Abstract

|
|
Objective: Oral health and relative factors causing dental caries and periodontal disease for high students were examined in order to determine the correlations between each factor.
Methods: 58 male students and 12 female students participated in this study through oral examination for caries and laboratory tests for GCF, the Snyder Test, salivary glucose measurements, and microscopic analysis of oral micro-organisms, and a correlation was derived between each factor.
Results: The degree of caries formation was highly related to results from the Snyder Test, salivary glucose, a higher degree of oral moisture, and lower levels of GCF and DMF. There was no influence by oral micro-organisms causing caries directly in young adults except for the amount of filamentous type oral micro-organisms, and there was positive relationship between the amounts and motility for this type of micro-organism when compared to other types. There was a relationship between the salivary glucose and the amounts and motility of bacillus type micro-organisms. Otherwise, GCF was revealed to have a negative relationship with the motility of bacillus type oral micro-organisms.
Conclusion: For high school students, modified Snyder Tests and salivary glucose checks are recommended to predict the formation of caries. Tests for GCF; and the amount and motility of bacillus, filamentous and spiral type micro-organisms, are recommended to predict the incidence of periodontal disease.
