Association Between Periodontitis and Nosocomial Pneumonia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies
Conclusions: The evidence demonstrates a positive association between periodontitis and nosocomial pneumonia. Individuals with periodontitis admitted to the ICU were more likely to present nosocomial pneumonia than individuals without periodontitis. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

Is Bleaching Effective in Managing Post-orthodontic White-spot Lesions? A Systematic Review
Conclusions: The findings from the present systematic review could not support or refute bleaching as an effective method for management of post-orthodontic WSLs. Because most of the studies in this field are in vitro and solid scientific evidence of low risk of bias is scare, further prospective in vivo studies are necessary.

Effects of Different Remineralisation Agents and Adhesives Around Orthodontic Brackets: Is There a Relationship Between Remineralisation and Shear Bond Strength?
Conclusions: In bonding with Transbond, the Duraphat group demonstrated greater improvement than other remineralisation agents. In the RMGIC group, the best remineralisation was obtained by TM. The Transbond XT and Duraphat combination provided the highest SBS values. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

Impact of Behavioural Factors and Living Conditions on Dental Caries Among Pupils from Shanghai and Jiangxi Province in China: A School-based Cross-sectional Study
Conclusions: Childhood caries in the rural area was far more severe than that in the urban area. This disparity was determined by several factors such as the high proportion of left-behind children in the rural area (e.g. children who remain in rural regions of China while their parents leave to work in urban areas). Our government should put the prevention of caries among rural children at a higher priority in the near future to narrow the gap between rural and urban areas.

Low-level Laser Therapy in Combination with Desensitising Agent Reduces Dentin Hypersensitivity in Fluorotic and Non-fluorotic Teeth - A Randomised, Controlled, Double-blind Clinical Trial
Conclusion: LLLT+PN alleviated DH at all time intervals, with a greater effect in the fluorotic group. However, LLLT+PN was more efficacious in reducing DH at 12 weeks post treatment in the fluorotic group. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

Do Adhesive Flash-free Brackets Affect Bacterial Plaque in Patients with Adequate Oral Hygiene? A Randomised Controlled Clinical and Microbiological Assessment
Yetkiner, Enver / G ürlek, Önder / Işık, Abdülkadir / Lappin, David F. / Buduneli, NurcanPage 533 - 539Purpose: To compare adhesive flash-free (FF) and adhesive pre-coated (APC) brackets in terms of plaque retention and constituents, gingival biomarkers and enamel demineralisation.Materials and Methods: Fifty adolescents (mean age ± SD; 14.23 ± 0.15 years, age range: 13-18 years) were randomly distributed to receive FF or APC ceramic brackets in the maxillary right or left quadrant. Plaque and gingival indices, quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) imaging, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and plaque sampling...

Oral Health Education Improved Oral Health Knowledge, Attitudes, and Plaque Scores in Thai Third-grade Students: A Randomised Clinical Trial
Conclusion: The children receiving oral health education provided by trained schoolteachers had statistically significantly greater oral health knowledge and more positive attitudes towards oral health than the children who had not received the programme. No statistically significant differences in plaque scores were found after 3 months. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)

Overexpression of MMPs Functions as a Prognostic Biomarker for Oral Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion: MMP-9 and -2 overexpression was associated with poor prognostes in oral cancer patients. Therefore, early and accurate detection of MMP-9 and -2 levels can help improve the prognosis of MMP-9- and MMP-2-positive oral cancer patients. (Source: Oral health and Preventive dentistry)
