  1. University of Aden Faculty of Dentistry Department of Conservative Dentistry May.2010 Prevalence of Dental Caries in Patient Attended the Conservative Clinic. March – May 2010

  2. Prevalence of Dental Caries in Patient Attending Conservative Clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry.. Supervised by : Asso.Prof.Dr. NaydaNasco Dr. Marwan A. Wahab Al - Tamimi Dr. Hamed Mohammad Al - Haddad Prepared by: Halah Al Farra Samah Abdul Rhim Alaa Mohammad HebaFekri NagweenBadr AzalFadel Mohammad Najeeb Abeer Jamal

  3. Introduction .. Dental Caries .. “a disease process resulting in the demineralization of dental hard tissues by microbial activity”. • The most spread disease in humans, with a mean prevalence of 90 %. • Responsible for around 40 to 45 % of all lost teeth.

  4. Dental caries begins at a very early age. • Other Complications : • Loss of chewing capacity • Psychological disturbances • Aesthetical problems

  5. Dental Caries prevalence studies conducted in developed countries showed a decrease in the frequency and severity of disease ..

  6. However, it is considered to exist a bio morbidity in the distribution of the disease, at different human groups due to social differences.

  7. ETIOLOGY of DENTAL CARIES Bacteria Tooth Time • Diet

  8. Other Factors … • oral hygiene • frequent consumption of carbohydrates • previous experience of caries, • severity of the lesions

  9. age, • characteristics of the saliva, • inexistence fluoride therapies, • socio-economic factors . • and others...

  10. In respect to the bad oral hygiene numerous studies have shown that this is a significant risk factor in the incidence of dental caries and in its prevalence . Deficiencies in Oral Hygiene accumulation of dental plaque reducing the clearing of acids formed by microorganisms facilitate demineralization of the hard tooth tissues increase of the caries risk prevent remineralization of demineralized surfaces

  11. Aims of the Study • Determine the prevalence of dental caries in patient attended the Conservative Clinic of Aden Faculty of Dentistry. • Determine the severity of dental caries in patient attended the Conservative Clinic of Aden Faculty of Dentistry.

  12. To establish a relationship between the prevalence of dental caries, gender and age. • To establish a relationship between the severity of dental caries and oral hygiene.

  13. Materials and Methods Type of study : Observational Retrospective ..

  14. Universe : Total number (364) of dental sheets of patients From March to May 2010 • some of the sheets were excluded from the study due to the lack or not well understandable information .

  15. The prevalence of dental caries was determined by using DMFT index , in which : • D = Decayed .. • M = Missing .. • F = Filled .. • T = Tooth .. Excluded from this study : The third molar (if present) . Primary teeth Teeth that were lost by causes other than caries .

  16. Severity of cariouslesionsaccordingtoGRIMEP • Interpretation : • PuntuationDegree of severity • 0 Healthy • 1 – 2 Low • 3 - 5 Moderate •  6High

  17. Results and Discussion of the Study

  18. Distribution of patients attended at the Conservative Clinic according to age and gender

  19. DMFT index according to gender and group of age The DMFT index at age 12 in 1990 was 3.1.

  20. DMFT index according to gender and group of age

  21. Relative contribution of the components to the total index • D = Decayed .. • M = Missing .. • F = Filled ..

  22. Relative contribution of the components to the total index in patients more than 60 years old

  23. Distribution of patients according to oral hygiene and gender

  24. Severity of the carious lesion

  25. Carious severity and oral hygiene GOOD BAD

  26. Conclusions of Our Study Dental careis showed a high prevalence in this group of patients The highest value of DMFT index was observed in patients with 60 years old and more Females were more affected than males 4. Moderate severity of carious lesions was found in this study 5. Pateints with bad oral hygiene developed highest severity of dental careis

  27. Recommendations .. The very high level of caries prevalence and dental treatment needs revealed by the present study demonstrate the necessity to target oral health services towards community-directed prevention and oral health promotion, in order to improve the oral health status ofyemeni society .

  28. It is necessary for oral health professionals to recognize the significance and importance of preventive activities. An organized intervention, leading towards improving dental status through increasing the population’s knowledge, attitude, and behavior to dental care is recommended.

  29. Special THANKS for … Our Group would Like to Express the deepest gratitude and appreciation toward Prof.Dr. Renee Martinez .
