“…Therefore, clarifying the patterns of tooth loss may help dentists protect teeth more efficiently. Caries and periodontal diseases are the two major causes of tooth loss reported in previous studies [21,22], and they were consistent with the main reasons for M2 loss in this study (Fig. 1).…”

Background Many studies have reported that the presence of third molars (M3s) can increase the risk of pathology in neighboring second molars (M2s). However, whether the presence of M3s can effect the mortality of M2s remains unknown. The main aim of this study was to reveal the reasons for M2 loss and how the M2 loss were related to their neighboring M3s. Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. A review of the medical records and radiographic imagines of patients who had their M2(s) removed was undertaken to analyze the reasons for tooth extraction and how those reasons were related to the presence of M3s situated adjacent to the removed M2s. Results Clinical material (from January to March 2019) of 800 patients met the inclusion criteria were involved into this study. M2s in 908 quadrants (i.e. 908 M2s) were removed from these enrolled patients, wherein 382 quadrants were with the absence of M3s and the other 526 quadrants were with the presence of M3s. The average age of patients whose missing M2s had or had no neighboring M3s was 52.4 ± 14.8 years and 56.7 ± 14.9 years respectively (Mann-Whitney U test, p < 0.001). When the reasons for the 908 extracted M2s were traced, it was found that 433 teeth (47.7%) were removed due to caries and sequelae, while 300 teeth (33.0%) were lost for periodontal diseases. In addition, substantial evidence confirmed that 14.4% of the M2s with adjacent M3s were removed due to diseases mainly in the distal surface which were closely related to their neighboring M3s, and it was much higher than that was identified from removed M2s without adjacent M3s (1.8%). Except for residual roots, 42.2% M3s were removed along with neighboring M2s simultaneously. Conclusions The presence of M3s, no matter impacted or erupted M3s, was associated with an earlier loss of their neighboring M2s.

“…Carbohydrates are a major factor in caries development, and were traditionally found in fruit, honey (Carvalho, 2013) and corn (Wasterlain, 2006) before the introduction of pure sugar in most diets (Müller and Hussein, 2017). Despite the importance of diet, the gradual decrease in the frequencies of cavities in the present comparison is probably related to various factors such as age structure, socioeconomic status, economic environment, and possibly methodological issues.…”

“…Müller and Hussein (2017) also found that female individuals do not consistent-ly show greater caries frequencies (Müller and Hussein, 2017), which could be related to the etiology of such differences. Instead of hormonal factors, sexual differences in caries frequencies may be related to the sociocultural differentiation of the sexes.…”

“…A recent meta-analysis (Müller and Hussein, 2017) focused on caries and the transition between pre-and post-18 th century Europe suggested that the impact of this transition on caries (and other oral health indicators) was minor. Part of the justification to this conclusion is the slower rate of change in rural settings, which promotes continuity in nutritional, social and medical factors despite industrialization (Müller and Hussein, 2017).…”

Patologia dentária e desgaste oclusal em Valença, Portugal (Idade Moderna e Contemporânea) — interpretações preliminares

et al. 2019

Os dentes providenciam informação valiosa em bioarqueologia. A patologia dentária informa sobre dieta, hábitos, higiene e tratamentos no passado. A necrópole da Igreja de Santa Maria dos Anjos, na Fortaleza estratégica de Valença, foi escavada em 2010. Neste trabalho, as lesões dentárias de 30 indivíduos (19 adultos: sete masculinos, sete femininos, cinco alofísicos) são interpretadas preliminarmente. A frequência de cáries é moderadamente alta (47,3% dos dentes), mas as lesões cavitadas (29,4%), a perda dentária ante-mortem (PDAM) (36,3% dos alvéolos) e o índice de tártaro (IT) (0,687) são elevados. Os indivíduos femininos apresentam frequências de IT, cáries e PDAM mais elevadas que os masculinos. Os granulomas/quistos periapicais afetam 25% dos adultos (os não-adultos não são afetados). A periodontite atinge 65,4% dos dentes e os indivíduos masculinos são mais afetados que os femininos. O desgaste oclusal médio é de 3,5 (DP=1,1). Apesar da idade jovem (maioritariamente até 7 anos), os não-adultos apresentam frequências relativamente elevadas de cáries (11,0% dos dentes) e cáries cavitadas (2,6%). Os resultados sugerem consumo moderado a elevado de hidratos de carbono fermentáveis e que os indivíduos femininos teriam uma dieta diferente dos masculinos. Hábitos de higiene e tratamentos orais eram inexistentes ou raros. O uso regular dos dentescomo ferramenta era improvável. A influência da industrialização inicial na dieta de Valença foi incipiente.

The purpose of this study was to focus on the number of brushing strokes among the performance factors and identify if the 10 times stroke of the rolling method is rational. Moreover, we evaluated the changes in oral health knowledge, perception, and behavior after our rolling method instruction. The 10-stroke method of toothbrushing has been regarded as an effective method of removal of dental plaque, although there is little evidence to support this claim. We allocated 40 healthy subjects to two intervention groups. During five visits, we measured a score for dental plaque removal and instructed the subjects on a toothbrushing technique with 5 or 10 strokes per section. At the initial and final visits, subjects completed a questionnaire on one designed specifically for this study about oral health knowledge, perceptions, and behaviors. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare the dental plaque removal score between the groups, and the changes in scores within each group over time. We also compared changes in mean scores in oral health knowledge, perceptions and behaviors before and after toothbrushing instruction. We found that the score for dental plaque removal increased with each additional toothbrushing instruction in both groups (p＜0.001). However, we found no differences in the dental plaque removal scores between the 5-stroke and 10-stroke groups (p=0.399). The levels of oral health knowledge, perceptions and behaviors increased after the toothbrushing instructions in both groups. Our findings suggest that there is no advantage in emphasizing the 10-stroke method of toothbrushing in an oral health education program.
