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 d) and immersed in deionized water (negative control), 0.1 M NaCl, 0.3 M NaCl, 0.5 M NaCl, or 1 μM odanacatib (each n = 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 incub ated in artificial saliva for 5 d. Dentin collage degradation was evaluated by quantifying the levels of the C-t...

Primary Dentition Caries Patterns as Predictors of Permanent Dentition Caries: A Prospective Cohort Study
In conclusion, any dental caries experience in early childhood is strongly predictive of dental caries experience in early adolescence. Primary dentition carious lesions on the post erior teeth or occlusal surfaces and the presence of cavitated lesions were stronger predictors.Caries Res (Source: Caries Research)

Primary Dentition caries patterns as predictors of permanent dentition caries: a prospective cohort study
In conclusion, any dental caries experience in early childhood is st rongly predictive of dental caries experience in early adolescence. Primary dentition carious lesions on posterior teeth or occlusal surfaces and the presence of cavitated lesions were stronger predictors. (Source: Caries Research)

Secondary Caries Detection and Treatment Decision according to Two Criteria and the Impact of a Three-Dimensional Intraoral Scanner on Gap Evaluation
This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro performance in detecting caries around composite restorations in permanent posterior teeth and the impact of treatment decisions of two visual criteria: International Dental Federation (FDI) criteria and the Caries Associated with Restorations and Sealants (CARS) system. The correlation among secondary caries and the presence of gap measured with a three-dimensional (3D) intraoral scanner was also aimed. One hundred sixteen teeth were assessed by a trained and calibrated examiner according to the FDI criteria or CARS system. A second examiner measured the gap on the 3D models using...

OXIS Contacts and Approximal Caries in Preschool Children: A Prospective Cohort Study
The present prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of OXIS contact areas, namely, O (open type), X (point type), I (straight type), and S (curved type) in the development of approximal caries. We conducted this study among 953 school children with 3,812 contacts in Puducherry, India. At baseline, the contacts were assessed in accordance with OXIS criteria. At the end of 12 months, two calibrated dentists measured dental caries following the International Caries Detection and Assessment (ICDAS) criteria. Information about feeding practices, diet, and oral hygiene was collected by means of a st...
