Increasing fleuency of dental caries at early ages
requires the augmentation of prophylaxis methods . Fluoride
therapy , through any of the administration methods is still of heigh
eficciency ( 1, 2, 5 ).
Several data from literature ( 3,7,8 )
are reporting overall caries reduction of 40-50% through fluoride
applications.
Many of the last year researches are based on
the self – administered techniques in children communities the
most economic method being toothbrushing and toothpastes and a rinsing
solutions ( 4,6 ).
The use of toothpastes , gels and
rinsing solutions several times a year could decrease the freqvency of
overall caries with a percent of 20.
Meantime with the advantages of
topical fluoride applications, the children also learned a correct
toothbrushing technique.
The aim of this study was to
determine the effects of toothbrushing with elmex solutions
in kindergarden children during the period of activity in that
community.
Material
and method
This study was
carried out in 200 children with an overage age of three years.
The children were divided into two equal study groups, each one
of a hundred individuals.
The first group
served as a control group consisting of children who didn’t undergo our
prophylaxis programme.
The second
group was the study group with a number of a hundred children who
followed our prophylaxis schedule.
The
experiment lasted three years and all records were registered in files
especially designed for this study.
The
files allowed us to register every affected toothsurface and also
the amount of the carious lesions and other parametres, too.
The study group
underwent professionally fluorides applications ( topical fluoride)
twice a year ( in May and November ) .
The aim of
this method was to allow each child to undergo 8 professionally
fluoride applications.
The
oscillating frequency of kindergarden attendance was the main reason
for wich the aim of this study was attained only a small group of
children, the average number of topical fluoride applications varying
between 4 and 6.
Every child
brushed thoroughly his teeth, then the toothbrush was dried with the
child’s own towel.
5 to
6 drops of elmex solution were poured on the dried toothbrushed and the
child was encoureged to do another brushing during two three
minutes and to spit out the foam without rinsing.
At the beginning
of the study and at a six months recall, before fluoride
application we recorded in the individual file all affected
toothsurfaces.
According to the
recorded data we determined the carious intensity index “m d f l s”
and we made a comparison follow-up in the two groups.
Results
and discussion
At the beginning of the
study, the 2 groups were having similary values of the “ m d f l
s “ carious index, as they have been registered in
table I.
m d f l s = 0,9% in the control group
m d f l s = 1,14% in the study group
during the study, because
of the oscillating frequency of children’s attendance in
kindergarden, the number of children who had a full-time activity
declined to 59% in the control group and 62% in the study
group.
The comparison of “ m
d f l s “ index ( percent of decoyed or filled toothsurfaces) at
several recalls ( in November 1992, 1993, 1994) rewals the high
efficiency of the procedure.
In the control
group, the value of “ m d f l s “ index rose strongly from 0,9%
in 1992 to 3,89% in 1993 and finnaly reached the 5,07%
value in November 1994.
The study group showed only a
small increase in the value of m d f l s index, from 1,14%
in 1992 to 1,67% in 1993 and then to 1,98% in 1994.
The average value of
annually decayed toothsurfaces was five times higher
in the control group than in the study one. ( 2,17% in the
control group and only 0,42% in the experimental group with
professional topical fluoride application).

Data submided before pointed out
that professionnally fluoride application like the elmex
solutions bed to a definite decrease of the percent of new affected
toothsurfaces.
In addition we noticed a high
percent of carious – free children, maintained throughout the period in
the study group, also we noticed arrested carious lesions and a
decrease in the number of penetrating carious lesions.
Conclusions
Topical fluoride applications,
as toothbrushing with elmex solution is a valuable factor
in carious index decrease.
Summary
The aim of this study was to determine the
effects toothbrushing with rolmex solution in kindergarden
children.
The study sample consisted of 200 children and was divided
into two equal groups : a control group and a study one.
The carious index “ m d f l s “ were
determined at sereveral recalls in every group.
The results pionted out a small
increase in the number of affected toothsurfaces in the
study group while in the control group there was a very high
increase.

Frecventa ridicata a cariei dentare la varste tot mai
mici impune
necesitatea extinderii mijloacelor de profilaxie. Printre
acestea ,
fluorizarea , sub oricare din formele de administrare cunoscute ,
continua sa dovedeasca una dintre metodele cele mai
eficiente
( 1,2,5 ).
Datele din literatura ( 3 ,7 , 8 ) atesta faptul ca
aplicarile topice de fluor , sunt in masura sa reduca procentul cariei
dentare cu 40 – 50 % .
Multe din cercetarile ultimilor ani , s-au axat insa pe
tehnici de autoadministrare a fluorului in colectivitati de copii.
Dintre cele mai economice procedee s-au dovedit periajele
si
clatirile cu solutii fluorurate ( 4 , 6 ).
Utilizarea periajelor cu paste , geluri , solutii de
fluor , de cateva ori pe an , ar reduce caria cu 20% ( 4 ).
Concomitent cu avantajul fluorizarii , copiii deprind si o
tehnica
corecta de periaj. Ne-am oprit asupra acestei metode , verificand
actiunea periajului cu solutie Elmex la copii prescolari ,
incepand
cu grupa mica si continuand pe toata durata cuprinderii in
colectivitate.
Metodologie
Au fost luati in studiu un numar de 200 copii in varsta de
trei ani ( grupele mici ), constituindu-se doua loturi :
Lotul I - martor
Lotul II - experimental
Toti copiii au fost urmariti timp de trei ani , pe baza unei foi
de
observatie special concepute, care a permis notarea fiecarei
suprafete afectate si gradul acestei afectari , precum si alti
parametrii. Pentru lotul experimental s-au preconizat doua serii
de
fluorizari pe an, ( in lunile noiembrie si mai ) , a cate 4 sedinte
fiecare , la interval de o saptamana. Deci fiecare copil trebuia sa
beneficieze de 8 periaje pe an . Datorita faptului ca prezenta copiilor
a inregistrat mari fluctuatii , dezideratul a fost atins la un numar
mic de copii, majoritatea beneficiind in medie de 4 fluorizari pe
an,
cu variatii intre 3 si 6.
Avand in vedere varsta abordata , cu dificultatile inerente de
colaborare , fiecarui copil
i-am efectuat un periaj atent cu periuta si pasta de dinti
prezentate
in gradinite , dupa care, pe periuta uscata cu prosopul
individual
s-au aplicat 5-6 picaturi de solutie Elmex, facandu-se un nou periaj
timp de 2-3 minute , fara a fi urmat de clatire , ci doar de
indepartarea spumei rezultate de pe buze.
Atat la inceputul actiunii , cat si la intervale de 6 luni inaintea
reluarii seriei de fluorizari , am inregistrat in fisa
individuala ,
asa cum am amintit , toate suprafetele dentare afectate. Pe baza
datelor consemnate am calculat indicii de intensitate ai cariei pe
suprafata (mdf/s)si am urmarit evolutia lor comparativ la cele
doua
loturi.
Rezultate si discutii
Dupa cum reiese din tabel si grafic , la inceputul
studiului , cele doua loturi egale numeric au prezentat indici mdf/s
apropiati ca valori ( 0,9% lotul I martor si 1,14% lotul
II
experimental.) Pe parcurs , numarul copiilor cuprinsi in
studiu s-a
redus inegal , ramanand relativ mic pentru loturile finale. Totusi
compararea indicilor mdf/s ( procentul suprafetelor dentare cariate sau
obturate )la anumite intervale , ( lunile noiembrie ale anilor
1992 ,
1993 , 1994 )evidentiaza pregnant eficienta metodei. Daca la
lotul
martor indicele de intensitate a cariei , mdf/s , a avut o evolutie
puternic ascendenta de la 0,9% in 1992 la 3,86 % in 1993 si 5,07 % in
nov. 1994 , lotul fluorizat desi a prezentat si el o crestere a
intensitatii cariei in acelasi interval aceasta este semnificativ mai
mica fata de lotul martor ( de la 1,14% la 1,67% si respectiv 1,98% )
Calculand procentul mediu annual de suprafete noi cariate , aceasta
este de cinci ori mai mare la lotul martor fata de lotul
fluorizat (
2,17% la lotul martor si numai 0,42% la lotul fluorizat).
Tabel – Evolutia
indicilor mdf/s la cele doua loturi :

Datele prezentate releva faptul ca aplicarea solutiei Elmex prin
periaj a dus la o diminuare neta a procentului de suprafete noi
cariate . In plus am putut observa mentinerea unui procent
ridicat de
copii indemni de carie , dupa aceste intervale, la lotul
fluorizat ,
stagnarea in evolutie a cariilor incipiente si reducerea numarului de
carii complicate .
In
concluzie putem afirma ca fluorizarea locala , sub forma
de periaj , s-a dovedit un factor valoros in scaderea
intensitatii
procesului carios.
R E Z U M A T
S-a urmarit actiunea solutiei Elmex , aplicata prin
periaj dentar, la un lot de copii prescolari , comparativ cu un lot
martor. Valoarea indicilor mdf/s calculati la anumite
intervale , la
cele doua loturi , dovedeste o crestere nesemnificativa a procentului
de suprafete noi cariate la lotul fluorizat , in timp ce la lotul
martor cresterea este vertiginoasa.
