“…Surveys conducted in Alaska, Canada and Greenland in the early 1900s present traditional lifestyles resulting in minimal caries and little tooth loss, even into old age, and as southern cariogenic foods were brought north, diets changed, contributing to increased levels of disease. Recent work in other Arctic and Indigenous populations confirm this pattern (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). The Maori in New Zealand, Aborigines in Australia, Sami in northern Scandinavia, and Indigenous groups in Central and South America and East Asia, all report a significant decline in oral health sustained post-colonisation.…”

Objectives. To describe the historical development of medical and dental care in the territory of Nunavut, Canada. Study design. Ethnographic case study using political economy as a mode of explanation. Methods. Participant observations, document reviews and stakeholder interviews, conducted over a four-year period.Results. There is a clear and now long-term movement from state and professionally controlled health care delivery to Indigenous control over care. Conclusions. Indigenous groups increasingly hold control over health care delivery through a complex form of management that straddles both public and private organisational spheres.

“…Algunos autores sugieren que más del 12% de los niños en edad preescolar están afectados, aunque en ciertas poblaciones la afección es tan alta que alcanza un 70%. [6][7][8][9] Los niños con esta entidad tienden a mantener un riesgo alto de sufrir caries dental en la dentición permanente. 10 La salud oral de los niños se encuentra muy relacionada con el periodo gestacional de la madre, ya que las alteraciones que se presentan durante este periodo pueden afectar la salud buco dental del hijo, es evidente la importancia de que el personal médico tenga los conocimientos necesarios, para establecer programas preventivos, además de detectar las enfermedades orales más frecuentes y de esta manera orientar y remitir al paciente donde el odontólogo.…”

RESUMENObjetivo: determinar la prevalencia de Caries de la Infancia Temprana (CIT) en niños de 1 a 5 años de la ciudad de Cali y describir los factores de riesgo asociados. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal, de prevalencia con todas las instituciones educativas inscritas en la Secretaría de Educación. La muestra la constituyeron 929 menores a quienes se les indagó mediante un cuestionario dirigido a sus padres, acerca de los factores de riesgo asociados con caries dental. Se realizó un examen clínico intraoral para determinar el índice ceo-d según los criterios de la Organización Mundial de la Salud y se evaluó el índice de placa bacteriana de Sillness y Löe. Se realizó un análisis univariado para describir las variables y conocer la distribución de la variable de salida. Para el bivariado se utilizó la prueba Chi 2 y la correlación de Spearman, según el tipo de variable. Para comparación del índice ceo-d según estrato socioeconómico y hábitos de higiene como el cepillado antes de acostarse, se utilizó la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: se encontró una prevalencia de CIT de 29,3%, siendo esta mayor en el estrato socioeconómico bajo. De los factores de riesgo analizados, se encontró una asociación significativa con no cepillar al niño antes de dormir con un OR de 1,50 [IC 95%: 1,09 -2,07, p= 0,008]. Conclusiones: la prevalencia de caries dental fue mayor que la reportada para Cali en el ENSAB III a los 5 años. Se utilizó como índice para caries dental el ceo-d sin incluir lesiones precavitacionales, lo que podría subestimar la prevalencia de esta entidad en la población de estudio.

PREVALENCE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD CARIES AND ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS AMONG 1-5 YEAR OLD PRE-SCHOOLERS OF SANTIAGO DE CALI ABSTRACTObjective: to assess the prevalence of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) among 1-5 year old pre-schoolers in the city of Cali and describe the associated risk factors. Methods: a descriptive study of prevalence in all educational institutions registered in the Ministry of Education was carried out. The sample consisted of 929 children who were asked by a questionnaire sent to their parents about the risk factors associated with dental caries. An intraoral examination was performed to determine the dmf-t index according to the criteria of the World Health Organization and the plaque index of Sillness and Löe was also evaluated. Univariate analysis was performed to describe the variables and know the distribution of the dependent variable. For the bivariate analysis, the Chi 2 test and Spearman correlation was used depending on the type of variable. For comparison of the dmf-t according to socioeconomic and hygiene conditions such as brushing before bed, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. Results: a prevalence of 29.3...

“…The differentials between Indigenous and non-Indigenous dental disease experience were marked, with Indigenous children in the least socially disadvantaged categories frequently having worse oral health than non-Indigenous children in the most disadvantaged categories and rural Indigenous children having up to three and a half times the dental disease experience of rural-dwelling nonIndigenous children. The literature shows that Indigenous children in countries such as New Zealand, Canada and the USA also experience poorer oral health than their non-Indigenous counterparts (Jones et al 1992;Caplan & Weintraub 1993;Thomson 1993;Niendorff & Jones 2000;Edelstein 2002;Lee & Dennison 2004;Peressini et al 2004). Although our sample size was large, it is important to consider its representativeness when considering the study's merits.…”

“…The role of residential location in Indigenous child oral health is recognised. Endean et al (2004) found that remote Indigenous children had markedly higher dental disease levels in comparison with the general Australian child population, and among Indigenous populations in Canada and the USA, rural-dwelling children have been consistently found to have poorer oral health than those residing in urban areas (Jones et al 1992;Caplan & Weintraub 1993;Niendorff & Jones 2000;Edelstein 2002;Peressini et al 2004). School dental service provision to rural areas in Australia, including oral health education and promotion initiatives, varies depending upon location, logistical challenges and staff availability (NHC 2001).…”
