“…The results is showed an independent association between the knowledge score and the plaque index with a lower mean knowledge score in adolescents with a higher plaque index than those with the lowest indexes. This fact can be explained by the positive influence of knowledge on habits and care with oral health [5]. In a study of 810 Indian adolescents aged 15 to 18 years with similar socioeconomic characteristics of this study, they observed a positive linear correlation between greater knowledge and better attitudes and practices related to oral health [17].…”

“…In this sense, the last survey of the periodontal profile conducted by the World Health Organization showed that the number of adolescents with gingivitis increased substantially in many countries, with a higher incidence in the less developed countries [4]. Gingivitis when untreated, can progress to periodontitis, mobility and tooth loss [5], and the initial stages of the disease are associated with poor oral hygiene, regardless of socioeconomic status [6].…”

To evaluate the influence of oral health knowledge in adolescents' oral hygiene pattern. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 291 participants aged between 14 and 19 years old enrolled in a public school in Curitiba, Brazil. A self-administered questionnaire containing five affirmations about periodontal diseases and their forms of prevention was arranged on a three-point Likert scale. Correct answers were given a weight=1 and incorrect ones, weight=0. The knowledge score (KS) was determined by the sum. Socioeconomic and demographic data were obtained by a questionnaire sent to those responsible. The oral hygiene pattern was evaluated through the simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S) by a calibrated researcher (K=0.89). Mann-Whitney U test and univariate and multivariate Poisson regression with robust variance were used for data analysis (α=0.05). Results: There was an inversely proportional association between KS and OHI-S (p=0.018). The multiple model showed that adolescents with a lower KS (PR = 0.93, CI95%: 0.88-0.99), male gender (PR = 1.17, CI95%: 1.01-1.37) and whose caregivers presented a lower level of education (PR=1.30, CI95%: 1.03-1.64) showed a higher index of dental plaque. Conclusion:The level of oral health knowledge, the gender and the caregivers' level of education influences the adolescents' oral hygiene pattern.

“…It was found to have a higher sensitivity (65%) and specificity (67%) in severe than in moderate cases. However, in the case of Japanese adolescents, it was observed that most were not aware of the relationship between a dentist's evaluation and their own self‐assessment of plaque and gingival health status, but adolescents with a good oral health status were more aware of this relationship. Despite the controversy regarding the validity of self‐reported data, the authors of the present study chose to focus on self‐reported periodontal symptoms.…”

The severity of self-reported periodontal symptoms differed according to socioeconomic status. Subjects with lower socioeconomic status reported more advanced periodontal disease symptoms, such as gingival swelling, while those with higher socioeconomic status reported more incipient periodontal symptoms, such as gingival bleeding. Socioeconomic status remains a factor affecting self-reported periodontal symptoms in community-dwelling individuals in Korea.

“…The aetiology of gingivitis is multifactorial and has been shown to be significantly associated with oral bacterial biofilms, as well as genetic, socioeconomic, demographic, iatrogenic and behavioural factors. Gingivitis is a more innocuous condition compared with dental caries, and is rarely associated with obvious clinical signs and symptoms other than mild and intermittent gingival bleeding. Microorganisms in dental plaque biofilms are the main aetiological factors for the initiation of gingival inflammation, but the host response also plays a major role.…”

Objectives: To obtain basic data on dental caries and gingival status of students in Myanmar, and to identify related risk indicators, including socioeconomic conditions and oral health behaviours and habits. Study design: This cross-sectional study enrolled 537 fifth-grade students in Myanmar. Oral health behaviours and dietary patterns of students were assessed using questionnaires. Oral examinations were conducted to identify dental caries and gingivitis, and the oral samples were obtained to determine the bacteria levels in dental plaque. Results: The dental caries prevalence was 68.5%, with a mean number of decayed teeth of 2.07 AE 2.15. The prevalence of gingivitis was 98.9%, and the mean number of inflamed gingival areas in the anterior region was 16.2 AE 5.4. No significant differences were found between the sexes in terms of dental caries and gingivitis. Oral hygiene was significantly poorer, and levels of bacteria in dental plaque were significantly higher in boys than in girls. Multiple linear regression tests were used to analyse the association between risk indicators and dental caries and gingivitis. Tooth brushing frequency, a daily habit of mouth rinsing, dental visit experience, consumption of sugary snacks and oral hygiene status were significantly associated with dental caries. Mother's occupation, tooth brushing frequency, consumption of sweet drinks, oral hygiene status and bacterial levels in dental plaque were significant predictors of gingivitis. Conclusions: Myanmar students had a high prevalence of dental caries and gingivitis. Socioeconomic condition, oral hygiene status and oral health behaviours were all determined to be significant risk indicators.
