The aim of this study was to describe and compare findings regarding the prevalence and severity of dental caries when using ICDAS and DMFT/dmft in an epidemiological study with children and their mothers. This cross-sectional study evaluated 150 preschoolers and their mothers. Data were collected with ICDAS and then transformed into DMFT/dmft. ICDAS scores related to caries were analyzed accor...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between: (1) children's caries score (dmft, DMFT) at the time of sealant placement; and (2) "success" (measured as being caries-free) of that tooth at follow-up visits. METHODS An existing database of over 38,000 sealants (10,038 children) placed between 1997 and 2002 by the Jefferson County Health Department's Community Ba...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the changes in caries experience and prevalence among schoolchildren of the canton of Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, over the course of 20 years. METHODS A random sample of either schoolchildren aged 7, 12, and 15 years (in 1992) or aged 12 and 15 years (in 1997) or their respective school classes (2001, 2006 and 2011) was selected so that approximately 10% of school...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of the dmft-DMFT indexes and the oral hygiene status of 136 individuals attending a special school for the disabled. METHODS Participants were grouped according to disability [Mental Retardation (MR), Cerebral Palsy (CP), Autistic Disorder (AD), Down Syndrome (DS), Other (OTH)] and age [2-6 years (n=24), 7-12 years (50 child...

THE STUDY OF THE ASSOCIATION OF DECAY RISK WITH MALOCCLUSIONS IN MIXED DENTITION AT CHILDREN FROM NORTHEAST ROMANIA. A TRANSVERSAL RETROSPECTIVE STUDY (Abstract): Aim. The purpose of this study was to investigate if high values of DMFT/dmft indices constitute risk factors for installation in various types of malocclusions in mixed dentition. Material and Methods The study consisted of 600 study...

Introduction: Oral diseases are a worldwide public health problem in need of constant evaluation and follow-up. Aim: To analyze Chilean preschoolers’ oral indicators by age, sex, socioeconomic status urban/rural location their school. Material Methods: Systematic review conducted PubMed, EMBASE, Scielo gray literature to identify epidemiological studies Chile. We included with regional represen...

We develop the extended dynamical mean field theory (E-DMFT) with a view towards realistic applications. 1) We introduce an intuitive derivation of the E-DMFT formalism. By identifying the Hartree contributions before the EDMFT treatment, it allows to handle systems in symmetry breaking phases within a simple formalism. 2) We make a new implementation of E-DMFT through real Hubbard-Stratonovich...

We present a joint implementation of dynamical-mean-field theory (DMFT) with the pseudopotential plane-wave approach, via Wannier functions, for the determination of the electronic properties of strongly correlated materials. The scheme uses, as input for the DMFT calculations, a tight-binding Hamiltonian obtained from the planewave calculations by projecting onto atomic-centered symmetry-const...
