“…As for epidemiologic studies, among the 631 titles and abstracts screened, 229 full texts were potentially eligible and 77 of them were excluded for various reasons, thus leaving 152 primary studies (Figure ). Of these, 102 studies were considered for TDI prevalence to permanent teeth (Unpublished Material 2), 46 for TDI prevalence to primary teeth (Unpublished Material 3), 42 for TDI prevalence among 12‐year‐old children…”

Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) account for a considerable proportion of bodily injuries. Nevertheless, global TDI frequency is unknown, probably because TDI diagnosis is not standardized. This study estimated world TDI frequency. A literature search (publication years 1996-2016) was aimed at covering as many countries, communities, ethnic groups as possible, thus achieving high generalizability. In particular, non-specific keywords, no language restrictions, and large databanks were used. Observational studies reporting proportions of individuals with at least one TDI (prevalence) and who developed TDI (incidence rate) were considered. Prevalence rates to permanent dentition, primary dentition and in 12-year-olds, incidence rate to any tooth for any age, male-to-female prevalence ratio (PR) in 12-year-olds, with 95% confidence intervals (95 CIs), were extracted/calculated. Study quality, Z-score distribution, funnel plot symmetry analysis, between-study heterogeneity, sensitivity, and subgroup analyses were performed. Selected primary studies were 102 (permanent dentition; 268 755 individuals; median age, 13.8 years), 46 (primary dentition; 59 436 individuals; median age, 3.4 years), 42 (12-year-olds; 33 829 individuals), 11 (incidence rate; 233 480 person-years; median age, 7.8 years), and 31 (PR; 16 003 males, 16 006 females). World TDI frequency resulted as follows: permanent dentition prevalence 15.2% (95 CI, 13.0%-17.4%); primary dentition prevalence 22.7% (95 CI, 17.3%-28.7%); 12-year-olds prevalence 18.1% (95 CI, 15.3%-21.0%); incidence rate, 2.82 (95 CI, 2.28%-3.42%) per 100 person-years; PR, 1.43 (95 CI, 1.34%-1.52%). Differences between WHO Regions were found. This study shows that more than one billion living people have had TDI. TDI is a neglected condition which could rank fifth if it was included in the list of the world's most frequent acute/chronic diseases and injuries.

“…Parents, who are the closest caregivers to their children, have great power to influence their children’s behaviour in life [41, 42]. One study showed that the lack of sharing oral health knowledge with their children by parents was a factor associated with caries [5, 43]. Therefore, we encourage parents to provide oral health guidance to their children as early as possible.…”

“…Dental caries is a progressive disease with no self-healing properties; thus, if tooth decay is not treated in a timely manner, deciduous tooth caries may cause apical periodontitis and pulpitis, and permanent tooth germs may be infected, affecting the development of permanent teeth or causing the premature loss of deciduous teeth, ultimately resulting in the crowding of permanent teeth [3] or increasing the risk of subsequent caries in the permanent dentition [4]. Children who suffer from severe caries will resist chewing because of pain, which affects the development of facial movement and language ability and even causes trouble sleeping [5–7]. Currently, although advanced clinical treatment and filling materials are used to treat coresidential-pain problems, chewing difficulty caused by caries [8, 9] still affects the growth and quality of life of preschool children for a limited period [10–12]; therefore, starting from the source and preventing the production of dental caries is a better choice than caries treatment.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the status of caries in deciduous teeth and the effect of diet and lifestyle habits on dental caries among 3- to 5-year-old preschool children in Jiangxi Province, China.MethodsIn total, 2880 cases involving preschool children were selected by stratified cluster sampling. The dental examination methods and criteria followed the WHO guidelines. SPSS 19.0 was used for the statistical analysis. Chi square tests were used to compare the caries prevalence among children with different social characteristics. Non-parametric tests were used to compare the decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft) index values. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to study the effect of diet and lifestyle habits on dental caries.ResultsThe caries prevalence among the 2880 cases of 3- to 5-year-old preschool children in Jiangxi Province, China was 49.13%. There was no gender difference in this rate (P > 0.05). The caries prevalence increased with age (P < 0.05). The prevalence of caries in the rural areas was higher than that in the urban areas (P < 0.05). The deciduous central incisors and deciduous molars had a higher caries prevalence than the other deciduous teeth. According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the caries risk increased with living in a rural area, exclusive breastfeeding, greater frequency of daily snacking, high frequency of snacking before sleep and beginning to brush teeth at a late age; the caries risk decreased when parents helped their children brush their teeth.ConclusionThe caries prevalence among 3- to 5-year-old preschool children in Jiangxi was lower than the level throughout the country and lower than the rate in other developing countries. The children’s diet and lifestyle habits were closely related to dental caries. Parents and children should be more aware of oral health, and parents should help their children develop healthy lifestyle behaviours.

“…Moreover, caries often goes untreated in this group, which can lead to different impacts. Such impacts can result in limitations in performing daily activities, such as eating and sleeping, and can generate problems in terms of pain, impaired dental aesthetics, and low self‐esteem, thereby exerting a negative impact on oral health‐related quality of life.…”

Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate factors associated with the clinical consequences of untreated dental caries in children attending public and private preschools. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted with a complex, preschool‐based sample of 769 children, 5 years of age, from public and private preschools in the city of Campina Grande, Brazil. Clinical examinations to diagnose the consequences of untreated caries were performed using the criteria of the pufa index (p ‐ pulp exposure; u ‐ ulceration caused by movement of tooth fragments; f ‐ fistula; a ‐ abscess). The psychological factor evaluated was parental/caregiver sense of coherence (SOC), which was determined using a validated assessment tool. Sociodemographic characteristics and the use of dental services were also considered. Two examiners were trained to examine the clinical consequences of untreated dental caries. The kappa statistic demonstrated a high level of agreement for the conditions evaluated. Descriptive analysis was performed, followed by the use of an inductive decision tree (J48 algorithm; α = 5%). Results The factors associated with the clinical consequences of untreated dental caries were toothache [prevalence ratio (PR) = 12.34; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 7.87–19.35; P < 0.001], attending a public preschool (PR = 2.38; 95% CI: 1.83–3.09; P < 0.001), parents/caregivers younger than 30 years of age (PR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.26–1.68; P < 0.001), parents/caregivers with more than two children (PR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.28–1.69; P < 0.001) and parents/caregivers with a weak SOC (PR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.01–1.28; P = 0.043). Conclusion The prevalence of clinical consequences of untreated dental caries was low in the present sample and was associated with sociodemographic factors (type of preschool, caregiver's age and number of children in the family) as well as psychological factors (SOC).
