BACKGROUND Among the issues that determine the performance of a child at school is health. In recognition of this, the Uganda government has embarked on a school health program for the success of universal primary education. Although dental health is an important component of school health there is little information on it. OBJECTIVE This study aimed at collecting information on dental health...

We propose a hybrid approach which employs the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) self-energy for correlated, typically rather localized orbitals and conventional density functional (DFT) exchange-correlation potential less orbitals. implement this (plus charge density) self-consistent $\mathrm{DFT}+\mathrm{DMFT}$ scheme in basis of maximally Wannier using wien2k, wien2wannier, DMFT impurity so...

Background: Thalassemia is the most common single-gene disorder that carries along many difficulties and effects such as oral and dental problems in patients. This study aimed to determine DMFT indicator and its correlation with the amount of serum ferritin and hemoglobin in patients with thalassemia major. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study has been conducted by descriptive-ana...

Aim The aims of this cross-sectional statistical study were to evaluate the association between obesity and dental caries and to assess the impact of food intake, oral hygiene and lifestyle on the incidence of dental caries in obese paediatric patients, analysed by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Materials and methods A sample of 96 healthy patients, aged between 6 and 11 years (mean age 8.58±...

Aim of the study. To determine the role of bacteria on the dorsal surface of the tongue in periodontal disease. Material and methods. Fifthytwo patients aged 18 to 25 were enrolled in the study; the subjects had to complete a questionnaire on general health, diet and dental hygiene habits. Decay-missingfilled teeth index (DMFT), the periodontal screening index (PSI), bleeding on probing (BOP) a...

A survey was conducted to assess dental caries experience and oral health related behaviour among Malaysian Territorial Army (TA) personnel. This cross-sectional study involved 284 personnel covering their socio-demography, oral hygiene habits and related behaviour and past utilization of dental services pattern. Dental caries were assessed using DMFT index. Caries prevalence was very high (97....

Theoretical methods that are accurate for both short-distance observables and long-wavelength collective modes still being developed the Hubbard model. Here, we benchmark an approach combines dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) with two-particle self-consistent (TPSC). This offers a way to include non-local correlations in DMFT while also improving TPSC. The benchmarks published diagrammatic qua...

Introduction: Dental caries is the most prevalent chronic disease among schoolchildren. We aimed to investigate the association between dental caries index and socio-demographic status in schoolchildren by using a multilevel hurdle model. Materials and Methods: A crosssectional epidemiological study was carried out on 906 primary school pupils in Kerman, Iran in 2012. The subjects were selected...

To investigate the relationship between dental caries and the salivary flow rate, secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) or other components in children, nonstimulated whole saliva was collected and teeth status was examined in 138 boys and 134 girls aged 11-12 years. The subjects were apparently healthy. The mean salivary flow rate was faster in boys than in girls (0.29 vs 0.18 ml/min, p < 0.001). ...

Background Historically, the prevalence of dental caries was higher in urban areas than rural areas of Thailand. This study aim to examine the time trends in caries status in children in Thailand. Material and Methods Linear regression was used to examine trend of dental caries prevalence and mean number of teeth with caries, filled and missing due to caries (dmft/DMFT) in urban and rural, of...
