Background In severe aortic stenosis (AS), hemodynamics and conventional indices do not fully explain symptoms, prognosis or treatment response. We hypothesize that diffuse myocardial fibrosis (DMF) is a key missing factor in AS. This can now be accurately measured non-invasively using equilibrium contrast CMR (EQ-CMR) [1] involving a primed gadolinium infusion, T1 measurement preand post-infus...

the dmf index of 2000 school children (1000 boys, 1000 girls) 10 to 15 years old is reported. cases were selected randomly among the school children of different schools, situated in various economic zones of isfahan city. almost 50000 permanent teeth have been examined for healthy, decayed (d), missed (m), and filled (f), and recorded as the dmf index. the mean dmf index of boys and girls unde...

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect attention deficit hyperactivity disorder on children's caries indices, plaque scores, and brushing habits in children aged 5-17 years.
 Methodology: A total 100 (39 with 61 healthy children) were included study. index, decay-missed-filled primary tooth (dmf-t) permanent (DMF-T) index values evaluated by clinical examination. using S...

In dental epidemiology, the decayed (D), missing (M), and filled (F) teeth or surfaces index (DFM index) is a frequently used measure. The DMF index is characterized by a strongly positive skewed distribution with a large stack of zero counts for those individuals without caries experience. Therefore, standard generalized linear models often lead to a poor fit. The hurdle regression model is a ...

OBJECTIVE To analyze whether two simplified indices, "DMF in 6 Teeth"(DMF6T) and "DMF in two quadrants" (DMF2Q), could be indicated for epidemiological surveys of oral health according to dental caries distribution. METHODS The sample came from epidemiological data in 29 municipalities. A total of 2,378 examinations were done on 12-year-old schoolchildren. The mean DMFT from each locality was...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of occlusal surfaces of first permanent molars in 6- to 8-year-old children using the Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment (CAST) index and to assess how it correlates with DMF in the surveyed population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1931 occlusal surfaces of first permanent molars in 6-8-year-old children from Bialystok District, P...

Aim: The objective of the study was to determine if there is any reduction in periodontal disease in people living in areas where the drinking water contains fluoride in more than optimum levelas compared to its definite proven anti caries activity. Methodology: A survey with 320 patients in two groups of 160 each in Sengattur [4.4ppm] Salem District, Tamil Nadu and Nalgonda [3.5ppm], in Andhra...

The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiologic relationship between oral health attitudes and behavior as measured by the Hiroshima University-Dental Behavioral Inventory (HU-DBI) and dental caries status using the DMF in a sample of young Israeli adults. The HU-DBI (in Hebrew) was used to survey 123 young Israeli army recruits (eighteen and nineteen years old). All participants sub...
