Item type:Publication, Results of National Oral Health Survey, Mongolia(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2018-03-25); ; ; ; Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the status of oral health in Mongolia. Methods: The studied population was 1754 subjects who were selected from 4 age groups and from 11 regions of Mongolia. We collected data about dentition, gingival health, dental calculus, intervention urgency and denture usage. Results: The prevalence of dental caries and mean Decayed, Missed, Filled permanent teeth (DMFt)/ decayed, missed, filled primary teeth (dmft) were 82.9% and 5.9±4.6 among 5 year olds, 80.9% and 2.5±2.2 among 12 year olds, 97.8% and 9.5±5.2 among 35-44 year olds, 99.1% and 19.9±8.1 among 65-74 year olds (p<0.001). The prevalence of gingivitis was 4.6% , 21.2% , 36.3% , 11.5% and of calculus 0.5% , 7.1% , 53.1%, 24.2% , respectively above groups. The status of intervention urgency was 16.4%, 21.4% , 43.6% , 37.3% in the prompt treatment and 5.9%, 4.2% , 7.0% , 0.7% in immediate treatment recommended. The percent of people with removable denture among 65-74 year olds was higher than among 35-44 year olds. Conclusion: The prevalence of dental caries and their complications were in the high in Mongolia, and most of elderly people did not have their own natural teeth. These data indicate that effort to improve oral hygiene and prevent tooth decay are greatly needed throughout Mongolia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Relationship between Masticatory Performance and Dental Caries Status in 4-Year-Old Children(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2019-03-31); ; ; ; 好秀 岡崎Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluate the relationship between masticatory performance and dental caries in 4-year-old children. Methods: A total of 100 4-year-old children of both genders were selected from 3 kindergartens. The data collected included the masticatory performance test, oral examination and sociodemographic data including aspects of their dental care and eating habits. Masticatory performance was assessed using chewing gum. Participants chewed a piece of gum for 3 minutes and then it was weighed, recognizing that during mastication the soluble part of the gum dissolves reducing its weight. The results were compared among the participants examining the potential factors affecting mastication. Results: The mean the number of decayed filled teeth was 3.8 teeth. Chewed gum mean weight was 0.57 g ±0.49 (boys vs. girls, 0.58±0.03 vs. 0.57±0.05 g, NS). There was a positive correlation between gum weight and decayed teeth (r=.57, p<.0001). Linear regression showed that gum weight increased by 0.005 g for every decayed tooth (p<.0001). Conclusion: A significant positive correlation was observed between masticatory performance and the number of decayed teeth. Our linear regression results clearly showed that number of decayed teeth was associated with decreased masticatory performance as accessed by our gum weighing method.
