Among other aspects, the report, titled “Oral health world- wide: A report by FDI World Dental Federation”, highlights that nearly 100 per cent of adults andbetween60and90percentof children worldwide have dental caries, which results in millions of lost school and work hours. For instance, in the US, an esti- mated 2.4 million days of work and 1.6 million days of school are missed owing to oral disease. In the Philippines, toothache is the primary reason for school absenteeism. The FDI stated that about 97 per cent of Philippine 6-year-olds have dental caries. In addition, the report states that only 60 per cent of the world’s population have access to oral care, creating enormous disparities between different populations. According to the FDI, people of a lower socio-econo- mic status visit the dentist less often and have fewer fillings, more missing teeth, higher to- bacco consumption, higher rates of caries and untreated decay, and higher rates of periodontitis compared with those of a high socio-economic status. In order to increase access to oral care, the training of the oral health work-force needs to be strengthened and expanded to improve the quality of and in- crease the number of oral health professionals. Moreover, empha- sis needs to be put on the equal geographical distribution of oral health personnel, especially within developing countries, where the dentist-to-population ratio is approximately 1:150,000 compared with about 1 : 2,000 in most industrialised countries. The FDI further highlighted that a solely curative approach to tackling the burden of oral health is neither realistic nor sustainable. The organisation asserts that the prevention of oral diseases and promotion of oral health must be at the core of national policies and pro- grammes. In this respect, global and national surveillance should be strengthened to identify risk factors and oral health needs as a basis for developing appropri- ate approaches and measures, the FDI stated.

DT New world oral health report released Almost 100 per cent of adults suffer from dental caries DTI LEIPZIG, Germany: Today, digital technology is one of the fastest-growing market seg- ments in dentistry and digital processes are increasingly de- termining everyday practice in dental offices and laboratories. In order to offer dental profes- sionals a unique opportunity to keep up with these develop- ments,DentalTribuneInterna- tional (DTI) will be hosting the Digital Dentistry Show (DDS), the first event entirely dedi- cated to the field, in October this year. In recent years, an increas- ing number of dental compa- nies have released innovations in digital hardware, software and consumables, such as 3-D imaging, CAD/CAM and intra- oral devices. DDS will provide comprehensive information on the latest digital technology and is targeted at dentists, den- tal technicians and represen- tatives of the dental industry. In contrast to the conven- tional booth-based presenta- tion of products, DDS will be showcasing digital innova- tions through a combination of sponsored live product presen- tations, hands-on workshops, discussion sessions, an exhi- bition and a printed guide, offering participants a dyna- mic and interactive education experience. The show will be launched attheInternationalExpodental in Milan, one of the most im- portant events in the Italian dental industry, which will be held from 16 to 18 October. Online registration for dental professionals will soon open on the DDS website. More information about the DDS are available online at www.digitaldentistryshow.com. DT DT group announces Digital Dentistry Show DTI NEW YORK, USA: Con- ventionally, periodontal disease is classified as either chronic or aggres- sivebasedonclinicalsigns and symptoms. However, this method lacks an unequivocal, pathobiol- ogy-based foundation. Researchers at Columbia University Medical Cen- ter have thus developed a new system for classifying periodontal disease based on the genetic signature of affected tissue. In a study involving 120 male and female nonsmokers aged 11 to 76 with periodontitis, the researchers found that mole- cular profiling of gingival tissue could form a basis for the de- velopment of an alternative clas- sification for periodontitis, ex- plained Dr Panos N. Papapanou, study author and professor of dental medicine at Columbia UniversityintheCityofNewYork. Analysing genome expres- sions in the gingival tissue taken from the study participants, the researchers observed that pa- tients fell into two distinct clus- ters. “However, the clusters did not align with the current classi- fication of chronic and aggres- sive periodontitis,” Papapanou said. According to the study, patients in the second cluster showed a more extensive form of the disease. They were mostly male, matching with the well- established observation that severe periodonti- tis is more common in men than in women. The researchers believe that a new sys- tem based on genetic analysis could offer significant advantages for classifying patients. “If a patient is found tobehighlysusceptible to severe periodontitis, we would be justified in using aggressive therapies, although this person may have subclinical disease,” Papapanou said. “Today, we basically don’t know whether a periodontal infection is truly ag- gressive until severe, irreversible damage has occurred,” he added. In the near future, the re- searchers plan to conduct a prospective study to validate the new classification system’s ability to predict disease out- comes.
