The association between beverage consumption pattern and dental problems in Iranian adolescents: a cross sectional study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:With regard to the increasing consumption rates of unhealthy beverages among adolescents, the main purpose of the present study was to determine the association between beverage intake pattern and dental caries and tooth erosion in this age group. METHODS:A total sample of 600 adolescents was recruited in this study using a multistage cluster random sampling method in the city of Kerman, in the southeast of Iran, in 2017. Then, the Decayed, Missed and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and the Tooth Wear Index (TWI) were registered for each participant. A Beverage Frequency Questionnaire was also employed to estimate typical beverage intake frequency. Correspondingly, negative binominal regression and logistic regression were performed to determine the independent variables associated with the DMFT index and the TWI. RESULTS:The findings revealed that the highest consumed beverage in daily living was tea in both genders, followed by sweetened soft beverages, as well as milk and kefir/yogurt drink. The results of the DMFT index were also significantly different in participants that had never consumed milk compared with those who had used milk on a daily basis. Moreover, the DMFT index in participants who had never consumed sweetened soft beverages was 39%, less than those who had had a daily intake of such beverages. Also, the chance of tooth erosion for participants who had never used sweetened soft beverages was 94%, lower than that in daily consumers. CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study revealed that adolescents had an unhealthy beverage intake pattern. Furthermore, milk consumption was beneficial to dental caries, whereas use of soft drinks associated with more dental caries and tooth erosion.

Project description:BackgroundDental problems (DPs) and physical chronic diseases (CDs) are highly prevalent and incident in people with low socioeconomic status such as homeless individuals. Yet, evidence on the association between DPs and physical CDs in this population is limited. In the present study, we assessed the association between DPs and type and number of CDs in individuals experienced chronic homelessness and serious mental health problems.MethodsWe analyzed cross-sectional baseline data from 575 homeless adults with serious mental health problems participating in the Toronto site of the At Home/Chez Soi randomized controlled trial. Chronic DPs (lasting at least 6?months) were the primary exposure variable. Presence of self-reported CDs, including heart disease, effect of stroke, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, chronic bronchitis/emphysema, stomach or intestinal ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, migraine, thyroid problems, arthritis, kidney/bladder problems, liver disease (other than hepatitis), and iron-deficiency anemia, were the primary outcomes. The total number of CDs was also analyzed as a secondary outcome. Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between DPs with each of the studied CDs, and negative binomial regression was used to test the association between DPs with the number of CDs.ResultsIn our 575 homeless participants (68.5% males) with mean age 40.3 (11.8) years, a high proportion had DPs (42.5%). The presence of DPs was positively associated with heart disease (adjusted odds ratio (AOR):4.19,1.67-10.52), diabetes (AOR:2.17,1.13-4.17), chronic bronchitis (AOR:2.34,1.28-4.29), stomach or intestinal ulcer (AOR:3.48,1.80-6.73), inflammatory bowel disease (AOR:2.52,1.38-4.60), migraine (AOR:1.80,1.20-2.72), arthritis (AOR:2.71,1.71-4.29), kidney/bladder problems (AOR:2.43,1.30-4.54), and iron-deficiency anemia (AOR:3.28,1.90-5.65). DPs were also associated with a higher number of CDs (IRR: 1.62,1.38-1.90).ConclusionDental health problems in homeless individuals with serious mental disorders are associated with several CDs. Dental care should be better integrated into existing social and health programs serving this population to improve their overall health status. The AH/CS study is registered with the International Standard Randomized Control Trial Number Register (ISRCTN42520374).

Project description:Dental caries is still a major public health problem owing to its high prevalence and incidence in several regions. Planning and development of effective preventive and treatment modalities for the management of dental caries demand information on disease pattern and treatment needs of the populations. However, there is a paucity of this information in Uganda. The aim of the present study was to identify the dental caries pattern and treatment needs among Ugandan adolescent students. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 11- to 19-year-old adolescents attending two secondary schools in Kampala and Mukono districts of Uganda. At both schools, random sampling was used to select the participating classes and the adolescents. Decayed teeth and treatment needs were recorded using the World Health Organization Basic Oral Health Survey criteria. A total of 406 adolescents comprising of 249 female and 157 male students participated in the study. Data were analysed using STATA, version 12.0. The prevalence of decayed teeth (DT) was expressed as a percentage of individuals with DT score ?1. The treatment needs were categorised into three groups. Associations between dependent and independent variables were evaluated using cross-tabulation, chi-square test, and Poisson regression analysis. The overall prevalence of decayed teeth was 62.6% and mean DT was 1.7?±?2.3. A total of 696 decayed teeth were observed, and the molar teeth, particularly the second molar (50.6%), were the most significantly affected. The prevalence of caries was higher in the mandible (51.4%) compared to the maxilla though the difference was not statistically significant. Decayed teeth were significantly (p < 0.05) associated with difficulty in chewing, history of dental pain in the past 12 months, poor perception of tooth state, and the female participants. Majority (59.4%) of the study participants required restorations of teeth. About 83.2% (n?=?579) of the teeth needed restorations, while 44 needed extractions. In conclusion, the prevalence of decayed teeth was high among the study population. It is recommended that school health programmes should include oral health preventive and curative interventions to achieve optimum health.
