This cross-sectional study was delineated aiming to evaluate the oral health conditions of children from the mid-west region of Sbo Paulo, Brazil, and compare it with the WHO goals for the year 2000. In 1990, an epidemiological survey was carried out in Slo Paulo State, according to the methodology proposed by WHIO (1997). In the ftrst phase of sampling the municipalities were selected at random according their sizes and the fluoridation of the water supplies, by region; in the second phase the sample unities (schools), and is the third phase, the sample elements (subjects) were selected. This paper reports the prevalence of caries (DMF1), at the age and 10 years, before and after the tooth brushing: I- Mean OHI - S: 1.07 and 1.20; 1.92 and of 12 years-old, for the municipalities of DIR-X-Bauru region. The mean DMFT values for the 1.20; 1.75 and 1.09; 1.03 and 1.15 respectively; 2 - Mean Tureskcy's: 3.70 and 2.65; 3.72 and big, medium and small cities with water fluoridation were 3.42, 7.15 and 3.44, in this order. For 2.63; 3.55 and 2.3 2;- 3.59 and 2.29 respectively; 3 - The mean P11 observed were 1.03 and 079; the cities without water fluoridation, mean DMFT values were 3.49, 6.31 and 5.46, in the same 1.09 and 0.02; 1.11 and 003; 1.16 and 0.03 respectively. The statistical analysis (p < 0,05) order. In spite of implementation of preventive procedures in oral health in SOo Paulo State, there showed that the difference observed between the before and after toothbrushing conditions was is a very high prevalence of dental caries in the medium-sized municipalities, regardless of water significant when measured by the three indexes. The evaluating capacity of the indexes was also fluoridation. This fact is a point of discussion about the importance of evaluating some statistically different; the P1l showed the poorest discriminating efficacy. No statistical difference socioeconomic factors, besides the vigilance of quality and regularity of water fluoridation. was observed between ages.

objective of epidemiological research is understand the mechanism of illnesses
and to provide alternatives for prevention. Faclal fracture in childhood is pathoigcnesis a very rare condition. Differences between the girowing and the adult patient includes
time of healing, development stage of dentition and anatomic characteristics. The objective of shin research was to perform a retrospective study of the epidemiologic characteristics of facial fracture in children hospitalized for treatment. Data were collected from medical records and radiographic examns of patients under 12 years of age, from 1992 to 5997. Descriptive statistic was performed and 33 individuals were selected.

Scientific observations show that chihdren 0 - 2 years old with S,..mutana detectable will have dental caries prevalence significantly higher than the children which the teeth were colonized later. It means that when the MS are stablished early in the dental plaque of the deciduous teeth, the dental caries experience will be highest an is number as in severity. The aim of the present study was evaluahe the anticariogenic effect of the complex xylitol-fluoride, through the use of a pacifier, used before the baby sleep at night. After 24 months a total of 71 babies was in the study, 37 in the controh group and 34 in the xylitol-fluoride group. The findings showed the presence of MS in 29.45% of the babies belong the test group white in the control group the percent was 43.2%. The sample decreased about 40%/, possibly represented by babies who stopped the use of the pacifier during the tent period. The results suggest that the use of xylitol-fluoride by the babies 6 -30 months old- may help to prevent the early dental adherence of MS in deciduous tooth DUttine
