Purpose - The aim of this study was to use probabilistic graphical models to determine dental caries risk factors in three-year-old children. The analysis was conducted on the basis of the questionnaire data and resulted in building probabilistic graphical models to investigate dependencies among the features gathered in the surveys on dental caries. Materials and Methods - The data available in this analysis came from dental examinations conducted in children and from a questionnaire survey of their parents or guardians. The data represented 255 children aged between 36 and 48 months. Self-administered questionnaires contained 34 questions of socioeconomic and medical nature such as nutritional habits, wealth, or the level of education. The data included also the results of oral examination by a dentist. We applied the Bayesian network modeling to construct a model by learning it from the collected data. The process of Bayesian network model building was assisted by a dental expert. Results - The model allows to identify probabilistic relationships among the variables and to indicate the most significant risk factors of dental caries in three-year-old children. The Bayesian network model analysis illustrates that cleaning teeth and falling asleep with a bottle are the most significant risk factors of dental caries development in three-year-old children, whereas socioeconomic factors have no significant impact on the condition of teeth. Conclusions - Our analysis results suggest that dietary and oral hygiene habits have the most significant impact on the occurrence of dental caries in three-year-olds.

Background. Indonesia has reported high prevalence and severity of early childhood caries (ECC). This is at 90% at age 3–5 years with higher mean of decay extraction or filling of teeth (def-t). Preschool children are one of the most vulnerable groups to dental and oral disease because they generally still not have proper behavior with regard to maintaining their oral health. Parental care is an important factor as it serves as the basis of the formation of behaviors that support or do not support childhood oral hygiene. One well-validated theory commonly used to test human attitudes and behaviors is the Theory of Planned Behavior. Objectives. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, to describe the behavior of mothers on teaching toothbrushing to preschool children. Material and methods. We undertook a cross-sectional analytic study with sample size 218 of mothers of kindergarten children in Surabaya. We obtained our data by giving a questionnaire to mothers that consists of 35 semi open ended and closed ended questions. Results. The variables of Theory of Planned Behavior which showed significant effect on intention to act were attitude and PBC with p-value < 0.005. Subsequently, attitude, subjective norms, and PBC were tested together to measure the influence to intention – which resulted in a R2 of 0.37. Conclusions. Attitudes and PBC are the most dominant factors in improving the intentions and behavior of mothers towards teaching effective toothbrushing practices to their children.

introduction: Dental caries remains the most widespread disease of the masticatory system. According to WHO and FDI reports, the epidemic of dental caries has not been reduced. In Poland, dental caries prevalence among children remains high and is among the highest in Europe. aims: 1. to assess the values of saliva pH testing used as a screening test for assessing the risk of dental caries in children. 2. to assess the correlation of saliva pH testing with the condition of the oral cavity, expressed by means of the DMF index. Material, methods: The research group consisted of 128 children aged 7–10 years. The research involved: 1. a check-up performed by means of basic dental instruments. 2. assessment of patient’s saliva pH by means of a litmus paper. On the basis of the check-ups performed, the DMF index was established for each patient. results: 1. Presence of dental caries – 75.8%. 2. Percentage of children with missing teeth – 18%. 3. Percentage of children undergoing treatment – 79.7%. 4. Correlation value of the DMF index and saliva pH: 0.693; - 0.730 (p=0.000). conclusions: 1. The condition of health of the oral cavity in children aged 7–10 years is bad. 76% have been diagnosed with dental caries, 18% of children have at least one missing tooth. 2. Saliva pH testing is highly correlated with active dental caries, thus it can be a useful self-control test for assessing the condition of health of the oral cavity in children.

Wstęp: Próchnica zębów jest najbardziej rozpowszechnioną chorobą narządu żucia. Według raportów WHO oraz FDI nie udało się zmniejszyć epidemii próchnicy. W Polsce zachorowalność dzieci na próchnicę zębów utrzymuje się na wysokim poziomie i jest jedną z najwyższych w Europie. cel: 1. Ocena wartości badania pH śliny jako testu screeningowego w modelowaniu ryzyka wystąpienia choroby próchnicowej zębów u dzieci. 2. Ocena korelacji wartości pH śliny ze stanem jamy ustnej wyrażonym za pomocą wskaźnika PUW. Materiał, metody: Badaną grupę stanowiło 128 dzieci w wieku 7–10 lat. Badanie polegało na: 1. Dokonaniu przeglądu uzębienia, przy pomocy podstawowych narzędzi stomatologicznych, 2. Ocenie pH śliny pacjenta za pomocą papierka lakmusowego. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych przeglądów jamy ustnej, wyznaczono dla każdego pacjenta wskaźnik PUW. Wyniki: 1. Występowanie próchnicy – 75,8%. 2. Odsetek dzieci z usuniętymi zębami – 18%. 3. Odsetek dzieci leczonych - 79,7%. 4. Wartość korelacji współczynnika PUW oraz pH śliny: 0,693; -0,730 (p = 0,000). Wnioski: 1. Stan zdrowia jamy ustnej dzieci w wieku 7–10 lat jest zły. U 76% stwierdza się próchnicę, 18% dzieci ma już usunięty przynajmniej jeden ząb. 2. Badanie pH śliny w wysokim stopniu koreluje z aktywną próchnicą zębów, przez co może być użytecznym testem samokontroli stanu zdrowia jamy ustnej u dzieci.

Wstęp: Próchnica zębów jest chorobą społeczną o szerokim zasięgu. Chorują na nią zarówno dzieci, jak i osoby dorosłe. Wysoka zapadalność na próchnicę jest efektem niewłaściwej higieny i braku podejmowania leczenia stomatologicznego u małych dzieci. W związku z tym bardzo ważna okazuje się wiedza studentów pielęgniarstwa na temat zapobiegania próchnicy zębów, zwłaszcza u dzieci. Cel pracy: Zbadanie wiedzy studentów PMWSZ w Opolu, potencjalnych rodziców, dotyczącej próchnicy zębów u dzieci i metod jej zapobiegania. Materiał i metody: Badanie przeprowadzono metodą sondażu diagnostycznego wśród 100 studentów pielęgniarstwa PMWSZ w Opolu. Wyniki: Większość grupy badawczej miała 20-25 lat (89 %). Zdecydowana większość ankietowanych posiada odpowiednią wiedzę na temat zapobiegania próchnicy, profilaktycznych wizyt u stomatologa i właściwej pielęgnacji jamy ustnej. Wnioski: Wiedza studentów pielęgniarstwa dotycząca zapobiegania próchnicy zębów u dzieci jest zadowalająca. Wszyscy badani studenci mają świadomość, że próchnicy można zapobiec. Profilaktyka polega głównie na edukacji zdrowotnej i należy ją rozpocząć już u kobiet w ciąży. Ponieważ prawie połowa badanych nie wie, że dziecko po ukończeniu 5 roku może używać także innych produktów do higieny jamy ustnej poza szczoteczką i pastą do zębów. Należy poszerzyć wiedzę w tym zakresie. Uzupełnienia wymaga także wiedza osób ankietowanych dotycząca lakowania i lakierowania zębów w ramach profilaktyki fluorkowej.

Background: Dental caries is a disease in society. Both children and adults, suffer from this disease. The reason is the lack of dental caries and dental health in children. Therefore, lead education on caries prevention especially in children. Aim of the study: To check the potential parents - the students’ knowledge level of prevention methods in the children dental caries. Material and methods: The survey was conducted among 100 nursing students of the Public Higher Medical Professional School in Opole. Results: The majority of respondents were 20-25 years old (89 %). The vast majority of respondents had adequate knowledge on how to prevent from the tooth decay, how to provide the appropriate oral care and do preventive dental visit. Conclusions: Knowledge nursing students on the prevention of dental caries in children is satisfactory. All subjects the students are aware that tooth decay can be prevented. Prevention is health education and must start in pregnant women. Almost half of the respondents did not know that the child after completing five years of age can also use other products for oral hygiene beyond the brush and toothpaste. Complement requires knowledge of the respondents regarding sealing and coating the teeth against caries prevention.
