Associations of fluoride intake with children's cortical bone mineral and strength measures at age 11
In this cohort of 11-year-old children, mostly living in optimally fluoridated areas, life-long fluoride intakes from combined sources were weakly associated with tibia and radius cortical pQCT measures
The relationships between fluoride intake levels and fluorosis of late‐erupting permanent teeth
Our results clearly show that dental fluorosis prevalence is closely related to fluoride intake levels and that teeth have greater susceptibility to fluoride intake during certain age intervals
Prevalence and incidence of early childhood caries among A frican‐ A merican children in A labama
The majority of children developed caries during the 3-year follow-up, which is much higher than the 32 percent prevalence of caries among African-American children under age 6 years in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2002
Factors associated with surface‐level caries incidence in children aged 9 to 13
D2+ F incidence on first molar occlusal surfaces in these young adolescents was associated with prior caries experience on other teeth as well as prior evidence of a D1 lesion on the occlusal surface. More frequent tooth brushing was protective of sound surfaces, and fluoride in home tap water was also protective, but significantly more so for adolescents in low-income families
Examiner reliability of fluorosis scoring
Results suggest that interexaminer reliability is greater and fluorosis scores are higher when using photographic compared with clinical examinations
The associations between dietary intakes from 36 to 60 months of age and primary dentition non‐cavitated caries and cavitated caries
The results suggest that different food and beverage categories are associated with being in the d1 group compared with the cavitated caries groups. More frequent toothbrushing, greater milk consumption at meals, and avoiding presweetened cereal consumption at meals might reduce the risk of developing non-cavitated caries
Comparison of dental esthetic perceptions of young adolescents and their parents
Adolescents generally had less satisfaction with dental appearance and color, and were more concerned with tooth shape than were parents. For both parents and adolescents, decreased satisfaction was associated with the number of zones with definitive fluorosis
Relative validity of an FFQ for assessing dietary fluoride intakes of infants and young children living in Iowa
Objective To determine the relative validity of a quantitative FFQ in assessing dietary fluoride intakes using 3 d food and beverage diaries for reference. Design Parents were asked to complete questionnaires for the preceding week and diaries for 3 d for their children. Fluoride intakes were estimated from ‘selected’ foods and beverages for questionnaires and from ‘all foods and beverages’ for diaries. Data collected at 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36,…
Longitudinal associations between children's dental caries and risk factors
There were common caries-related factors for more new non-cavitated caries across the three exams, including less frequent 100 percent juice exposure, lower tooth brushing frequency and lower SES. Less frequent 100 percent juice exposures might be associated with higher exposures to several other cariogenic beverages
Fluoride content of solid foods impacts daily intake
Some children receive a substantial portion of dietary fluoride from solid foods
Amoxicillin use during early childhood and fluorosis of later developing tooth zones
Amoxicillin use during early childhood could be a risk factor in the etiology of fluorosis on late-erupting permanent tooth zones, but further research is needed
Considerations on Optimal Fluoride Intake Using Dental Fluorosis and Dental Caries Outcomes – A Longitudinal Study
Given the overlap among caries/fluorosis groups in mean fluoride intake and extreme variability in individual fluoride intakes, firmly recommending an "optimal" fluoride intake is problematic
An Investigation of Bottled Water Use and Caries in the Mixed Dentition
While bottled water users had significantly lower fluoride intakes, this study found no conclusive evidence of an association with increased caries. Further study is warranted, preferably using studies designed specifically to address this research question
Longitudinal Study of Non‐cavitated Carious Lesion Progression in the Primary Dentition
Non-cavitated smooth surface lesions rarely progressed in this age group, but nearly one-third of pit and fissure lesions progressed
Associations Between Dental Fluorosis of the Permanent and PrimarvJ Dentitions
Detection of primary tooth fluorosis in pre-school children should alert clinicians and parents to the high likelihood of subsequent fluorosis in the permanent dentition
Use of the Fluorosis Risk Index in a Cohort Study
The FRI has advantages for use in analytical epidemiologic studies of dental fluorosis. However, the population prevalence estimates vary, depending on the index and case definition used. Therefore, it is recommended that consideration be given to concurrent use of another index (i.e., TSIF, TF, Dean's) if prevalence estimates are an important study outcome
Patterns of Dietary Fluoride Supplement Use in Children from Birth to 96 Months of Age
Objective: This paper reports on fluoride supplement use from birth to age 96 months. Methods: As part of the Iowa Fluoride Study, questionnaires were mailed at 3 to 6– month intervals assessing use of supplements. Estimated fluoride intake from supplements was calculated as a daily fluoride intake in mg. Analyses include descriptive statistics of supplements use for individual periods, area-under-the-curve (AUC) for combined periods, and associa…
The Roles of Meal, Snack, and Daily Total Food and Beverage Exposures on Caries Experience in Young Children
Dietary methods used to investigate diet-caries relationships can influence the outcome. The cariogenicity of food, but not beverages, is associated with the timing of exposure
The Association Between Environmental Tobacco Smoke and Primary Tooth Caries
Environmental tobacco smoke was associated with an increased risk of caries among children
Seasonal Variation in Fluoride Intake
Fluoride intake from beverages for children aged 12-72 months is slightly higher in the summer and increases with mean monthly temperature. Fluoride intake from supplements and dentifrice did not change significantly with either season or temperature
Primary Tooth Fluorosis and Amoxicillin Use During Infancy
Fluoride exposure was the sole predictor of primary tooth fluorosis in a multivariate model. However, bivariate results suggest that amoxicillin could play a contributing role in the development of primary tooth fluorosis, especially for children exposed to lower levels of fluoride. An investigation of the relationship between amoxicillin intake and fluorosis of permanent teeth is warranted
Patterns of Fluoride Intake from 36 to 72 Months of Age
Daily mean fluoride intakes from single and combined sources are relatively stable from 36-72 months of age among these children
Is there a reliable and valid self-report measure of sexual behavior
