“…In our sample mean DMFT among the VII grade students was 4.36. Epidemiological data from our region showed that mean DMFT value was 3.43 among 12-years old in Montenegro [10], 4.16 in Bosnia and Herzegovina [11], 4.8 in Croatia [12] and 5.8 in Kosovo [13]. Mean DMFT value recorded in the sample from the current study was higher than those recorded among 12-years old in Spain (1.33) [14], Sicily (2.88) [15] or North-European countries with DMFT values below 3 [16].…”

Introduction. Dental caries and gingivitis are common in school children although they can be prevented through the health education and application of preventive measures. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of caries, gingivitis and orthodontic irregularities in school children and to assess the efficacy of health education program in relation to the plaque and gingivitis control as well as caries treatment. Material and Methods. This study included 56 second grade students with early mixed dentition and 56 seventh grade students with permanent dentition, from elementary school “Borislav Petrov Braca” in Pancevo. DMFT/dmft index, Plaque index (PI) according to Sillness-Löe, and the prevalence of gingivitis and orthodontic anomalies were determined by clinical examination. The Interventional Program included oral hygiene education and the application of prophylactic measures. At one and six months follow-ups, PI, gingival health and changes in DMFT/dmft structure were reexamined. Results. Gingivitis was recorded in 78.56% of II and 50% of VII grade students. In the II grade students, mean DMFT was 1.36±1.41, and dmft 5.07±2.66. In the VII grade students mean DMFT was 4.36±3.34. The most common orthodontic anomalies were narrow maxilla, deep bite and distal bite. After six months of conducting the Program, reduction of gingivitis and number of carious teeth in DMFT/dmft structure as well as oral hygiene improvement were achieved in both age groups. Conclusion. Oral hygiene, dental status and the prevalence of orthodontic anomalies in school children indicate the necessity to intensify preventive measures. Health education programs contribute to improvement of oral health and increase motivation for self-care in children

“…Previous research in the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighboring countries [8,9,10] showed high prevalence of caries of permanent teeth in schoolchildren (45-88.35%). Our study showed significantly lower (4.1%) frequency of caries at this age compared to previous studies, which can be explained by the fact that it was period of early mixed dentition and only recently erupting permanent teeth were present.…”

Summary Introduction Caries and orthodontic anomalies in school-age children lead to disturbed aesthetics, oral functions (chewing, swallowing, and speech), predisposition to trauma and the onset of periodontal diseases. The aim was to assess dental health and frequency of orthodontic anomalies in children aged 8-9 years in the municipality of Foča. Methods The research was conducted in the primary school Sveti Sava in Foča, where the total of 112 children age 8-9 years were examined. An informed consent was obtained from parents and school director for each student. Dental examination was performed using standard dental method, a mirror and a probe under artificial lighting. Children received instructions on proper nutrition, oral hygiene, tooth protection and elimination of bad habits. Results Among 112 examined boys and girls of selected ages, very high person caries index (PCI) was found (78.57%). A total of 548 caries affected teeth were found (boys 331 (24.62%), girls 217 (16.14%) (p <0.05)). Fifty-nine children had caries lesions on permanent teeth (boys 39 (2.9%), girls 20 (1.5%) (p <0.05)). Sagital abnormalities of the bite were present in 39 (34.82%) children, while 38 (33.92%) anomalies were related to vertical bite irregularities, 10 (8.92%) of them had open bite and 28 subjects (25%) had deep bite (p> 0.05). Conclusion Large number of teeth was affected with caries lesions (548) in eighth-year-olds, while orthodontic anomalies, mostly sagital abnormalities of bite were found in 39 subjects.

“…Dujister et al reported that one of the most important factors that influenced weight gain and growth in children was the impact of oral health on sleeping [27]. It was suggested that since chronic pain negatively affects sleeping, disturbance in production of growth hormones can lead to retardation of growth [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Therefore poor sleeping due to pain may have also affected performance of the athletes in the present study.…”

“…Oral examinations were conducted using diagnostic dental equipment and performed in accordance with the criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO). For the assessment of caries prevalence, the DMFT index was used [20][21][22]. In order to eliminate inter-examiner variability, all clinical examinations and interviews were carried out at the Kirikkale University (Faculty of Dentistry, Clinics of Operative Dentistry) and were carried out by the same experienced dentist.…”

Aim: Poor oral hygenia status affects nutrition and sleep in children and it is reported to have a negative influence on growth and development. Therefore, similarly it may negatively affect young athletes' performance in sports activities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between oral hygenia and athletic performance in child athletes from the Sports Academy of Kırıkkale University. Material and Methods:Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index (DMFT) scores were recorded for each subject and sports performance tests were performed. Results:The agility (Tdrill, Zigzag, 505, LCDT) and short sprint (10m, 20m, 30m best) tests conducted in this research showed that athletes whose DMFT values were over 3 were more successful than athletes whose DMFT values were equal or more than 3 (P < 0.01). Moreover, the results from Bosco test revealed that athletes whose DMFT values less than 3 were significantly more successful (P < 0.01). Also a correlation between DMFT values and results of the performance tests were found. Conclusion:These results highlight the importance of informing young athletes regarding oral health. To cite this article: Bağlar S, Ayan S, Yapıcı H, Arıkan V. The relationship between physical performance and oral and dental health in child athletes. Turk J Clin Lab 2017; 8(1): 11-15 ÖZ Amaç: Kötü ağız hijyeninin çocuklarda beslenme ve uykuyu etkilediği ve büyüme-gelişim üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu durum çocuk sporcuların sportif aktiviteler sırasındaki başarısını da olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. Çalışmamızın amacı Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Spor Akademisindeki çocuk hastaların atletik performansları ile ağız sağlığı arasındaki bir ilişki olup olmadığının değerlendirlmesidir. Keywords Gereç ve Yöntemler:Araştırmaya katılan tüm çocuklara ait "Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index" (DMFT) skorları kaydedilmiş ve spor performans testleri uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: Uygulanan çeviklik (Tdrill, Zigzag, 505, LCDT) ve "short sprint" (10m, 20m, 30m best) testleri, DMFT değerleri 3'ten düşük olan sporcuların, DMFT değerleri 3 ve daha yüksek olan sporculara göre istatistiksel olarak daha başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir (P < 0,01). Bosco testi sonuçlarına göre de DMFT değeri 3'ten daha az olan sporcuların istatistiksel olarak daha başarılı olduğunu göstermiştir (P < 0,01). Ayrıca, DMFT skorları ve performans testi sonuçları arasında korelasyon varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar:Bu sonuçlar çocuk sporcuların ağız sağlığı konusunda bilgilendirilmelerinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
