The effect of social geographic factors on the untreated tooth decay among head start children
2017
Background: Disparities among untreated dental caries exist for children from low-income families in the United States. Understanding of the mechanism of the disparities is required to reduce it and social geographic factors are one of the important influences. Although the effect of fluoridated water has been well reported, studies of other sociogeograpic factors, such as the density of available dentists, are still very limited. The objective of this study is to explore the effect of sociogeographic factors on the number of primary teeth with untreated dental caries among children from low-income families who are enrolled in Head Start programs throughout Northeast Ohio of the United Stat…
The effects of three remineralizing agents on regression of white spot lesions in children: A two-week, single-blind, randomized clinical trial.
2016
Background This study investigated the effect of three remineralizing agents on improving white spot lesions (WSLs). Material and Methods This clinical trial included children who had at least one WSL on anterior teeth of upper or lower jaws. The participants were randomly assigned to 4 groups by treatment: 1) a cream containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and fluoride (MI Paste Plus); 2) a cream containing hydroxyapatite and fluoride (Remin Pro); 3) a 2% sodium fluoride gel; and 4) usual home care (control). The treatment was performed for 3 times over 10 days using special trays for retaining remineralizing agents. The area and mineral content of WSLs were measured a…
Dental pain associated with untreated dental caries and sociodemographic factors in 5-year-old children
2020
Background The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of dental pain and to examine its association with untreated dental caries in 5-year-old children. Material and Methods This was a cross-sectional study of 261 5-year-old children in Northeast Brazil. Parents answered questions about their socioeconomic conditions and their children's toothache. Trained dentists assessed dental caries using the decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmf-t) index. Binary logistic regression models were used to estimate the unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and the confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the association of dental pain with covariates. The significance level was set at five percent. …
Psychosocial and socioeconomically aspects of mothers having a child with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) : a pilot-study during the first year of life
2020
Background The emotional impact on parents at the birth of their new-born with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) can be traumatic for parents, especially mothers, and affect the sensitive early parent-child relationship. Unlike many other congenital malformations facial deformities are visible to all. The uncommon facial appearance creates feelings and reactions in the mother, families and other people. Only few studies deal with this psychosocial burden of these mothers. Material and methods This pilot-study deals with mothers' early experiences (n=84) having a child with CL/P. Mothers were asked to complete a questionnaire at diagnosis, birth and after lip surgery. The questions were focused…
Wykorzystanie koncepcji profilaktyki pozytywnej w pracy opiekuńczo-wychowawczej domu dziecka
2021
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie możliwości wykorzystania założeń koncepcji profilaktyki pozytywnej oraz skonstruowanego na jej podstawie modelu wielowymiarowej profilaktyki pozytywnej w pracy opiekuńczo-wychowawczej domu dziecka. Artykuł zwraca uwagę na znaczenie jakości pracy opiekuńczo-wychowawczej dla pomyślnego procesu usamodzielnienia wychowanków poza murami placówki. Uwzględniając specyfikę czynników ryzyka występujących w życiu wychowanków, przedstawia propozycję modyfikacji tradycyjnie ujmowanej funkcji profilaktycznej domu dziecka. Zaproponowana transformacja polega na organizowaniu pracy opiekuńczo-wychowawczej skupiającej się nie tylko na redukowaniu czynników ryzyka, lecz także na …
Comparative analysis of the remineralization potential of CPP–ACP with Fluoride, Tri-Calcium Phosphate and Nano Hydroxyapatite using SEM/EDX – An in …
2019
Background In recent years, the non-invasive management of non cavitated caries lesions using remineralization systems to repair the enamel have received more attention from the scientific community. Aim: To quantitatively evaluate the remineralization potential of Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate-fluoride(CPP-ACPF), Tri-calcium phosphate(TCP) & Nano-hydroxyapatite(nHAP) using Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray Analysis(EDX). Material and Methods 40 enamel specimens were prepared, and immersed in demineralising solution at a pH of 4.4 for 96 hours at 37°C, to induce artificial carious lesions. Remineralization was carried out for a period of 30 da…
Novel COVID-19 Intersections with Dentistry: Approaches to protection
2021
Background: COVID-19 outbreak brought many challenges to the society and to health care systems Health care professionals in dental practices are a high-risk population, due to close contact to saliva and aerosols Specific guidance for those professionals is essential to control disease transmission and guarantee dentist's health Material and Methods: We performed a literature review based on online search in Pubmed, Scientific Electronic Library, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciencias da Saude and Scopus databases Included articles were fully read and analysed regarding infection control measurements, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), conditions for procedures and us…
Physical activity, diet quality and all-cause cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality: A prospective study of 346 627 UK Biobank participants
2022
ObjectivesTo examine independent and interactive associations of physical activity and diet with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and physical activity, diet and adiposity-related (PDAR) cancer mortality.MethodsThis population-based prospective cohort study (n=346 627) is based on the UK Biobank data with linkage to the National Health Service death records to 30 April 2020. A left-truncated Cox proportional hazards model was fitted to examine the associations between exposures (self-reported total moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), vigorous-intensity physical activity (VPA) and a diet quality index (score ranged 0–3)) and outcomes (all-cause, CVD and PDAR cance…

Union representation and prevention of occupational risks during the crisis: impact and limits
2019
La investigación que presentamos estudia el impacto de la intervención sindical en materia de salud laboral, en lo que se refiere tanto a la gestión preventiva y creación de una cultura participativa como en los procesos de vigilancia y control de las condiciones de trabajo. A tal efecto, se han consultado las principales encuestas nacionales e internacionales sobre gestión de riesgos laborales en las empresas, analizando los datos más relevantes en base a modelos de regresión logística y lineal, lo que ha permitido constatar que la representación sindical de los trabajadores en la empresa (generalista y especializada) correlaciona positivamente con el desarrollo de las principales dimensio…
