تعتبر النخور السنية من أكثر الأمراض المزمنة شيوعاً وانتشاراً, حيث تسهم دراسة انتشار النخر السني في مجموعة سكانية محددة في وضع الخطط اللازمة لمعالجته والوقاية منه. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحديد نسبة انتشار وشدة النخر السني عند الأطفال في عمر13-15سنة في مدينة اللاذقية, وإلى دراسة تأثير بعض العوامل المؤثرة في شدة النخر عند هؤلاء الأطفال. ضمنت العينة 1680 طفل وطفلة. تم تقسيم الأطفال إلى أربع مجموعات بالاعتماد على درجة شدة النخر السني لديهم, جرى تحديد بعض العوامل التي تؤثر في النخر السني (نوع الرضاعة, مستوى العناية بالصحة الفموية, المستوى الاجتماعي والاقتصادي للأهل). أظهر تحليل البيانات التي تم جمعها أن نسبة انتشار النخر السني عند هذه العينة بلغ1.92 ±67.1%, قيمة مشعر شدة النخرDMFT لكل طفل 2.35. كما أظهرت الدراسة علاقة بعض العوامل مع شدة النخر السني: عامل الرضاعة الاصطناعية, عامل العناية بالصحة الفموية وعامل المستوى الاجتماعي والاقتصادي للأهل حيث تميزت بفروق جوهرية ذات دلالة إحصائية بين مجموعات الدراسة.
As dental caries are among the most common chronic diseases, the study of their prevalence and severity in a specific population area can contribute to constructing necessary plans for treatment and prevention. This study aimed to assess the rate of prevalence and severity of dental caries in 13 -15 years – old children in Lattakia City and to study the effects of the different factors and their relation to the grade of the severity of the dental caries. The study was conducted on 1680 children. The sample was divided into four main groups, depending on the grade of severity of the dental caries. The analysis of data showed that the prevalence of dental caries was 67.1±1.92% and the DMFT value was 2.35. The study also showed that mother feeding, the factor of dental care and socioeconomical factors are important in all groups

The number of children with heart diseases in the Syrian society is constantly
growing , In view of the importance of oral health and oral manifestations to this group of patients and the
difficulties which dentists face in treating them , it is ve
ry important to study oral health and the dental
caries prevalence. This study seeks to determine the prevalence of dental caries and to evaluate previous
dental treatment in children with heart diseases in Damascus hospitals.
Dental caries is considered as one of the most common chronic diseases. The study of prevalence and severity of dental caries conducted in a specific geographic area contributes in constructing necessary plans for treatment and prevention. Aims
of this study are to determine the prevalence and severity of early-childhood caries and to define risk factors associated with ECC among Lattakia/ Syrian preschool children. The sample comprised 909 children were divided into three age groups 3-4-5 years. A questionnaire was distributed and contained information on oral feeding habits, socio-economic status and educational Status of the mother. The results, and data analysis showed that the prevalence of ECC for pre-school children was 84.8%, the mean dmft and dmfs score in the group was in 3 years ( 4.09 (5.22=+6.22 & 2.85+=respectively. In 4 years3.43+=4.12) &7.29 += 8.25 ) .In 5 years (4.93 +=4.42 & (11.962+=10.157.
The value of the significant caries index SIC was 9.02. We obtained on 492 questionnaire which was observed a significant relationship between ECC and age of children , socio-economic status of the family, the educational status of the mother, feeding habits ( quantity of sweet consumption per day- time of sweet consumed between meals, using baby bottle ). However, breastfeeding and gender didn't have significant effect
Background and Aim: Dental caries and malocclusion are among the most common
chronic dental diseases in childhood. The aim of present study was to assess the severity of
dental caries and orthodontic treatment needs and the relation between them in
a sample of
10- to 12-year-old Damascus schoolchildren.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1428 children (677 males and 751
females), all were in the late mixed dentitions and orthodontically untreated. Their dental
health status was assessed using DMFT index and need for orthodontic treatment by the
dental health component of the index of orthodontic treatment need (DHC-IOTN).
Analytical statistics were calculated using 2-sample t-test, Chi-square, One-way ANOVA
and Bonferroni tests. All the results were judged at a 95% confidence level.
Results: The overall mean of DMFT was 4.4±3.2 without significant differences
between males and females (p=0.705). Extreme and severe need for orthodontic treatment
(grades 4 and 5 of IOTN) was registered in 341 subjects (23.88%), without significant
differences between males and females (p=0.710). The severity of dental caries was
significantly greater among patients with more severe grades of orthodontic treatment
need.
Conclusions: The DHC-IOTN index is reliable and userfriendly, which can be used
for orthodontic epidemiological studies. There is significant relation between higher
DMFT index and orthodontic treatment need. Therefore, early treatment and preventive
national programmes is strongly advised.
Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and severity of ECC in 3 to 5 -year children in Lattakia and the correlation of saliva pH, buffer capacity and salivary flow rate with the dental caries. Materials and methods: An epidemiological
study of N = 400 children was conducted to determine the prevalence of ECC in Lattakia’s kindergartens and the association between child's gender, age and caries.The salivary tests for N = 40 children, the mean number of teeth, carious surfaces, restored and lost due to caries were measured. Results: The results indicated a high prevalence of Ecc among children (69.8%) We did not find significant differences in dmft, dmfs between children according to gender or age. The adjusted ability of saliva was high for 65% and medium for 35%. On the other hand, it was found that there is an inverse correlation between saliva pH and the studied indicators.
Aim of Study: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of some oral habits (mouth
breathing, infantile swallowing, digit sucking) among school children in Lattakia city.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 825 childr
en aged
(8-12) years, from school children in Lattakia city. Information on oral habits was obtained
from the parents through a specially designed questionnaire. A clinical evaluation was also
done.
Results:.The results showed that the percentage of prevalence of oral habits in Lattakia
school children was 36.4% , and mouth breathing (22.8%) which was most commonly seen
followed by infantile swallowing (17.3%). Digit sucking was a less common habit seen in
only 5.8% .There were no differences in the prevalence of these habits between boys and
girls and there were no significant differences according to age .
Conclusions: The study showed high prevalence of these oral habits. This highlighted a
lack of awareness and care by families related to their children’s oral health as well as the
need to improve public health plans for orthodontic prevention so that future occurrence of
malocclusion can be avoided.
