Description
Introduction Oral diseases, represented primarily by dental caries and gingivitis, are major health problems among school-age children and adolescents. Despite the improvement in oral health, as seen in the systematic decline in dental caries observed in industrialised countries, the contrary is the case in many developing countries [WHO, 2000; Marthaler, 2004; Whelton, 2004]. Also, in many developed countries a trend for a stagnation in caries decline has been noted [Haugejorden and Birkeland, 2002; Stecksen-Blicks et al., 2004]. As a result, dental caries is still common among children and adolescents, affecting approximately 80% of 15-year-olds [Hugoson et al., 2008], while gingivitis is present in a majority of children and adolescents, worldwide [Jenkins and Papapanou, 2001].
