Prediction of high-risk individuals and the multi-risk approach are common inquiries in caries risk epidemiology. These studies prepared the ground for future studies; specific hypotheses about causal patterns can now be formulated and tested applying advanced statistical methods designed for causal studies, such as structural equation modeling, path analysis and multilevel modeling. Causal stu...

Dental caries is an infectious disease that deteriorates the tooth structure, with cavities as most common result. Classified one of prevalent oral health issues, research on dental has been carried out for early detection due to pain and cost treatment. Medical in healthcare shown limitations such considerable funds time required; therefore, artificial intelligence used recent years develop mo...

The aim of this study was to the impact Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) levels on dental caries demage in children with malignant tumors undergoing radiotherapy head and neck region. case-control included 48 aged between 1 18 years divided into 2 identical groups by structure. research group (Gr1) consisted 24 region at a distance 6 months - after completion (RT). conventionally healthy were co...

D ental caries almost never kills anyone but it certainly causes pain and treatment is expensive. Loesche1 has pointed out that in the USA, the annual cost of treat­ ing dental caries was about 10 billion dollars in 1977, an amount that had increased to 22 billion dollars by 1984 and 29 billion dollars by 1988.2 Incredibly, this cost was only for the approximately 50% of people who consulted a ...

Diet and Associated Risk Factors in High-Risk Groups in Industrialized and Non-Industrialized Countries Introduction The group acknowledged that the term ‘high-risk’ is often defined in terms of past caries experience. However, a prospective analysis, in which risk prediction for future caries incidence should be determined, was more appropriate. Definition ‘High-risk’ groups included people mo...

Background: This clinical study evaluated the effects of salivary flow rate, age, race, health status and medications on the incidence of caries. Methods: Caucasian and African-American men and women (n = 501), aged 22 93 years participated in the study. Stimulated (S) and unstimulated (U) parotid (P) and submandibular glands (SM) salivary secretions were collected. Stimulated whole saliva (SWS...
