Soluble Fluoride in Na < sub > 2 < /sub > FPO < sub > 3 < /sub > /CaCO < sub > 3 < /sub > -Based Toothpaste as an Indicator of Systemically Bioavailable Fluoride
Fluoride chemically soluble in toothpaste is an indicator of fluoride bioavailability when the teeth are brushed, and the same should be expected systemically when toothpaste is ingested. A 4-phases study was conducted, in which 8 participants were subjected in each phase to one of the assigned treatment groups: group I: fresh sample of a Na2FPO3/CaCO3 toothpaste with 1,334 μg F/g of total soluble fluoride (TSF) and groups II–IV: aged samples of toothpaste presenting TSF concentrations of 1,128, 808, and 687 μg F/g, respectively. In all phases, the participants ingested an amount of toothpaste equivalent to 70.0 μg F/...

Combination effect of diurnal exposure to sucrose and nocturnal exposure to lactose on enamel demineralization
We have hypothesized that the association between human milk and caries in breastfeeding children could be explained by the combination of a diurnal cariogenic diet with the nocturnal lactose fermentation, conditions simulated in this experimental study. Cariogenic biofilm was formed on bovine enamel slabs, which were exposed 8x/day for 3 min to a 10% sucrose solution, simulating a highly cariogenic diurnal diet, or 50 mM NaCl solution (control). Simulating the nocturnal retention of milk in mouth, biofilms were transferred to culture medium containing 0.7% lactose for 2 h, or only to culture medium (control). Four groups ...

Early Childhood Caries and Iron Deficiency Anaemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Identification of the association between Early Childhood Caries (ECC) and Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) will aid paediatricians and paediatric dentists to enhance health promotion measures to reduce the related morbidity in children. This systematic review aims to determine an evidence-based association between ECC and IDA. A systematic search was carried out from MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, LILACS, Cochrane Oral Health Group ’s Specialized Register, CINAHL via EBSCO, Web of Science, and Scopus up to May 2020. Hand searching and grey literature screening were also conducted. Cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort stu...

In vitro evaluation of surface free energy of dentin after treatment with sodium trimetaphosphate associated or not with fluoride, exposed or not to calcium
It has been stated that sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP) promotes a more anionic dentin surface inducing greater calcium and phosphate precipitation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro the surface free energy ( γs) of dentin after treatment with TMP associated or not with fluoride (F), exposed or not to calcium (Ca), as well as the adsorption of TMP, F, and Ca by dentin. Bovine dentin blocks (n=12 blocks/group) were treated with solutions containing TMP at 0%, 1%, 3% or 9% (w/v) followed or not by the app lication of Ca. These solutions were or were not associated to 1100 ppm F. F, Ca, and TMP were determi...

Solutions and gels containing a sugarcane-derived cystatin (CaneCPI-5) reduce enamel and dentin erosion in vitro
The effect of solutions and gels containing a sugarcane-derived cystatin (CaneCPI-5) on the protection against enamel and dentin erosion in vitro was evaluated. Bovine enamel and dentin specimens were divided into two groups (n=135 and 153/group for enamel and dentin, respectively) that were treated with solutions or chitosan gels containing 0.1 or 0.25 mg/ml CaneCPI-5. The positive controls for solutions and gels were Elmex Erosion Protection ™ solution and NaF gel (12,300 ppm F), respectively. Deionized water and chitosan gel served as controls, respectively. The solutions were first applied on the specimens for 1 min ...

Effectiveness of School Dental Screening to Reduce Untreated Caries: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of dental screening plus referral to a specific treating facility (intervention arm) against screening plus advice letter to see a dentist (traditional screening, and control arm) on changes in untreated caries among primary schoolchildren. A cluster-randomized, assessor-blinded, controlled trial was conducted in 16 public schools in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Children aged 6 –11 years without any compromising medical condition were eligible for inclusion. Children were examined for dental caries at baseline and 12 months later. Parents reported their socio-demograph...
