RESUMO

Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la autopercepción de calidad de vida asociada a salud bucal y los determinantes sociales, con la ayuda de un instrumento adaptado culturalmente en inmigrantes haitianos de la ciudad de Talca. Materiales y Métodos: Este estudio tuvo un diseño transversal, incluyendo adaptación cultural (grupos focales) y traducción al créole de encuestas poblacionales chilenas. Se aplicó el instrumento a una muestra por conveniencia de haitianos/as. Se analizaron descriptivamente los datos demográficos, socio-económicos y de calidad de vida asociada con salud bucal (OHIP-7), seguido por un análisis bivariante (chi-cuadrado). Resultados: Participaron un total de 116 personas, mayoría hombres (60.4%) con edades de 19 a 47 años. Un 33% no entiende español. Un 51,7% considera que su salud oral es regular o mala. Factores demográficos no se asociaron a una peor percepción de salud bucal. Calidad de la vivienda, problemas de comunicación y desconocimiento del sistema de salud afectan negativamente la percepción de calidad de vida asociada con salud bucal. Conclusión: Los migrantes haitianos, en su mayoría, perciben su salud oral como regular o mala. Sobre todo, en grupos más desprotegidos la salud oral es percibida como deteriorada y parece tener un efecto negativo en su calidad de vida.


Introduction: The aim of this study was to explore the oral health-related quality of life and social determinants among Haitian immigrants residing in the city of Talca. A culturally adapted survey instrument was designed and used. Methods: The study had a cross-sectional design, including a cultural adaptation (focus groups) and translation to creole of national health surveys. The survey was applied in a convenience sample of Haitian immigrants. Descriptive analyses of demographic, socio-economic and oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-7) were conducted. Bivariate analyses included chi-squared tests. Results: A total of 116 respondents answered the survey. The majority were males (60.4%) with ages ranging from 19 to 47 years. 33% of the sample did not comprehend Spanish. Most than half of participants (51.7%) perceived their oral health as fair or poor. Demographic factors did not affect the oral health perception. Housing, language and health system ignorance negatively affected the perception of the oral health-related quality of life. Conclusion: The majority of Haitian immigrants perceived their oral health as fair or poor. Among more vulnerable groups, oral health is perceived as deteriorated and with an adverse effect on the quality of life.

RESUMO

New paradigms in caries conceptualization have emerged during the last decades, leading to intense debate and discussion on how to approach the disease, both from a preventive and a therapeutic perspective. Among many new ideas, research discoveries and technologies, one major concept can be highlighted that created a deep frontier between the old and the new paradigm in caries conceptualization; the non-communicable nature of the disease, firmly associated with behaviors and lifestyles. This article synthetizes the conceptual construction of dental caries as a non-communicable disease (NCD) based on the current evidence and discusses the appropriate management of the disease in this context. Dental caries has shifted from being considered transmissible and infectious to an ecological and non-communicable disease. Environmental factors such as frequent sugars intake, disrupt the symbiosis of the dental biofilm leading to a dysbiosis, which favors caries lesion initiation and progression. As an NCD, dental caries shares characteristics with other NCDs such as cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases, cancer and diabetes, including long duration and slow progression, not being transmissible from person-to-person, being strongly related to modifiable behavioral risk factors, and affecting preferentially disadvantaged populations with a strong inequality gradient. Given the high prevalence of dental caries, and its consequences on people's health and quality of life, a recognizable conceptual view of caries as a NCD is required to target an effective management. Current understanding of dental caries supports prevention through acting on the modifiable risk factors (behaviors) and involves management based on an interdisciplinary approach. Communicating these modern concepts among researchers, clinicians and policymakers is needed to decrease the global high burden of the disease.

RESUMO

Objetive: To evaluate microleakage of composite resins (CR) placed over different cavitary liners after managing deep caries lesions through selective removal of soft carious tissue to soft dentin (SRCT-S). Material and Methods: Fifty four human teeth were collected for microleakage testing. Each assay comprised ICDAS 5 or ICDAS 6 carious lesions and sound teeth for controls. Sound teeth were prepared with cavities that mirrored the carious teeth cavities, which were prepared with SRCT-S. Sound and carious teeth were further randomly assigned to one of the three experimental groups: Group A: universal adhesive (UA) + CR, Group B: glass ionomer cement liner + UA + CR, and Group C: calcium hydroxide + UA+ CR. Occlusal microleakage (OM) and cervical microleakage (CM) was classified within one of 5 depth categories. ANOVA and Chi-square tests were computed (p<0.05). Results: OM and CM were similarly distributed across subgroups (p>0.05). All Group C samples with carious lesions presented some degree of microleakage. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between groups and within each group (p>0.05). Conclusion: Teeth restored with CR after SRCT-S using calcium hydroxide as a liner material seem to exhibit higher microleakage than those restored using glass ionomer or UA alone. Further clinical research is needed to deepen these findings. Clinical significance: The application of calcium hydroxide as a liner under a composite resin may reduce the longevity of a restoration after performing selective or partial removal of carious tissues. Clinicians should rethink the need of using calcium hydroxide for this application, albeit the lack of clinical evidence.


Objetivo: Evaluar la microfiltración de resinas compuestas (RC) colocadas sobre diferentes liners cavitarios después del manejo de lesiones de caries profundas mediante la remoción selectiva de tejido cariado blando hasta dentina blanda (SRCT-S). Material y Métodos: Se recolectaron 54 dientes humanos para pruebas de microfiltración. Cada ensayo comprendía lesiones cariosas ICDAS 5 o ICDAS 6 y dientes sanos para los controles. Se prepararon dientes sanos con cavidades que reflejaban las cavidades de los dientes cariados, que se prepararon con SRCT-S. Los dientes sanos y cariados se asignaron al azar a uno de los tres grupos experimentales: Grupo A: adhesivo universal (AU) + RC, Grupo B: revestimiento de cemento de ionómero de vidrio + AU + RC, y Grupo C: hidróxido de calcio + AU+ RC. La microfiltración oclusal (MO) y la microfiltración cervical (MC) se clasificaron dentro de una de las 5 categorías de profundidad. Se calcularon las pruebas ANOVA y Chi-cuadrado (p<0,05). Resultados: La MO y MC se distribuyeron de manera similar en los subgrupos (p> 0,05). Todas las muestras del Grupo C con lesiones cariosas presentaron algún grado de microfiltración. Sin embargo, no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre grupos y dentro de cada grupo (p>0,05). Conclusión: Los dientes restaurados con RC después de SRCT-S usando hidróxido de calcio como material de revestimiento parecen exhibir una mayor microfiltración que aquellos restaurados usando ionómero de vidrio o AU solo. Se necesita más investigación clínica para profundizar estos hallazgos. Relevancia clínica: la aplicación de hidróxido de calcio como revestimiento debajo de una resina compuesta puede reducir la longevidad de una restauración después de realizar la eliminación selectiva o parcial de los tejidos cariados. Los médicos deberían reconsiderar la necesidad de usar hidróxido de calcio para esta aplicación, aunque no haya evidencia clínica.

RESUMO

Detection of proximal carious lesions involves the combination of clinical and radiographic methods, both with inherent difficulties. The present cross-sectional study is aimed at estimating the prevalence of cavitation in proximal carious lesions, based on a direct clinical assessment of previously detected radiographic lesions, in permanent molars and premolars. Proximal dental surfaces were radiographically evaluated using the ADA coding system and cavitation was determined through clinical visual examination of the surfaces after separation with elastomeric bands. One-hundred and twenty-six patients attending the dental clinics at the University of Talca were examined, comprising 508 proximal surfaces with radiographic codes ranging from E1 to D3. Two examiners were trained and calibrated for radiographic and clinical detection of proximal lesions. Most participants were females (61.9%). The age mean of participants was 28.7 (0.8) years old. A total of 22.2% of the examined surfaces were cavitated. Only few lesions coded as E1 (n = 4; 2.1%) and E2 (n = 9; 9.8%) were cavitated. Fifty D1 (35.5%) and 22 D2 (41.5%) lesions were cavitated after separation. Most lesions coded as D3 (n = 28; 84.8%) were cavitated. The multilevel binary regression model (p = 0.003) demonstrated that sex, age, jaw, tooth type, surface, and side were not associated with the likelihood of having proximal cavitation. Challenging conventional wisdom, most D1 and D2 lesions were not cavitated. Combining detection methods seems desirable to increase the accuracy in assessing approximal posterior lesions. The low proportion of cavitated lesions reinforces the idea of cautiously indicating invasive approaches for managing proximal carious lesions.

RESUMO

RESUMEN: La caries dental afecta alrededor del 70% de los niños y en Latinoamérica este problema es aún más complejo, dadas las barreras socioeconómicas y culturales que dificultan el acceso a la salud bucal, con grandes inequidades. Durante el año 2019, un panel de expertos de la Organización Europea para la Investigación en Caries (ORCA), la Federación Europea de Odontología Conservadora (EFCD) y la Federación Alemana de Odontología Conservadora (DGZ) elaboraron revisiones sistemáticas de la literatura y consensuaron recomendaciones basadas en evidencia destinadas a dentistas, mediante un taller en Berlín, Alemania, seguido de un trabajo de consenso mediante metodología e-Delphi. El propósito de este artículo es presentar las principales conclusiones del consenso adaptadas idiomáticamente al español y al contexto de Latinoamérica para permitir una mejor difusión del conocimiento generado y su aplicación en la práctica clínica. El artículo proporciona evidencia y recomendaciones clínicas para las intervenciones preventivas, no invasivas, microinvasivas, mínimamente invasivas e invasivas mejor sustentadas por la ciencia para el manejo de la enfermedad de caries y de las lesiones de caries en niños, con énfasis en la caries de la infancia temprana (CIT), dientes primarios y superficies oclusales de dientes permanentes.


ABSTRACT: Dental caries remains the most prevalent chronic disease in the world, affecting around 70% of children and posing a challenge for public health. Given the socioeconomic, cultural barriers and great inequalities that hinder access to oral health, in Latin America this problem is even more complex. During 2019, a panel of experts from the European Organization for Caries Research (ORCA), the European Federation for Conservative Dentistry (EFCD) and the German Federation for Conservative Dentistry (DGZ) prepared systematic reviews of the literature to reach consensus and generate evidence-based recommendations for dentists on how to manage caries in children. In a workshop in Berlin, Germany, followed by an e-Delphi methodology the experts published the consensus. The purpose of this article is to present the main conclusions of the consensus adapted idiomatically to Spanish and to the Latin American context to allow a better dissemination of the knowledge generated and facilitate its application in clinical practice. The article provides evidence and clinical recommendations for the best science-supported preventive, non-invasive, micro-invasive, minimally invasive, and invasive interventions for the management of caries disease and caries lesions in children, with an emphasis on early childhood caries (ECC), primary teeth and occlusal surfaces of permanent teeth.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Although there is some consensus that carious lesions in early stages (non-cavitated) could be treated using sealants, neither the type of materials nor their use in lesions with localized enamel breakdown (microcavitated) has been reported To compare the efficacy of resin or glass ionomer (GI) sealants in arresting microcavitated carious lesions (ICDAS 3) in first permanent molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 41 healthy 6 to 11-year-old children. At the baseline examination, each subject had at least one carious lesion classified as ICDAS 3 on the first permanent molar. One hundred fifty-one lesions were randomized into: Group 1: resin sealants (76 lesions) and Group 2: GI sealant (75 lesions). Carious lesion progression was assessed clinically and radiographically. Progression and retention failure were the outcomes used for group comparisons at p-value<0.05. RESULTS: After a two-year follow-up, only one lesion progressed to ICDAS 5, without statistically significant differences between the groups (χ2(1) = 0.90, p = 0.53). Radiographically, 100 lesions (98%) were arrested and 2 (2%) showed radiographic progression, without differences between groups (χ2(1) = 0.93, p = 0.93). At 2 years, complete retention was observed in 77% of the resin-based and in 83% of the GI sealants, without statistical differences between type of sealant (χ2(1) = 0.71, p = 0.48). The multilevel mixed model demonstrated that location and type of sealant did not affect retention rates (χ2(1) = 24,98, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Sealing ICDAS 3 carious lesions in permanent molars appears to be effective in arresting lesions after a two-year follow-up. Clinicaltrials.gov: RCTICDAS3/2015. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Minimally invasive approaches for carious lesion management have been promoted. Using sealants for the treatment of microcavitated lesions (ICDAS 3) appears predictable in the routine practice, without predilection for resin or glass ionomer materials. In addition to preserving tooth structure, this strategy reduces chair-time, dental fear and costs, and increases coverage to dental care.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Limited evidence suggests a putative inhibitory effect of dietary proteins on demineralization during the carious process. The aim was to explore a potential anticaries activity of the egg protein ovalbumin on a relevant in vitro approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Biofilms of Streptococcus mutans UA159 were formed on saliva-coated enamel and dentin bovine slabs. Biofilms were challenged with 10% sucrose followed by either a 200 µg/mL solution of ovalbumin or 1:10, 1:100, and 1:1000 (v/v) serial dilutions of that ovalbumin solution, for the entire length of the experiment. Biofilms exposed to 10% sucrose followed only by 0.9% NaCl served as caries-positive control. Once completed the experimental phase, biofilms were analyzed for biomass, viable bacteria, and polysaccharide formation. Final surface hardness (SH) was obtained to calculate %SH loss (demineralization). Two independent experiments were conducted, in triplicate. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and a post hoc test at the 95% confidence level. RESULTS: A reduction (p < 0.05) in biomass and extracellular polysaccharide formation, but not in the number of viable cells, was observed for both dental substrates. All ovalbumin concentrations tested showed lower demineralization than the positive control (p < 0.05), in a dose-dependent manner. The highest concentration showed a reduction in the %SH loss of about 30% for both enamel and dentin. CONCLUSION: Egg ovalbumin presented to sucrose-challenged biofilms of Streptococcus mutans seems to reduce cariogenicity of a biofilm-caries model. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Ovalbumin may counteract the cariogenic effect of sugars. If these findings are clinically confirmed, novel preventive approaches for caries are warranted.

RESUMO

Resulting in a high economic and biological cost, the traditional therapeutic approach to carious lesion management is still largely restorative. Minimally invasive (MI) treatment offers an attractive alternative to managing carious lesions in a more conservative and effective manner, resulting in enhanced preservation of tooth structure. The aim of this review was to summarize the evidence behind several MI alternatives for carious lesion management, including the use of sealants, infiltration, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), and selective carious tissue removal (e.g., indirect pulp capping, stepwise removal, or selective removal to soft dentine). Relevant literature was screened, and articles reporting randomized controlled trials or systematic reviews of strategies to manage non-cavitated or cavitated carious lesions in adults and children were included. Fifty six articles met the inclusion criteria. For non-cavitated lesions, the use of sealants is supported by strong evidence, while the evidence for infiltration of proximal lesions is moderate. For deep cavitated lesions, selective removal to soft dentin and/or stepwise excavation is supported by strong evidence. The use of the ART technique to restore cavitated lesions is also supported by strong evidence as a suitable strategy that has been used extensively in the literature concerning non-dental settings. Preservation of tooth structure through the use of MI treatment for both non-cavitated and cavitated lesions is supported by moderatestrong evidence, which supports the paradigm shift towards routine use of more conservative strategies in the treatment of carious lesions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Storage time may reduce the amount of soluble fluoride (F) in toothpastes. Although we previously studied the type and concentration of F in fresh samples of commercial Chilean toothpastes, their stability was not determined. AIM: To evaluate the stability of soluble F in Chilean toothpastes after 1 year of storage. DESIGN: All the toothpastes (n = 30) previously used were re-analyzed after 1 year of storage time at room temperature (±22°C). Total F (TF = soluble F + insoluble F) and total soluble F (TSF = F ion + MFP ion) were assessed using an ion-specific electrode, through a validated methodology. Data were expressed in ppm of F (mg F/kg). RESULTS: Mean (±SD; n = 30) TF and TSF concentrations after storage were 1049 ± 427 and 987 ± 411 ppm F, respectively. Five toothpastes showed between 30% and 50% of insoluble F, four of them formulated with MFP/calcium-based abrasive. In two products, there was a reduction in TSF below the evidence-based anticaries effectiveness threshold of 1000 ppm F. CONCLUSIONS: Although most of the toothpastes tested kept their original TSF content after 1 year of storage, some products evidenced an important reduction, which may compromise their anticaries efficacy. Reductions in TSF may be explained by an incorrect F salt-abrasive formulation.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study's purpose was to assess the cariogenicity of commercial bovine milk types in an experimental biofilm/caries model. METHODS: Enamel and dentin slabs were used to grow biofilms of Streptococcus mutans UA159. Slabs/biofilms were exposed three times per day to commercial skim, semi-skim, whole, whole lactose-free, and whole with 10 percent sucrose-added bovine milk and to 10 percent sucrose and 0.9 percent sodium chloride as positive and negative caries-control, respectively. Biofilms were analyzed for bacterial counts, biomass, proteins, and polysaccharide production. Slab's demineralization was assessed by loss of surface microhardness and the biofilm acidogenicity by medium pH. RESULTS: Only whole and whole lactose-free milk kept pH above the demineralization threshold, inducing the lowest demineralization in both enamel and dentin (P<.05). Skim and semi-skim milk induced similar demineralization to the sucrose control, albeit slightly lower for semi-skim milk (P<.05). Whole and whole lactose-free milk produced lower biomass and less insoluble polysaccharides than the other treatments in enamel and dentin (P<.05). Adding 10 percent sucrose to whole milk turned it as cariogenic as 10 percent sucrose solution. CONCLUSION: Bovine whole milk seemed less cariogenic than sucrose and the other commercial milk types, but not anticariogenic. Fat content in milk seemed to reduce cariogenicity of the fluid.
