Abstract Background: Chemotherapy is the primary treatment modality used for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but inevitably causes microbiota-related oral complications. This study aims to investigate the effects of chemotherapy on oral health status, caries risk, and oral microbiome in pediatric patients with ALL. Methods: Thirty-nine children with ALL receiving chemotherapy were enrolled, and a gender-, age-, dentition stage and socioeconomic class matched healthy counterpart (HC) were recruited. Demographic information and overall health condition were obtained through questionnaire or medical records. Oral examination was performed to assess caries and salivary status, plaque index and other oral manifestations. Cariogram was used to assess the overall caries risk. Supragingival samples of thirteen ALL subjects and their counterparts were randomly selected to perform a 16S ribosomal RNA gene 454 pyrosequencing. Raw sequence data were screened, trimmed, and filtered using Seqcln and MOTHUR. Results: The prevalence of dental caries, gingivitis, oral mucositis, xerostomia and candidiasis in ALL group was higher than that of control group (p < 0.05). Children with ALL demonstrated higher caries risk compared with healthy controls based upon Cariogram (p < 0.05). The oral microbial structure of ALL patients receiving chemotherapy is different from that of healthy controls. Oral microbiota of ALL group showed less alpha diversity and significant differences in the composition of the oral microbiome compared to healthy controls. Conclusions: ALL patients receiving chemotherapy demonstrated compromised oral health, high caries risk, alteration of caries related factors and dysbiosis of oral microbiota. These findings may possibly be of clinical importance in developing better strategies for personalized preventive management of oral diseases for pediatric children with ALL.

Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a dental nurse–delivered intervention—the Dental RECUR Brief Negotiated Interview for Oral Health (DR-BNI)—in reducing the recurrence of dental caries in children who have a primary tooth extracted. It was based on a 2-arm multicenter randomized controlled trial with blinded outcome assessment. Participants were 5- to 7-y-old children ( n = 241) scheduled to have primary teeth extracted in 12 UK centers. Test intervention parents ( n = 119) received DR-BNI led by trained dental nurses. DR-BNI is a 30-min structured conversation informed by motivational interviewing with a forward focus to prevent future caries. Preventive goals are agreed, and a review appointment is made with child’s general dental practitioner, who is advised to treat the child as being at high caries risk. The control intervention ( n = 122) was a parent-nurse conversation about child’s future tooth eruption, with advice given to visit a general dental practitioner as usual. At baseline, the DR-BNI group’s mean dmft was 6.8, and the control group’s was 6.3. A median of 5 teeth were extracted, mainly under general anesthesia. Final dental assessments were conducted by a single examiner visiting 189 schools 2 y after intervention; 193 (80%) of 241 children were examined. In the control group, 62% developed new caries in teeth that were caries-free or unerupted at baseline, as compared with 44% in the test group, a significant reduction ( P = 0.021). The odds of new caries experience occurring were reduced by 51% in the DR-BNI group as compared with control. There was a 29% decrease in the relative risk of new caries experience in the DR-BNI group as compared with control. This single low-cost, low-intensity intervention was successful in significantly reducing the risk of recurrence of dental caries in children. This trial has implications for changing pediatric dental practice internationally. Training in and implementation of a motivational interviewing–informed brief intervention provides opportunities for dental nurses to facilitate behavior change improving the oral health of children at high caries risk (ISRCTN 24958829).

The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of the high caries risk group of 12-year-old children in Korea.Oral health status and interview data were collected from 23,089 children aged 12 years who participated in the 2015 Korean Children’s Oral Health Survey. Subjects were classified into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the Significant caries (SiC) index, and the influence of each variable was analyzed.As a result of the study, the SiC index of the high-risk group was 5.08, which was about 9.6 times higher than the lowrisk group. The risk factors associated with the high-risk group were in the order of the number of sealant teeth, dental treatment demand for the past year, perceived oral health status, gender, region, frequency of snack intake per day, and use of oral hygiene aids.In order to improve the oral health of children, appropriate preventive treatment and oral health education should be carried out with reference to the items indicated as risk factors in the high-risk group of dental caries.

Abstrak Kesehatan gigi dan mulut telah mengalami peningkatan pada beberapa tahun terakhir, tetapi prevalensi terjadinya karies gigi pada anak tetap merupakan masalah klinis yang signifikan. Anak yang berisiko karies tinggi harus segera dilakukan perawatan untuk mengurangi terjadinya karies atau mencegahnya. Upaya pencegahan yang paling efektif salah satunya adalah dengan aplikasi topikal fluoride. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan mengenai pencegahan karies khususnya pada anak usia 12-13 dan mendorong perubahan perilaku dalam menjaga kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Metode yang digunakan adalah penyuluhan, sikat gigi bersama dan pengaplikasian topical fluoride. Kegiatan ini dilakukan pada bulan Februari – Maret 2019. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah setelah dilakukan penyuluhan terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan tentang karies dan pencegahannya sebesar 48% berdasarkan hasil pre test dan post test. Kata Kunci : pencegahan karies, topikal fluoride Abstract Oral and dental health has increased in recent years, but the prevalence of dental caries in children remains a significant clinical problem. High caries risk children should immediately be treated to reduce or prevent the occurrence of dental caries. One of the most effective prevention efforts is the application of topical fluoride. The purpose of this activity is to increase knowledge about prevention of caries especially in children aged 12-13 and encourage behavioral changes in maintaining dental and oral health. The method used is counseling, toothbrush together and the application of topical fluoride. This activity was conducted in February - March 2019. The results obtained were after counseling there was an increase in knowledge about caries and prevention by 48% based on the pre test and post test. Keywords : caries prevention, topical fluoride
