“…This may also be related to girls’ preference for cariogenic foods. Univariate analysis in the present study and other studies have shown that the prevalence of caries experience was higher among individuals who frequently consumed sweet food items [ 19 – 21 ]. The prevalence of caries experience in rural district was found to be significantly higher compared to urban district.…”

Background The national oral epidemiological survey conducted every decade has become an indispensable means of detecting changes in oral disease patterns. This study was undertaken to investigate the oral health status and related factors in 12–15-year-old students in Gansu, China. Methods According to the methodology adopted by the Fourth National Oral Health Survey, a multi-stage, stratified, random sampling method was used to select 3871 adolescents aged 12–15 years from four regions of Gansu Province for oral examination and questionnaire survey. Caries experience was measured using the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index; and periodontal health examination included gingival bleeding, calculus, periodontal pockets and attachment loss. The questionnaire included questions regarding sociodemographic characteristics, and oral health knowledge and behaviors. SPSS20.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the survey data. Results The mean DMFT index was 0.83 ± 1.42. The prevalence of caries experience was 38.6%, filling rate was 1.6%, and pit and fissure sealing rate was 0.5%. Logistic regression analysis showed that female sex, rural district, older age, non-only child, frequency of dental visits, and toothache experience were the risk factors for caries experience, with OR ranging between 1.280 and 3.831 (p < 0.05). Prevalence of healthy periodontium was 29.8%. Female sex, rural district, and younger age were found to be the protective factors for healthy periodontium, with OR ranging between 1.178 and 1.414 (p < 0.05). Conclusions Adolescents in Gansu Province had high prevalence of caries experience along with low filling rate, and low prevalence of healthy periodontium. Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously strengthen oral health education, disease prevention and control programs in the province. This would help improve the oral health-related quality of life of these individuals.

Background According to epidemiological studies, gingivitis is a common disease. However, its morbidity, considerably varies among individual. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of gingivitis, including prevalence, severity, intraoral distribution, and associated risk factors, in children aged 6–12 years in Jinzhou, China. Methods A multistage, whole-group, randomized sample of 2880 children aged 6–12 years in Jinzhou City, China, was selected and clinically examined. Each selected child completed a questionnaire on sociodemographic factors and oral health behaviors in cooperation with the investigator and teacher. Gingival bleeding refers to the bleeding of 10% or more teeth under the condition of ingivitis. Gingivitis was further categorized into localized gingivitis (30% ≥ number of teeth positive for gingival bleeding ≥ 10%) and generalized gingivitis (number of positive for gingival bleeding > 30%). The score of gingival bleeding was recorded using the Gingival Index. Results The prevalence of gingivitis in children aged 6–12 years in Jinzhou was 28.58%, including 701 cases of localized gingivitis (24.3%) and 122 cases of generalized gingivitis (4.2%). There were 429 cases (28.3%) of gingivitis in males and 394 cases (28.9%) in females, with no statistically significant difference in prevalence between males and females (P > 0.05). Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression analysis showed that aging, dental calculus, plaque, and dental crowding were significantly associated with a high prevalence of gingivitis. Conclusions Our study showed that dental calculus, large amount dental plaque, poor oral health behavior, and oral health awareness are associated with the prevalence of gingivitis and maintaining children's oral health requires professional guidance and regular preventive care.

[12][13][14] No data are available for Jinzhou, which is a transportation hub in the north with a complex population comprising multiple ethnic groups. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate (1) the prevalence of gingivitis in children aged 6-12 years in Jinzhou, China, (2) the risk factors affecting the occurrence of gingivitis, and (3) the factors associated with the aggravation of gingivitis and also to use these ndings as a reference for improving the direction of oral catharsis.…”

Background: Although epidemiological studies have consistently shown that gingivitis is a common disease, there is considerable variation between prevalence rates. This study aimed to understand the epidemiological characteristics of gingivitis, including prevalence, severity, intraoral distribution, and associated risk factors of each classification of gingivitis, in children aged 6–12 years in Jinzhou, China.Methods: A multistage, whole-group, randomized sample of 2,880 children aged 6–12 years in Jinzhou City, China, was selected and clinically examined. Each selected child completed a questionnaire on sociodemographic factors and oral health behaviors associated with gingivitis in collaboration with the investigator and teacher. Bleeding gums were recorded using the gingival index, and bleeding gum was defined as gingivitis when the number of bleeding teeth was greater than or equal to 10% of the number of teeth examined. Gingivitis was further categorized into localized gingivitis (30%≥number of teeth positive for gingival bleeding≥10%) and generalized gingivitis (number of positive for gingival bleeding >30%).Results: The prevalence of gingivitis in children aged 6–12 years in Jinzhou was 28.58%, including 701 cases of localized gingivitis (24.3%) and 122 cases of generalized gingivitis (4.2%). There were 429 cases (28.3%) of gingivitis in males and 394 cases (28.9%) in females, with no statistically significant difference in prevalence between males and females (P>0.05). Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression analysis showed that aging, tusk, plaque, and dental crowding were significantly associated with a high prevalence of gingivitis.Conclusions: Our study showed that tartar, heavy plaque, poor oral health behavior, and oral health awareness are associated with the prevalence of gingivitis and maintaining children's oral health requires professional guidance and regular preventive care.
