“…The prevalence of loss of primary teeth has been studied only rarely. However, studies carried out of Mexico reveal prevalence ranging from 8.5–51.0% 3 5 6 ; the prevalence in this study was 24.7%. Preserving primary teeth until normal exfoliation is one of the most important factors in preventive and interceptive dentistry.…”

“…In this sense, dental extraction is the most common form of dental treatment in developing countries despite the significant progress made in recent years in dentistry 4 . The results of studies realized in various countries have reported prevalence of premature loss of primary teeth ranging from 8.5% in Venezuela 3 to 16.5% in India 5 to 51% in Saudi Arabia 6 .…”

We determine the relationship between premature loss of primary teeth and oral hygiene, consumption of soft drinks, dental care and previous caries experience. This study focused on 833 Mexican schoolchildren aged 6–7. We performed an oral examination to determine caries experience and the simplified oral hygiene index. The dependent variable was the prevalence of at least one missing tooth (or indicated for extraction) of the primary dentition; this variable was coded as 0 = no loss of teeth and 1 = at least one lost primary tooth. The prevalence of at least one missing tooth was 24.7% (n = 206) (95% CI = 21.8–27.7). The variables that were associated with the prevalence of tooth loss (p < 0.05) included: the largest number of decayed teeth (OR = 1.11), the largest number of filled teeth (OR = 1.23), the worst oral hygiene (OR = 3.24), a lower frequency of brushing (OR = 1.60), an increased consumption of soda (OR = 1.89) and use of dental care (curative: OR = 2.83, preventive: OR = 1.93). This study suggests that the premature loss of teeth in the primary dentition is associated with oral hygiene, consumption of soft drinks, dental care and previous caries experience in Mexican schoolchildren. These data provide relevant information for the design of preventive dentistry programs.

“…When posterior teeth move frontally, they cause secondary crowding of teeth erupting later, and the unilateral loss of a front tooth can cause disruption of the midline of the incisors resulting from the shift of the adjacent teeth to the free space [9]. Al-Shahrani, et al [10] found among boys who prematurely lost their milk teeth higher incidence of right-sided Angle's Class II, left-sided Angle's Class II (p=0.062), right-sided Angle's Class III, left-sided Angle's Class III (p=0.062), bilateral cross bite and abnormal overjet. Premature loss of deciduous teeth is still too frequent, which was confirmed by Grippaudo et al [11] in their studies conducted among 3017 children -in 14.6% of the children there was premature loss of deciduous teeth.…”

Introduction. Ensuring proper conditions for the development of the masticatory organ of the child can prevent or reduce the incidence of malocclusion. Aim. The study aimed to assess the knowledge of mothers on selected elements of early orthodontic prevention. Material and methods. A questionnaire survey was carried out among 234 pregnant women and women in childbirth from Lower Silesia, Lublin and Lubuskie voivodships. The survey included questions about demographics of mothers, such as age, place of residence, education level, and 10 questions on selected elements of early orthodontic prevention. Results. The knowledge of mothers on the early orthodontic prevention is associated with the level of education and the place of residence - women with higher education and living in large cities have the greatest expertise in this field, although it is still inadequate in general population of women.

“…An attempt to demonstrate the negative impacts of ECC have been made in various ways. Objective parameters, such as a child's body weight and height, restricted growth, and future dentition problems, have been shown as evidence of the impact [2][3][4][5][6]. However, these little in uence on encouraging preventive practices in the groups affected by ECC or at risk for it.…”

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is prevalent in Thailand. There has never been an appropriate tool to measure its impact on children. This study translated Early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS), a widely used proxy-reported questionnaire developed in the United States for measuring the oral health related quality of life of preschool children and their families and adopted into many countries, into Thai (Th-ECOHIS). Its psychometric properties were investigated in Thai caregivers and their children. Methods: Cultural adaptation for the scale development within Thai context was processed using forward–backward translation by experts. A face and content validation test were conducted among a group of 20 caregivers to attain the final Th-ECOHIS. Psychometric testing was done on 3-year-old-child-caregiver pairs in Bangkok with the interviewer-administered mode. Children’s oral health was indicated by caries experience (decayed, missing and filled primary teeth, dmft) and treatment need. The caregivers answered the Th-ECOHIS and global questions regarding perception of their children’s oral health. Reliability was assessed by measuring internal consistency and reproducibility using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Test-retest reliability was managed at 2-week interval in 10% of samples using the intraclass correlation coefficient calculated by two-way analysis of variance. The discriminant validity was tested by the relationship between the severity of dental caries, treatment need and Th-ECOHIS scores using Kruskal-Wallis test.Results: A total of 214 child-parent pairs participated. Twenty-two percent had ECC (dmft 1-3) and 17.3% had severe ECC (dmft 4 or higher) with mean (SD) dmft 1.63 (2.92). All items in the original ECOHIS were retained in the Thai version. The test-retest reliability of Th-ECOHIS was 0.87; internal consistency was 0.85; the total of Th-ECOHIS scores were significantly correlated with the global rating of oral health question (r = 0.604). Th-ECOHIS scores in both child and family impact sections and total were significantly associated with the severity of caries (p < 0.001) and treatment need (p < 0.001).Conclusions: Th-ECOHIS demonstrated good reliability and validity. It could be used to assess the impacts of ECC on quality of life of Thai pre-school children through caregiver and compare to other countries.
