Concepts of health and disease and caries prediction: a literature review

Abstract— Biomedical determinants of dental caries have been more extensively investigated than psychosocial factors and their impact on caries prevalence and incidence seems to be greater. However, a majority of these investigations relate to children and adolescents. An implementation of social and psychologic variables may be more relevant regarding dental caries in adults. In addition, a multidisciplinary approach might improve our understanding of dental caries as a multifactorial disease and bridge the gap between a biomedical concept and a more holistic approach to dental health.     

Caries experience and fluorosis prevalence in Chilean children from different socio-economic status

Abstract Caries experience and enamel fluorosis prevalence in 8-year-old children belonging to different socio-economic classes were determined in two Chilean twin cities that are served by optimally fluoridated community water from the same waterworks facility. Low socio-economic status (LSES) children had a higher mean dm ft and DMFT indices (P<0.001) than high socioeconomic status (HSES) children. Prevalence of enamel fluorosis in the permanent teeth of LSES children was 0.79, significantly higher (X²= 9.0; P<0.003) than the value 0.59 found in HSES children. The proportion of Dean's scores 2. 3, 4 and 5 in first molars, mandibular and maxillary incisors in LSES children was higher than in HSES children (P<0.001). Differences in prevalence and seventy of enamel fluorosis between both groups are tentatively attributed lo a different pattern of tap water and tea consumption at pre-school ages. Suggestions are advanced to minimize the undesirable prevalence and severity of enamel fluorosis.     

FRACTURE OF ABUTMENT SCREW SUPPORTING A CEMENTED IMPLANT-RETAINED PROSTHESIS WITH EXTERNAL HEXAGON CONNECTION: A CASE REPORT WITH SEM EVALUATION

One of the causes of implant failures in cemented implant-retained prostheses is the fracture of abutment screw or UCLA abutment. This article reports a case of simultaneous fracture of two UCLA abutments screws occurring in an implant-supported prosthesis placed in the mandibular molar region. The fractured structures were examined under scanning electron microscopy to investigate the probable causes of the failure, which were not related to failures on materials or fabrication of the screws, but rather were due to shear forces. The misfit in cemented prostheses may be the most likely cause of shear force generation.     

Identification of antibacterial principles against Streptococcus mutans and inhibitory principles against glucosyltransferase from the seed of Areca catechu L

During the course of our studies on dental caries prevention by traditional medicines, fatty acids (myristic and oleic acids etc.) and procyanidins from betel nuts (the seed of Areca catechu L.) were respectively revealed to be the major antibacterial principles against a primary cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans, and the major inhibitory principles against glucosyltransferase from S. mutans.     

安徽省学生近20年常见病患病情况分析

目的了解安徽省学生视力低下、龋齿、贫血的患病状况及变化趋势,为开展学生常见病防治工作提供参考。方法对1985,1995,2000,2005年4个不同时期安徽省学生体质健康调研资料7～22岁学生视力低下、龋齿、贫血等常见病的患病状况进行分析。结果20a间,学生贫血患病率明显下降,从1985年的55.5%下降到2005年的5.3%;龋患率1985年至2000年明显上升,从32.1%上升到42.6%,2000年以后呈下降趋势,达18.8%;近视率逐年上升并居高不下,从1985年的23.0%上升到2005年的55.2%,尤其是高中生和大学生,高达70%～80%。结论通过开展学生常见病防治工作,学生贫血患病率和龋患率明显下降,但学生近视率逐年上升并居高不下,应引起有关部门的重视。     

Dentition planning with image-based occlusion analysis

Purpose To develop an easy-to-use, dentition planning method which is based on three-dimensional (3D) computer planning technology to replace conventional plaster-cast occlusion planning techniques. Methods The optimal dental occlusion is defined according to the condition of centric occlusion, i.e. after bringing occlusal surfaces of mandibular and opposing maxillary arches into identical 3D position. This identical position of occlusal surfaces represents the common reference frame for the 3D manipulation of all graphical elements. The planning procedure involves the following steps: (1) the optimal occlusal surface is approximated as triangle and localized both on the maxilla and mandible; (2) the original volumetric model is resampled according to the occlusal orientations; (3) the program reads in the models of ideal upper and lower dental arches from files, reshapes those to the patient anatomy and visualizes the local alignment on separate panels for mesiodistal and faciolingual inclinations. The final goal of the proposed method is to combine the requirements of functional and aesthetic designs and create an input for orthodontics, implantology and maxillofacial surgery. Results In the present study the optimal dental occlusion is created by image resampling after bringing the occlusal surfaces of mandibular and opposing maxillary arches into identical 3D position. This identical position of occlusal surfaces represents the common reference frame for manipulation of all graphical elements. Conclusions The proposed graphical environment was able to fit the elements of the ideal dentition curve to patient computed tomography under predefined centric occlusion. Rotation and scaling transformations of teeth were possible in the reformatted volumetric views about any of the axes of the teeth’s own reference space.     

Evaluation of Class I ART restorations in Brazilian schoolchildren: three-year results

Atraumetic Restorative Treatment (ART) has been adopted around the world to avoid unnecessary extractions, especially in non-industrialized countries The development of specific glass ionomer cements marketed for the ART technique has contributed to the technical success rate. In this study. Ketac-Molar^a (3M ESPE. Dental Medzn Germany) was used to restore 150 Class I cavities in 118 Brazilian public school children, aged from 7–12 years. At baseline and at subsequent recalls. CPI probes with a ball-end of 0.5 millimeters (mm) were used to assess loss of restorative material, and photographic color transparencies of restorations were made. After six months. 83 patients returned for follow-up examinations, with 71.8% of their restorations designated as acceptable. After three years. 49 patients with 57 ART-restorations were evaluated, with 21.0% of these restorations graded as acceptable Another 29.8% of their restorations had been replaced by more permanent materials. The main objective of the ART technique is tooth retention; this was achieved for 94.7% of the restored teeth in a high caries risk population who returned for recalls.
