ConclusionsWithin the limitations of the present study, we found a relationship between consumption of free sugars early in life and dental caries prevalence at 5  years. It therefore seems important to embrace and emphasise the current sugar recommendations in primary and dental care to educate caregivers to avoid serving free sugars to their children before the age of 2 years.

Patient-reported outcome measures in individuals with amelogenesis imperfecta: a systematic review
ConclusionThe limited quantity of research on PROMS from patients with AI indicates a significant impact of OHRQoL and daily life. A large variety of approaches have been presented in the articles. Patients report concerns of esthetics, hypersensitivity, function, and a general impact on well-being and social interaction. This highlights the importance for the need of early dental treatment.Prospero registration number256875. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)
