Citing the National Study of Prevalence of Oral Diseases 2008, the current study "covered children and young people who attended the educational establishments of public education." In the case of a nationwide study, the authors state that "all studies conducted with students who attend these institutions (private institutions) illustrate the prevalence and severity of oral diseases, lower or much lower as compared to those attend the public institutions." So the authors should have made clear that the national picture, overall, will be even better for the conclusions they draw from the tests carried out to the universe of public facilities.
It would be great to undertake a more thorough approach to detect the completion pointed - the severity of oral diseases a smaller effect on students in private schools. What factors may explain the differences in terms of oral health among children attending public schools and children attending private schools? We will be well to consider that this is due to the social background of children and the differences have more to do with the responsibilities (not) be borne by the various public educational institutions and private? What are the strengths and advantages that the frequency of private schools that can and should be used by public schools (and otherwise)?
The national study it produced "a collection of saliva and plaque to the young age of 12, which will serve the epidemiological study of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, conducted by the Institute of Health Sciences Abel Salazar, and aims to provide support for production of a vaccine against tooth decay." Without doubt, an excellent initiative which should have full support of public officials, including those linked to health and research.
