Periodic national surveys of dental health since 1968, and a coordinated program of local surveys of children since 1985, have provided a comprehensive picture of trends in dental caries experience in Great Britain over the course of two decades. This review of some of the findings examines changes in adult caries experience, together with the related phenomenon of total tooth loss; presents evidence of a cohort effect in the decline in caries among children and young adults; and considers likely future trends and their implications for the dental services. Conclusions drawn were: (1) Although the proportion of the population with no natural teeth is declining rapidly among young adults, levels of edentulousness among older age groups will remain high for some time to come; (2) in England and Wales, a modest decline in caries experience of young adults between 1968 and 1978 accelerated between 1978 and 1988 [The greatest change in annual rate of reduction over two decades was in 16-24-year-olds, and in absolute terms, mean DMFT in this age group decreased from 15.7 to 10.4 during the period.]; (3) a cohort effect is discernible in the changing pattern [Thus, caries has apparently stabilized in young children, whereas in adolescents and young adults the rate of decline has increased.]; and (4) smaller improvements in dental health have occurred in Scotland than in England and Wales.

Class 1

Depending upon the site of the tooth, accessibility of oral hygiene products like toothbrush, tooth floss etc. different teeth have varying susceptibility to getting infected by cariogenic bacteria. Plaque accumulation, occlusal morphology, oral hygiene practices etc. play an important role in determining the susceptibility of teeth towards caries. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using patient records from the Dental College, Chennai after reviewing and analysing the data of 86000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020. The variables involved were age, gender and site of carious teeth. Data were then exported to the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows (Version 19, 2010) for further analysis. The total sample size was 19014. The sample had a gender distribution of 55.56% males and 44.44% females. Class 1 dental caries was found to be most prevalent in sextant 6 that is the lower right posterior teeth region. Least incidence of class 1 DC was noted in sextant 5, which is the lower anterior teeth. Young adults (18-35 years) had the highest incidence of class 1 dental caries (p<0.05). Among males and females, respectively, class 1 caries was most prevalent in sextant 6 (p<0.05). Within the limits of the study, it can be concluded that caries experience is highest in mandibular posteriors. There was a slight male predilection in the prevalence of class 1 dental caries. Young adults in the age group, 18-35 years, have the highest incidence of class 1 DC.

Abstract This systematic review compared the oral health status between institutionalized and non-institutionalized elders. The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs and Cochrane Library, in a comprehensive and unrestricted manner. Electronic searches retrieved 1687 articles, which were analyzed with regards to respective eligibility criteria. After reading titles and abstracts, five studies were included and analyzed with respect their methodological quality. Oral status of institutionalized and non-institutionalized elderly was compared through meta-analysis. Included articles involved a cross-sectional design, which investigated 1936 individuals aged 60 years and over, being 999 Institutionalized and 937 non-institutionalized elders. Studies have investigated the prevalence of edentulous individuals, the dental caries experience and the periodontal status. Meta-analysis revealed that institutionalized elderly have greater prevalence of edentulous (OR = 2.28, 95%CI = 1.68-3.07) and higher number of decayed teeth (MD = 0.88, 95%CI = 0.71-1.05) and missed teeth (MD = 4.58, 95%CI = 1.89-7.27). Poor periodontal status did not differ significantly between groups. Compared to non-institutionalized, institutionalized elders have worse dental caries experience.
