Purpose: To evaluate the effects of maternal education and dental visits on the age of pacifier withdrawal and caries incidence in children.Methods: The dental histories of mothers of 100 children with age group of 4 to 8 years were obtained along with their educational level, frequency of dental check-ups & age of pacifier withdrawal. Data were analysed by using independent samples t-test, one way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA.
Results: There was a significant effect of maternal education on the age of pacifier withdrawal and the caries incidence; higher the maternal education, younger the age of pacifier withdrawal and less caries incidence. The frequency of dental visits influenced relationship between maternal education and age of pacifier withdrawal.
Conclusion: Unhealthy oral habits such as prolonged pacifier use and the caries prevalence can be reduced with the regular dental check-ups and higher levels of mother education. So we recommend that children should start dental visits at an early age and maintain visits at regular intervals.

Purpose: To determine the relationship of the dental aesthetic index with desire for correction by orthodontic therapy in Bagalkot district.Methods: 100 school children of age group 13-16yrs from Bagalkot district were selected and divided into 50 boys and 50 girls. The subjects were interviewed using- Questionnaire having questions concerning smile, dental appearance and desire for orthodontic treatment. A cross-cultural index, "Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI)" was also assessed. The relationship between Dental aesthetic index and the self-assessment of relative appearance of teeth was determined.
Results: Statistically significant correlations were observed between subjective assessments of dental appearance and DAI (p = 0.0007) and need for orthodontic treatment and DAI (p = 0.0006). The strongest correlations were found between DAI and comparative evaluations of dental appearance (p < 0.005).
Conclusion: This study has shown significant correlations between DAI and subjective perceptions of dental appearance.
