A bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited papers concerning dental fluorosis
A high number of citations can indicate the potential of any specific paper to influence other research and generate changes in clinical practice. Analyzing the most-cited papers in a certain scientific field may assist researchers to identify the influential papers as well their main characteristics. The present study aimed to analyze the 100 most-cited papers concerning dental fluorosis (DF) through a bibliometric review. A search was performed in the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoS-CC) in November 2021. The papers were displayed in descending order according to the number of citations in WoS-CC. Two indepen...

Is patient ’s caries activity associated with caries increment among adolescents, regardless of caries experience?
This 2.5-year cohort study investigated whether patient ’s caries activity is independently associated with caries increment among adolescents, regardless of previous caries experience, in a sample of 801 adolescents from South Brazil. Caries examination was performed at baseline (12y) and at follow-up (14–15y). Caries activity was significantly asso ciated with caries increment even after adjustment for sex, socioeconomic status, type of school, and previous caries experience at both cavity and non-cavitated levels. Caries-active adolescents had approximately 2-fold higher risk of caries increment than those without c...

Effect of CPP-ACP added to Milk, Chewing Gum and Candy on Dental Caries: a Systematic Review
Casein is one of the most studied proteins with activity against dental caries. In particular, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) has shown promising remineralizing properties. In vivo evidence on the anticaries potential of CPP-ACP added to foodstuffs is elusive, nonetheless. Hence, this systematic review aimed at determining whether the use of CPP-ACP added to foodstuffs has a remineralizing or inhibitory action on dental demineralization either in vivo or in situ. The review protocol followed the PRISMA-P criteria and was registered in PROSPERO. PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases were ...

Cost-effectiveness of pit and fissure sealing at schools for caries prevention in China: A Markov modeling analysis
The World Health Organization states that the application of pit and fissure sealants (PFS) is an effective way to prevent dental caries. Estimates of potential health and economic impacts of PFS upon school-age children provide crucial evidence to support the extension of PFS coverage to all target populations. The China Children's Oral Disease Comprehensive Intervention Project was launched in 2009 to provide free oral health examinations, PFS application, and oral health education for children aged seven to nine years. However, the national-level health and economic impacts of the program are unclear. To provide higher-...

The Impact of Socio-Environmental, Individual, and Biological Factors on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life among Preschool Children: A Cohort Study with 3-Year Follow-Up
In conclusion, the risk of worsening and severe worsening of OHRQoL was higher in preschoolers with extensiv e caries at follow-up and among those who did not undergo dental treatment. Furthermore, severe worsening of OHRQoL was also impacted by an increase in the number of children in the household.Caries Res (Source: Caries Research)

Three-Dimensional Assessment of Radiographic Changes after Indirect Pulp Capping Using Silver Diamine Fluoride with or without Potassium Iodide in Young Permanent Teeth (12-Month RCT)
The aim of this study was to conduct a three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of radiographic changes after indirect pulp capping (IPC) with silver diamine fluoride (SDF) with or without potassium iodide (KI) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in deep carious young permanent molars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). 108 first permanent molars with deep occlusal cavitated caries lesions, in forty-nine 6- to 9-year-old children, were randomly allocated to one of 3 groups (n = 36) and treated with SDF+KI, SDF, and RMGIC as IPC materials. CBCT scans were taken at 0 and 12 months to assess tertiary dentin forma...

Effects of Cathepsin K Inhibitors on Dentin Erosion: An in vitro Study
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of catK inhibitors on dentin erosion. Dentin beams were eroded (4 times/d for 5 days) and immersed in deionized water (negative control), 0.1M NaCl, 0.3M NaCl, 0.5M NaCl, or 1 μm odanacatib (eachn = 16) for 30 min after each erosive challenge. Erosive dentin loss (EDL) and demineralized organic matrix (DOM) thickness were evaluated profilometrically. Additionally, dentin beams were demineralized, immersed in the respective solutions for 30 min each (n = 5), and then incubated in artificial saliva for 5 days. Dentin collage degradation was evaluated by quantifying the levels of the ...
