The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) in children and investigate the influence of sociodemographic variables, quality of oral hygiene and child-related aspects. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 593 children aged three to five years. Data were collected through clinical examinations and interviews with parents. Interviews with parents of the children were conducted to acquire information on sociodemographic aspects, breastfeeding, bottle feeding and harmful oral habits. Statistical analysis involved the chi-square test and the Poisson regression. The prevalence of ECC was 53.6%. The occurrence of ECC was greater among children with unsatisfactory oral hygiene (PR: 2.95; 95% CI: 2.42-3.60) and those from a family with a lower monthly household income (PR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.24-2.10). In conclusion, unsatisfactory oral hygiene and monthly income exerted an influence on the occurrence of ECC among preschoolers.

BACKGROUND   Studies on the prevalence of enamel defects in the primary dentition as a whole are scarce, as most investigations examine specific population groups. OBJECTIVES   The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of enamel defects in primary teeth and determine whether prematurity, birthweight, and socio-demographic variables are associated with such defects. DESIGN   A cross-sectional study was carried out with 381 children aged 3-5 years. Data were collected through clinical examinations and interviews with parents during the National Immunisation Day. The diagnosis of enamel defects was performed using the Developmental Defects of Enamel (DDE) Index. Through interviews, information was collected on socio-demographic aspects, pregnancy, birthweight, prematurity, and breastfeeding. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS program for Windows and involved descriptive analysis, Fishers exact test, the chi-square test, and Poisson regression. RESULTS   The prevalence of developmental defects of enamel was 29.9%. Demarcated opacity was the most frequent type of defect. Children with a history of very low birthweight had a greater prevalence of enamels defects (PR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.66-4.61). Prematurity and socio-demographic variables were not associated with enamel defects. CONCLUSION   Children with a history of very low birthweight had a greater frequency of enamel defects in primary teeth.

The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of dental trauma and associated factors among a sample of patients with severe cerebral palsy. The sample was made up of 120 individuals equally divided into two groups. The group with cerebral palsy was made up of 60 patients diagnosed with the spastic form of the disease. The control group was made up of 60 individuals with no mental impairment. Questionnaires were used to collect information on individual, socioeconomic and behavioral characteristics. Dental trauma was assessed based on the clinical chart of each participant, on a questionnaire and on a clinical evaluation to determine past injuries. Mouth mirrors and millimeter periodontal probes (Community Periodontal Index probe) were used to measure overjet. Lip seal and breathing type were determined during the clinical exams and interviews. Statistical analysis involved the chi-square test (p < 0.05) and multivariate logistic regression (forward stepwise procedure). The prevalence of dental trauma was greater among individuals with cerebral palsy (18%) than in the control group (5%), with the difference achieving statistical significance (p = 0.023). Individuals with lip incompetence had a greater chance of exhibiting dental trauma (OR [CI 95%] = 3.81 [1.19-12.24]). The prevalence of dental trauma among individuals with cerebral palsy was high. A lack of lip seal was identified as a factor directly associated to this prevalence.

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with oral mucosa alterations in patients from Vale do Jequiti-nhonha, Brazil. The sample consisted of 511 patients of both genders. Questionnaires were used to obtain information about patient gender, age, race, systemic disease state, medication use, cigarette use and alcohol consumption. Physical examinations were then performed to identify lesions of the oral mucosa. Descriptive analyses, Chi-squared tests and logistic regressions were then used to analyze the results (p < 0.05, 95% CI). In this population, 84.9% (434/511) of patients were found to have alterations in their oral mucosa. The most common alterations were melanotic maculae (36.0%), linea alba (33.9%), traumatic ulcers (21.5%), Fordyces granules (20.4%), coated tongue (12.5%) and fissured tongue (10.0%). Melanotic maculae were more frequently observed in black patients, with an odds ration (OR) of 7.51. Being female was a statistically significant predictive factor for having a visible linea alba (OR: 1.90) and a fissured tongue (OR: 2.11). No statistically significant association was found between the presence of oral lesions and systemic disease, medication use, alcohol use and smoking. The high observed prevalence of melanotic maculae and Fordyces granules suggests that these alterations could be considered typical characteristics of the population of the Vale do Jequitinhonha. Coated tongue may be related to the socioeconomic deprivation in the region. Furthermore, the high prevalence of traumatic ulcers may be associated with the traumatic agents that caused patients to seek dental care.

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties and level of agreement between the self-administered and interviewer-administered Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) for children between 8 and 10 years of age (CPQ(8-10) ) and between 11 and 14 (CPQ(11-14) ) years of age. METHODS A randomized cross-over study was carried out, involving 180 children (Group 1 - 90 children between 8 and 10; Group 2 - 90 children between 11 and 14 years of age) in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. All children completed both administration modes of the CPQ; half of each group received interviewer-administered mode first [Subgroup A (CPQ(8-10) n = 45) and Subgroup C (CPQ(11-14) n = 45)], and the other half performed the self-administered mode first [Subgroup B (CPQ(8-10) n = 45) and Subgroup D (CPQ(11-14) n = 45)]. Test-retest reliability of each mode of administration was tested on 60 children (30 for CPQ(8-10) ; 30 for CPQ(11-14) ), who were not included in the other analyses. The level of agreement between scores on the self-administered and interviewer-administered versions of the CPQ(8-10) and CPQ(11-14) was established using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The order of presentation of both instruments was tested considering the four subgroups (A, B, C and D). The calculation of effect size proposed by Cohen (1992) was used to test the clinical significance of the findings. RESULTS Both the self-administered and interviewer-administered versions of CPQ(8-10) and CPQ(11-14) demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. Agreement between the administration modes for the CPQ(8-10) and CPQ(11-14) was 0.90 and 0.88 (ICC), respectively. With the exception of the functional limitation subscale, the scores of the subscales and overall score on the CPQ(8-10) were significantly higher in the group of children who responded to the interviewer-administered measure first. With the CPQ(11-14) , statistically significant differences were found only for the emotional well-being subscale. CONCLUSIONS Both administration modes of the CPQ(8-10) and CPQ(11-14) demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties and a high level of agreement. Although statistically significant differences were observed for oral symptoms, emotional well-being and social well-being, with the first administration of the interviewer-administered version, the effect of the order of administration had small to medium effects on the CPQ scores.

BACKGROUND Oral diseases can negatively influence the quality of life causing harm in the development of routine activities, child development and their well-being. AIM To investigate the impact of dental caries, malocclusion and developmental defects of enamel (DDE) on the oral health-related quality of life of preschool children and their parents. DESIGN A cross-sectional study was carried out with 646 children aged 2-6 years in Diamantina, Brazil. Calibrated dental examiners performed the oral examinations. Parents answered the Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS) and a questionnaire on socio-economic indicators. Statistical analyses involved the chi-square test and Poisson regression. RESULTS Malocclusion and DDE did not cause a negative impact on the childrens quality of life. Children with dental caries (PR: 1.92; 95%CI: 1.56-2.35) and those aged 5 (PR: 1.51; 95%CI: 1.13-2.02) and 6 years (PR: 1.51; 95%CI: 1.02-2.23) were more likely to have a negative quality of life impact on the total B-ECOHIS. CONCLUSIONS Dental caries was associated with a negative impact on the quality of life of children. Malocclusion and DDE did not cause a negative impact on the childrens quality of life. Older children had higher frequency of negative impact on OHRQoL.

OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of oral mucosal conditions on OHRQoL in preschool children. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out with a selected representative sample of 724 children aged 2-5 years and their parents/caregivers. Data were collected through interviews with parents/caregivers, who also answered the B-ECOHIS. A clinical oral examination was performed to determine oral mucosal conditions, dental caries, dental trauma, and malocclusion. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, the Mann-Whitney U-test and hierarchically adjusted Poisson regression models (P < 0.05, 95% CI). RESULTS The prevalence of oral mucosal conditions was 50.7%, the most prevalent of which were melanotic macules (17.8%), oral ulcers (11.0%), Fordyces spots (9.4%), geographic tongue (5.2%), fissured tongue (1.9%), median rhomboid glossitis (1.8%), and fistula (1.4%). In the final multivariate model, child with 5 years of age (RR = 1.60; 95% CI: 1.08-2.38; P = 0.020), with presence of fistula (RR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.27-2.95; P = 0.002), and with dental caries (RR = 2.58; 95% CI: 2.00-3.35; P < 0.001) had a negative impact on childrens OHRQoL. CONCLUSION Child with 5 years of age, presence of fistula, and dental caries were associated with a negative impact on the quality of life of preschool children.

This study aimed at determining the prevalence of inflammatory root resorption and associated factors in 1068 primary mandibular molars in 453 children 3 to 12 years of age. Age, dental history and medical history were recorded using a questionnaire administered to the childrens parents/caregivers. Previously trained and calibrated examiners assessed radiographic images of the primary molars by direct observation, with the aid of a viewing box. Root resorption (physiological or inflammatory), dental crown status (healthy, carious with no pulp involvement, carious with pulp involvement and evidence of restoration), and pulpotomy or pulpectomy were determined. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, the chi-square test and a multiple logistic regression (p < 0.05). The prevalence of inflammatory root resorption was 16.2% (n = 173). The male gender (OR: 1.4; 95% CI), the 3-to-7-years age bracket (OR: 1.5; 95% CI), an unhealthy dental crown (OR: 8.7; 95% CI), caries with pulp involvement (OR: 7.4; 95% CI), pulpotomy (OR: 3.1; 95% CI), and pulpectomy (OR: 5.4; 95% CI) were risk factors for the occurrence of inflammatory root resorption in primary molars. In conclusion, the prevalence of inflammatory root resorption in the present sample was 16.2%. Gender, age, an unhealthy tooth, caries with pulp involvement, pulpotomy, pulpectomy, and the absence of a restoration were associated with a higher occurrence of inflammatory root resorption in primary molars.

Objective The aim of the present systematic review was to determine the existence of scientific evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) as an adjuvant to orthodontic treatment in individuals with orofacial disorders. A further aim was to assess the methodological quality of the studies included in the review. Methods An electronic search was performed in eight databases (Medline, BBO, LILACS, Web of Science, EMBASE, BIREME, Cochrane Library and SciELO) for papers published between January 1965 and March 2011, with no language restrictions. Selection of articles and data extraction were performed by two independent researchers. The quality of the selected articles was also assessed. Results Search strategy resulted in the retrieval of 355 publications, only four of which fulfilled the eligibility criteria and qualified for final analysis. All papers selected had a high risk of bias. Conclusions The findings of the present systematic review demonstrate the scarcity of consistent studies and scientific evidence supporting the use of OMT in combination with orthodontic treatment to achieve better results in the correction of dentofacial disorders in individuals with orofacial abnormalities.

Impact of Malocclusions on Quality of Life from Childhood to Adulthood

Raquel Gonçalves Vieira-Andrade; Saul Martins de Paiva; Leandro Silva Marques

Most starter cultures belong to the lactic acid bacteria group (LAB) and recognized as safe by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). However, LAB may act as intrinsic or extrinsic reservoirs for antibiotic resistance (AR) genes. This fact may not constitute a safety concern itself, as the resistance gene transfer is vertical. Nevertheless, external genetic elements may induce changes that favor the horizontal transfer transmission of resistance from pathogens as well as from the human intestinal microbiota, which represents a severe safety issue. Some genus of AR LAB includes Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, and Streptococcus isolated from fermented meat and milk products. Currently, the WHO recommends that LAB used in the food industry should be free of resistance. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to present an overview of the LAB antibiotic resistance and some methods to determine the same.
