Abstract
Objective The prevalence of dental caries among children in Indonesia remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to provide an updated assessment of this prevalence while also investigating the influence of patient characteristics and methodological factors. Design We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis, including searches of PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase from inception to August 24, 2023. We included 8840 participants in 27 studies reporting the prevalence of dental caries among Indonesian children. Results The overall prevalence of dental caries was 76 % (95 % confidence interval: 71%-81 %). Studies in which decay-missing-filled teeth (DMFT) criteria were used to diagnose dental caries were significantly more prevalent than studies using non-DMFT criteria (78 % vs. 64 %, P < 0.05). No significant moderators were identified for the study subgroup based on study origin (Jakarta vs. non-Jakarta) or comorbidity status (comorbidity vs. no comorbidity). Owing to incomplete reporting of variables, metaregression analysis could not be conducted for continuous variables, such as age and male percentage. Conclusions The prevalence of dental caries among Indonesian children remains notably high, showing consistency across Jakarta-based studies and non-Jakarta studies. Initiating dental caries prevention and health promotion campaigns is imperative, focusing on the critical importance of early detection.

Abstract
Introduction Dental caries is a site-specific, multifactorial chronic disease affected globally. The prevalence of dental caries is strongly associated with social and economic disadvantage, and also the susceptibility of children to dental caries. Dental caries prevention can be achieved with topical fluoride agents. Topical fluoride promotes the remineralization of early carious lesions and reduces the demineralization of healthy enamel. Aim The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and sodium fluoride varnish (FV) in preventing new carious lesions in preschoolers. Materials and methods This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 285 children aged 3-6 years. Children were randomly allocated into three groups namely, group I-deionized distilled water (DIW), group II-sodium FV, and group III-SDF. The biannual application was performed at an interval of 6 months. New carious lesions were recorded using defs and International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS II) under LED magnifying loupes. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied and tabulated using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23.0 software. Result There was a significant difference seen in the mean values of group III (SDF) when compared with group II (FV) and also between group III (SDF) and group I (DIW) when defs index was used. The mean score of ICDAS II after 12 months in group I (DIW) was -1.171, group II (FV) was -0.690, and group III (SDF) was -0.374. Conclusion silver diamine fluoride (SDF) was found to be most effective in preventing dental caries and also it appears to be the most cost-saving fluoride therapy.

Abstract
Premature loss of primary anterior teeth in deciduous arches is a controversial topic in the literature, especially due to the lack of robust scientific evidence regarding the types and magnitudes of the consequences involved. Morphological, functional, and psychosocial problems may arise from untreated premature loss of primary incisors and canines. The morphological problems include impaction and eruption disturbances of permanent successors; inclination and/or extrusion of adjacent and antagonist teeth, respectively; midline deviation; and crowding. Functional complications, such as speech disorders, aesthetic problems, and development of non-nutritive habits may occur, resulting in psychosocial implications, including a decrease in self-esteem, and even being targeted for bullying. The current critical review aimed to present and discuss the evidence available in the literature about the etiology, characteristics, implications and interventions resulting from the premature loss of primary anterior teeth. It is of utmost importance that future studies be developed to support the clinical decisions made by dental professionals on this topic.

Abstract
In developing countries, the prevalence of dental caries in children remains high, which means that implementing a simple and convenient classification is critical. The classification needs to be evidence-based and needs to reflect tooth-level information. In this study, the prevalence of dental caries in the primary dentition of 352 Myanmar school children at the ages of 5, 6, and 7 was analyzed at the tooth level to clarify the underlying data structure of the patterns of dental caries in the population. Ninety-three percent of subjects had caries in primary dentition and the mean number of decayed teeth in primary dentition was 7.54 ± 4.82. Based on the item response theory analysis, mixed-effect modeling, and Bayesian network analysis, we proposed the following classification: Group 1: No dental caries; Group 2: Dental caries in molar teeth or dental caries in maxillary anterior teeth; Group 3: Dental caries in both molar and maxillary anterior teeth; Group 4: Dental carries in mandibular anterior teeth. Dental caries (dmft) in the groups was different between groups. The results of characteristics of tooth-level information and classification presented in this study may be a useful instrument for the analysis of the data of dental caries prevalence in primary dentition.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16162994. [PMID: 31434265 PMCID: PMC6720660 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16162994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2019] [Revised: 08/17/2019] [Accepted: 08/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background: Indonesia has the largest population of all countries in southeast Asia. However, little information is available on the oral health status of Indonesian children. The aims of this study were to assess dental caries and erosive tooth wear in 12-year-old children in Jakarta, Indonesia and to investigate the associated risk factors. Methods: Samples were selected using cluster sampling. Parents were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire regarding their oral health knowledge, demographic information, their child’s dietary habits, and oral health-related behaviors. Experience of caries and erosive tooth wear were recorded using the Decayed, Missing (due to caries), and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index, respectively. Results: Of 779 children invited, 696 participated in the survey. Of these, 61% had experienced caries, and the mean DMFT score was 1.58. Almost all decay was untreated. Children who were female, who had a high frequency of soft drink intake, and whose father’s educational level was low were more likely to have dental caries. Most children had at least one lesion of erosive tooth wear. Children whose mother’s educational level was low were more likely to have erosive tooth wear. Conclusions: The prevalence of dental caries and erosive tooth wear was high in 12-year-old children in Jakarta. Their dietary habits and parental level of education were associated with the presence of these dental conditions.
