Development of dental caries and risk factors between 1 and 7  years of age in areas of high risk for dental caries in Stockholm, Sweden
ConclusionsFor toddlers, fluoride varnish does not seem to be an adequate prevention tool. Brushing with fluoride toothpaste from 1 year of age could not arrest caries development. Immigrant background was the strongest predictor. A new toolbox as well as collaborative upstream actions for reducing free-sugar intake are needed.

Early predictors of childhood caries among 4-year-old children: a population-based study in north-eastern France
ConclusionsThis study highlighted the impact of the family environment on the oral health status of the preschool children. The identification of the risk factors should allow to strengthen preventive measures and initiate oral health education program for children and their family.

Participation of paediatric patients in primary dental care before and after a dental general anaesthetic
Conclusion Improvements are required in strategies employed to support high caries risk children pre- and post-DGA to facilitate a higher incidence of attendance and preventative intervention with PCDs. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Does the etching strategy influence the bonding of universal adhesive systems to primary teeth? A systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies
ConclusionsThis systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies provides evidence that universal adhesives can be used in both etching strategies in primary dentin. The evidence is currently insufficient about whether selective acid etching of primary enamel is necessary when universal adhesive systems are used.

Adhesion of three types of fissure sealant in saliva-contaminated and noncontaminated conditions: an in vitro study
ConclusionNeither cotton pellet-drying nor air-drying effectively removed saliva from the contaminated enamel surface. Glass ionomer-based FS showed the highest PM and the lowest SBS in contaminated and noncontaminated conditions. The highest SBS was obtained with resin-based FS.

Reliability of software-based assessment of paediatric preparations for preformed metal crowns in the simulation laboratory
ConclusionThis method was useful and reliable for measuring features of PMC preparation, but with some limitations. Improving the software to provide specific assistance tools would empower greater uptake of this method as an adjunct to traditional visual grading tool in paediatric dentistry preclinical teaching.

Tooth-coloured materials for class II restorations in primary molars: systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionCR, RMGI and CO presented no statistical differences. In comparison to other tooth-coloured materials, studies on GI were too few to allow recommendations about its use. More studies on HGVI are needed for evidence-based recommendations to be made. The evidence extracted from this meta-analysis was not strong enough (moderate), due to the small number of RCTs and the risk of bias ranging from high to moderate. More, well-designed RCTs comparing tooth-coloured materials for primary molar Class II restorations are necessary. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)

Is the mode of childbirth delivery linked to the prevalence of early childhood caries? A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionWe found a weak but inconsistent association between the mode of delivery and the prevalence of early childhood caries. Further studies based on representative, prospective cohorts reporting a standardized core outcome set are required to answer the research question with higher certainty.
