Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Caries progression or reversal of the process depends on the balance between demineralization and re-mineralization. "Caries balance" is determined by the relative weight of the sum of pathological risk factors and the sum of protective factors. Objective to identify the main risk factors for caries of temporary teeth acting in the studied group of children through a survey of their parents. Material and Methods: Parents of children from the town Varna and Varna region. Displacement Monitoring 100 persons. Units of observation: Patients 3 to 6 years with a need for prevention and treatment of dental caries temporary dentition. Methodology: Direct individual anonymous questionnaire completed by the parents of patients in dental practices in the city of Varna, University Medical Dental Center Varna- and clinical halls of Faculty of Dental Medicine – Varna, Bulgaria. Results: Children 81.0% with dmft> 1. All 81.0% have tested emerging active primary carious lesions d1 and d2 during the last year. Our results show that the worst risk factors for the development of caries in that age group had increased amounts of Str. Mutans, which found in 85.0% of children. In our study the prevalence of caries is high. Conclusion: The analysis in our study proves the strong influence of the carbohydrate diet and poor oral hygiene with the development and progression of carious process in the mixed dentition. Of all the factors we examined found that children have a high risk for dental caries.
