Pathway of Effects of Socioeconomic Status on Rural Left-behind Children to Receive Oral Health Services: A Structural Equation Modeling.

In a rural area with a high proportion of left-behind children (LBC), we aimed to identify the pathway of influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on LBCs to receive oral health services after individualized advice. Between September and October 2020, in a rural area of Yunnan, a survey of 238 LBC and 210 non-left-behind children (NLBC) showed that 91.9% and 94.

Effects of Parental Migration on Dental Caries of Six- to Eight-Year-Old Children Using Structural Equation Modeling.

This cross-sectional study aimed to document the relationship between dental caries, oral health behaviors, and the duration of parental migration in rural Yunnan, China, from September to December 2020. Seven rural primary schools with high parental migration were studied. The oral health status of 500 six- to eight-year-old students was assessed using clinical examination and caregivers' interviews.

Etiology of Malocclusion and Dominant Orthodontic Problems in Mixed Dentition: A Cross-sectional Study in a Group of Thai Children Aged 8-9 Years.

Background: Etiology of malocclusion can be the cause of deviation in the skeleton, dental, and soft tissue development in children. Identifying etiology of malocclusion and dominant orthodontic problems as well as early detection could help in future effective treatment, management, and public health planning.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among 202 children.

A longitudinal study of early childhood caries in 9- to 18-month-old Thai infants.

Objective: To examine the rate and pattern of early childhood caries (ECC) development and to investigate the transitional changes of the carious lesions during a follow-up period of 3-9 months.

Methods: A longitudinal observational community-based survey of 599 children, 9-18 months old. The children's dental examinations were first carried out at the age of 9 months with re-examination at 12 and 18 months by five dentists using standardized methods.
