Monitoring of Erosive Tooth Wear with Intraoral Scanners In vitro
Intraoral scanners (IOS) have been used to quantify tooth wear, but so far they have not been systematically validated for monitoring of tissue loss. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate whether progression of tissue loss can be detected with an IOS and whether IOS values agree with those obtained with noncontacting profilometry (PRO) serving as a standard method. Model jaws were mounted in a phantom head positioned in a dental chair. Flattened areas were prepared on the non-load-bearing cusps of the first molars (model teeth;n = 16) in order to fix flat enamel samples with an experimental area and a reference...

Association of Oral Health Literacy and School Factors with Untreated Dental Caries among 12-Year-Olds: A Multilevel Approach
This study evaluated the association between oral health literacy (OHL), school factors, and untreated dental caries in 12-year-old Brazilian adolescents using a multilevel approach. A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out with 740 adolescents randomly selected from private and public schools in Campina Grande, Brazil. Two dentists were trained and calibrated to diagnose dental caries using the Nyvad index and OHL using the Brazilian Rapid Estimate of Literacy in Dentistry (BREALD-30). The caregivers of the adolescents reported demographic data (sex, skin color, and socioeconomic status). Data of school fa...

Breastfeeding and Childhood Dental Caries: Results from a Socially Diverse Birth Cohort Study
This study was part of the Generation R Study, a prospective multiethnic cohort study conducted in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. In total, 4,146 children were included in the analyses. Information about feeding practices was derived from delivery reports and questionnaires during infancy. Caries was measured via intraoral photographs at the age of 6 years and defined as decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft). Negative binomial hurdle regression analyses were used to study the associations between several infant feeding practices and childhood caries. The prevalence of dental caries at the age of 6 years was 27.9% (n = 1,1...

Clinical Effect of Two Fluoride Varnishes in Caries-Active Preschool Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In conclusion, the 2 fluoride varnishes demonstrated an equal capacity to reduce the incidence of caries in caries-active preschool children over a 12-month period in comparison with a control group.Caries Res (Source: Caries Research)

Examining the Relationship between Social and School Environment and Children ’s Caries Experience Using Primary and Secondary Data: A Cluster Analysis
Dental caries is still prevalent worldwide, even with advances in preventive and curative measures. The aim was to examine clustering patterns of socioeconomic and environmental characteristics of schools and their associations with caries experience of schoolchildren. An epidemiological survey with cross-sectional design was conducted in 2014/2015 and included 5,213 students (aged 2 –11 years) from 38 public schools of Carapicuíba (SP, Brazil). Primary data consisted of dental examinations performed at schools by 6 calibrated examiners to evaluate caries experience (dmf/DMFT index). Secondary data were extracted from t...

In vitro Study of the Role of Human Neutrophil Enzymes on Root Caries Progression
The role of the host immune system in caries progression is mainly speculative, and it is believed that it entails the enzymatic degradation of the dentin organic matrix. The aim of this study was to evaluate the proteolytic effect of human neutrophil enzymes on root caries progression. For this, specimens of bovine root dentin were divided into 4 groups (n = 30): caries (C), caries + neutrophils (C + N), no caries (Control), and no caries + neutrophils (Control + N).Streptococcus mutans biofilm (105 CFU/mL) was grown on the root surface to artificially induce root carious lesions (C and C + N groups). Specimens were then ...

Association of Dietary Fluoride Intake and Diet Variables with Dental Caries in Adolescents from the ELEMENT Cohort Study
To examine the association of dietary fluoride intake, total carbohydrate consumption and other key dietary variables with dental caries experience among adolescents, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted in a sample of 402 participants from the Early Life Exposures in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants cohort. The presence and severity of dental caries were assessed using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) to calculate the number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth or surfaces (D1MFT/D4MFT). The dietary intake of fluoride, energy, carbohydrates, and food groups was estimated using a valid...
