“…The prevalence of dental caries among Egyptian children was higher in primary dentition (dmft and deft) when compared to permanent dentition (DMFT), this is similar to what has been reported in India 33, 34 . Deciduous teeth have a higher susceptibility to dental caries due to the lower calcium content and structural differences 35 . Moreover, caries in the primary dentition could be associated with under nutrition during early childhood.…”

Background: Dental caries is a chronic, multifactorial disease, with limited data available for the Egyptian population. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of dental caries among Egyptian children and adolescents in correlation with age, gender, body mass index, socioeconomic status, parental education, biological risk factors and dietary habits. Methods: A total number of 369 Egyptian children and adolescents (age ranges from 3-18 years) were examined over the period from 15th November 2017 to 13th January 2018. Socio-demographic data, oral hygiene measures and dietary habits for children were recorded. Dental status was analyzed using decayed, missing and filled tooth index (dmft) for deciduous dentition and (DMFT) index for permanent dentition. For mixed dentition (deft) index was used, d (decayed tooth indicated for filling), e (decayed tooth indicated for extraction) and f (filled tooth). Results: 74% of the children had dental caries with mean dmft: 3.23±4.07; deft: 4.21±3.21; DMFT: 1.04±1.56. In primary dentition, dmft of the children was positively correlated with age, beans, candies, crackers, chocolates and inversely correlated with gender, socio-economic status (SES), parental education, brushing frequency of the parent, brushing frequency of the parent to the child teeth, brushing frequency of the child and consumption of eggs, fruits/vegetables, milk and milk products. In mixed dentition, deft was positively correlated with candies, crackers, citric juices, while negatively correlated with age, SES, parental education, brushing frequency of the parent to the child, brushing frequency of the child, fruits/vegetables. In permanent dentition, DMFT in children was positively correlated with age and chocolates while not correlated with any of the remaining risk factors. Conclusion: The present study clarifies the significant risk factors associated with dental caries amongst Egyptian children. This will help in planning strategies to prevent and treat such disease.

“…This is similar to the results reported by [20,23] . As deciduous teeth have a higher susceptibility to dental caries due to the lower calcium content and structural differences [24] . Moreover, caries in the primary dentition could be associated with under nutrition during early childhood.…”

“…Regarding the relation between caries experience in primary molars and first permanent molars a positive correlation was found which is in accordance with [2,3,26] . This could be due to the continuous effect of all the cariogenic factors on the primary and permanent molars and delay the use of preventive measures [24] . This finding was not in agreement with the result of [27] who stated that there was no positive relationship between ECC and caries development in the permanent teeth.…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the caries experience in primary molars and first permanent molars among a group of Egyptian children. Methodology:The study was carried out on 68 patients with age range from 6-9 years old, at Pediatric Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. The child teeth were cleaned using sterile gauze, then dental examination was performed on dental unit using disposable diagnostic set, the caries was assessed using deft index for primary teeth and DMFT index for permanent teeth. Also, a bite-wing radiograph was taken for each child in order to diagnose proximal caries. Results: As regards gender, there was no statistically significant difference between genders and caries prevalence (P-value>0.05). Regarding age there was significant difference between different age groups as deft and DMFT scores were higher in older ages. The caries prevalence was higher in primary molars with mean deft of (3.02 1.17), while in permanent molars the mean DMFT was (1.13 1.18). Regarding the relation between caries experience in primary molars and first permanent molars, a positive correlation was found. Conclusions:The data obtained from this study revealed that the presence of caries in primary molars posed a risk for developing caries in the first permanent molars. However, since we could examine only a limited number of children, further clinical studies with larger sample size are needed.

“…18 The study conducted in the Bundelkhand region of India showed 82.62% of dental caries in the age group of 3-14 years. 19 According to a study carried out in school children of both urban and rural areas of Mahbubnagar district of Telangana, the dental caries was more in 7-8-year-old children and less in 11-12-year-old children. 20 The role of parents is very important for guiding their children for brushing and maintaining good oral hygiene.…”
