    Social and Behavioural Risk Factors of Early Childhood Caries Among Children Aged 4–47 Months: A Cross-Sectional Study
    (Eurasian Society of Family Medicine, 2022) Baltaci E.; Ozveren N.; Kara S.B.
    Aim: This study aimed to investigate various risk factors for early childhood caries in a paediatric population in Edirne, Turkey. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1197 children aged 4–47 months old who visited family health centres for routine control. Questionnaires were used to collect data on parental-and pediatric-related variables potentially associated with early childhood caries. Oral hygiene was scored using the Visual Plaque Index, and decayed teeth, missing teeth, filled surfaces and carious teeth were recorded. We evaluated risk factors for early childhood caries using a hierarchical regression analysis model. Results: Of the 1197 children, 219 (18.3%) had dental caries. The mean age of the children in the caries group was 33±7 months old, and the mean filled surfaces and carious teeth values were 4.84±3.49 and 8.50±8.30, respectively. Younger age at the time of first tooth eruption, current height percentile higher than 96, poor oral hygiene, older age, having siblings, and paternal age younger than 30 years old at the time of the child’s birth were associated with an increased risk of early childhood caries. Conclusion: Prevention policies on caries among young children should focus on the first years of a child's life. Non-dental healthcare professionals may play an important role in being the first contact with parents in the healthcare system for anticipatory guidance. © 2022, Eurasian Society of Family Medicine.

    Temperature changes and thermo-light polymerization efficacy of two LED curing lights and 445-nm diode laser on glass carbomer material
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Sesen Uslu Y.; Ozveren N.; Donmez N.; Ulukapı H.
    Purpose: To evaluate thermo-light polymerization efficacy on the Vickers microhardness (VH) of a glass carbomer material (GCP) and on temperature changes (?T) using a diode laser (445 nm, DL) and two light-emitting diode (LED) units. Methods: Fifty-four GCP samples (2 × 8 mm) were prepared and exposed to three polymerization units: GCP CarboLED (G1), 3 M Elipar™ DeepCure-S (G2), and 445-nm SIRO Laser Blue (G3). A K-type thermo-couple was used to measure ?T. After 24 h, VH values were measured, and surface changes were evaluated. The data were analysed by t test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Welch ANOVA, and Tamhane post hoc tests (p < 0.05). Results: Both ?T and VH measurements were evaluated; G1 showed significantly lower temperature increase values and lower VH values than the other groups (p < 0.001), but no significant difference was observed between G2 and G3(p > 0.05). There were no alterations in surface morphology or chemical composition of GCP after laser treatment. Conclusion: 3 M Elipar and 445-nm DL applications yielded higher VH compared to GCP CarboLED, but with higher temperature increases. Application of 445 nm DL has the advantage of causing no difference between top and bottom VH values. Clinical significance. Our data reveal that heat application with any one of these three devices was safe for all treatment groups without causing pulp damage. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
