“…Initial approximal caries (d i a) was defined as "a caries lesion in the enamel that has not reached the dentinoenamel junction or a lesion that has reached or penetrated the dentinoenamel junction, but does not appear to extend into the dentine" and manifest caries (d m a) as "a caries lesion that clearly extends into the dentine" [Alm et al, 2007]. The radiographs were analysed by two of the authors (S.C. and M.S.).…”

Short title Effect on Caries in Primary Teeth after Administration of L. reuteri Declaration of Conflicts AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect, on oral health at age 9 years, of daily oral supplementation with the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri, strain ATCC 55730 to the mothers during the last month of gestation and to the children through the first year of life. The study comprised a single-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial involving 113 children: 60 in the probiotic and 53 in the placebo group. The subjects underwent clinical and radiographic examination of the primary dentition, carious lesions, plaque and gingivitis were recorded.Saliva and plaque were sampled, for determination of mutans streptococci (MS) and lactobacilli (LB) in saliva and plaque as well as salivary secretory IgA (SIgA). Forty-nine (82%) of the children in the probiotic group and 31 (58%) in the placebo group were caries free (p < 0.01). The prevalence of approximal caries lesions was lower in the probiotic group (0.67 ± 1.61 vs. 1.53 ± 2.64; p < 0.05) and there were fewer sites with gingivitis compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to frequency of tooth-brushing, plaque and dietary habits but to intake of fluoride supplements (p < 0.05). There were no intergroup differences with respect to L. reuteri, MS, LB or SIgA in saliva. Within the limitation of this study it seems that daily supplementation with L. reuteri from birth and during the first year of life is associated with reduced caries prevalence and gingivitis score in the primary dentition at 9 years of age.

Objectives. The aim of the present investigation was to study oral health in young adults with long-term, controlled asthma. Material and methods. Twenty 18-to 24-year-olds with a mean duration (SD) of asthma disease of 13.5 (5.4) years and 20 matched healthy controls were included. A clinical examination was performed and the prevalence of caries, erosions, gingival inflammation, cervicular fluid, periodontal pockets and plaque formation rate, were registered. The salivary flow rate, numbers of mutans streptococci and lactobacilli in saliva were determined. Plaque pH was measured after a sucrose rinse up to 40 min at two approximal sites. The participants were interviewed regarding dietary and oral hygiene habits. Results. The mean (SD) DFS, including manifest and initial caries, was 8.6 (10.6) in the asthma group and 4.0 (5.2) in the control group (p = 0.09). Initial caries lesions were more common in the asthma group than in the control group, 6.0 (8.1) and 1.3 (2.0 (p = 0.02). The asthma group had more gingivitis (p = 0.01) and lower stimulated salivary rate than the controls (p = 0.01). The asthmatics had also a somewhat, but not statistically significant, lower initial pH value in plaque and more pronounced pH drop compared with the controls. In the asthma group, 65% reported frequent mouthbreathing compared with 10% in the controls (p = 0.01). No differences were found in tooth-brushing and dietary habits between the groups. Conclusions. Young adults with long-term, controlled asthma had more initial caries, more gingival inflammation and lower stimulated salivary secretion rate than individuals without asthma.

Limited evidence about the role of diet quality, an important component of nutritional status, in the etiology of dental caries has been reported. The aim of this study was to examine the association between diet and dental caries in children by using the dietary intake data, anthropometrical measurements and dental examination. A total of 395 children (52.7% boys and 42.8% girls) who were 36-71 months of age (mean age 58.7±8.6 months) and attended one of the eleven preschools within a district of Ankara participated in this descriptive study. Dental examinations were performed in the schools under day-light by a pediatric dentist; decayed, missing and filled teeth as well as surfaces were recorded. Data related to socio-demographic characteristics and 24-hour dietary recall of children were gathered via a structured, pretested questionnaire which was conducted by the research dietitian. The Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010) and Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for children and adolescents (KIDMED) were used to assess dietary intake. Anthropometric measurements including weight, height, upper arm circumference and head circumference were taken by the same researcher. The percentage of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) was increased by age (p<0.001) whereas no significant difference was observed by sex, socioeconomic status, tooth brushing frequency and body mass index (p>0.05). Although children who had bad KIDMED scores had slightly higher mean values of decayed missing and filled teeth (dmft) (5.39± 4.6) and decayed missing and filled surface (dmfs) (8.45± 8.69), compared to the scores of children with good or medium KIDMED scores, the differences were not statistically significant (p>0.05). On the contrary to the KIDMED findings, the mean value of tooth decay was significantly higher among children with bad HEI-2010 score (4.2±4.3) compared to children with medium HEI-2010 score (2.47±2.9) (p=0.043). It is concluded that a healthy eating pattern and high diet quality is essential for the prevention of early childhood caries in preschool children. Further studies are required to develop dietary strategies for the prevention of dental caries.
