Microcavitated (ICDAS 3) Carious Lesion Arrest with Resin or Glass Ionomer Sealants in First Permanent Molars: A Randomized Controlled Trial – Science Sunday
Microcavitated (ICDAS 3) Carious Lesion Arrest with Resin or Glass Ionomer Sealants in First Permanent Molars: A Randomized Controlled Trial A main strategy for minimally invasive treatment (MIT) for carious lesions is sealants. Sealing non-cavitated carious lesions has shown to be … [Read more...] about Microcavitated (ICDAS 3) Carious Lesion Arrest with Resin or Glass Ionomer Sealants in First Permanent Molars: A Randomized Controlled Trial – Science Sunday

Retention and Remineralization Effect of Moisture Tolerant Resin-based Sealant and Glass Ionomer Sealant on Non-cavitated Pit and Fissure Caries: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Dental sealants have been used as a preventative for dental caries, retention and marginal integration are key to decreasing the incidence of caries in pit and fissures that have been sealed. It has been postulated that the adoption of pit and fissure sealants as a part of minimally invasive … [Read more...] about Retention and Remineralization Effect of Moisture Tolerant Resin-based Sealant and Glass Ionomer Sealant on Non-cavitated Pit and Fissure Caries: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Evidence-based Strategies for the Minimally Invasive Treatment of Carious Lesions: Review of the Literature – Science Sunday
Evidence-based Strategies for the Minimally Invasive Treatment of Carious Lesions: Review of the Literature Treatment of carious lesions is currently solely restorative. Other minimally invasive treatments are great alternatives for managing carious lesions. A recent review published in 2018 … [Read more...] about Evidence-based Strategies for the Minimally Invasive Treatment of Carious Lesions: Review of the Literature – Science Sunday
Science Sunday: Sealing Carious Tissue Using Resin and Glass Ionomer Cements
There is an abundance of evidence that indicates sealants are effective in the prevention and progression of non-cavitated carious lesions. The authors of a study published in 2018 pondered the possibility that sealing cavitated lesions without carious tissue removal could be an option in minimizing … [Read more...] about Science Sunday: Sealing Carious Tissue Using Resin and Glass Ionomer Cements
Low Microbiome in Populations with a Low and High Prevalence of Caries
Previous studies have shown the oral microbiome stays stable unless it is disturbed by medication, disease, low pH, or significant changes in diet. Dysbiosis of the oral microbiome by colonization of aciduric and acidophilic bacteria is associated with dental caries. In a clinical study published in … [Read more...] about Low Microbiome in Populations with a Low and High Prevalence of Caries
