-brushing programme had no significant effects on plaque and bleeding scores [ 32 ].…”

“…The positive impacts of tooth-brushing activities were well-demonstrated [ 30 , 31 , 33 ], except for a study in Myanmar that found no impacts following the programme. It was suggested that the factors behind these findings might be the teachers’ lack of skills in giving the instructions as they were not dental professionals, the fact that instructing some groups of young children were not that effective, and children under ten years’ lack of ability to brush [ 32 ]. Another type of intervention was a SOC-based intervention, which was found to improve OHRQoL, SOC [ 35 , 36 ], gingival health, and oral health beliefs [ 36 ].…”

“…Table 2 shows the summary of studies conducted in elementary schools. Six studies focused on the effectiveness of the OHE programmes [11,[24][25][26][27][28], one study on the importance of repetition and reinforcement [29], three studies on supervised toothbrushing [30][31][32], one study on tooth-brushing training [33], one study on school dental screening [34], and two studies on SOC-based interventions [35,36]. Besides involving education as part of the interventions, one study further included dietary counselling, the ingestion of fluoridated drinking water, and supervised toothbrushing [37], one study included a dental hospital tour programme [12], two studies included the provision of preventive and restorative care [12,37], three studies included the provision of oral hygiene aids [12,25,37], and two studies included competition activities [12,38].…”

Background Schools offer an opportunity for oral health promotion in children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the influence of school-based oral health promotion programmes on oral health knowledge (OHK), behaviours (OHB), attitude (OHA), status (OHS), and quality of life (OHRQoL) of children and adolescents. Methods A systematic search on the PubMed and Embase databases was conducted to identify eligible studies. The last search was done on April 24th, 2020. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal tools. Results Of the 997 articles identified, 31 articles were included in this review. Seven studies targeted students in preschools, seventeen in elementary schools, and seven in high schools. Most of these studies revealed positive outcomes. Some studies showed that the school-based oral health promotion programmes showed better OHK, OHB, OHS, and OHRQoL. Conclusion Positive results were obtained through oral health promotion programmes in schools, especially those involving children, teachers, and parents.

Eugenia uniflora Dentifrice for Treating Gingivitis in Children: Antibacterial Assay and Randomized Clinical Trial

et al. 2016

School-age children are frequently at high risk for the onset of biofilm-dependent conditions, including dental caries and periodontal diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a dentifrice containing Eugenia uniflora Linn. (Surinam cherry) extract versus a triclosan-based comparator in treating gingivitis in children aged 10-12 years. The in vitro antibacterial potential of the dentifrice was tested against oral pathogens (Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus oralis and Lactobacillus casei). Then a phase-II clinical trial was conducted with 50 subjects aged 10-12 years, with clinical signs of gingivitis. The subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=25) and control group (n=25), in which participants used the experimental dentifrice and a triclosan-based fluoridated dentifrice (Colgate Total 12(r)), respectively. Clinical examinations assessed the presence of gingivitis (primary outcome) and biofilm accumulation (secondary outcome) using the Gingival-Bleeding Index (GBI) and Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), respectively, at baseline and after seven days of tooth brushing 3x/day. The data were analyzed using paired and unpaired t-test (GBI) and Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney (OHI-S), with p≤0.05. The experimental dentifrice showed efficient antibacterial activity in vitro. In the clinical trial, a significant reduction in gingival bleeding was observed in both experimental and control groups (p<0.0001), with no statistical difference between them (p=0.178), although a small size effect was observed. Biofilm accumulation was only reduced in the control group (p=0.0039). In conclusion, E. uniflora dentifrice showed anti-gingivitis properties in children aged 10-12 years. Thus, it may be a potentially efficient and safe product to be used alternatively in preventive dental practice

“…O estudo de aspectos relacionados à saúde bucal entre indivíduos com 12 anos é especialmente importante, pois este grupo etário foi escolhido pela OMS como a idade de monitoramento global da cárie dentária, principal agravo de saúde bucal em termos de prevalência, para comparações internacionais e acompanhamento das tendências da doença 4 . No entanto, sabe-se que, para controle e prevenção de alguns problemas bucais, tais como cárie e doença periodontal, é essencial a adesão a comportamentos adequados de higiene bucal 5,6 . Portanto, considerando-se o fato de que crianças com 12 anos estão, em sua maioria, inseridas no ambiente escolar, a escola parece ser um ambiente educacional e social propício para se trabalhar conhecimentos e mudanças de comportamento 7 .…”

ResumoIntrodução: O acesso à educação em saúde bucal é considerado um importante preditor para avaliação das condições e dos comportamentos em saúde bucal. Crianças com 12 anos estão, em sua maioria, inseridas no ambiente escolar, sendo a escola um ambiente educacional e social propício para que conhecimentos e mudanças de comportamento sejam trabalhados. Objetivo: Propõe-se identificar a prevalência do acesso a orientações de higiene bucal entre escolares da Rede Pública de Ensino e os fatores associados a esse acesso. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, analítico, conduzido entre escolares de 12 anos de idade de um município brasileiro de grande porte populacional. Os exames foram realizados por 24 Cirurgiões-Dentistas treinados e calibrados com auxílio de 24 anotadores. A coleta de dados ocorreu em 36 escolas públicas, sorteadas dentre as 89 escolas do município. Foram conduzidas análises descritivas, univariadas e múltiplas (OR/IC95%). Resultado: Dos 2.755 escolares avaliados, 2.510 foram incluídos. Destes, 2.173 (86,6%) receberam orientações de higiene bucal. O acesso a orientações de higiene bucal foi maior entre escolares do sexo masculino e dentre os que utilizaram serviços odontológicos privados ou por convênio. Foi menor entre os que usaram o serviço odontológico para tratamento e há mais de um ano, dentre os que não recebiam assistência odontológica na escola e entre aqueles que relataram uma frequência de higiene bucal de uma vez por dia. Conclusão: A maioria dos escolares teve acesso a orientações de higiene bucal, estando este acesso associado a variáveis referentes aos determinantes pessoais, ao serviço de saúde e aos comportamentos.Descritores: Saúde escolar; criança; saúde bucal; alfabetização em saúde. AbstractIntroduction: Access to oral health education is considered an important predictor for assessing the conditions and behaviors on oral health. Most 12-year children are in the school environment, being the school a propitious educational and social environment for both knowledge as behavioral changes are implemented. Objective: It is proposed to identify the prevalence of access to oral hygiene guidelines among schoolchildren of public schools and the factors associated with such access. Methodology: This is an analytical cross-sectional study conducted among 12-years schoolchildren of a Brazilian city with a large population size. The tests were performed by 24 trained and calibrated dentists with the aid of 24 annotators. Data collection occurred in 36 randomly selected public schools among the 89 schools of the city. Descriptive, univariate and multiple analyzes were conducted (OR/IC95%). Result: Of the 2,755 schoolchildren, 2,510 were included. Of these, 2,173 (86.6%) received oral hygiene guidelines. Access to guidelines for oral care was higher among male students and among those using private dental services or covenant. It was lower among those who used the service for dental treatment for over one year and among those who did not receive dental care at school, who repo...
