Child Dental Health Survey 2013, England, Wales and Northern Ireland The 2013 Children's Dental Health (CDH) Survey, commissioned by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, is the fifth in a series of national children's dental health surveys that have been carried out every ten years since 1973. The 2013 survey provides statistical estimates on the dental health of 5, 8, 12 and 15 year old children in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, using data collected during dental examinations conducted in schools on a random sample of children by NHS dentists and nurses. The survey measures changes in oral health since the last survey in 2003, and provides information on the distribution and severity of oral diseases and conditions in 2013. The survey oversampled schools with high rates of free school meal eligibility to enable comparison of children from lower income families* (children eligible for free school meals in 2013) with other children of the same age, in terms of their oral health, and related perceptions and behaviours*. The 2013 survey dental examination was extended so that tooth decay (dental caries) could be measured across a range of detection thresholds. This reflects the way in which the detection and management of tooth decay has evolved towards more preventive approaches to care, rather than just providing treatment for disease. This survey provides estimates for dental decay across the continuum of caries, including both restorative and preventive care needs*. Complementary information on the children's experiences, perceptions and behaviours relevant to their oral health was collected from parents and 12 and 15 year old children using self-completion questionnaires. The self-completion questionnaire for older children was introduced for the 2013 survey. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *In 2013 when this survey took place, a free school meal was a statutory benefit available only to school aged children from families who received other qualifying benefits (such as Income Support). *Differences in clinical outcomes between socio-economic groups are likely to reflect different attitudes, behaviours and experiences relevant to oral health that may also be mediated through other demographic characteristics such as ethnicity and country of birth *Estimates from the four detection thresholds measured in the 2013 survey are available in Report 2.

The Adult Dental Health Survey (ADHS) is carried out every ten years, and investigates people's dental health, their experiences of dental care and their access to dental services. The survey results provide important information about the dental health of the nation. This information helps health authorities to effectively plan local dental services and shows the extent to which government dental health targets are being met. The results from the different surveys can be compared to allow changes over time to be understood.

The first survey was conducted in 1968 in England and Wales. Similar surveys were also conducted in Scotland in 1972 and in Northern Ireland in 1979. The second ADHS was conducted in England and Wales in 1978. None of these earlier surveys are available from the UK Data Archive. The third survey was conducted in 1988 and was extended to include adults in Scotland and Northern Ireland providing estimates for the whole of the United Kingdom (available from the Archive under SN 2834). The fourth was conducted in 1998 (available under SN 4226) and also covered the whole of the UK. The latest survey in the series took place in 2009 and was carried out in England, Wales and Northern Ireland only (available under SN 6884).
The purpose of the Adult Dental Health Survey, 1998 was to provide information on the current state of adults' teeth and oral health in the four countries of the UK, and to measure changes compared with previous Adult Dental Health Surveys. Sampled adults (aged 16 years and over) were interviewed, and those with some natural teeth took part in a home dental examination.

The specific aims of the survey were:

• to establish the condition of natural teeth and supporting tissues by dental examination
• to investigate dental experiences, attitudes and knowledge, dental care and oral hygiene
• to establish the state and use made of dentures worn in conjunction with natural teeth
• to identify those who have lost all their natural teeth and investigate their use of dentures
• to examine the change over time in dental health, attitudes and behaviour
• to monitor the extent to which oral health targets set by government are being met.

For the second edition (October 2013), following requests from users, the depositor has added some additional variables to the data file, namely NS-SEC full and simplified analytical classes for individuals where derivation was possible. An updated disclosure control evaluation was also carried out, which has resulted in some variables being removed (e.g. all string variables, age in years) and other variables banded where appropriate (e.g. age, income).

The Children’s Dental Health (CDH) Survey series is a set of national surveys of children’s dental health that have been carried out every 10 years since 1973. Since its inception, the survey has provided important information to underpin the development and monitoring of dental health care for children.

The 1973 survey established baseline information on the state of the dental health of children in England and Wales. The survey coverage was then extended in 1983 to include Scotland and Northern Ireland. The 2013 survey covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland. (The UK Data Archive currently does not hold the 1973, 1983 and 1993 surveys).

The Children’s Dental Health Survey, 2013, commissioned by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, is the fifth survey in the series. The 2013 survey provides statistical estimates on the dental health of 5, 8, 12 and 15 year old children in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, using data collected during dental examinations conducted in schools on a random sample of children by NHS dentists and nurses. The survey measures changes in oral health since the last survey in 2003, and provides information on the distribution and severity of oral diseases and conditions in 2013.

The state of Europeans' oral health appears to vary considerably across the European Union. A firm majority of Europeans, however, claim to have no particular problems related to the condition of their teeth. To this end, several objectives have been determined: - to improve the performance of health systems through better organisation; - to improve the quality of health information by facilitating cooperation between Member States; - to promote the development of relevant medico-social policies, with priority being given to reducing inequalities in the area of health care. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: http://www.gesis.org/en/home/

To estimate the mid-point of an open-ended income category and to assess the impact of two equivalence scales on income-health associations. Data were obtained from the 2010 Brazilian Oral Health Survey ( Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde Bucal – SBBrasil 2010). Income was converted from categorical to two continuous variables ( per capita and equivalized) for each mid-point. The median mid-point was R$ 14,523.50 and the mean, R$ 24,507.10. When per capita income was applied, 53% of the population were below the poverty line, compared with 15% with equivalized income. The magnitude of income-health associations was similar for continuous income, but categorized equivalized income tended to decrease the strength of association.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the practice of dentistry in intensive care units. Methods: An observational survey study was conducted in which questionnaires were sent via the online platform for collaboration in intensive care research in Brazil (AMIBnet). The study was carried out from June to October 2017. The questionnaires, which contained 26 closed questions about hospitals and dentistry practices in the intensive care units, were sent to 4,569 professionals from different specialties practicing in the units. Results: In total, 203 questionnaires were returned, resulting in a response rate of 4.44%. Most of the responses were from intensive care units in the Southeast region of the country (46.8%). Public hospitals (37.9%) and private hospitals (36.4%) had similar participation rates. Of the respondents, 55% indicated that a bedside dentistry service was present, and they were provided in different ways. Conclusion: The presence of dentistry services and oral health service delivery training and protocols were correlated. The oral care methods varied greatly among the intensive care units surveyed.

Research Information====================Terminology of e-Oral Health: Consensus Report of the IADR’s e-Oral Health Network TerminologyTask Force. Authors reported multiple definitions of e-oral health and related terms, and used several definitionsinterchangeably, like mhealth, teledentistry, teleoral medicine and telehealth. The InternationalAssociation of Dental Research e-Oral Health Network (e-OHN) aimed to establish a consensus onterminology related to digital technologies used in oral healthcare.

This dataset contains data from a survey about digital oral health. The survey asked participants to provide their definition of various terms related to digital oral health, as well as their agreement with the provided definitions. The dataset also includes three figures that the participants were asked to review.

The purpose of this dataset is to collect data on the public's understanding of digital oral health terms and to identify areas where there may be confusion or misinterpretation. The data from this dataset could be used to develop educational materials or to improve the way that digital oral health information is communicated to the public.

Purpose This study examines oral health behavioral trends and the development of sociodemographic differences in oral health behaviors among Tanzanian students between 1999 and 2000. Methods The population targeted was students attending the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS) at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted and a total of 635 and 981 students, respectively, completed questionnaires in 1999 and 2001. Results Cross-tabulation analyses revealed that in 1999, the rates of abstinence from tobacco use, and of soft drink consumption, regular dental checkups, and intake of chocolate/candy were 84%, 51%, 48%, and 12%, respectively, among students of urban origin and 83%, 29%, 37%, and 5% among their rural counterparts. The corresponding rates in 2001 were 87%, 56%, 50%, and 9% among urban students and 84%, 44%, 38%, and 4% among rural ones. Multiple logistic regression analyses controlling for sex, age, place of origin, educational level, year of survey, and their interaction terms revealed a significant increase in the rate of soft drink consumption, implementation of oral hygiene measures, and abstinence from tobacco use between 1999 and 2001. Social inequalities observed in 1999, with urban students being more likely than their rural counterparts to take soft drinks and go for regular dental checkups, had leveled off by 2001. Conclusion This study provides initial evidence of oral health behavioral trends, that may be utilized in the planning of preventive programs among university students in Tanzania.

Percentage of 5 year olds with dental decay extending to the dentine layer which can be detected by visual observation aloneRationaleOral health is an integral part of overall health; when children are not healthy this affects their ability to learn, thrive and develop. This indicator therefore links to a key policy: Getting the Best Start in Life. Poor oral health is a priority under Best Start in Life, it was also a topic of a Health Select Committee inquiry, and the most common cause of hospital admission for 5 to 9 year olds. This indicator allows benchmarking of oral health of young children across England, and is an excellent proxy measure of assessing the impact of the commissioning of oral health improvement programmes on the local community. Dental caries is a synonymous term for tooth decay.Definition of numeratorNumber of 5 year olds in a given area with at least one tooth decayed, missing or filledDefinition of denominatorNumber of 5 year olds examined for a given areaCaveatsNot all local authorities have taken part in the survey. This means that for any child who has been examined whose LA of residence has not taken part in the survey, their figures will be included in national, regional, deprivation and ethnicity breakdowns, but will not appear in the local authority breakdown.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the mean number of missing teeth, lack of functional dentition and total tooth loss (edentulism) among adolescents, adults and the elderly in Brazil, comparing the results with those of 2003. METHODS: Data from 5,445 adolescents aged 15-19, 9,779 adults aged 35-44 and 7,619 elderly individuals aged 65-74, participants in the Brazilian Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil) 2010, were analyzed. The mean missing teeth, proportion of lack of functional dentition (< 21 natural teeth) and proportion of edentulism (total tooth loss) were estimated for each age group, each state Capital and each macro region. Multivariable logistic regression (tooth loss) and Poisson (absence of functional dentition and edentulism) analyses were performed in order to identify socioeconomic factors and demographic characteristics associated with each outcome. RESULTS: The prevalence of tooth loss among adolescents was 17.4% (38.9% in 2002-03) ranging from 8.1% among those earning higher income to almost 30% among those with less schooling. Among adolescents, females, those with black or brown skin and those with the lowest levels of income and schooling had a higher prevalence of tooth loss. Lack of functional dentition affected nearly ¼ of adults, it was higher among women, among those with black and brown skin and among those with the lowest levels of income and schooling. Mean missing teeth in adults decreased from 13.5 in 2002-03 to 7.4 in 2010. More than half of elderly is edentulous (similar to the 2002-03 findings); higher prevalence of edentulism was found among women and those with the lowest levels of income and schooling. Among adolescents the mean missing teeth ranged from 0.1 (in Curitiba, South Brazil and Vitória, Southeast Brazil) to 1.2 (in the North countryside). Among adults the lowest mean missing teeth was found in Vitória (4.2) and the highest in Rio Branco, North Brazil (13.6). CONCLUSIONS: A remarkable reduction in tooth loss among adolescents and adults was identified between 2010 and 2003. Among the elderly, tooth loss figure remained the same. In spite of important achievements in tooth loss figures, social and regional inequalities persist.

This folder contains the data used in the paper submitted in a peer reviewed journal. The general aim of the work was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of dentists and physicians regarding children’s oral health through a survey. The scope of the dataset is to make available the initial not included in the manuscript. The data were collected through an anonymous on-line questionnaire administered to physicians and dentists of the Italian Federation of Doctors and Dentists (OMCeO) in the province of Milan, Italy.
