Aim: To assess the prevalence of dental caries among public school children of eastern Nepal using DMFT and dft index. Methods: Six hundred and sixty six school children were examined for decayed missing and filled teeth. Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT), decayed and filled teeth (dft) and prevalence were calculated. Results: The mean decayed and filled teeth were 1.82 whereas mean Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth were 0.37.The prevalence of dental caries were 60.3% and 55.6% in the primary and permanent dentition respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of dental caries was low in permanent dentition compared to primary dentition.

“…The dental fluorosis in permanent dentition was found mostly in 9-10-year-old children (38.6%) similar to other study like in a study by Reddy et al 16 . The result of actual prevalence of dental fluorosis, higher (38.36) in permanent than in primary dentition (13.5%), was similar to study done by Salman 17 .…”

Dental fluorosis is a cosmetic condition that affects the teeth. It’s caused by overexposure to fluoride during the first eight years of life. This is the time when most permanent teeth are being formed. The present study seeks to investigate the prevalence of dental fluorosis among children in Balidih, Jharkhand, india. The study was a retrospective collection of data to evaluate the prevalence of dental fluorosis among 2495 children attending the Free Dental Camp under Indian Dental Association, Bokaro from 2015 to 2018, aged between six to fourteen years. Test of association was done using Pearson’s Chi Square test and Cramer’s V. The results showed that the prevalence of fluorosis was 14.54% in the observed population. There was no correlation of dental fluorosis found with particular sex. The present study gives an insight into the prevalence of dental fluorosis among school going children of Balidih, Jharkhand, India.

“…There is also mounting evidence that dental fluorosis in it's more advanced stages render the teeth more susceptible to cavities as noted by many resources (6)(7)(8) but in general fluoride prevents tooth decay by changing the structures of enamel in infant, making it more resistant to acid attack. It also encourages the remineralization of teeth and may inhibit enzymes used by bacteria to form acid (9)(10)(11) .…”

Aims:To determine and compare the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis in two district areas: Iraq and Yemen, in relation to age and sex for students aged 13-16 years old. Materials and methods: the study was conducted among 904 students of both countries. Five hundred and seventy two students from Iraq (Sinjar province): 334 males and 238 females. Three hundred and thirty two students: 173 males and 159 females, from Yemen (Thamar province); aged 13-16 years old were randomly selected from intermediate and secondary schools who had lived since birth in two different areas with concentration of fluoride in drinking water. Sinjar with high concentration (2.05-2.22 ppm), Thamar with moderate concentration (1.8-2.2 ppm) by the use of Dean index (1934) to assess dental fluorosis. Results: the study had shown that the prevalence of dental flourosis in Sinjar province was 52.1%, 63.53% within students and teeth respectively was much higher than Thamar province which was 16.99%, 30.23% within students and teeth respectively; ranging from questionable, very mild forms for all age groups, while for Thamar it was ranging from very mild to moderate with significant sex difference for individuals (females reported less prevalence than males) for both provinces for the first three degrees of flourosis at P<0.001, P< 0.05. The percent age of severity for Sinjar was much higher than Thamar province which increased significantly with increasing age at P<0.001, P<0.01,and P< 0.05. Also the distribution of severity of frequency was much higher in Sinjar than Thamar with highest percentage in upper and lower posterior teeth (75%, 72%) at P<0.001. The community flourosis index for Sinjar was 1.62 (moderate) while for Thamar province was 3.05 for these age groups (very marked). Conclusions: prevalence of dental flourosis increased infrequently with age in Sinjar while systematically in Thamar with sex difference (females reported less percentage than males).
