Objective: To analyse the oral health status of the indigenous people Xukuru from Ororubá aged 10 to 14 years old, in Pernambuco, Brazil. Method: A cross-sectional population-based study developed within the limits of the Indigenous Land Xukuru, from January to March 2010. Oral examinations were performed on a sample of 233 indigenous people. The software SPSS 13.0® was used for descriptive analysis. Later, in order to measure the effect of factors associated with the absence of caries, Poisson log-linear multilevel models were tested with the statistical software MLwiN 2.02®. Results: Oral examinations identified a DMFT Index average of 2.38 (± 2.62). Among all individuals examined, 26.61% were caries free. Multiple regression analysis revealed a negative association between the absence of caries and the variables: higher average of people per household in the villages, higher number of residents per household, older age, male sex, not knowing how to read and write, and very dissatisfied/dissatisfied with teeth/mouth. The variables higher income per capita, not sleeping due to dental problems, had never been to the dentist, no occurrence of toothache, and no need for dental treatment were positively associated with the absence of caries. Conclusion: The absence of caries is associated with contextual and individual factors of the indigenous people Xukuru from Ororubá, aged 10 to 14 years old.

Abstract Background: Poor oral hygiene can lead to serious diseases, like periodontitis, tooth decay, pain and discomfort in teeth or gums, infection, and loss of teeth. In Iran, particularly adults between 50 years and older experience oral health problems, and this age group will grow the next decades. Despite increasing attention into healthy aging, there is less emphasis on oral hygiene. This survey aimed to investigate oral health status among Iranian adults. This knowledge may provide vital information to those who are planning strategies of oral health care. Method: A population-based household survey was conducted to recruit a representative sample of adults. This study was carried out among adults aged 18-65 years between May and October 2016 in Tabriz, Iran. The study population was sampled using a multi-stage cluster sampling design. The WHO’s oral health questionnaire (WHO’s OHQ) was used for measuring oral health status and oral health behavior. Results: In total, 2310 respondents completed the survey. The mean age (SD) of the participants was 41.6(23.4) years. About 48.8% of participants were male and 51.2% were female. 187(8.1%) were edentulous, and 152 (20.7%) of those participants were aged 50 to 65 years. 72.3% of the sample were dentate in that they had 20 or more teeth. Half of adults aged 50-65 years said they had 20 or more teeth. In general, about one-third of the participants reported that they don’t brush their teeth daily (23% for 18-35-year-old adults, 35.9% for 36-50-year-old adults, and 44.6% for 51- to 65-year-old adults). In our sample, 39.4% of 18-35-year-olds, 34.1% of 36-50-year-olds, and 26.6% of 51-65-year-olds had visited a dentist less than six months ago. One-third of participants eat sweets every day and frequently consume tea with sugar. Conclusion: The oral health status indicates that even though the majority of Iranian people assess their dental health positively, only a minority of participants have regular dental visits. Visits to the dentist decline by increasing age, and oral health problems increase. The study findings underline the importance of dental visits and that poor oral health may increase the risk of adverse health outcomes, particularly as age increases.

RESUMEN. Antecedentes: Se requiere analizar la situación de salud bucal en grupos vulnerables desde la perspectiva de los determinantes sociales para establecer estrategias de intervención efectivas. Objetivo: Describir el estado de salud bucal y factores relacionados en un grupo de mujeres en situación de prostitución en la ciudad de Medellín (Colombia). Métodos: Este fue un estudio descriptivo en una muestra por conveniencia de 53 mujeres que ejercen la prostitución. Se aplicó encuesta y examen clínico y se analizaron variables de autopercepción de salud bucal, índice COP-D (cariados, obturados y perdidos), índice de caries significativa (SiC), problemas de articulación temporomandibular (ATM) y estado protésico. Resultados: 88,2 % de las mujeres encuestadas reportaron un mal estado de salud bucal, 81 % se sentían insatisfechas con su estado bucal y 60 % reportó problemas bucales. La prevalencia de caries dental fue del 64 %, con un COP-D de 15,6 (±8,4), y un SiC de 25,5 (±3,6). Se presentaron diferencias en el estado de salud bucal en indicadores clínicos y subjetivos según factores sociodemográficos. Más de tres cuartas partes requerían cambia o realizar nuevas prótesis superiores o inferiores. En casi la mitad se hallaron ruidos articulares en la ATM según evaluación clínica. Conclusiones: El estado de salud bucal según los indicadores analizados es reflejo de las condiciones sociales en que se encuentran estas mujeres. Se encontraron diferencias en los indicadores de salud bucal de acuerdo con diferentes factores sociodemográficos, lo cual sugiere la influencia de los determinantes sociales en las desigualdades en salud bucal.ABSTRACT. Background: The analysis of the oral health situation in vulnerable groups from a perspective of social determinants is required to implement effective intervention strategies. Purpose: To describe the oral health status and its related factors in a group of women in situation of prostitution in Medellín (Colombia). Methods: A descriptive study was conducted with a convenience sample of 53 women. A survey and clinical examination was carried out. The study analyzed variables related to self-perceived oral health, DTMF Index, Significant Caries Index (SiC), temporomandibular joint problems (TMJ), and the status of fixed/removable prosthesis. Results: 88.2 % of the surveyed women reported their oral health status was poor, 81 % of them felt unsatisfied with their mouth, and 60 % reported oral problems. The prevalence of dental caries was 64 %, with a DTMF of 15.6 (± 8.4), and a SiC of 25.5 (± 3.6). There were differences in oral health status in clinical and subjective indicators according to sociodemographic factors. More than three-quarters required changing or making new upper and/or lower partial or fixed dentures. In almost half, articular noises were found in TMJ according to the clinical evaluation. Conclusions: The oral health status, from the basis of the indicators analyzed, reflects the social conditions found in these women. Differences in the oral health indicators were in accordance to sociodemographic factors. This situation suggests that there is an influence of social determinants on oral health inequalities.

ABSTRACT Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate oral health related quality of life (OHRQOL) in Turkish adults attending a dental school by using Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) inventory. Materials and methods This study included 1324 patients. A modified questionnaire including sociodemographic information, questions about OHRQOL and OIDP inventory was prepared. The questions consisted of reasons and frequency for dental attendance, self-reported oral health status of the participants and number of natural teeth was recorded. Results The rates of participants experienced at least one OIDP impact was 65.2% and eating was the most affected item (41.6%). There was statistically significant difference between number of missing teeth-self reported oral health status, number of missing teeth-sociodemographic factors for the participants who reported at least one OIDP impact. Conclusion This study showed that OHRQOL of Turkish adults attending a dental school is affected several factors including sociodemographic factors, regular dental visit and number of missing teeth similarly other societies. Clinical significance OIDP inventory assesses impacts of oral health conditions that affect daily activities of an individual and is commonly used as OHRQOL indicator. Also, it is important self-report information of patients about changing their oral conditions and affecting daily life for the clinicians. There is insufficient data for OIDP inventory of Turkish dental patients. OHRQOL of Turkish adults was evaluated by using OIDP inventory in this study. The scale was found as a valid and reliable instrument for Turkish dental patients and was determined the relationships between this scale and several parameters.

Abstract Background: A poor oral health can lead to serious oral diseases like periodontitis, tooth decay, pain and discomfort in teeth or gums, infection and loss of tooth. Iran will experience a dramatic aging population increase in the next decades. Despite increasing attention into healthy ageing, there is relatively less emphasis on oral health. This household survey aimed to investigate oral health status by WHO oral health assessment questionnaire among adults population in Tabriz. This knowledge may provide vital information to those who are planning strategies of oral health care for adult population. Method: A population-based household survey was conducted in order to recruit a representative sample of adults from the community. This cross-sectional study carried out among adults aged 18 to 65 years old between May and October 2016 in Tabriz (Iran). The study population was sampled using multi-stage cluster sampling design. The WHO’s oral health questionnaire (WHO’s OHQ) for adults was used for measuring oral health status and oral health behavior. Results: In this study, a total of 2310 respondents completed the survey. The mean age (SD) of the participants was 41.6 (23.4) years. About 48.8% of participants were male and 51.2% were female. 187 (8.1%) were edentulous of which 152(20.7%) were participants aged 50-65 year. 72.3% of populations were dentate in that they had 20 or more teeth. Half of adults aged 50-65 years they had 20 or more teeth. About one third of participants reported that they don’t brush their teeth daily (23% for 18-35 years old adults, 35.9 for 36-50 years,and 44.6 for 51-65 years). 39.4% of adults in 18-35 years, 34.1% in 36-50 years and 26.6 in 51-65 years had visited a dentist less than 6-month ago. One third of participants have frequent sweets meals every day and frequently consume tea with sugar. Conclusion: The combination of oral health status indicates that even though the majority of Iranian assess their teeth positively, a minority of participants display routinely dental visits. The study findings suggest that by increasing age and also dramatically Iranian population aging, poor oral health may increase the risk of adverse health outcomes.
