“…When analyzing the individual risk of caries in a child, it is necessary to evaluate the data related to his/her social interaction and environment 16,22,26 . It is important to include the mother's data in the child's treatment as she is the reference for the child in matters of health.…”

“…There have been few studies 8,[10][11] into factors related to caries in children below the age of four and the majority [6][7][12][13][14][15][16] are designed to study the etiology of this affliction in older, pre-school children, for example. Most of the studies 3,9,[12][13][15][16][17] analyzing caries in children and their oral health condition, as well as the behavioral condition of the mother, were conducted using a crosssectional design. Thus, the aim of this longitudinal study was to analyze the influence of oral health conditions and socio-behavioral characteristics of pregnant women on the development and experience of caries in their children, after 4 years of follow-up.…”

Longitudinal study into the determining factors of dental caries in children aged 4: socio-behavioral aspects and oral health of pregnant women clinical examination of the children (n=73). The variables studied were: presence of caries in pregnancy (DMFT) and the child (deft), visit to the dentist, oral hygiene habits, diet, socioeconomic and behavioral factors, and were related to two study outcomes: presence of caries during the examination and experience of caries (deft≥1) in children of 4 years of age. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses were conducted with the variables (p<0.05 and 95% CI). Results The average DMFT index of mothers during pregnancy was 12.09 (±2.88) and average deft index of children at 4 years was 1.79 (± 6.1). In the multiple logistic regression analysis, the presence of caries in children was associated with the presence of harmful habits (p=0.04). Caries in the child was statistically associated with brush sharing among family members (p=0.02). ConclusionThe results suggest that behavioral aspects are related to the presence and experience of caries in childhood. Indexing terms: Dental caries. Longitudinal studies. Oral health.

RESUMO ObjetivoAnalisar a influência das condições de saúde bucal e das características sócio-comportamentais de gestantes no desenvolvimento e na experiência de cárie em seus filhos, após 4 anos de acompanhamento. MétodosFoi realizado um estudo longitudinal com pares de mães e filhos, mediante entrevista e exame clínico bucal na gestação. Observações periódicas foram realizadas até os quatro anos completos de idade da criança, momento em que foi realizado o exame clínico na criança (n=73). As variáveis estudadas foram: presença de cárie na gestante (CPOD) e na criança (ceod), visita ao cirurgião-dentista, hábitos de higiene bucal, dieta, fatores socioeconômicos e comportamentais, sendo relacionadas com dois desfechos do estudo: presença de cárie no momento do exame e experiência de cárie (ceod≥1) em crianças aos 4 anos de idade. Foram conduzidas análises bivariadas e multivariada com auxílio do Programa Bioestat (p<0,05 e IC 95%).Resultados O CPOD médio das mães durante a gestação foi 12,09 (±2,88) e ceod médio das crianças aos 4 anos foi 1,79 (±6,1). Na análise de regressão logística múltipla, a presença de cárie nos filhos esteve associada com a presença de hábitos deletérios (p=0,04). A experiência de cárie no filho foi associada estatisticamente com o compartilhamento de escova entre os membros da família (p=0.02). ConclusãoOs resultados sugerem que aspectos comportamentais estão relacionados à presença e experiência de cárie na infância.Termos de indexação: Cárie dentária. Estudos longitudinais. Saúde bucal. Fatores de risco. Fatores socioeconômicos.

Dental caries remains a common disease worldwide. There is evidence indicating that risk factors provide a gender bias, placing men at a higher caries risk. Generally, dental caries disproportionately affects the poor and racial or ethnic minorities worldwide, with men and women suffering more from the disease. This study aims to associate gender with missing tooth surfaces. Two thousand four hundred forty data of the study population with missing tooth surfaces were collected. They were recorded in the DMFS index. This retrospective study was done using the data collected from the educational software of Saveetha Dental College; from June 2019 to April 2020. The results were tabulated, and graphs were obtained. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square test was done. 52.34% of the male study population were more prone to missing tooth surfaces than the 47.66% female study population. 90.45% had 0 to 32 missing tooth surfaces that were more common, 8.11% had 33 to 64 missing tooth surfaces, 1.35% had 65 to 96 missing tooth surfaces, and 0.08% had 97 to 128 missing tooth surfaces. Males had more percentage of 0 to 32 missing tooth surfaces when compared to females48.46% vs 41.97%). This difference was found to be statistically significant (p=0.002). The study showed that the missing tooth surfaces were more common among males than females. Males have poor dietary habit and oral hygiene compared to females. Some of the contributing factors include diet, genes, oral environment, fluoride, caries, etc. More research is needed to define the role of all the contributors more clearly for us to understand the development of caries among both genders more thoroughly and to anticipate the disease process before it begins.

“…The caries reduction is due to different factors, such as: general health improvement, decreased consumption of sugar 3 , treatment and dental diagnosis development as well as the use of various preventive measures, mainly fluorides [4][5] . Nevertheless, the caries illness has still been harmful to human health 6 .…”
