“…Generally, these results were in harmony with many studies (22,26) that prove an inverse relationship between caries incidence and psychological satisfaction. Moreover, it came compatible with the study of Cademartori et al, 2021 (49) who observed that the presence of moderate/severe depressive signals and symptoms was higher in subjects with dental caries experience.…”

Background: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease, prevention of which requires a comprehensive understanding of these factors and their population impact.Aim: to assess dental caries prevalence in Egyptian adolescents concerning some epidemiological factors. Subjects and Methods:A cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted on 1416 Egyptian adolescents (12-19 years old) from Cairo, Delta, and Upper Egypt governments. The personal and sociodemographic variables were obtained through a questionnaire. The clinical assessment of caries prevalence and DMFT indices were calculated, tabulated, and statistically analyzed. Results:The Upper Egypt adolescents showed the lowest prevalence index (48.87 %) and DMFT scores (1.31) than that of Cairo [86.67% & 4.68] and Delta [77.13 % & 3.28] adolescents respectively. However, the girls showed relative lower prevalence and relative higher DMFT indices [71.34 % & 3.17] than boys [71.84 % & 2.95]. The prevalence and DMFT indices of Egyptian adolescents were 71.61 % and 3.05 respectively. Also, it was found that Dental caries in adolescents was directly proportional to age, systemic disease affection, frequency of carbohydrate intake, and the increase in family income and increase of education level at this stage of life. While it was inversely proportional to the improvement of personal career, self-satisfaction, and teeth brushing practice. Conclusion:Egyptian adolescents have a relatively high-caries prevalence and DMFT indices scores especially in civilized areas so they need more efforts and intensive dental health programs to care for their oral health.

“…In this study, the most prevalent oral manifestations, listed in order of decreasing frequency, were caries, which were identified in 13 studies [4,8,9,22,[26][27][28]30,[32][33][34][35][36]; followed by periodontitis in 10 studies [4,8,12,23,[28][29][30]32,33,36]; and gingivitis in 7 studies [8,12,25,30,31,34,35]. Furthermore, pyogenic granuloma was observed in four studies [3,21,26,35] and candidiasis was noted in two studies [26,27].…”

Background: The period of pregnancy is characterized by a multitude of diverse changes that exert a notable impact on the oral cavity of women. During this gestational phase, patients necessitate tailored oral care and specific recommendations to preempt and address potential oral diseases. This systematic review aimed to perform a detailed analysis of the research studies that focused on the oral manifestations observed in pregnant women. Methods: A meticulous search was conducted in the databases Medline, Scopus, and Scielo by employing the following search terms: ((pregnant OR pregnancy)) AND ((“oral manifestation*”) OR (“oral health”)). Articles that were published between 2013 and 2023 and written in English or Spanish and studies that scrutinized oral manifestations in pregnant women and included a diagnosis conducted by a qualified dentist were selected; we excluded articles published before 2013, articles that could not be accessed in full text, studies whose patients were not pregnant women at the time of the study, studies where patients were selected because they had a specific disease, studies where the clinical examination was not performed by a dentist, and articles written in languages other than English or Spanish. Subsequently, the risk of bias in the chosen articles was assessed in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) scale. Results: A total of 20 studies were included in the analysis, following the exclusion and inclusion criteria. These studies were categorized as cross-sectional, cohort, longitudinal, or case–control. Various oral manifestations in pregnant women were examined, with five studies comparing these manifestations with those observed in nonpregnant women. Conclusions: The most prevalent oral manifestations associated with pregnancy encompass dental caries, periodontitis, gingivitis, pyogenic granuloma, and candidiasis. Nonetheless, less common lesions may also emerge during the course of pregnancy.

“…As the sugar-rich diet has an influence on the bacterial load, its’ direct effect are dental caries, a common and costly disease in pregnant women [ 15 ]. Findings of the researchers from Pelotas show the far effect of dental caries in this group of patients, discussing that even depression is mediated by self-perception about oral health [ 16 ]. The authors show that the presence of depressive signals and symptoms was higher in pregnant women with dental caries experience, diverse severity of untreated dental caries, tooth loss, and filled tooth [ 16 ].…”

Background Although pregnancy is a physiological process it causes hormonal changes that can also affect the oral cavity. Pregnancy increases the risk of gum disease inflammation and tooth caries which could affect the health of the developing baby. Proper oral health is crucial both for mother and her babies and is related with mothers’ awareness of this connection. The aim of this study was the self-assessment of women’s both oral health and oral health literacy as well as mothers’ awareness of the connection of oral health and pregnancy. Material and methods In the study anonymous questionnaire was prepared and provided to be filled in by 200 mothers at the age from 19 to 44 y.o. who gave birth in the gynecological clinic. The questionnaire included demographic, and concerning the areas of oral health before and during pregnancy and after the childbirth questions. Results Only 20% of the investigated women underwent the oral examination before the pregnancy and the next 38.5% underwent it intentionally when the pregnancy had been confirmed. As much as 24% of women pointed out lack of awareness of the importance of proper oral hygiene during pregnancy. 41.5% of investigated women declared complaints during the pregnancy concerning teeth or gums and 30.5% underwent dental treatment; 68%, brushed their teeth properly—twice a day; 32% of women observed deterioration of oral health state during the pregnancy. The knowledge of the importance of oral health during pregnancy presented by the majority of mothers was relatively proper, which was strongly connected with higher education status and living in big cities. A significant correlation between higher birth weight and more frequent daily tooth brushing was observed. Both higher frequency of problems concerning the oral cavity and dental treatment during pregnancy were significantly related to the younger age of mothers. Conclusions The knowledge of women concerning of oral health on the management of pregnancy and development of fetus is still insufficient. Gynecologists should inquire pregnant women if they have done dental examination, and provide wider education about importance of oral health in pregnancy.
