The objective of this research was to compare the healthy behaviors and caries index of young people in school to obtain an overview of their lifestyles, which would enable the development of educational programs for the promotion of oral health. The study design was carried out using a descriptive, cross-sectional, and observational methodology with a mixed approach. 380 twelve-year-old students participated in this research conducted in the city of Riobamba-Ecuador. The techniques used were observational and surveys with their respective instruments, the Dental Clinical History, and the Health Behavior in School-aged Children 2014-Spain questionnaire. The community index of the Decayed, Missing due to caries, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) reflected a high level (6.47) in the study subjects. A variety of foods such as fruits, chips, vegetables, candy, sugar-containing drinks, meat, fish, dairy, and cereals were consumed at least once a week by most students. Two statistically significant associations were demonstrated in this investigation. The first one was between fruit consumption and the DMFT index, the second one was between vegetable consumption and the DMFT index. Both associations showed significant values (p) of 0.049 and 0.028, respectively; these were not determining indicators since caries is a multifactorial pathology, which can develop not only as a product of poor eating habits.

Prevention and Treatment of Caries and Its Complications in Temporary Teeth in a Dental Clinic

et al. 2023

Damage to the hard tissues of the teeth is most common among children. This applies to both temporary and permanent bite. Untimely prevention and treatment of caries leads to the progression of the process in the tissues of the tooth, the occurrence of complications. The aim of the study was to explore the possibility of using various methods of treatment and prevention of caries in deciduous teeth and its complications in children in a dental clinic. For the period from 2020 to 2023, 1659 patients aged 2-6 years old applied to the dental clinic. Each patient was examined, individual training was given to them and their parents in oral hygiene, a treatment plan was drawn up and preventive measures were taken. Recommendations were given on rational nutrition. Sealing was applied in temporary molars within a year after their eruption. After 2 years, 90% of patients did not reveal caries of temporary molars. In children of this age group, the treatment of diseases of the teeth’ hard tissues can be carried out using local anesthesia, under nitrous-nitrogen-oxygen sedation and under general anesthesia. The choice of treatment method will be influenced by the total amount of sanitation and the compliance of the child. In 72% of patients, the intervention was performed under general anesthesia. The use of this method in the clinic makes it possible to treat a certain number of teeth in one visit and work with a cohort of children who are not ready for the usual conditions of admission. The most common pathology treated was caries, accounting for 89% of the children who visited the clinic. Used photopolymer composite filling materials. A complication of caries (inflammation of the pulp or periodontal tissues) was treated in 64% of patients who sought dental care. Each patient underwent an X-ray examination, an orthopantomogram, or targeted images, depending on the age of the child, to decide on the choice of treatment method (tooth preservation or extraction). So, 5.4% of the teeth that needed intervention by a pediatric dentist were subject to extraction. Complicated caries is accompanied by significant destruction of the tooth crown, which requires appropriate treatment approaches. In such cases, standard crowns were more often used, which made it possible to restore the anatomical shape of temporary molars, their function and achieve a long-term treatment effect until the period of physiological changes in the teeth. There are several options for crowns that can be used in pediatric dentistry standard steel crowns (stainless steel crowns), for the restoration of the chewing group of teeth, metal crowns with plastic veneer, for the restoration of the anterior group of teeth and crowns based on a framework of zirconium dioxide, which are universal and biocompatible with periodontal tissues. Admission of children to the dental clinic allows the use of modern methods of diagnosis, anesthesia, treatment, and preventive measures. An important point is the cooperation of a pediatric dentist with the patient's parents, which is the key to obtaining maximum positive results, restore chewing function, aesthetic appearance, achieve an increase in the resistance of hard dental tissues and prevent caries and its further development.

The aim of the research: To analyze the adaptation and strength of endocrowns for restoration of endodontically treated teeth made of different materials according to the data of previous studies. Materials and methods of the study: A literature search was conducted using the electronic database PubMed to find studies related to the use of surgical templates during implant surgery. The search term was "endocrown", and the search range covered the period from January 2012 to December 2022. The review included in vitro studies. Literature reviews, abstracts, articles describing the use of endocrowns for the treatment of temporary teeth, incisors, canines, premolars, and technical articles were excluded. Scientific novelty: The data on the adaptation and strength of endocrowns for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth was structured and clarified. Conclusions: In the course of the retrospective analysis, a sample of 32 scientific articles was formed. The majority of the analyzed studies demonstrate that the design of the tooth preparation and the choice of material for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth are crucial for fracture resistance. The need for post-and-pin restorations has decreased with the introduction of adhesive methods. Endocrowns can be effectively used as an alternative to standard post and fixed partial dentures, especially for the restoration of severely damaged teeth. The advantages of endocrowns over traditional procedures include better aesthetics, improved mechanical performance, lower cost and shorter waiting times in the clinic. However, clinicians should be cautious when choosing the type of restoration after endodontic treatment. Long-term clinical studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of the practical use of endocrowns.
