“…Oral health status (DMFT, %BOP, and OHI-S) was not associated with willingness to undergo regular dental check-ups. Oral health status in the present study was better overall than in recent studies of university students (DMF 0.02 vs. 1.6, %BOP 16.7% vs. 35.5%, and OHI-S 0.2 vs. 0.5) [ 3 , 41 ]. The participants might have been more interested in oral health and had good oral health behaviors.…”

Oral health behaviors, risk aversion, and the health belief model are associated with health behaviors. However, there have been few studies that investigated the association between these factors and the willingness to undergo regular dental check-ups. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the associations between the willingness of Japanese university students to undergo regular dental check-ups and oral health behaviors, the health belief model, and absolute risk aversion. An analysis was conducted with the cooperation of questionnaire respondents (n = 748) who underwent dental check-ups at Okayama University. The students answered questionnaires on oral health behaviors, the health belief model, absolute risk aversion, and willingness to undergo regular dental check-ups. The logistic regression analysis showed significant positive associations (p < 0.05) between oral health behaviors (use of the inter-dental brush and the dental floss) and the health belief model with the willingness to undergo regular dental check-ups. However, there was no significant association with absolute risk aversion (p > 0.05). These results suggest that willingness to undergo regular dental check-ups was associated with oral health behaviors and the health belief model, but not with absolute risk aversion.

The objective of this study was to assess the frequency and risk factors of dental caries among adults in District Kohat and Nowshera Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. Methods: After taking ethical approval, a descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in District Kohat and Nowshera, in which a total of n=435 adults were assessed and examined for dental caries, from November 2021 to March 2022. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data regarding dental caries and its risk factors. Moreover, relevant tooth brushing, and dietary information was also collected. Data was analyzed by SPSS and results were presented in form of tables. Results: The results showed that 23.68% of adults had dental caries. Approximately, 57.70% of adults are of age between 30-60 years; 25.06% had monthly income less than 25000/PKR per month; 14.02% were illiterate, and 40.92% were overweight and obese. Moreover, 52.64% had compliance to daily tooth-brushing; 49.66% used fluoride tooth paste; 41.15% and 58.85% prefer sugar and sweet beverages respectively. Furthermore, 21.84% had poor oral hygiene; 14.94% had routine dental examinations; and 49.21% & 32.41% prefer vegetables and fruits. Conclusions: Concluded that dental caries showed moderate prevalence among adults and revealed relationship with age; monthly income, body mass index, and literacy level. Moreover, frequency of tooth-brushing, fluoride tooth-paste, oral hygiene status and sweet preference showed association with dental caries and thus comprehensive preventive and health promotion strategies were needed to overcome dental caries among adults.

Introducción. La odontología, una profesión con elevados niveles de estrés, se asocia con una disminución en la calidad de vida y posibles riesgos para la salud bucal. Objetivo. Identificar el riesgo cariogénico a partir de los alimentos consumidos por estudiantes de odontología en la región Biobio. Metodología. Estudio descriptivo transversal con 178 estudiantes de odontología de la región del Biobio (Chile), cuyo análisis consideró la autoevaluación del estrés académico con el Inventario de Estrés Académico, riesgo cariogénico, a través de la Encuesta de Consumo de Alimentos Cariogénicos de Lipari y Andrade, y el índice glicémico se evaluó a partir de las Tablas Internacionales de Índice Glicémico. El análisis estadístico consideró la prueba Chi-cuadrado, siendo el tamaño del efecto determinado por la V de Cramer. Resultados. Los estudiantes tenían 22,2 ± 3,1 años. La prevalencia de sobrepeso u obesidad fue del 44.4% (n = 79), el 52.8% (n = 94) presentaba normopeso y el 2.8% (n = 5) tenía bajo peso. El 59.6% (n = 106) reportó un nivel de estrés bajo y el 57.8% (n = 103) tenía riesgo cariogénico medio. El análisis del riesgo cariogénico reveló diferencias significativas en la ingesta de 14 grupos de alimentos, destacando los ricos en azúcares. En el subgrupo con sobrepeso u obesidad, se observaron diferencias significativas en el consumo de leche, galletas, galletas de soda, caramelos y pastel dulce. Conclusión. Se encontró una asociación entre los alimentos ricos en azúcares, el estado nutricional y el riesgo cariogénico, mientras que los alimentos apetitosos se relacionaron con el estrés académico.
