“…These observations were similar to the results of previous studies that demonstrated higher levels of plaque on molar, lingual and posterior surfaces than on anterior teeth. 12,13 Contrary to above observation, in mouth breathing group, upper anterior area showed greatest GI score and BOP % sites. This observation of our study is consistent with results of previous studies that demonstrated maxillary anterior area as most susceptible to gingival inf lammation in mouth breathing subjects.…”

Mouth breathing has been reported to affect gingival health in children. However, studies on the effect of mouth breathing in adult patients are scarce. Objective: To examine the relationship between mouth breathing and gingival condition and to evaluate the distribution of gingival inflammation in young adult mouth breathing patients. Methods: Study groups comprised of participants with mouth breathing (test group) and nose breathing (control group) patients with gingivitis. Both the groups underwent periodontal examination. PI, GI and BOP % sites were recorded and analyzed statistically for the differences in mean values. Results: Mouth breathing patients showed higher full mouth GI and BOP scores. Upper anterior segment in mouth breathing patients showed highest GI and BOP followed by lower anterior segment, lower posterior and upper posterior region. Conclusion: Within the limits of present study, our findings suggest that relative to control group participants, test group i.e. patients with mouth breathing had higher gingival inflammation and bleeding sites in upper anterior region.

“…Decayed tooth were the main contributor for the decayed-extracted-fi lled score and Care index was only 1.55 [10]. Fortunately, by brushing properly, thoroughly and regularly the appearance of caries and marginal periodontal disease can be prevented [11]. By applying these simple preventative measures teeth can be kept for a long period of time, not to mention that in addition to protecting teeth some auxiliary methods, as the use of a mouthwash play an important role in reducing halitosis and the occurrence of oral cancer [12,13].…”

Objective: The aim of this case-control study was to assess the smoker and non-smoker patients' oral health status versus students. Methods: The study was based on a clinical examination of 210 young adults (118 women, 92 men) aged between 22-32 years. 105 of these were students in the 5 th and 6 th grade of the Faculty of Dentistry in Tîrgu Mureș and the control group was represented by patients. Patients and students were classifi ed into three groups: non-smokers, occasional-and active smokers. The clinical examination evaluated the dental caries, fi llings, extractions, crowns, root remnants and dental plaque. DMF-S index scores were calculated, and with its help the index of treatment need, dental care index and intensity of caries were determined. Results: The dental treatment need index, DMF-S index and intensity of caries showed increased values in patients. Root remnants (p <0.0001), decay (p = 0.0473) and dental plaque (p = 0.0363) were much higher in the group of active smoker students as in the non-smoker students. Among active smoker patients the incidence of dental calculus (p = 0.0005), of root remnants (p = 0.0022) and of fi llings (p = 0.0441) showed a higher value than in the non-smokers. Conclusions: This study showed that compared with non-student patients, in dental students, a better oral hygiene was coupled with healthier teeth and periodontal. Poor oral hygiene together with smoking seems to worsen the oral health status.

ObjectiveTo assess oral hygiene habits, and prevalence of dental caries and erosion in adolescents of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. Methods Cross-sectional study with random cluster sampling involving RESUMOObjetivo Avaliar os hábitos de higiene oral, assim como a prevalência de cárie e erosão dentária em adolescentes em Campina Grande, Paraíba. MétodosEstudo transversal, com amostragem probabilística por conglomerado, envolvendo 201 escolares de 15 anos. Os hábitos de higiene oral foram obtidos por meio de questionário, e os dados socioeconômicos por entrevista. Adotou-se o índice CPO-D (Cariados, Perdidos e Obturados) para determinação da prevalência de cárie e o proposto por O'Sullivan, para avaliação da erosão dentária. Os dados foram analisados por meio do Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 18. Adotou-se um nível de significância de 5%. ResultadosTodos os adolescentes relataram o uso de escova dental e dentifrício, 50,7% reportaram o uso do fio dental, sendo verificada associação entre o sexo e uso de enxaguatório bucal (p<0,05). Em relação à cárie, o CPO-D médio foi de 3,67 e 51,7% possuíam CPO-D inferior ou igual a 3. No tocante à erosão dentária 18,4% da amostra apresentava lesão erosiva, predominando lesões em esmalte (92%). ConclusãoO uso do fio dental foi baixo e os adolescentes revelaram possuir índice insatisfatório. O CPO-D foi moderado e abaixo do relatado para a faixa etária brasileira. A prevalência de erosão dentária foi elevada, com lesões predominantes em esmalte.Termos de indexação: Cárie dentária. Higiene bucal. Erosão dentária.
