An epidemiological survey was conducted in Paulínia, São Paulo State, Brazil, in 2000, aimed at verifying the prevalence of principal oral health problems, using the DMFT index and WHO diagnostic criteria. The sample (1,151) was randomly selected. The dmft was 1.90 in 5-year-olds, with 54.2% caries-free. DMFT was 1.00 in 12-year-olds, with 46.4% caries-free in the permanent dentition. Fluorosis prevalence in 7 to 12-year-olds was 30.5%, mostly the very mild form (22.9%). Prevalence of opacities and hypoplasias was 9.1%. In adults, the dental care index was 55.4% and an average of 21.30 teeth presented caries experience. In the elderly, DMFT was 29.50, consisting predominantly of extracted teeth (93.0%).

Article Synopsis
- Primary liver cancers, like HCC, ICC, and cHCC-CCA, are major causes of cancer-related deaths, and distinguishing between these types can be challenging due to their similar features.
- This study analyzed 140 patients who had liver tumor resections, reclassifying tumors and comparing the clinicopathological characteristics and survival rates of HCC, ICC, and cHCC-CCA.
- The results showed that most patients had HCC, with worse overall survival and disease-free survival for ICC and cHCC-CCA, highlighting the need for careful evaluation to identify cholangiolar components, which signal a poorer prognosis.
