Root Caries Prevalence in Black and White North Carolina Adults over Age 65
The baseline root caries prevalence of 809 dentate black and white home-dwelling North Carolinians over age 65 was determined along with the collection of a large number of demographic and behavioral, clinical, and microbiological variables in the longitudinal Piedmont over-age-65 Dental Study. In comparison to other studies of older adults, the prevalence of decayed-filled root surfaces (DFRS) was low, fewer than 2.0 DFRS in whites, and signific…
University of North Carolina Caries Risk Assessment Study. III. Multiple Factors in Caries Prevalence
The baseline caries experienced of approximately 5,000 children in South Carolina and Maine was used as the dependent variable in caries risk assessment analyses. Clinical, microbiologic, and demographic factors served as independent variables in a multivariate relationship to caries through regression and discriminant function analyses. Four factors--number of dental visits by the child in the past year, presence of white spot lesions, and both …
Dental Treatment Needs in an Elderly Population
A random sample of 1,019 adults 65 years of age and older, living in their own homes, consented to a clinical dental examination and an interview. Eight hundred nine subjects were dentate and 210 were edentulous. Each dentate person was examined for caries and periodontal conditions, as well as a separate determination of restorative and extraction treatment needs. Most people in this study lacked restorative treatment needs of any kind. Blacks r…
Examiner Agreement Between Hygienists and Dentists for Caries Prevalence Examinations
Dentists have been used as examiners in caries prevalence examinations almost exclusively. Only rarely have dental hygienists been reported as examiners in these types of studies. This article describes the degree of agreement for prevalence data (DMFT, dmft) and specific caries prediction information collected by hygienist-screeners and dentist-examiners. A total of 5,233 first- and fifth-grade children were screened by hygienist-screeners using…
The University of North Carolina Caries Risk Assessment Study. II. Baseline Caries Prevalence
Baseline clinical dental examinations were conducted on 5,233 children in grades 1 or 5 from the areas surrounding Aiken, SC, and Portland, ME, as part of a longitudinal study being conducted to predict children at high risk to dental caries. Mean caries levels in the Aiken area were nearly twice those of the Portland area. Black children experienced slightly more disease than whites. In addition to lower levels of caries experience, Portland chi…
The University of North Carolina Caries Risk Assessment Study I
This article presents the rationale and content of a current study that seeks to improve methods to identify children at high risk to dental caries. It summarizes the results of the development of a 12-factor, preliminary caries prediction model based on data derived from the National Preventive Demonstration Program. Despite data limitations, the model produced a sensitivity of .5 and specificity of .8 for four-year caries increment prediction i…
Caries and Treatment Patterns in Children Related to School Lunch Program Eligibility
This article presents the caries prevalence and treatment patterns of children relative to a classification of family economic status, based on the child's eligibility for the free or reduced‐cost school lunch program. Dental caries prevalence is reported for children aged 8–11 years at the beginning of a longitudinal clinical trial in the nonfluoridated city of Tampa, Florida. These children were placed into one of three school lunch subsidy cat…
Recent Dental Caries and Treatment Patterns in US Children
This report presents dental caries and treatment patterns found in a longitudinal study of US children between 1978 and 1982 who were geographically dispersed across several fluoridated and nonfluoridated sites. The analyses include first- and fifth-grade children examined annually for four years in the National Preventive Dentistry Demonstration Program and who did not receive effective preventive procedures. The results indicate that in associa…
Operation of the National Preventive Dentistry Demonstration Program
Operation of large-scale, multiple-site demonstration programs is an infrequent activity, one for which most investigators have had little previous experience. The success of a demonstration program, however, often rests on operational aspects. Following the completion of a major demonstration, the writers discuss the design of their program, the problems they encountered in its operation, and the aspects they would change in future demonstration…
Effect of Secular Decline in Caries on the Evaluation of Preventive Dentistry Demonstrations
Studies of dental preventive interventions often do not incorporate a concurrent, longitudinal control group in their study design. The existence of a secular decline in dental caries during the conduct of these studies may result in an overstatement of the effectiveness of the preventive intervention. Results of a recent large caries preventive study are analyzed using both a concurrent, longitudinal control group and an historical comparison gr…
A Comparison of the Effectiveness of the “Toothkeeper’ and a Traditional Dental Health Education Program
A study was made of the effectiveness of two dental health education programs in an elementary school in Flint, Michigan. Following stratification by grades, random assignments of students were made by classrooms to either the Toothkeeper group or a "Traditional" group. No control groups were employed. Separate in-service training workshops were attended by the classroom teachers according to the education program to which they had been randomly …
