“…One may speculate that it has a negative impact on utilisation of dental care and prosthodontic services. As shown by Priyanka et al, alcohol dependent subjects have higher prevalence of dental caries, periodontitis and mucosal lesions. Moreover, they have reduced interest in seeking and paying for dental care.…”

“…There is a high incidence of tooth decay in alcohol addicts, up to three times higher than in people who abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages or drink them rarely [26]. The incidence of dental caries in alcohol addicts is more than double, with trebled incidence of permanent tooth loss [7,26] Furthermore, they also have an increased risk of periodontal diseases which is associated with gingival tissue irritation, poor oral hygiene and dental care, poor dietary habits causing immune depletion and bacterial deposition due to lack of saliva and dehydration [8,27] as well as a serious risk for the development of chronic generalized periodontitis associated with interdental papilla and gingiva inflammation together with formation of periodontal pockets associated with bone loss [27,28].…”

“…Excessive drinking also leads to numerous somatic complications and conditions, including consequences on oral health. Research has shown that heavy drinkers have poorer oral hygiene, dental care, periodontal status, fewer teeth, more carious lesions, gingival diseases, interdental papillae bleeding and deep gingival pockets connected with bone loss as well as a higher rate of oropharyngeal cancers [7][8][9][10]. Non-carious destructions of teeth, including dental erosions, are also linked to frequent drinking due to presence of polyphenols in most alcoholic beverages which leads to precipitation of proline-rich proteins in the saliva [11].…”

Drinking alcoholic beverages is one of the oldest socially acceptable forms of behavior which can lead to the development of alcohol addiction. Long-term alcohol drinking has, together with numerous psychological and somatic complications, harmful consequences for the oral health. Patients suffering from alcoholism generally have poorer oral hygiene, dental care, periodontal status, fewer teeth, more carious lesions, gingival diseases, inter-dental papillae bleeding and deep gingival pockets associated with bone loss, as well as higher rate of oropharyngeal cancer. The changes in the oral microbiome affect the immune system, metabolism of carcinogens and digestion, which also leads to the development of local oral diseases as well as systemic gastrointestinal and cardiovascular illnesses. Harmful impact of alcohol on oral health can be direct, caused by local toxic effects of alcohol and as a consequence of systemic diseases associated with alcohol drinking, causing changes in the entire oral mucosa. Poor dietary habits additionally contribute to a poorer dental status while frequent simultaneous usage of tobacco products additionally increases the risk of developing periodontitis, tooth loss and oral carcinoma. Excessive alcohol drinking can seriously affect the oral cavity where, despite easy access via clinical examination, we still lack clinical data and a clear mechanism of development of the described changes.

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.
