This study assessed the feelings and attitudes of children toward their dentists and their association with oral health. Methods. A questionnaire designed to evaluate the attitudes of children toward dentists and preferences was completed by 200 children and their families. In addition, the children were examined and the World Health Organization (WHO) method was used to obtain dmft and DMFT sc...

AIM The main purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and distribution of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) and enamel hypoplasia in 12-year old students in junior high school in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS This descriptive study was carried out in 2001 on 1,223 12-year old students, which were randomly selected in Yazd and Hadi-Shahr, Iran. A questionnaire was designed to r...

The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of caries in 7-12-year-old children from Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil, in 1989 and 1995. Systematic random samples were drawn from the population of children enrolled in public schools. The surveys were carried out by trained examiners using the DMFT index and WHO diagnostic criteria. There was an increase in the percentage of children free o...

BACKGROUND Even though it has been widely studied, early childhood caries (ECC) remains a serious public health problem, especially in countries where there is no national program of oral health assessment and no genuine primary oral health care, such as in Kosovo. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of ECC and analyze caries risk factors. METHODS The subjects were 1,008 pr...

BACKGROUND To evaluate oral health in postmenopausal women and verify whether there is a correlation between tooth loss according to index of decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) and bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 women. The DMFT and its associations with lumbar and femoral BMD (T-score and g/cm) were assessed. Analysis of covariance and mu...

Introduction: Dental caries is still a major health problem in most countries as it school-aged children and adults also. continues to be public problem, especially low- middle- income countries. It can prevented treated with proper utilization of dental services. Untreated have pain infection significant impact on general health. Method: This study was conducted assess the untreated using pufa...

Aim: to assess prevalence and severity of dental caries (DMFT for permanent dentition dmft primary dentition) among Libyan children. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study including a random sample 372 children was conducted in Benghazi. Experience assessed by decayed, missing, filled teeth DMFT indices using WHO criteria diagnosing caries. The data were entered managed SPSS software ve...

We propose a fast impurity solver for the general quantum impurity model based on the perturbation theory around the atomic limit, which can be used in combination with the local density approximation LDA and the dynamical mean-field theory DMFT . We benchmark the solver in the two-band Hubbard model within DMFT against quantum Monte Carlo QMC and numerical renormalization-group NRG results. We...
