Incorporation of Green Capping Agents to Reduce Silver-mediated Dentine Staining
In conclusion, capping agent incorporation significantly reduced SDF-mediated tooth staining. This reduction in staining is more dependent on the respective capping agent functional groups than concentration s per se. The potential of capping agents to minimize tooth staining of SDF was TA>G>CM>GA. (Source: Caries Research)

Teaching Radiographic Caries Detection and Treatment Planning: A Seminar Using an Audience Response System
This study presents a seminar model for teaching radiographic caries detection and treatment planning at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo. The seminar is based partly on an audience response system (ARS) and uses patient cases to focus on caries risk assessment and treatment planning. This paper describes the seminar design, implementation, learning outcomes, and observational study of variability in caries registrations and students ’ attitudes to use of ARS. Dental and dental hygiene students participate in two seminar modules. Module 1 aims to develop and increase individual student skills in radiographic ...

Augmented vision for dental students ’ education in detecting proximal carious lesions on bitewing radiographs: A randomized controlled trial
This two-arm, parallel, randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the effect of augmented vision (AV, using interactive color-overlays) on the education of dental students in detecting proximal carious lesions on bitewing radiographs compared to black-and-white textbook-like illustrations. Forty-eight preclinical third-year dental students were randomized using a random number generator into two learning groups: test (AV, allowing interaction with color-highlighted carious lesions, n=24) and control (showing the native radiograph and a black-and-white illustration displaying the carious lesion, n=24). Firstly, students h...

Teaching Tooth Wear Diagnosis, Risk Assessment, and Treatment Decisions Applying Inverted Classroom Combined with Case Presentation Model
In conclusion, the model applied improved significantly in performance, learning, and to some extent satisfaction. However, the motivation strategy applied resulted in only half of the students adhering/engaging to the complete interactive model of teaching. Further motivation strategies should be implemented to make the complete model more widely accepted by students. (Source: Caries Research)

Teaching tooth wear diagnosis, risk assessment and treatment decisions applying inverted classroom combined with case presentation model
This study explored the application of a model for teaching tooth wear diagnosis, risk assessment and treatment decisions to undergraduates at the UCLouvain, Belgium, based on inverted classroom combined with case presentations. The aim was to explain its implementation and assess improvement in learning, engagement and satisfaction. The hypothesis tested was that this model would enhance students ’ performance. This controlled clinical trial included 29 dental students in the test group and 30 in the control group. All students received instructions and pre-class material for reading via e-mail two weeks prior to class ...

Caries progression after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and the role of hyposalivation
Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) preceded by a conditioning regimen is an established treatment option for many haematological diseases. Decreased salivary flow rates after HSCT may increase caries risk. We aim to estimate the extent to which caries lesions develop or progress in adult HSCT recipients and assess its association with salivary flow rate. A multi-centre prospective observational study was conducted in which patients receiving HSCT were followed up for 18 months. We included 116 patients (median age 56 years, 43% female) from two medical centres in the Netherlands. Unstimulated (UWS) and stimula...

Detection of Cavitated Proximal Carious Lesions in Permanent Teeth: A Visual and Radiographic Assessment
Detection of proximal carious lesions involves the combination of clinical and radiographic methods, both with inherent difficulties. The present cross-sectional study is aimed at estimating the prevalence of cavitation in proximal carious lesions, based on a direct clinical assessment of previously detected radiographic lesions, in permanent molars and premolars. Proximal dental surfaces were radiographically evaluated using the ADA coding system and cavitation was determined through clinical visual examination of the surfaces after separation with elastomeric bands. One-hundred and twenty-six patients attending the denta...

Machine learning in the diagnosis and prognostic prediction of dental caries: a systematic review
We performed a systematic review to evaluate the success of machine learning algorithms in the diagnosis and prognostic prediction of dental caries. The review protocol was a priori registered in the PROSPERO, CRD42020183447. The search involved electronic bibliographic databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science, and grey literature until December 2020. We excluded review articles, case series, case reports, editorials, letters, comments, educational methodologies or assessments of robotic devices and articles with less than 10 participants or specimens. Two independent reviewers selected the studies and...

Clinical accuracy of two different criteria for the detection of caries lesions around restorations in primary teeth
In conclusion, the CARS system is more accurate in detecting caries around restorations in primary teeth than the FDI system, in general. However, the FDI recurrence of caries and FDI marginal adaptation present similar performance to the CARS system when the dentin threshold is considered. On the other hand, marginal staining is not an accurate parameter to evaluate caries around restorations. (Source: Caries Research)

Understanding children ’s attention to dental caries through eye-tracking
Visual attention is a significant gateway to a child's mind, and looking is one of the first behaviours young children develop. Untreated caries and the resulting poor dental aesthetics can have adverse emotional and social impacts on children's oral health-related quality of life due to its detrimental effects on self-esteem and self-concept. Therefore, we explored preschool children's eye movement patterns and visual attention to images with and without dental caries via eye movement analysis using hidden Markov models (EMHMM). We calibrated a convenience sample of 157 preschool children to the eye-tracker (Tobii Nano Pr...
