Abstract

Background: Water fluoridation (WF) has been a national caries prevention program in Malaysia since 1972. However, between July 2012 and December 2013, WF was discontinued in Pahang. This study aimed to compare caries prevalence and mean caries experience among Malaysian children in WF and WF-ceased areas and determine its associated risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 12-year-old schoolchildren in two Malaysian states: Pahang (WF-ceased) and Perak (WF-continued). Dental caries was examined using ICDAS criteria, and a questionnaire was used to collect relevant data. Associations between independent variables and dental caries were analyzed by simple logistic regression and general linear model analyses. Results: Dental caries (D4-6MFT) was significantly higher among children in WF-ceased areas than in communities where WF continued. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that exposure to WF remains a strong predictor of low caries experience among the study population. Moreover, children with irregular toothbrushing frequency before sleep and whose parents have lower educational attainment are associated with higher caries experience. Conclusion: Caries prevalence and mean caries experience were significantly higher among children in WF-ceased areas than in communities where WF continued. Multivariate analysis revealed that several factors were associated with caries experience.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: The PUFA Index and pufa are used to measure the severity of dental and oral conditionwhich are not commonly used due to its novelty, and this index can be used to measure untreated dental caries7 and caries activity. The aims of study are to assess the severity of untreated caries in children’s deciduous and permanent teeth by using the PUFA and pufa index. Methods: An observational study using a cross-sectional study design was conducted among children who lived in Puteran village in Pager Ageung district, Tasikmalaya Regent, West Java, Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used, and the children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were invited to participate in the study. Severity of caries was assessed using the pufa and PUFA index for deciduous and permanent teeth, respectively. Severity of caries data were analysed using formulas for pufa and PUFA index. Results: A total of 206 children participated in the study. The PUFA assessment showed the severity of caries was high in the deciduous dentition with pufa index of 3.5 with SD 1,9-3,6 However, the PUFA assessment showed a relatively lower severity of caries in permanent teeth, with index PUFA of 0.5 with SD 1,9-3,6. The severity of caries was higher in the maxillary than the mandibular teeth in deciduous teeth. On the other hand, the severity of caries was higher in the mandibular than maxillary teeth in the permanent teeth. Conclusions: Each child aged 6 and 12 years in Puteran village had severe untreated caries in one permanent tooth and severe untreated caries in 3 to 4 of deciduous teeth. The findings of the study will be used to develop caries prevention and oral health promotion programs.KEYWORDS Caries, Severity, Deciduous, Permanent, teeth, PUFA, PUFA index, children
