The aims of this study were to 1) determine if continuous eruption occurs in the maxillary teeth, 2) assess the magnitude of the continuous eruption, and 3) evaluate the effects of continuous eruption on the different periodontal parameters by using data from the population-based cohort of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP). The jaw casts of 140 participants from the baseline (SHIP-0) and 16-y follow-up (SHIP-3) were digitized as 3-dimensional models. Robust reference points were set to match the tooth eruption stage at SHIP-0 and SHIP-3. Reference points were set on the occlusal surface of the contralateral premolar and molar teeth, the palatal fossa of an incisor, and the rugae of the hard palate. Reference points were combined to represent 3 virtual occlusal planes. Continuous eruption was measured as the mean height difference between the 3 planes and rugae fix points at SHIP-0 and SHIP-3. Probing depth, clinical attachment levels, gingiva above the cementoenamel junction (gingival height), and number of missing teeth were clinically assessed in the maxilla. Changes in periodontal variables were regressed onto changes in continuous eruption after adjustment for age, sex, number of filled teeth, and education or tooth wear. Continuous tooth eruption >1 mm over the 16 y was found in 4 of 140 adults and averaged to 0.33 mm, equaling 0.021 mm/y. In the total sample, an increase in continuous eruption was significantly associated with decreases in mean gingival height (B = −0.34; 95% CI, −0.65 to −0.03). In a subsample of participants without tooth loss, continuous eruption was negatively associated with PD. This study confirmed that continuous eruption is clearly detectable and may contribute to lower gingival heights in the maxilla.
National oral health survey on refugees in Germany 2016/2017: caries and subsequent complications
(2020)
Objectives To assess oral health, caries prevalence, and subsequent complications among recently arrived refugees in Germany and to ompare these findings with the German resident population. Methods This multicenter cross-sectional study recruited 544 refugees aged 3–75+ years; they were examined at ten registration institutions in four federal states in Germany by two calibrated dentists. The refugees were screened for caries (dmft/DMFT) and its complications pufa/PUFA); this data was compared to the resident population via the presentative national oral health surveys). Results The deciduous dentition of the 3-year-old refugees had a mean dmft value of 2.62 ± 3.6 compared with 0.48 dmft in the German resident population, and caries increased to 5.22 ± 3.4 for 6–7-year-olds (Germany: 1.73 dmft). Few refugee children had naturally healthy teeth (7% in 6–7-year-olds, Germany: 56%). In the permanent dentition, the gap in caries prevalence between refugees and the German population decreased with age (35–44-year-olds: 10.55 ± 7.1 DMFT; Germany: 11.2), but refugees exhibited more caries defects (35–44-year-olds DT = 3.13 ± 3.0; Germany: 0.5). German residents had more restorations (35–44-year-olds FT = 4.21 ± 4.6). Regarding complications, the 6–7-year-olds exhibited the highest pufa index (0.86 ± 1.4) which decreased in adolescence (13–17-year-olds, 0.18 ± 0.6) and increased in adults (45–64-year-olds, 0.45 ± 0.8). Conclusion The refugees had high caries experience, often untreated caries teeth and more complications compared with the German resident population, especially in children. Closing this gap by extending preventive systems to the refugees would decrease future treatment needs. Clinical relevance European countries should be prepared for the higher dental treatment needs in recent refugees, especially in
children.
Die vorliegende Studie basiert auf der Untersuchung von 89 verschiedenen Säugetierschädeln und 14 menschlichen Schädeln aus dem Institut für Anatomie und Zellbiologie der Universität Greifswald.
Die Arbeit vergleicht die Morphologie der knöchernen Schädel der Säugetiere mit denen des Menschen. Dabei wird von kieferorthopädischen Messpunkten, wie sie beim Menschen bereits seit längerer Zeit angewendet werden, ausgegangen. Sämtliche Messpunkte, die in der Kieferorthopädie herangezogen werden, finden sich auch an den Säugetierschädeln, sodass von einem gemeinsamen Schädelbauplan ausgegangen werden kann. Systematische Untersuchungen an einer größeren Gruppe von Säugetieren mit kieferorthopädischem Ansatz wurden, soweit ersichtlich, bisher noch nicht durchgeführt. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es damit auch, eine dementsprechende Datengrundlage zu schaffen. Die dreidimensionale Vermessung erfolgte mit dem MicroScribe 3DX Digitalisierer (Immersion Corp., San Jose, CA) sowie einem digitalen Messschieber. Die Schädel wurden entsprechend der in der Literatur angewandten Taxonomie in Gruppen eingeteilt. Aus der Ordnung der Primaten wurden die Hominoidea, Platyrrhini, Cercopithecoidea und Lemuriformes untersucht, bei den Carnivora die Feliformia, Canidae, Ursidae und Pinnipedia. Bei den Cetartiodactyla wurden Ruminantia und Suidae vermessen, bei den Mesaxonia die Equidae.
In einem ersten Teil der Arbeit kommt die klassische Morphometrie zu Anwendung. Dabei werden klassische KFO- Messpunkte wie Nasion, Menton, Gonion, Pogonion, Zygion, Spina nasialis antetior, etc. verwendet, ebenso klassische Indizes wie Bolton-Analyse, Pont- Index und Izard- Index. In einem zweiten Teil kommt die geometrische Morphometrie zur Anwendung. Diese in der Biologie und Anthropologie bereits häufiger angewandte Methode wird jetzt auch vermehrt in der Kieferorthopädie angewandt. Durch die sogenannte Procrustes Transformation können dabei die vermessenen Schädel in Form und Gestalt unabhängig von der Größe verglichen werden. Bei sämtlichen Messungen werden die Unterschiede bzw. Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Mensch und den einzelnen Säugetierarten herausgearbeitet und tabellarisch und graphisch dargestellt.
So können die beim Menschen nachgewiesenen kieferorthopädischen Indizes auch teilweise bei den Säugetieren gefunden werden. Sowohl beim Izard- Index als auch bei der Bolton- Analyse und der Tonn- Relation können Gemeinsamkeiten festgestellt werden. Größere Abweichungen gibt es dagegen beim Pont- Index, dem Gaumenhöhen- Index und dem Gaumen- Index. Auch der Jugomandibularindex zeigt wenig Übereinstimmung mit dem Menschen.
Dass die Primaten und hier insbesondere die Hominoidea und Cercopithecoidea dem Menschen schädelbezüglich am ähnlichsten sind, war zu erwarten und kann durch die hier vorliegenden Ergebnisse auch bestätigt werden. Allerdings weichen die Primaten bei der Gaumenform stärker vom Menschen ab, während bei der Gesichts- und Kieferform eine weniger zu erwartende Übereinstimmung mit Feliformia und Canidae festgestellt werden kann.
Das evolutionsbedingt stärkste Unterscheidungsmerkmal zu den Säugetieren ist der beim Menschen im Vergleich zur Schädellänge relativ kurze Gesichtsschädel.
Die in der Literatur beschriebene Taxonomie der Säugetiere, die durch eine Vielzahl verschiedener Untersuchungen hervorgegangen ist, kann hier sowohl mit Hilfe der klassischen Morphometrie als auch insbesondere durch die geometrische Morphometrie bestätigt werden. Bei der letzteren wird nach der Procrustes Transformation durch Clusterbildung sowohl nach deutlich voneinander abweichenden, als auch nach in sich homogenen Gruppen differenziert.
Durch die in dieser Studie differenziert herausgearbeiteten anatomische Strukturen in verschiedenen Schädelbereichen würde sich zusätzlich die Möglichkeit ergeben, bei kieferorthopädischen Tierversuchen in kraniofazialen Schädelregionen das anatomisch geeignete Tiermodell zu bestimmen, d.h. nicht eine einzelne Tierart ist für alle Versuche geeignet, sondern je nach Fragestellung müssen in unterschiedlichen Schädelbereichen verschiedene Tierarten herangezogen werden.
A 2-day workshop of ORCA and the IADR Cariology Research Group was organized to discuss and reach consensus on definitions of the most commonly used terms in cariology. The aims were to identify and to select the most commonly used terms of dental caries and dental caries management and to define them based on current concepts. Terms related to definition, diagnosis, risk assessment, and monitoring of dental caries were included. The Delphi process was used to establish terms to be considered using the nominal group method favored by consensus. Of 222 terms originally suggested by six cariologists from different countries, a total of 59 terms were reviewed after removing duplicates and unnecessary words. Sixteen experts in cariology took part in the process of reaching consensus about the definitions of the selected caries terms. Decisions were made following thorough “round table” discussions of each term and confirmed by secret electronic voting. Full agreement (100%) was reached on 17 terms, while the definitions of 6 terms were below the agreed 80% threshold of consensus. The suggested terminology is recommended for use in research, in public health, as well as in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background
Knowledge of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) has relevance for paediatric dentists.
Aim
To assess final‐year German dental students’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding MIH.
Materials and methods
A previously validated questionnaire was posted to the 31 German dental schools. Demographic covariates as well as knowledge regarding
diagnosis and prevalence, and attitudes and beliefs around aetiology and management were collected.
Results
Twenty‐two (71%) dental schools responded and a total of 877 students participated. Most (97%) were familiar with MIH and 88% were aware of the diagnostic criteria for MIH; however, only 42% knew how to implement them. One‐third were able to identify MIH and 16% reported diagnostic confidence when doing so; 90% assumed the MIH prevalence to be <10%. Two‐thirds of the respondents implicated genetic components as the main aetiological factor of MIH. Resin composite (60%) and preformed metal crowns (46%) were the dental materials most often suggested for restorative management. Almost all (98%) respondents were interested in receiving more clinical training.
Conclusion
German students were familiar with MIH; however, they reported low levels of knowledge and confidence regarding its prevalence and diagnosis. Standardized nationwide, up‐to‐date curricula should be implemented to educate future dentists in Germany.
40-Year Longitudinal Caries Development in German Adolescents in the Light of New Caries Measures
(2019)
This study assessed the 40-year longitudinal caries development in German adolescents in the light of the sixth National Oral Health Survey in Children (NOHSC, 2016) employing initial DMFT (IDMFT), Significant Caries Index (SiC) and Specific Affected Caries Index (SaC). On the basis of the current NOHSC (randomized cluster selection using school list or regional community school surveys, 55,956 12-year-old sixth-graders examined by 482 calibrated community/study dentists) DMFT, SiC, a novel IDMFT including initial lesions (IT) and the recently introduced SaC were calculated and also recalculated for national and international surveys from the last 4 decades. In 2016, 78.8% of children were caries-free (DMFT = 0), 65.5% including IT lesions. The mean DMFT was 0.44 (single components: DT = 0.14, MT = 0.02, FT = 0.29, IT = 0.52) showing a clear association with the school type as marker for the socio-economic status. The mean number of affected teeth in children with DMFT >0 was 2.07 (SaC) in comparison to almost 9 teeth in the 1970s. The current care index on the tooth level was 66.3%, leaving only 7.7% of children with restorative treatment needs. Longitudinally, a continuous caries decline of more than 80%, including the risk groups (SiC/SaC), to an internationally extremely low level was observed. In conclusion, the National Oral Health Surveys reveal a continuous caries decline to a very low caries level in 12-year-old 6th-graders in Germany even if IT lesions are included (IDMFT). In spite of proportional reductions in the risk groups (SiC/SaC), the polarized caries distribution according to socio-economic parameters reveals the need for targeted preventive programmes.
Long-term nationally representative caries data in the primary dentition are rare, but nonetheless central to assess needs in caries prevention and treatment. This study evaluated the prevalence and trends of caries levels in the primary dentition of 6- to 7-year-olds in Germany as a whole and its federal states individually. In 2016, employing a randomized cluster selection, 6- to 7-year-old first graders were included in the National German Oral Health Survey performed regularly since 1994/95. Children were examined by 482 calibrated dentists in all 17 German regions using the WHO criteria for the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft) including the assessment of initial carious lesions (it). In total, 151,555 6- to 7-year-olds were examined. Caries prevalence in the primary dentition dropped from 65% in 1994 to 44% in 2016, while the mean caries experience dropped from 2.89 to 1.73 dmft (dt = 0.74, mt = 0.19, ft = 0.80). When initial lesions were included, the mean caries experience increased to idmft = 2.12 (it = 0.38). In 2016, 49.7% of the examined 6- to 7-year-olds were caries-free including initial lesions. The Care Index at the tooth level was 57.5%, and the Significant Caries Index was 4.84 dmft. Depending on the German region, the mean dmft varied considerably, ranging from 1.37 to 2.31. In conclusion, despite the overall caries decline in 6- to 7-year-olds in Germany, only minor caries reductions were observed over the last decade, with a still existing high proportion of untreated dental decay. This calls for more effective preventive and restorative efforts with focus on the primary dentition in Germany.
Hintergrund
Die stetig steigende Anzahl von akademischen Veröffentlichungen macht es zunehmend schwierig, Publikationen zu identifizieren, welche die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse repräsentieren und es ermöglichen, auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung und evidenzbasierter Behandlungsempfehlungen zu bleiben.
Ziel
Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Suchstrategien und Auswahlpräferenzen zu untersuchen, die verschiedene akademisch tätigen Zahnärzte bei der Auswahl der fünf bedeutendsten Publikationen aus dem Jahres 2016 im Fachgebiet der Kinderzahnheilkunde verwendeten.
Design
Die fünf an der Studie teilnehmenden Zahnärzte wurden gebeten, ohne untereinander darüber zu kommunizieren, die Datenbanken PubMed, Google Scholar und Livivo zu durchsuchen. Zudem sollten sie dabei ihre individuelle Suchstrategie dokumentieren. Die Aus-wahlkriterien wurden anschließend gemäß einer 10-Punkte-Checkliste evaluiert. Der Evidenzlevel der identifizierten Publikationen wurde anschließend gemäß ihrer Publikationsart bewertet.
Ergebnisse
Alle Studienteilnehmer wählten unterschiedliche Publikationen ohne Überschneidungen aus. Alle von ihnen ausgewählten Publikationen waren Zeitschriftenartikel. Neunzehn Artikel wurden in der Datenbank PubMed identifiziert, jeweils drei Artikel wurden in Google Scholar und Livivo gefunden. Die Relevanz des Artikels für die klinische Entscheidungsfindung war das wichtigste Kriterium bei der Auswahl durch die Teilnehmer.
Fazit
Die persönlichen Interessen und Fachgebiete der Kliniker beeinflussten die Auswahl der Zeitschriftenartikel in erheblichem Maße. Dies könnte die interindividuelle Variabilität der diagnostischen und therapeutischen Ansätze erklären, die bei Zahnärzten beobachtet wer-den kann, und trägt wahrscheinlich zu einer Verbreiterung des Wissenspools bei. Dies wird jedoch richtigerweise durch evidenzbasierte Behandlungsempfehlungen komplementiert, was die Qualität der Behandlung überregional sicherstellt.
Up to now, indices like the mean dmft/DMFT and the SiC (Significant Caries Index) have been used to depict caries experience in populations with high prevalence. With the caries decline, particularly for populations with low caries levels, these indices reach their statistical limits. This paper aims to introduce a specific term, the Specific affected Caries Index (SaC) for the risk groups in populations with low caries prevalence and to illustrate its use based on the consecutive German National Oral Health Survey (GNOHS) in children. In groups with a caries prevalence less than one-third of the population, many caries-free children (DMFT = 0) are included in the SiC (risk group), which calls for a new way of illustration. Mean caries experience (DMFT), caries prevalence, the SiC and SaC were portrayed for 12-year-olds in the GNOHS from 1994/95 to 2016. The SaC describes the mean caries experience (DMFT) in the group presenting caries experience (DMFT > 0). In 12-year-old 6th graders in Germany, the mean caries experience decreased from 2.4 (1994/95) to 0.4 DMFT (2016), with a recent prevalence of 21.2% (DMFT > 0, 2016). In 2016, the mean number of affected teeth in children with DMFT > 0 (SaC) was 2.1, while the SiC including 12% DMFT-free children in the risk group was 1.3. The SiC fails to reflect the caries severity in children in a population with low caries prevalence. Therefore, the newly introduced term Specific affected Caries Index (SaC) may be used to describe accurately caries experience in caries risk children in populations presenting low caries prevalence.
