Do binge drinking adolescents have a greater number of traumatised teeth? A longitudinal study with 12-year-olds in Brazil.

BACKGROUND: Binge drinking has been linked to traumatic dental injury (TDI). Once drunk, adolescents are more prone to accidents, which may result in orofacial injury. AIM: This study evaluated the possible association of binge drinking with a number of traumatised teeth in a population of 12-year-old Brazilian adolescents in 2013 and 2015. DESIGN: This study was longitudinal, carried out with 588 adolescents at two moments, 2013 and 2015. TDI, overjet and lip protection were assessed by calibrated examiners. Binge drinking data were collected through the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Sociodemographic indicators were obtained through a questionnaire answered by the parents/guardians. The Poisson regression model with a random effects intercept was estimated. RESULTS: A higher prevalence of traumatised teeth was observed among adolescents who binge drink (IRR = 1.37; 95% CI: 1.05-1.80; p < .05). The prevalence was also significantly higher among adolescents in this age range with a ≥ 3-mm overjet and those with inadequate lip protection (IRR = 1.99; 95% CI: 1.44-2.76; p < .001 and IRR = 3.41; 95% CI: 2.57-4.53; p < .001, respectively). CONCLUSION: A greater number of traumatised teeth were found among adolescents who reported binge drinking and had severe overjet and inadequate lip coverage.

Spatial density of adolescents aged 14 years old, victims of dental: A longitudinal study.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Knowledge about the spatial density of the domiciles of dental trauma victims can assist in the identification of the most vulnerable areas and contribute to the planning of prevention, promotion, control, and treatment actions, focusing on the most affected areas. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial density of domiciles of 14-year-old adolescent victims of dental trauma, in the city of Diamantina, Brazil, after a two-year follow-up period. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This longitudinal study was carried out with 584 adolescents between 2013 and 2015. Dental trauma, overjet, and lip protection were assessed by two trained and calibrated examiners (K > 0.70). Information about binge drinking was collected among the adolescents through the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and sociodemographic indicators were obtained through a questionnaire answered by the caregivers of the adolescents. Spatial analyses were performed to evaluate the spatial density of adolescents with dental trauma and the independent variables of interest according to the domicile using Ripley's K function and the Kernel Map. RESULTS: Ripley's K function revealed spatial aggregation of the domiciles of adolescent victims of dental trauma in relation to males, binge drinking and overjet, with a confidence interval of 95%. The higher density of domiciles with adolescents with two or more traumatized teeth was found in the north-east region of the city. Boys were the most affected, their homes were located in the north, north-west, and south-east regions at baseline and follow-up. The largest density of domiciles of adolescents with overjet greater than 5 mm and inadequate lip protection was in the north-east region. Similar spatial distribution was identified for binge drinking for both years. CONCLUSION: The majority of adolescents with dental trauma lived in the north-east and south-east regions, characterized by high population density and greater social vulnerability.

Assessment of the Need for Dental Treatment Resulting From Dental Trauma in 12-Year-Old Brazilian Schoolchildren: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract Objective: To identify the need for restorative treatment in 12-year-old Brazilian schoolchildren with dental trauma and its association with clinical and socioeconomic factors. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional population-based study was carried out with sample composed of 588 12-year-old students from the city of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were collected from August to November 2016 through clinical examination, adopting the Andreasen classification and semi-structured questionnaire to verify the etiology and location of the accident that resulted in dental trauma. Statistical analysis included the frequency distribution and bi and multivariate analysis, with 5% significance level. Results: The presence of 219 traumatized teeth in 176 students was observed (29.9%). The main lesion was enamel fracture (41.4%), followed by enamel and dentin fracture (39.4%). The presence of restorative treatment was observed only in 11.5% of students. Fall (43.5%) was the most frequent etiology, followed by accidents on the streets (35.8%). Need for treatment was present in 53.4% of adolescents. Statistically significant association between males (p=0.010), severe overjet (p<0.0001) and inadequate lip protection (p<0.0001) and presence of dental trauma was observed. Maternal schooling over 8 years of study was statistically associated with need for restorative treatment (OR = 2.047; CI: 1.099-3.813; p=0.023). Conclusion: Prevalence of dental trauma, need for restorative treatment and number of adolescents with no access to restorative treatment in this study were high, point out that the health system is unable to satisfactorily prevent dental trauma and absorb all dental treatment demand resulting from dental trauma.

Correlates of binge drinking among Brazilian adolescents.

Adolescence is a vulnerable period for risk-taking tendencies, including binge drinking. The aim of this study was to examined the prevalence of binge drinking and its association with factors related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages by best friend, familial factors, socioeconomic status and religiosity. A Census of 633 students from public and private schools in Diamantina-MG was conducted. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-C (AUDIT-C) and, another on the consumption of alcohol by family and friends. Surveys inquiring about socioeconomic conditions were sent to parents/guardians. Descriptive and bivariate analyzes were performed (p < 0.05). The log-binomial model was used to calculate PR and 95% CI. The prevalence of binge drinking was 23.1%. The average age of onset of alcohol consumption was 10,8 years. Binge drinking was more prevalent among adolescents whose best friend [OR = 4.72 (95% CI 2.78-8.03)] and brother [PR = 1.46 (95% CI 1.10-1.92)] drink alcohol. Religiosity [PR = 0.40 (95% CI 0.27-0.62)] appeared as a possible protective factor. Our findings indicate that peer effects are important determinants of drinking and could be utilized as a potential target for interventions to reduce alcohol consumption rates.

Third molar removal and its impact on quality of life: systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the impact of third molar removal on patient's quality of life. METHODS: To address the study purpose, investigators designed and implemented a systematic review. The primary outcome variable was the quality of life after third molar extraction. An electronic search was conducted through March, 2017, on the PUBMED, Virtual Health Library (VHL), Web of Science, and OVID, to identify relevant literatures. Research studies (randomized or non-randomized clinical trials) were included that evaluated the quality of life in individuals before and after third molar extraction, using validated measures of oral health-related quality of life with quantitative approach, besides procedures performed under local anesthesia. The R software was used to measure the mean difference on the quality of life between the preoperative period and follow-up days. RESULTS: A total of 1141 studies were identified. Of this total, 13 articles were selected in the present systematic review, of which six studies were included in the meta-analysis. All of these 13 articles used the OHIP-14, and 4 of this 13 used OHQoLUK-16 to evaluate the quality of life. Regarding quality assessment, four of the 13 included studies in this review received a maximum score of 9 points, according to the Newcastle-Ottawa (NOS). The OHIP-14 mean score on the first postoperative day was 17.57 (95% CI 11.84-23.30, I2 = 96%) higher than the preoperative period. On the seventh postoperative day, the quality of life assessed by OHIP-14 got worse again. CONCLUSION: This systematic review revealed that the highest negative impact on quality of life of individuals submitted to third molar surgery was observed on the first postoperative day, decreasing over the follow-up period.

Traumatic dental injuries in Brazilian children and oral health-related quality of life.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Population-based studies that investigate the impact of TDI on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among school children and its association with socioeconomic factors are scarce and offer conflicting results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of TDI on OHRQoL among school children and its association with socioeconomic status. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 588 12-year-old children enrolled in public and private schools in the urban areas in the city of Diamantina (southeastern Brazil). Clinical examinations were performed for the diagnosis of traumatic dental injury based on Andreasen's classification. The Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14 ), which has been validated for the population in Brazil, was employed to evaluate oral health-related quality of life. Socioeconomic status and overjet were also analyzed. Statistical analysis involved the chi-square test and logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 29.4% of the students exhibited some type of trauma to at least one tooth. A negative impact on oral health-related quality of life was found in 53.1% of the sample. Traumatic dental injury was associated with a high impact on oral health-related quality of life [OR = 1.61 (95% CI: 1.08-2.39)] and overjet >3 mm [OR = 5.42 (95% CI: 3.66-8.02)]. However, no statistically significant associations were found between TDI and socioeconomic status. CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of traumatic dental injury was high among the children who participated in the study, and it was associated with a high impact on oral health-related quality of life as well as overjet >3 mm.

Resumo A adolescência é um período vulnerável da tendência em assumir riscos, incluindo consumo excessivo de álcool. Avaliou-se a prevalência de "binge drinking" e sua associação com o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas pelo melhor amigo, fatores familiares, condição socioeconômica e religiosidade. Foi conduzido um censo de 633 alunos de escolas públicas e privadas em Diamantina-MG. Os participantes preencheram o Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-C (AUDIT-C) e um questionário sobre o consumo de álcool por familiares e amigos. Questionários com perguntas sobre condições socioeconômicas foram enviados aos pais/responsáveis. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e bivariadas (p < 0,05). O modelo log-binomial foi usado para calcular RP e 95% IC. A prevalência de consumo excessivo de álcool foi de 23,1%. A idade média de início do consumo de álcool foi de 10,8 anos. O "binge drinking" foi mais prevalente entre adolescentes cujo melhor amigo [OR = 4,72 (95% IC 2,78-8,03)] e irmão [RP = 01.46 (IC 95% 1,10-1,92)] consumiam álcool. A religiosidade [RP = 0,40 (IC 95% 0,27-0,62)] apareceu como um possível fator de proteção. Os efeitos de pares são importantes determinantes do consumo de álcool e poderiam ser utilizados como um alvo potencial em intervenções para reduzir as taxas deste.

New evidence about the "dark side" of social cohesion in promoting binge drinking among adolescents.

Adolescence is characterized by heightened susceptibility to peer influence, which makes adolescents vulnerable to initiating or maintaining risky habits such as heavy drinking. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of social capital with longitudinal changes in the frequency of binge drinking among adolescents at public and private high schools in the city of Diamantina, Brazil. This longitudinal study used two waves of data collected when the adolescents were 12 and 13 years old. At the baseline assessment in 2013 a classroom survey was carried out with a representative sample of 588 students. In 2014, a follow-up survey was carried out with the same adolescents when they were aged 13 years. The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test-C (AUDIT C) was employed for the evaluation of alcohol intake. Our predictor variables included sociodemographic and economic characteristics (gender, type of school, mother's education, family income) and Social Capital. For evaluation of social capital, we used the Social Capital Questionnaire for Adolescent Students (SCQ-AS). Descriptive and bivariate analyzes were performed (p <0.05). The log-binomial model was used to calculate prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals. The two-tailed p value was set at <0.05. The prevalence of binge drinking in 2013 was 23.1% and in 2014 the prevalence had risen to 30.1%. Gender (PR 1.48; 95% CI 0.87-2.52) and socioeconomic status (type of school and mother's education) were not associated with the increase in the frequency of binge drinking. However, higher social capital was significantly associated with an increase in binge drinking by students. Adolescents who reported that they had an increase in social cohesion in the community/neighborhood subscale were 3.4 times more likely (95%CI 1.96-6.10) to binge drink themselves. Our results provide new evidence about the "dark side" of social cohesion in promoting binge drinking among adolescents.

Prevalence and risk factors associated with traumatic dental injury among 12-year-old schoolchildren in Montes Claros, MG, Brazil.

The scope of this study was to determine the prevalence of trauma in the permanent dentition of 12-year-old schoolchildren and assess associations with demographic factors such as gender and socioeconomic status and overjet and lip coverage clinical factors. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using a representative sample of 638 students. Data were gathered by means of clinical examinations and self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive analysis was performed, followed by the use of the chi-square test and Poisson logistic regression model for the determination of significant associations. The prevalence of traumatic dental injury was 34.9%. Falls constituted the main etiological factor (49.7%), and occurred in the home (48.2%). The results of the Poisson regression analysis revealed that accentuated overjet (> 5 mm) remained associated with traumatic dental injury irrespective of the other variables [PR = 1.50 (95% CI: 1.41 to 1.61); p = 0.003]. Moreover, a statistically significant association was found between accentuated overjet and dental trauma. No significant associations were found between TDI and socioeconomic status. These findings highlight the need for prevention strategies and orthodontic correction at the onset of the permanent dentition.

Introdução: O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a prevalência de traumatismo dentário na dentição permanente em escolares de 12 anos de idade e sua associação com fatores demográficos (gênero e condição socioeconômica) e clínicos (sobressaliência acentuada e proteção labial). Metodologia: Um estudo transversal foi realizado em uma amostra representativa de 638 escolares. Dados foram coletados por exame clínico e questionário autoaplicável. Foram realizadas análises descritivas, seguidas do teste qui-quadrado e modelo de regressão de Poisson para determinar associações. Resultados: A prevalência de traumatismo dentário foi de 34,9%. Queda foi o principal fator etiológico (49,7%). Os resultados da regressão logística de Poisson revelaram que o aumento do overjet (> 5 mm) se manteve associado aos traumatismos dentários de forma independente das demais variáveis [PR = 1.50 (95% CI: 1.41 to 1.61); p = 0.003]. Conclusão: Associação estatisticamente significativa foi observada entre aumento do overjet e presença de traumatismo dentário. Não foi observada associação estatística entre os traumatismos dentários e a condição socioeconômica. Os resultados encontrados sugerem a necessidade de estratégias de prevenção e correção ortodôntica na dentição permanente. .

Is there an association between traumatic dental injury and social capital, binge drinking and socioeconomic indicators among schoolchildren?

OBJECTIVES: Traumatic dental injury is defined as trauma caused by forces on a tooth with variable extent and severity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of traumatic dental injury and its association with overjet, lip protection, sex, socioeconomic status, social capital and binge drinking among 12-year-old students. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 633 12-year-old students. Data were collected through a clinical exam and self-administered questionnaires. Socioeconomic status was determined based on mother's schooling and household income. The Social Capital Questionnaire for Adolescent Students and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) were used to measure social capital and binge drinking, respectively. RESULTS: The prevalence of traumatic dental injury was 29.9% (176/588). Traumatic dental injury was more prevalent among male adolescents (p = 0.010), those with overjet greater than 5 mm (p < 0.001) and those with inadequate lip protection (p < 0.001). In the multiple logistic regression analysis, overjet [OR = 3.80 (95% CI: 2.235-6.466), p < 0.0001], inadequate lip protection [OR = 5.585 (95% CI: 3.654-8.535), p < 0.0001] and binge drinking [OR = 1.93 (95% CI: 1.21-3.06), p = 0.005] remained significantly associated with traumatic dental injury. CONCLUSIONS: The present findings suggest that a high level of total social capital and trust are not associated with TDI in adolescents, unlike binge drinking. The effects of social and behavioral factors on TDI are not well elucidated. Therefore, further research involving other populations and a longitudinal design is recommended.

Development and validation of a social capital questionnaire for adolescent students (SCQ-AS).

OBJECTIVES: Social capital has been studied due to its contextual influence on health. However, no specific assessment tool has been developed and validated for the measurement of social capital among 12-year-old adolescent students. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a quick, simple assessment tool to measure social capital among adolescent students. METHODS: A questionnaire was developed based on a review of relevant literature. For such, searches were made of the Scientific Electronic Library Online, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences, The Cochrane Library, ISI Web of Knowledge, International Database for Medical Literature and PubMed Central bibliographical databases from September 2011 to January 2014 for papers addressing assessment tools for the evaluation of social capital. Focus groups were also formed by adolescent students as well as health, educational and social professionals. The final assessment tool was administered to a convenience sample from two public schools (79 students) and one private school (22 students), comprising a final sample of 101 students. Reliability and internal consistency were evaluated using the Kappa coefficient and Cronbach's alpha coefficient, respectively. Content validity was determined by expert consensus as well as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. RESULTS: The final version of the questionnaire was made up of 12 items. The total scale demonstrated very good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: 0.71). Reproducibility was also very good, as the Kappa coefficient was higher than 0.72 for the majority of items (range: 0.63 to 0.97). Factor analysis grouped the 12 items into four subscales: School Social Cohesion, School Friendships, Neighborhood Social Cohesion and Trust (school and neighborhood). CONCLUSIONS: The present findings indicate the validity and reliability of the Social Capital Questionnaire for Adolescent Students.

Prevalence of dental trauma and association with alcohol consumption, demographic and clinical factors among 12-year-old schoolchildren: an exploratory study

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of traumatic dental injury (TDI) of the permanent incisors and association with alcohol consumption, socioeconomic status, gender, overjet and lip coverage among 12-year-old schoolchildren in the city of Diamantina,in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Material and Methods:An exploratory cross-sectional study was carried out with a convenience sample of 101 schoolchildren (46.5% males and 53.4% females) selected from public and private schools. The diagnosis of TDI was performed by a dentist who had undergone a training andcalibration exercise using the Andreasen classification. Data analysis involved the determination of frequency distribution and the chi-squared test (p<0.05).Results:The prevalence rates of TDI, alcohol consumption and binge drinking were 33.7%, 37.6% and 24.8%, respectively. The main type of TDI was enamel fracture (53.6%), followed by enamel + dentin fracture without pulp exposure (n=29; 4%). Only 9.8% of the adolescents with TDI underwent subsequent treatment. Significant associations were found between TDI and the male gender (p=0.029), overjet (p<0.0001) and inadequate lip coverage (p<0.0001). No associations were found with socioeconomic status (p=0.579), household income (p=0.776), alcohol consumption (p=0.281) or binge drinking (p=0.207). Conclusion:High prevalence rates of TDI, alcohol consumption and binge drinking were found among the 12-year-olds analyzed. TDI was associated with gender and lip coverage, but no associations were found with socioeconomic status or alcohol consumption

Estudo exploratório sobre a prevalência de traumatismo dentário e obesidade em escolares de 12 anos de idade em Diamantina, Minas Gerais / Exploratory study on the prevalence of dental injuries and obesity among 12-years-old schoolchildren in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Objetivo: O objetivo foi analisar a prevalência de traumatismo dentário em escolares com 12 anos de idade, na cidade de Diamantina, MG, avaliando ainda a associação com fatores demográficos e clínicos. Materiais e Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 101 escolares (46,5% do sexo masculino e 53,5% do sexo feminino) selecionados de escolas públicas e privadas. O exame clínico foi realizado por um dentista treinado e calibrado adotando a classificação de Andreasen et al. A condição socioeconômica foi investigada por meio do questionário ABA-ABIPEME, renda familiar e escolaridade da mãe. A obesidade foi medida pelo índice de massa corporal (IMC= peso [kg] / altura [m2]), por sexo e idade. Foram realizadas análises de frequência e teste de associação (p<0,05). Resultados: A prevalência de traumatismo dentário foi 33,7%, a principal lesão a fratura de esmalte (57,7%) e o tratamento mais prevalente a restauração estética com compósito (5,9%). A maioriadas crianças apresentou apenas um dente acometido (94,1%), sendo o incisivo central o dente mais afetado. Otraumatismo dentário em 77,8% dos escolares ocorreu há mais de um ano. Houve associação estatisticamentesignificativa entre o sexo masculino Odds Ratio (OR) – 2,54 e Intervalo de Confiança (IC) 95%=1,090-5,951(p=0,029), sobressaliência acentuada OR – 6,648 (IC95%=2,591-7,057) (p=0,001), proteção labial inadequadaOR – 4,977 (IC95%=2,001-12,376) (p<0,0001) e a presença de traumatismo dentário. O traumatismo dentário não esteve estatisticamente associado à classe socioeconômica (p=0,579), escolaridade da mãe (p=0,249) e IMC (p=0,776). Conclusão: A prevalência de traumatismo dentário aos 12 anos foi elevada, estando associada ao gênero e aos fatores clínicos sobressaliência acentuada e proteção labial inadequada, porém semelhantes entre as classes socioeconômicas e padrões nutricionais.
