“…Dental caries affects without distinction of social class, however, it affects more low-income people, our study showed a prevalence of 100%, being higher than that reported by Soares and others (91.6%) 25 and Aamodt and others (99%) 26 , in adult indigenous residents of Kaingang-Brazil and Chiapas-Mexico; respectively. In relation to the dental caries experience, our study found average scores lower than those reported in adult Guaraní indigenous settlers (DMTF = 13.9) 27 , Xavantes-Brasil (DMTF = 14.25) 28 and from the Park.…”

Oral disorders and eating disorders affect everyone, however,these will be more frequent in vulnerable populations suchas native communities. Aim: Determining the body massindex and the prevalence of dental caries and its clinicalconsequences in native Peruvian communities. Methods:Observational, correlational, cross-sectional study. The sampleconsisted of 169 adults from the native communities selectedfor convenience, meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria.Nutritional status was evaluated through the body mass index,to quantify the experience of dental caries, the DMTF index wasused, the severity was quantified by the significance index ofdental caries, and its clinical consequences when not beingtreated by the PUFA index. The evaluation was carried out innatural light by calibrated observers. The data were analyzedin the STATA v 14 program using frequency distribution tablesand figures, to determine the association, the Pearson’scorrelation coefficient was used. Results: The majority ofresidents had an adequate weight for their height 71 (41.01%),followed by low weight 64 (37.87%), overweight 29 (17.16%)and obesity 5 (2.96% ). The prevalence of dental caries was100% (DMTF = 13.23; SIC = 19.01), of which 68.04% had clinicalconsequences, no association was found between: BMI andDMTF (p = 0.557) BMI and PUFA-index (0.485). Conclusions:No association was found between the body mass index anddental caries and its clinical consequences.

“…Cross-sectional OHIP-14 information was obtained for Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations from Australia and Brazil. Data were drawn from 4 sources: 1) the Australian National Survey of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH), 2004–2006 ( n = 3,899) (Slade et al 2007); 2) a large convenience sample of Indigenous Australian adults living in a rural setting in South Australia ( n = 400) (Parker et al 2012); 3) an oral health survey conducted with Kaingang adults living in an Indigenous land settlement in the south of Brazil ( n = 108) (Soares, Aragão, et al 2019); and 4) a cross-sectional study involving incarcerated women in a correctional facility in the south of Brazil ( n = 305) (Soares, Mendonça, et al 2019). Sampling weights were not applied to estimate networks with NSAOH data.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the structural validity of the Oral Health Impact Profile–14 (OHIP-14) instrument in Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations from Australia and Brazil using a network analysis approach. Methods: Cross-sectional data collected using OHIP-14 were obtained for Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations from Australia and Brazil. Networks were estimated using the Gaussian graphical model. Items of the OHIP-14 instrument are represented as nodes and the partial correlations between items as edges. Dimensionality was assessed using exploratory graph analysis. Structural consistency and item stability were computed using a bootstrap sampling method. Standardized node strength across each dimension was also calculated. Results: Four dimensions were identified across all samples, although the item arrangement of most dimensions presented variation. Similarities with the theoretical domains of the instrument were found. Items from the conceptually derived OHIP-14 domains formed separated clusters or blended with other items in a single dimension. Most dimensions across all samples showed an acceptable structural consistency. Item stability revealed some discrepancies among items of dimensions of both Indigenous networks. Conclusion: The psychometric network perspective adopted in this study provides validation of the OHIP-14 structure in Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations. The structural consistency and item stability analyses showed that both Indigenous networks present a higher number of cross-domain items and less defined boundaries between dimensions. These findings indicate that OHIP-14 does not measure attributes in the same extent among different cultures. Knowledge Transfer Statement This study demonstrates a new analytical framework from which to conceptualize and interpret the construct oral health–related quality of life using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Network graphs facilitate knowledge translation of findings to professionals with no expertise in psychometric methods. OHIP-14 is a valuable tool to oral health research and clinical practice. Differences in conceptions of health may influence the extent that the instrument measures oral health impacts. Consequently, dimension scores do not always provide appropriate measures and should be avoided in research reports and assessments of treatment outcomes.

“…It was reported in the studies conducted among the tribal population, there was a higher number of decayed teeth, and the need for dental extraction among those population was high. The reason for the increased need for extraction could be because of their lack of dental visits which in turn aggravated the oral disease conditions (Arantes and Frazão, 2018;Soares et al, 2019) In the present study the mean DMFT score of the study population was 4.4 whereas, in the study conducted on Sugali Tribes in Telangana Region, the mean DMFT was 5.90 ± 2.28 (Vijayakumar et al, 2017). Also, in a cross-sectional study conducted among 35 to 44 yrs old adults in a tribal population (Soares et al, 2019).Higher DMFT scores were also reported in few other studies (Sampaio et al, 2010;Nascimento et al, 1986;Lalloo et al, 2015) which is a contrast to the results of the present study.…”

“…In the present study, Decayed component of the DMFT score was more when compared with missing and illed component. Whereas in a study it was observed that two-thirds of the DMFT score accounted for missing teeth (Soares et al, 2019)…”

Dental caries, or tooth decay, is an infectious process involving breakdown of the tooth enamel. Caries form through a complex interaction between cariogenic acid-producing bacteria in combination with fermentable carbohydrates and other dietary, genetic, behavioural, social, and cultural factors. Poor oral hygiene and low dental service levels were found in marginalised areas. The study aimed to assess the caries experience of Narikuravars in Thoothukudi district. A cross-sectional study was done among gipsies in Thoothukudi district. Oral health examination was done the gipsies in the above three taluks in which they were present. All the study participants were examined under adequate illumination, and clinical data were collected on dental caries as described by the World Health Organization (WHO). DMFT (Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth) was used to assess the caries experience. For statistical analysis, t-test and ANOVA was used. The total size of the screened population was 164. There were 128 adults and 36 children who are below 18 years of age. Mean Decayed teeth, mean Missed teeth and mean Filled teeth was found to be 3.38±1.730, 1.01± 2.109, 0.01± 0.088 respectively. Decayed teeth were most common in the study population. Mean DMFT score among the adult study population was found to be 4.40 ± 2.603. The difference between the different age groups to Mean DMFT and was found to be statistically significant (F value- 22.679; p < 0.05). The present study concluded that the experience of dental caries was low in the study population. It was more prevalent in males as compared to the female population.
