“…The confocal laser scanning microscopy images showed more severe destruction of surface enamel with loss of interprismatic structures in the deciduous compared with permanent enamel [Sønju Clasen et al, 1997], so it is important to detect and quantify demineralization in deciduous dentition as early as possible. A number of investigations have reported the relationship between caries experience in the deciduous dentition and that in the permanent dentition [Bruszt, 1959;Hill et al, 1967;Poulsen and Holm, 1980;Seppä et al, 1989;Helm and Helm, 1990;Downer, 1994]. These results indicate that the caries experience in childhood is generally continued into adolescence and beyond.…”

“…Deciduous enamel has less acid resistance than permanent enamel and lesion progression in deciduous enamel is faster than in permanent enamel [Featherstone and Mellberg, 1981;Shellis, 1984;Sønju Clasen et al, 1997]. Additionally, a high caries incidence in the deciduous dentition usually predicts a high caries incidence in the permanent dentition [Hill et al, 1967;Poulsen and Holm, 1980;Seppä et al, 1989;Helm and Helm, 1990;Downer, 1994]. Therefore, when developing new caries diagnostic techniques it is important that they are equally suitable for the detection and quantification of caries in both the primary and the permanent dentition.…”

Caries is a disease that affects both deciduous and permanent dentitions. Caries progresses more rapidly in deciduous enamel than in permanent enamel. Therefore, new caries diagnostic methods need to be tested on the deciduous teeth as well. Quantitative laser–induced fluorescence (QLF I) as well as the quantitative light–induced fluorescence (QLF II) seem promising for the quantification of mineral loss from dental caries but have only been tested on the permanent dentition. The objective of this study was to determine and compare the ability of QLF I and QLF II to quantify mineral loss from carious lesions in both deciduous and permanent teeth. Thirty sound deciduous and 30 sound permanent teeth were cleaned and divided into three groups each containing 10 deciduous and 10 permanent teeth. Windows on the buccal or labial enamel surfaces were demineralized for 48, 72, or 96 h. Images of demineralized enamel were captured using QLF I and QLF II. The images were analyzed to determine the mean change in fluorescence radiance (ΔF, %). The teeth were then sectioned for assessment of lesion depth (µm) and integrated mineral loss (IML, vol% ×µm) using transverse microradiography (TMR), as the ‘gold standard’ for lesion analysis. The results indicated a good correlation for ΔF between QLF I and QLF II in both deciduous (r = 0.96) and permanent teeth (r = 0.98). There was a good correlation between ΔF and TMR (lesion depth and IML) in deciduous teeth (r = 0.76 and 0.84 with QLF I, r = 0.81 and 0.88 with QLF II). In permanent teeth, the correlation between ΔF and TMR (lesion depth and IML) was lower than in deciduous teeth (r = 0.07 and 0.53 with QLF I, r = 0.15 and 0.62 with QLF II). From these results it can be concluded that either QLF method is capable of quantifying mineral loss in early carious lesions in deciduous teeth. Moreover, under the conditions of this study, the use of either QLF method to quantify mineral loss in early carious lesions in deciduous teeth is slightly more accurate than in permanent teeth.

“…As early as 1933, a relationship was reported between the caries experience of the decidu ous dentition and the permanent first molars [Frenzel, 1933]. Later studies have confirmed the existence of a relationship between the caries experience in both dentitions [Bruszt, 1959;Hill et al, 1967;Mansbridge, 1967;Adler, 1968;Poulsen and Holm, 1980;Raadal et al, 1984], Several studies have also shown a relation ship between caries experience and caries increment in the permanent dentition [Koch, 1970;Sutcliffe, 1973;Birkeland et al, 1976;De Liefde, 1982], So far, none of these studies have offered reliable caries pre dictor tests. However, it has been reported that among the variety of screening tests, the DM F index has the best potential for predicting caries risk in children [Honkala et al, 1984;Bader et al, 1986].…”

The present study aims at determining a reliable screening test for the prediction of caries. In order to identify children at risk of caries, individual classifications were recorded for 268 children at the age of 7 years, according to different screening criteria of the caries experience in the deciduous dentition and according to caries increment as validation criterion. In order to determine the best screening criterion, ratios of sensitivity, specificity and false-positive and false-negative ratios were computed and plotted in receiver operating characteristic curves. The best screening criterion at ≤ 4 dmft resulted in a sensitivity ratio of 0.69, specificity of 0.72 and diagnostic power of 0.78 for caries increment in the permanent dentition at the age of 7–11 years. The potential of the screening is elucidated with an example, showing that 48% of the expenses needed for a preventive treatment for all children could be saved by selecting children at risk with the aid of a screening test. The disadvantage of this decision making is that 19% of the children who develop caries would not benefit from the preventive treatment.

Aim:In the deprived communities with high caries incidence, determination of high-risk children in early age is a valuable tool to apply the individual and/or community-level preventive measures. The purpose of this 5-years follow-up study was to examine the relationship between early caries occurrence on primary incisors and the future caries occurrence on both first permanent molars and all permanent dentition in the children living in rural Turkey.Materials and Methods:Total 34 children living in rural-districts of southeastern Anatolia were included, and divided in both test (caries positive for maxillary primary incisors) and control groups (caries free on the same teeth). During the 5-years they were examined annually regarding new caries occurrence in either first permanent molars for the Decayed, Missing, Filled Tooth Index [(DMF(T)[6])] or all permanent dentition (DMF(T)).Results:At the beginning of the study, the age range of the children was 3 to 5 (mean ± St dv; 4.03 1.24), and d(t)[max 1,2] and df(t) indices for the deciduous dentition of test and control groups were 2.65 ± 0.78; 4.29 ± 2.08 and 0; 0.24 ± 0.43, respectively. After 5-years mean DMF(T)[6] and total DMF(T) for test and control groups were 1.88 ± 0.66; 3.12 ± 0.69 and 0.47 ± 0.62; 0.65 ± 0.93, respectively (for each parameters the difference was statistically significant P < 0.01). For test group the number of caries on primary-incisors (d(t)[max 1,2]) was correlated with the DMF(T)[6] (r = 0.80) and DMF(T) (r = 0.59).Conclusion:The caries-information including the early primary incisors could be helpful in identifying children with increased risk so that preventive measures could be directed at those who fit the high-risk-caries profile.
