“…The rate of those who reported oral and dental health problems in the last 6 months was 8.7%. The World Health Organization estimates that close to 3.5 billion people globally from oral diseases, and the global burden of oral diseases is greater than the global burden of the five most common noncommunicable diseases that follow oral diseases (Jain et al, 2023). Dental caries has the highest global burden among oral and dental diseases (Tezel et al, 2021).…”

AimThis study aims to assess the general health status and factors affecting the general health status in the 0–14 age group in Turkey.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted using the Turkish Statistical Institute Turkey Health Survey 2022 micro data set.ResultsThis study included 7019 participants. Household heads described the general health status of 91.3% of children and the dental and gum status of 82.4% of children as very good or good, and 9.2% of children had any chronic disease. Although the median breastfeeding duration was 15 months, there is statistical significant association between sex and general health status (p = 0.014) and sex and duration of breastfeeding (p = 0.006). A statistical difference was found between duration of breastfeeding and general health status (p = 0.009) and dental and gum status (p = 0.001).ConclusionIn 2022, the majority of children in Turkey had very good or good general health and dental and gum status. More than a third of children were breastfed for less than 12 months. Considering the possibility of neglecting oral and dental health problems, it is recommended to prioritize oral and dental health literacy trainings and to continue breastfeeding promotion programmes.

“…Dental caries is one of the most widespread persistent diseases today (Jain et al 2023). The main cause behind caries is acids produced by oral bacteria such as S. mutans , which can demineralize the dental enamel (Eick 2021).…”

Dental caries is a common disease affecting quality of life globally. In the present study, we found that a bacteriophage lysin LysP53 against Acinetobacter baumannii possesses selective activity on Streptococcus mutans, the main etiological agent of dental caries, even in low pH caries microenvironments, whereas only minor LysP53 activity was detected against Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus oralis, and Streptococcus mitis. Testing activity against S. mutans planktonic cells showed that 4 μM LysP53 could kill more than 84% of S. mutans within 1 min in buffer with optimal pHs ranging from 4.0 to 6.5. Daily application of LysP53 on biofilms formed in BHI medium supplemented or not with sucrose could reduce exopolysaccharides, expression of genes related to acid resistance and adhesion, and the number of live bacteria in the biofilms. LysP53 treatment also showed similar effects as 0.12% chlorhexidine in preventing enamel demineralization due to S. mutans biofilms, as well as effective removal of S. mutans colonization of tooth surfaces in mice without observed toxic effects. Because of its selective activity against main cariogenic bacteria and good activity in low pH caries microenvironments, it is advantageous to use LysP53 as an active agent for preventing caries.

“…It is the second largest oral health problem and the sixth most common human disease worldwide, affecting 45%-50% of the world population [2]. International studies have indicated that severe periodontal diseases could cause high-cost global burden with an annual expenditure of about US$ 82 billion [3]. As the primary reason for tooth loss in adults, periodontitis has a detrimental effect on masticatory dysfunction, self-esteem and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) [4].…”

Background Periodontitis is closely associated with systemic diseases. Healthy lifestyle interventions have health-enhancing effects on systemic disorders and periodontitis, but the extent to which healthy lifestyle combinations are associated with periodontitis is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between periodontitis and different healthy lifestyle combinations. Methods 5611 participants were included from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2009–2014). Six healthy lifestyles factors were defined as fulfilling either: non-smoking, moderate drinking, moderate body mass index (BMI), physical activity, healthy sleep and appropriate total energy intake. Then, the adjusted logistic regression models were performed to identify the association between the periodontitis risk and the scoring system composed of six lifestyles (0–6 scale). Finally, different scenarios were dynamically and randomly combined to identify the optimal and personalized combination mode. Results Higher healthy lifestyle scores were significantly associated with lower periodontitis risk (p < 0.05). Four lifestyle factors (smoking, drinking, BMI, and sleep) significantly varied between the periodontitis and healthy groups (p < 0.05). Smoking was considered as a strong independent risk factor for periodontitis in both former and current smokers. Results further indicated that the combination of these four lifestyles played the most essential role in determining the magnitude of periodontitis risk (odds ratio [OR]: 0.33; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.21 to 0.50). In the total population, the majority of three lifestyle combinations outperformed the two combination models, whereas the two-combination of nonsmoking-drinking (OR: 0.39; 95% CI: 0.27 to 0.58) had relatively lower risk than the three-combination of healthy drinking-BMI-sleep (OR: 0.42; 95% CI: 0.26 to 0.66). Conclusion This cross-sectional study suggests that smoking, drinking, BMI, and sleep are significantly related with periodontitis and smoking is the principal risk factor related among them. This study provides various customized lifestyle combinations for periodontitis prevention.
