“…In the study by Gorbatova, no difference has been reported between rural and urban regions. The similarity of service provision in both rural and urban regions in the mentioned study has been reported as the reason for the discrepancy with the results of the present study [28].…”

Background: Oral hygiene is one of the most important health issues in children that affects the health of children. This study aimed to investigate dental caries prevalence, Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (dmft and DMFT Indexes) and the associated factors among 9 -11 years old children.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 4226 primary school students aged 9-11 years old using the census method in Iran. Data were collected by valid and reliable researcher-made checklists. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 24 and using Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Logistic Regression tests.Results: The prevalence of permanent and primary dental caries in all students was 39.73% and 67.72%. The mean (standard deviation) of DMFT in the 9, 10 and 11 age groups were 0.6 (1.11), 0.97 (1.39) and 1.23 (1.63), respectively. The mean (standard deviation) dmft in the 9, 10 and 11 age groups were 3.14 (2.56), 2.46 (2.34) and 1.37 (1.84), respectively. There was a significant difference in DMFT and dmft between age groups (P<0.001). Results of multivariate logistic regression showed that there is a significant relationship between gender, birth rate, place of residence, mother's education, father's education and use of mouthwash with DMFT index (P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression showed that the variables of insurance, residence and mother's job were significantly correlated with dmft index (P<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of dental caries was high. Variables of gender, birth rate, parental education, place of residence, use of mouthwash, having health insurance and mother's job were effective in predicting dental caries in students. it seems necessary to hold educational courses to increase awareness among students, educators, and parents about oral Health.

“…The prevalence of dental caries in our study was higher than in many developed (4,22,23) and some developing countries (12), but our results were very similar to other post-soviet countries. (26)(27)(28)33). These similarities might be explained by the common challenges in transition period after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, when the access to public dental services for children dropped dramatically and dental healthcare became mostly private.…”

Background The information on dental caries experience and its determinants in Central Asia is limited. The aim of the present study was to provide estimates of the mean levels, prevalence and severity of dental caries, and to identify the factors associated with these characteristics in the population of school-aged children from four regions in Kazakhstan.Methods We examined 2149 schoolchildren aged 11–15 years from 4 regions of Kazakhstan. The overall response rate was 68%. Dental caries experience was assessed clinically, and standardized questionnaire was used to gather sociodemographic and oral health behavior information. Caries experience was measured by using DMFT (decayed, missing, and filled teeth) index. Negative binomial hurdle regression model was used to assess the relationship between the caries experience and covariates.Results The overall prevalence of dental caries was 74%, obvious decayed teeth was found in 44% of subjects, while only 6% had missing teeth and 24% had their teeth treated. The mean DMFT index was 2.48 among 12-year-olds and 3.9 among 15-year-olds. There were large differences of dental caries experience between the regions, with all indicators (decayed, missed and filled teeth) being less favourable in Semey region. The caries prevalence experience in the studied population was associated with higher age, geographic region, ethnicity, mother’s education, material deprivation, frequent consumption of sugar-added drinks, age of start brushing the teeth and dental attendance pattern. Age, region, ethnicity, dietary habits and dental attendance pattern were found to be significantly associated with the predicted degree of caries experience among those with caries experience.Conclusions The high prevalence of dental caries and large differences in caries indices between the regions in Kazakhstan might be related to rapid westernization in the Central Asian region and associated nutrition transition. Also, the increasing burden of untreated caries in less advantaged populations was observed. Parent education and material deprivation may be a very important determinants of the oral health among adolescents in Kazakhstan.

“…Similarly, the entire country of Greenland is serviced by only 16 Danish midwives, leaving more than 60 communities without local birthing services [5] . Due to long distances, preventative services such as oral health care are commonly not available throughout northern areas such as Alaska, Nunavut, and Russia [7] . In Northern Russia, only one oncologist services the entire region, which encompasses nine small hospitals and four clinics [8] .…”

Transforming the health landscape in northern communities: Shared leadership for innovation in nursing education

People living in northern areas throughout the world experience poorer health status than their southern neighbours. Accessibility to health care services and availability of health care professionals play a role in the building of health capacity in northern regions. The College of Nursing at the University of Saskatchewan developed a principled approach to the creation of an indigenous nursing workforce in Northern Saskatchewan. This approach builds on Williams' concept of Therapeutic Landscapes, which recognizes the connectedness among environment, social interaction, and symbolic meaning within a population, and offers a way to analyze the influence of the contextual factors of place on health, and values and attitudes on well-being. In order to succeed, the College developed mutually beneficial, capacity-building relationships with northern communities, finding local champions to assist them. They reorganized their administrative structure to give visibility to their northern relationships, and built a distributive learning approach based on the commitment to "learn where you live". Measuring the success of such approaches requires the development of new and innovative evaluation strategies, beyond the usual markers of individual student success. It requires approaches that capture the impact of such education programming on the fabric of the community as a whole.
