“…Consistent with the infrequency of brushing found in this study, it was also identified that more than half of Salvadoran older adults have "Poor or Very Poor" hygiene, similar to the results of other studies such as those conducted in India and Turkey in which deficient levels of oral hygiene were also reported [ 3 , 19 ]. This condition worsens their oral health status, as well as the aging process, degree of physical disability, oral health assessment, access to health services, among others [ 20 ].…”

Introduction Older adults are a highly vulnerable group in their general health condition, including oral health that can be influenced by different factors, among them, changes in oral tissues inherent to the physiological processes of aging and by systemic condition. In El Salvador, it is a group that has received little attention at the public health level. Objective To determine the profile of the oral health status and treatment needs of the elderly population in El Salvador. Materials and methods Secondary cross-sectional analysis of data from the last oral health survey in 471 Salvadorans aged 60 years and older. The variables under study were: sociodemographics, brushing frequency, oral hygiene according to simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), caries experience according to decayed, missing, and filled teeth index (DMFT) modified with international caries detection and assessment system (ICDAS) criteria, periodontal status through the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN), edentulism and treatment needs. Statistical analysis was conducted using chi-square test, ANOVA, z-test and linear regression (p < 0.05). Results The older adults presented poor oral hygiene, low brushing frequency, high tooth loss with an average of 16 missing teeth while one third presented total edentulism. Most of the older adults were categorized as having "poor or very Poor" oral hygiene. Almost all respondents presented some degree of periodontal disease and required restorative intervention. Conclusion The oral health status of elderly Salvadoran is poor. Furthermore, the development of public policies and specific oral health strategies aimed at this population is urgent.

“…15 In Turkey, the DMFT score has previously been found to be 6.72, previously. 20 In this study, the median DMFT score was 7 in the healthy group, which is similar to the previously reported score. The DMFT scores and D and F rates were similar among the age groups in the healthy group.…”

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the oral health of hepatitis B-infected individuals by comparing the DMFT index, which is recommended by the World Health Organization for assessing oral health, and the extraction and root canal treatment rates with those of healthy patients. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The panoramic radiographs of 212 hepatitis B-infected and 213 healthy individuals aged 18-74 years who applied for dental treatment between January and June 2018 were evaluated. Using the panoramic radiographs, the numbers of teeth subject to root canal treatment (RCT), decay (D), extraction (M), and restorative and prosthetic treatments (F) were recorded along with the total DMFT score. These rates were compared within and between the different age groups (18-34, 35-44, 45-65, and 66-74) and genders. The statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The level of significance was set to be p < 0.05.RESULTS: F and RCT rates in the healthy group and DMFT, D, and M rates in the hepatitis B-infected group were found to be statistically significantly higher (p < 0.05). The DMFT scores of all age groups were statistically significantly higher in the hepatitis B-infected group compared to the healthy group (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed among age groups in terms of DMFT scores within the healthy and hepatitis B-infected groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION:When compared to healthy individuals, the DMFT, D, and M rates of individuals infected with hepatitis B were found to be higher, but the F and RCT rates were lower. Hepatitis B-infected individuals should be motivated to improve their oral health.

“…This indicates that treatment approach for caries is shifted from extraction to restorative intervention due to improved dental health services. However, extraction is still common in most developing countries nowadays as some of our included studies showed an extremely high MT score [22,23,28,29,35,48,49]. Resources are still limited in these countries and people may have difficulties in gaining access to dental service or affording the treatment cost [48,49].…”

“…The included studies reported caries prevalence or experience of older adults at the age of 60 or above in 20 countries from six continents (Table 1). Most of them were conducted in Asia (n = 20, China [11][12][13][14][15][16], India [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], Singapore [25], Turkey [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and Vietnam [29,30]) and Europe (n = 10, Finland [31], Germany [32,33], Ireland [34], Kosovo [35], Norway [36], Poland [37,38], Portugal [39] and Romania [40]). There were three studies conducted in North America (Mexico [41,42] and USA [43]), one in South America (Brazil [44]), two in Oceania (Australia [45,46]) and three in Africa (...…”

The aim of this systematic review was to provide an update on caries prevalence in older adults aged 60 years or above around the globe. Two independent reviewers performed a systematic literature search of English publications from January 2016 to December 2020 using Pubmed, Scopus, Embase/Ovid and Web of Science. The MeSH terms used were “dental caries”, “root caries”, “DMF index”, “aged” and “aged 80 and over”. Further searches in Google Scholar retrieved eight additional publications. The epidemiological surveys reporting the prevalence of dental caries or root caries or caries experience using DMFT (decayed, missing and filled teeth) and DFR (decayed and filled root) in older adults aged 60 years or above were included. Quality of the publications was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Studies Reporting Prevalence Data. Among the 5271 identified publications, 39 articles of moderate or good quality were included. Twenty studies were conducted in Asia (China, India, Vietnam, Singapore and Turkey), ten in Europe (Ireland, Norway, Finland, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Romania and Kosovo), three in North America (USA and Mexico), one in South America (Brazil), two in Oceania (Australia) and three in Africa (Malawi, Egypt and South Africa). The prevalence of dental caries ranged from 25% (Australia) to 99% (South Africa), while the prevalence of root caries ranged from 8% (Finland) to 74% (Brazil) in community dwellers. The situation was even worse in institutionalised older adults of which the mean DMFT score varied from 6.9 (Malawi) to 29.7 (South Africa). Based on the included studies published in the last 5 years, caries is still prevalent in older adults worldwide and their prevalence varies across countries.
