“…Our results corroborate the evidence that untreated caries has ramifications not just for oral health but also for the general health of the affected children 20,21 . The burden of ECC and its impacts beyond the clinical aspects suggest the need to address specific strategies to improve dental health in childhood.…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) and caries experience of Hong Kong preschool children. Methods Parents or primary caregivers of Hong Kong preschool children were invited to complete a self‐administered dental health questionnaire. The study children were examined in their classrooms. The decayed, missing and filled primary teeth (dmft) index was used for documenting the caries status. The questionnaire included the Chinese Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) and collected sociodemographic information on the parents and children. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between OHRQoL and caries experience of preschool children. Results A total of 434 preschool children were invited to participate in the study; 336 (77.4%) received a dental examination and returned a parental questionnaire. The mean (SD) age of the study children was 4.7 (0.3) years. An OHRQoL impact (ECOHIS score of >0) for at least one item was reported by 236 (70.2%) parents/caregivers of the children included in the study. The overall mean (SD) ECOHIS score was 5.8 (6.2). A caries prevalence (dmft > 0) of 36.9% and a mean (SD) dmft score of 1.7 (3.2) were calculated for the study children. In the final logistic regression model, children with a higher dmft score had a significantly higher chance of having a poorer OHRQoL (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.07–1.35, P = 0.002), whereas children's sex, parent's education levels and the respondent's relationship to the child were not associated with OHRQoL (P > 0.05). Conclusion Caries experience is associated with lower OHRQoL of Hong Kong preschool children.

“…Se podría considerar que al no ser evaluadas las lesiones cavitadas código 5 y 6 de ICDAS, no obtuvieron manifestación clínica visiblemente complejas lo que indica que para la percepción de sus padres no fue perjudicial en su calidad de vida. Respecto a la percepción de responsabilidad de los padres por la presencia de caries dental, Cesarino M. et al (20) , hallaron que esta aumenta con la aparición avanzada de la enfermedad, lo cual conlleva a necesitar tratamientos urgentes, como también lo refiere Vieira -Andrade R. et al (21) , Wong S. et al (22) y Correa -Faria P. et al (23) , sobre las consecuencias de caries no tratadas, que presentaron impacto negativo en preescolares, sobre la percepción de responsabilidad y preocupación de los padres o cuidador Arrow P. (24) encontró ausencia de responsabilidad y poca importancia en el cuidado de los dientes deciduos, así como también un desconocimiento sobre tratamientos preventivos, resultado que no coincide con los obtenidos en este estudio ya que al realizar la evaluación del ECOHIS hubieron padres que manifestaron estar preocupados por la salud bucal de su hijo, aunque al realizar el examen clínico no se corroboró dicha aseveración, ya que habían muchos niños enfermos.…”

Impacto de la caries dental sobre la calidad de vida en preescolares peruanos Impact of dental caries on their quality of life in preschools peruvians Tania Adriana Cosme Raymundo RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar el impacto de la caries dental sobre la calidad de vida en preescolares. Materiales y métodos: fue un estudio de tipo observacional, correlacional, transversal y prospectivo en el cual participaron 200 padres de familia, quienes completaron los cuestionarios de ECOHIS; niños evaluados clínicamente utilizando el criterio de diagnóstico ICDAS; y un solo examinador calibrado por un Gold Estándar, presentando un Kappa inter e intraexaminador de 0.79 y 0.81 respectivamente. El análisis estadístico que se utilizó fue Chi cuadrado. Resultados: El impacto de la caries dental en la calidad de vida utilizándose la herramienta de ECOHIS fue considerado medio. El grado de instrucción de los padres no mostró ser una variable que influencie ésta percepción, no encontrándose diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p=0.53). Respecto a la prevalencia de caries dental según el criterio ICDAS fue de 94% y adaptándolo a la OMS fue de 82%. El c3-6po-d medio de la población fue de 5.05, lo que confirma que la enfermedad estuvo presente en un alto número de los niños de 3 a 5 años evaluados. Conclusiones: A pesar de constatarse una alta prevalencia de caries dental en los niños, dicha afección tuvo un impacto medio en la calidad de vida de los mismos, según la percepción de sus padres de familia. Palabras claves: Calidad de vida; ICDAS; caries dental; Caries de infancia Temprana.

“…World Health Organization (WHO) reported that approximately 60-90% of adult and almost 100% of children experienced untreated dental caries 1) . In 2016, The estimated burden for treatments of caries in the US was almost 124 billion USD 2,3) . The most commonly used restorative materials include dental amalgam, resin composites, and glass ionomer cements (GICs).…”

The aim was to assess the effect of powder to liquid ratio (PLR) on setting time, fluoride release, and compressive strength of conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs) containing pre-reacted spherical glass fillers (SPG). GICs were prepared by mixing SPG with Fuji IX Universal liquid using PLR of 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1. Setting time decreased from 221 to 51 s upon rising PLR. Increasing PLR decreased cumulative fluoride release (33 to 13 ppm). Diffusion coefficient of fluoride of experimental GICs (1.6-1.8×10 −8 cm 2 /s) was comparable with that of Fuji IX Universal (1.6×10 −8 cm 2 /s). Compressive strength of PLR 2:1 to 3:1 (93-140 MPa) were comparable with that of Fuji IX Universal (124 MPa). These results demonstrated that rising powder ratio reduced setting time, fluoride release, and compressive strength of GICs. However, the setting time and strength experimental GICs with PLR greater than 2:1 were in the acceptable range of the ISO standard.
