“…Our data highlight another important fact, our educational intervention has reduced the number of children who brush their teeth independently without any parental support. In fact, it is strongly suggested that oral hygiene for children from 0 to 3 years should be complete parents responsibility (5,20,21); also it is important that parents set a good example: the child who sees parents brushing their teeth daily several times a day is spontaneously led to imitate them (1,2,13).…”

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate if a parents’ training program on nutritional and oral health behaviours held by health professionals can influence children habits in a sample of kindergartens in Northern Italy.Methods: The study designed was a longitudinal study. The study population were children aged 6–36 months attending four kindergartens. Parents were invited to participate filling out a self-administered questionnaire, and after having returned the informed consent form they were asked to participate to a training meeting. Parents had to fill out a questionnaire at baseline and after 3 months from the training meeting. The questionnaire included information on socio-demographics about parents, oral hygiene habits of parents and child, and eating habits of child. Wald test was used to analyse data collected. Results: After the training program, almost all children were able to use a toothbrush suitable for kids (from 91% at the baseline to 99% after the 3-months). The analysis shows that the given training significantly increased the number of children who use toothpaste from 86% at baseline (95%CI: 85%-88%) to 96% (95%CI: 94%-98%). The use of fluoride toothpaste significantly increased after the training intervention as the baseline measure of 59% proportion increased to 80%. The intervention study showed a positive impact on the number of pupils who wash their tooth more than twice per week and on the timing of oral hygiene as both night and morning time proportion increased after the 3-month. Regarding the feeding habits the given consultation resulted in a statistically significant increase regarding the importance of morning snack from 94% at baseline (95%CI: 92%-96%) to 97% after 3-month (95%CI: 94%-99%). Another promising effect of the education is the decrease from 47% at baseline (95%CI: 46%-49%) to 42% after the study (95%CI:41%-43%) of the bad habit of having a snack after dinner.Conclusions: Results of our study have shown that a parents training intervention can have good results on the oral hygiene and eating habits of children of this age group. To underline the importance of several professional figures who work together with a common purpose.

Caries in children with lactose intolerance and cow's milk protein allergy

Dental caries in 5-to-8-year-old children with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) and lactose intolerance (LI), their treatment needs, and the consumption of milk-based products and milk derivatives by these patients were investigated. A cross-sectional study was undertaken with 200 children in southern Brazil in 2017. The clinical examination was based on the World Health Organization criteria and a questionnaire was sent to parents or legal guardians to collect information on the children's food intake, pre-existing systemic diseases, medication use, and CMPA and LI. Standardization was performed to verify concordance among examiners (kappa = 0.96). Caries prevalence was 67.50% in children with CMPA or LI, but 34.37% in those without these conditions. The mean dmft (decayed, missing, and filled teeth) index in children with CMPA or LI was 1.75 ± 1.84, significantly higher than among non-allergic or lactose-tolerant children (0.83 ± 1.60) (p < 0.001). In children with CMPA or LI, the mean for treatment needs was 1.58 ± 1.50. Lactose-free milk was the most frequently consumed food among allergic/intolerant children (65.00%), with a mean dmft of 2.00 ± 2.08, higher than that obtained for those without CMPA/LI (0.82 ± 0.87), showing no significant difference (p = 0.129). Although dental caries and treatment needs in primary dentition were associated with CMPA or LI, children's intake of replacement foods did not pose any risk for the development of carious lesions. Statistically significant differences were obtained for the prevalence and severity of dental caries. This shows the need for treatment of children with CMPA or LI, who had the worst caries prevalence and severity rates.

“…(1) Estimation of the relative cariogenic potential of foods is of special importance due to the multiplicity of nutritional factors, in a way that great effort has been done for many years to assess the relative cariogenic potential of different food products. (3) Multiple factors play role in the assessment of cariogenic potential including the amount of fermentable carbohydrates, adherence, physical form of carbohydrates and their degree of oral clearance, the effect of mixed consumption of food products, order of consumption, frequency of consumption, etc. Lack of awareness regarding the cariogenic potential of food products leads to inappropriate food intake, dental caries, tooth loss and malnutrition, etc.…”

Background and Aim: Reduction of dental plaque pH is an effective factor in the incidence of dental caries. One of the common methods for assessment of the cariogenic potential of food products is the study of plaque pH changes in the oral environment. The present study was performed due to the importance of dental plaque and its known complications and also the increase in consumption of industrial fruit juices which are encouraged nowadays as healthy drinks and also the positive effect of pomegranate juice on the amount of dental plaque which has been mentioned in the reports. Methods and Materials:This clinical trial was performed with crossover design. Complete prophylaxis was performed during the first session. Then, the participants were asked to refrain from oral hygiene methods for 48 hours and not to eat or drink for at least 2 hours before the experiment. The baseline plaque pH was measured, and afterwards 10 cc of fruit juice was kept in mouth for 2 minutes and then swallowed. Afterwards, plaque pH was measured at time intervals of 2, 5, 7, 10 and 30 minutes. After one week of wash out period, the participants were again evaluated by the same method and with the other type of fruit juice. The measurement of plaque pH was performed with microtouch method by use of Metrohm electrode. The data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. Results: PH in pomegranate juice group before fruit juice intake equaled 6.73± 0.24 and reached 5.57±0.34 at the fifth minute and finally reached 6.19±0.32 at the 30th minute (p˂0.01). Also, in orange juice group, pH before intake equaled 6.16±6.8 and reached 5.62±0.17 at the seventh minute and 6.15±0.2 at the 30th minute (p˂0.01). The maximum fall in pH for both fruit juices occurred at the fifth and seventh minutes. pH after consumption of both fruit juices began to increase from the tenth minute. These two fruit juices were not significantly different regarding plaque pH at the zero minute and at the time of maximum pH fall and at the 30th minute. (p˂0.08) Conclusion: The results showed that plaque pH after consumption of both fruit juices falls below the critical level for seven minutes and this decline is similar for both fruit juices.
