Home use of devices for cleaning between the teeth (in addition to toothbrushing) to prevent and control gum diseases and tooth decay
Many people use toothbrushes to remove the plaque that builds up on the surface of teeth, but what about getting to the plaque between the teeth? Should we be using dental floss or interdental brushes to help? The relevant Cochrane Review was published in April 2019 and we asked the lead author, Helen Worthington from Cochrane Oral Health at the University of Manchester in England to let us know the answer.

"Plaque Attack" -- The Discovery Files
A team of engineers, dentists and biologists has developed a microscopic robotic cleaning crew, which goes by the acronym "CARs," whose catalytic activity could ably destroy biofilms, sticky amalgamations of bacteria enmeshed in a protective scaffolding. The scientists tested the minibots mettle in fighting tooth decay and infection from plaque; however, their biofilm-removal systems also could be valuable in a wide range of potential applications, from keeping water pipes and catheters clean to reducing the risk of implant contamination.

Fluoride mouthrinses for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
The Cochrane Oral Health Group has produced many reviews relevant to the prevention of tooth decay and, in July 2016, they updated their investigation of fluoride mouthrinses for children and adolescents. Helen Worthington, Co-ordinating Editor of the Group from the University of Manchester in the UK and one of the authors of this review, tells us what they found in this Evidence Pod.

Xylitol-containing products for preventing dental caries in children and adults
Cochrane Reviews cover a wide range of treatments across health and social care, and also look at ways to prevent health problems, sometimes with interventions that we might not think of as medicines or medical. In March 2015, the Cochrane Oral Health Group published one such review, looking at whether the use of the sweetener, xylitol, might prevent tooth decay. Philip Riley and Deborah Moore, from the Group based in Manchester in the UK, tell us more. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

Fluoride varnishes for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
One way to protect the teeth of children might be to coat the teeth with a fluoride varnish. The evidence in the July 2013 update to the Cochrane Review shows benefits for this approach, and Helen Worthington (left) and Jan Clarkson who are the Co-ordinating Editors of the Cochrane Oral Health Group and two of the team of authors on the review tell us more, starting with Helen.

Primary school-based behavioural interventions for preventing caries
One of the new reviews in May 2013 examines the evidence on things that might be done in schools to prevent tooth decay. One of the authors, Lucy O’Malley from the School of Dentistry at the University of Manchester in England, describes their findings. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)
