The project was carried out to examine the fluoride concentration of the natural water from northern provinces. The result of research will be applied on the Oro-dental Health care of children and community. 179 samples of water from 10 northern provinces were tested. The result of research showed that in almost of sources of water (97.8%) there is not enough fluoride. So the use of fluoride to prevent dental carries for children and community is necessary and urgent.

The program of school-based oral care has been organised at all 25 primary and secondary schools of Gia Loc district since 1989/1990 to prevent oral diseases that include gingivitis. After 8 years, the ratio of children who affected by gingivitis reduced clearly. The rate of school pupils who have acceptable gingival health increased from 8.42% to 94.21%. This result confirms that school-based oral preventive activities are neccesary and suitable. Particularly, in 1997/1998 we reaches WHO and EEC countries’s goal as well as Vietnam’s goal for the year of 2010

At Ly Thuong Kiet primary school in Hanoi, in 42 school children aged from 8-11 years old, an odonto-stomatology investigation was performed. Results showed that: tooth caries were usually detected in almost subjects with an equal incidence in boys and girls. Milk teeth caries had got high incidence in an average of 2.6 caries for each subject. This incidence was lower for permanent teeth – average 0.5 for each. The results found an significant improvement of odonto-stomatological health in comparing with the last second investigation at national level.

ABSTRACT This hospital-based cross-sectional study aimed at determining frequency and risk indicators/predictors of periodontitis in a sample of Egyptian adult population and to develop a prediction equation for classifying periodontal diseases. Seven hundred and fifty subjects were consecutively recruited from outpatient Diagnostic Center, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. Validated oral health questionnaire for adults and oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire were filled by all patients. Diagnosis was made based on measurements of clinical periodontal parameters including plaque index, bleeding on probing, pocket depth, clinical attachment level and gingival recession. Radiographic examination was performed using digital periapical radiographs. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to determine significant predictors of periodontal diseases and discriminant analysis was performed to predict periodontal disease classification. Gingivitis was the most frequent periodontal disease (39.6%) followed by periodontitis stage I (38%), stage II (20.4%), stage III (1.6%) and stage IV (0.4%). The lowest OHIP-14 scores were in patients with periodontitis stages III and IV. Multivariate analysis showed that education (p < 0.001), OHIP-14 score (p = 0.003), non-smoking (p = 0.001) and non-alcohol drinking (p = 0.021) were significant negative predictors, while never to clean the teeth (p <0.001) and cleaning the teeth once a month (p < 0.001) were significant positive predictors of periodontal disease. Periodontitis stages III and IV were the least frequent on a sample of Egyptian adult patients. Education, frequency of teeth cleaning, smoking, alcohol drinking and OHIP-14 scores were significant predictors of periodontal disease. Through discriminant analysis this study could classify patients into different periodontal diseases with an overall correct prediction of 99.2%.

Background and Objectives: Periodontitis and Diabetes Mellitus are both inflammatory conditions that trigger the host response in a similar manner. The effect of uncontrolled diabetes on the progression of periodontitis, as well as the effect of periodontal health on the glycemic control of a patient, have been well documented. The need to include oral health in the management of a diabetic patient is deemed necessary. The objective of this study is to determine the awareness of the interrelationship between diabetes and periodontal disease among Endocrinologists in the Philippines and to determine whether management of a diabetic patient includes measures on maintaining periodontal health. Methodology: A 20-item self-administered survey questionnaire was distributed to endocrinologists registered in the Philippine Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (PSEDM) Seminar and General Assembly held on September 5-6, 2015 at Sofitel Manila, Pasay City. The questionnaire was comprised of eight multiple choice and 12 yes-no questions, which combined queries on demographics, associations between diabetes and periodontitis as well as patient management. Results: Most of the endocrinologists answered that tooth brushing and flossing should be performed at a minimum of twice a day (96.6%) and that frequency of dental visits should be at least every six months (71.3%). Although most endocrinologists claimed to be aware of the manifestations of gingivitis and periodontitis, only 3.6% accurately identified the symptoms of gingivitis and 3% accurately identified the symptoms of periodontitis. Majority (79.2%) were aware that periodontal disease affects Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and that DM is a risk factor for Periodontitis (95.9%). However, only 38.6% noted periodontitis as one of the complications of diabetes. More than half of the respondents refer their patients to dentists but less than half educate their patients on oral health. Conclusion More than 90% of the Endocrinologists are aware of the bidirectional relationship of Periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus but do not clearly know the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis. In addition, the awareness is not translated to the management of diabetic patients.
