“…[7][8][9] In these previous studies, all 10 variables were employed according to the original manual of the Cariogram. Saliva tests are, however, rarely conducted during routine orthodontic treatment in Greece as a result of the extra costs, special equipment, and trained personnel required for such testing.…”

Objective: To compare the Cariogram caries risk profiles with and without salivary buffer capacity and mutans streptococci (MS) counts in adolescents with fixed orthodontic appliances. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 90 healthy Greek adolescents who were undergoing orthodontic treatment. The Cariogram risk model was applied through a questionnaire and clinical and salivary examinations. The actual chance of avoiding new caries was calculated, and participants were categorized into three groups (0-40% 5 high caries risk, 41-60% 5 medium caries risk, and 61-100% 5 low caries risk) using a nine-item Cariogram or by excluding either salivary buffer capacity or MS or both. Cohen's Kappa statistical analysis was used for comparing the Cariogram outcome with and without salivary variables. The distribution of variables was compared by nonparametric marginal homogeneity tests. Results: Using the Cariogram with nine variables, 62% of the patients were assigned to the high caries risk category, 13% to the medium risk category, and 24% to the low risk category. Omission of salivary buffer capacity did not alter the risk categories significantly, while more subjects were assigned to the medium risk category when MS counts were excluded. The difference between the nine-item Cariogram and the MS-reduced version, however, was not statistically significant (P 5 .07).Conclusions: The Cariogram model may be used both with and without salivary tests for risk grouping in orthodontic practice.

RESUMENObjetivo: evaluar el riesgo de caries dental en los estudiantes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Santo Tomás en Bucaramanga y examinar la relación entre los factores incluidos en el examen y los resultados obtenidos por el Cariogram ® . Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de corte transversal. La muestra la conformaron 24 estudiantes de I semestre. Para obtener el riesgo de caries de cada individuo, expresado como "la posibilidad de evitar nuevas lesiones", se hizo un examen clínico (CPO-D e índice de placa de Sillness y Löe), se analizaron muestras de saliva (Lactobacillus, Streptococcus mutans, secreción de saliva y capacidad tampón) y se diligenciaron cuestionarios de dieta. En el análisis univariado se determinaron las medidas de resumen y dispersión para todos los datos. El análisis bivariado incluyó la t de Student y el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson y en el multivariado, una regresión lineal. Para todas las pruebas, p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: gran parte de los estudiantes tuvieron un riesgo bajo de caries dental con una oportunidad de 76,8% para evitar futuras lesiones. El CPOD promedio de la muestra fue de 4,58 ± 3,32 y el del índice de placa fue 0,72 ± 1,01. Se observó una correlación significativa entre los resultados obtenidos por el Cariogram ® y las aplicaciones de fluoruro, la secreción de saliva, la capacidad de amortiguación y los niveles de Streptococcus mutans. Las variables de predicción que aportaron más al modelo fueron la capacidad de amortiguación por debajo de 4, la secreción de saliva por debajo de 0,5 ml/min y el recuento de Streptococcus mutans. Conclusión: la población evaluada mostró un bajo riesgo de caries dental. El modelo explicó el 90% de la variabilidad del riesgo de caries dental, que aumentó cuando el flujo de saliva era muy bajo y el pH de la saliva estaba por debajo de 4. CARIES RISK ASSESSMENT IN DENTAL STUDENTS USING CARIOGRAM ® COMPUTER MODEL: A PRELIMINARY REPORT ABSTRACTObjective: to assess caries risk in dental students from the School of Dentistry at the Santo Tomas University (Bucaramanga, Colombia) and to examine the relationship between the caries related factors and the results given by Cariogram ® . Methods: a descriptive observational cross sectional study was done. The sample consisted of 24 dental students from first grade. Data collection included a clinical examination (DMFT and plaque scores), saliva sampling (lactobacillus and mutans streptococci levels, saliva secretion and buffer capacity) and a dietary questionnaire. The caries risk of each individual, expressed as the chance to avoid new caries, was then obtained. Means, modes, medians and standard deviations were determined for all data. Bivariate analyses were performed by Student's t test and by Pearson correlation coefficient. A linear regression was done for the multivariate analysis. For all tests, p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: most of the students had a low caries risk with a 76,8% chance to avoid future caries. The mean DMFT of the s...

“…3 Günümüze kadar araştırmacılar birçok çevresel faktörü tek başına veya birlikte ele alarak çürük riskini değerlendirmişlerdir. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Bunun yanında sadece çevresel faktörlerin değerlendirilmesinin diş çürüğünün oluşumunu açıklamadığının altı çizilmiştir. Çünkü aynı çevresel risk faktörlerine maruz kalan bireylerin çürük riskinin aynı olmadığı belirlenmiş ve bu sonuç çürüğün etiyolojisinde genetik faktörlerin de rol oynadığını akla getirmiştir.…”

CARIES RISK AND GENETIC ABSTRACTDental caries is a multifactorial disease and the etiology of caries has been studied for many years. However when exposed to the same levels of environmental risk factors, some patients may be more susceptible or resistant to caries than others. Those differences may be due to genetic factors in the etiopathogenesis of dental caries. In the past, the importance of genetic factors was disregarded mainly because the dental caries was present in almost the entire population. The last decade has seen a steep increase in research related to genetic factors influencing individuals" caries risk. Genetic research applied to dental caries began in the 1930s with experimental reports in animals and human observational research. Only recently, have some studies begun to search for gene polymorphisms in humans. These genes can be grouped in specific categories, based on the factor influencing dental caries. The major candidate gene categories to date include; enamel formation genes, immune response genes, genes related to saliva and genes related to taste and dietary habits. Due to the complex characteristics of the disease, the strong influence from several biological and environmental factors, and the small number of genetic studies related to dental caries, the genetic basis still requires further study. The aim of this review is to provide a brief description of the current genetic studies and gene polymorphisms related to dental caries.
