This book was released on 2010 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dental fluorosis refers to changes in the appearance of tooth enamel that are caused by long-term ingestion of fluoride during the time teeth are forming. Studies conducted in the 1930s showed that the severity of tooth decay was lower and dental fluorosis was higher in areas with more fluoride in the drinking water. In response to these findings, community water fluoridation programs were developed to add fluoride to drinking water to reach an optimal level for preventing tooth decay, while limiting the chance of developing dental fluorosis. By the 1980s, studies in selected U.S. communities reported an increase in dental fluorosis, paralleling the expansion of water fluoridation and the increased availability of other sources of ingested fluoride, such as fluoride toothpaste (if swallowed) and fluoride supplements. This report describes the prevalence of dental fluorosis in the United States and changes in the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis among adolescents between 1986-1987 and 1999-2004. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2004 and the 1986-1987 National Survey of Oral Health in U.S. School Children." - p. 1.

Book excerpt: he 2010 Indian Health Service (IHS) oral health basic screening survey (BSS) of oral health status for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children ages 1 through 5 years nationwide found substantial differences in caries prevalence between different IHS service areas. The reasons for these differences are not well understood. Socioeconomic status (SES) may be a related factor, as it is well established that SES is a strong predictor of caries prevalence. However, it is possible that some IHS service areas have managed to achieve relatively low caries prevalence despite low SES. This observational study examined associations between caries prevalence among preschool-aged AI/AN children and county-level SES to identify service areas in which caries prevalence was not well explained by SES.Two sources of data were used for this study. Caries prevalence data among children ages 1 through 5 years from 76 study sites was drawn from the 2010 IHS BSS. Demographic, economic and social information describing the AI/AN population in the county for each of the 76 sites were selected from the American Community Survey. Associations between county SES characteristics and study site caries prevalence were examined using correlation and linear regression analyses. Of the 76 study sites evaluated during the 2010 IHS BSS, caries outcomes and SES indicators varied widely. The percentage of children having experienced dental decay ranged from 14% to 88%, and percentage of children with untreated decay ranged from 0.5% to 74%. Percentage of decayed teeth overall ranged from 2.7% to 37.9%. Median annual income of the county ranged from $17,778 to $63,000; unemployment ranged from 6.4% to 32.9%, and percentage of the AI/AN population with a bachelor's degree ranged from 3% to 22.5%. Median income, unemployment, and educational all showed some correlation with caries prevalence. Linear regression analysis found that of the SES indicators studied, the SES indicator most predictive of caries prevalence was the percentage of the population having attained a bachelor's degree or a higher level of college education (part R2 11% - 22%). Multivariate linear regression analysis adjusting for median income, % unemployment, and % bachelor's degree found that these three SES indicators taken together can explain 29% of the variation observed in percent of teeth with decay, 21% of the variation in any decay experience, and 16% of the variation in any untreated decay. For many study sites, caries prevalence was much higher or lower than what would be predicted based on SES indicators. Sites with the highest and lowest observed caries prevalence tended to also be the sites with highest and lowest observed-predicted values: the healthiest and least healthy areas remained the healthiest and least healthy even after accounting for SES. Caries prevalence within the IHS BSS communities studied was not always well explained by SES, indicating that other factors may be contributing to caries prevalence. These communities should be studied further to discover what factors may be more related to caries prevalence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results with 9,566 children who participated for four years in a 10-site, school-based preventive care program indicated that dental health lessons, brushing and flossing, fluoride tablets and mouthrinsing, and professionally applied topical fluorides were not especially effective in reducing a clinically significant amount of dental decay. This was true when the procedures were used singly or in combination. The only study procedure that consistently reduced decay involved applying occlusal sealants to the chewing surfaces of the posterior teeth. Although this measure prevented 23 to 65 percent of all new carious lesions, this amounted to only one to two carious surfaces in four years. Children who were especially susceptible to decay did not benefit appreciably more from any of the preventive measures than did children in general. The direct costs of sealants or prophy/gel treatments were about $23 per child per year (in 1981 dollars). The cost of adding a fluoride mouthrinse program to an existing supervised health education program was about $3.29 per child per year. Communal water fluoridation was reaffirmed as the most cost effective measure for reducing dental decay in children.
