Vegetarian diets are becoming increasingly popular. Having knowledge on the effects of this diet on oral health is pertinent in providing care for patients that consume a vegetarian diet. A recent systematic review published in June 2019 in the journal Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, the … [Read more...] about Vegetarian Diet and its Influence on Dental Health: A Systematic Review – Science Sunday
Study the Relation between Dietary Intake and Oral Hygiene and Dental Caries during Childhood – Science Sunday
The most common disease among children is dental caries with a prevalence up to 8 times higher than asthma. Dietary sugars are known to play a role in the development and progression of dental caries. In a recent cross-sectional study published in 2021 in the Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences the … [Read more...] about Study the Relation between Dietary Intake and Oral Hygiene and Dental Caries during Childhood – Science Sunday
Modeling Health Belief and Predictors of Oral Health and Dental Anxiety Among Adolescents based on Health Belief Model: A Cross-sectional Study – Science Sunday
A hypothesis that a vicious cycle exists between dental anxiety, oral health and oral health status has been proposed by multiple researchers that focus on this area of research. As clinicians, many of us have seen this firsthand. A recently published cross-sectional study in the journal BMC Public … [Read more...] about Modeling Health Belief and Predictors of Oral Health and Dental Anxiety Among Adolescents based on Health Belief Model: A Cross-sectional Study – Science Sunday
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
Beyond Streptococcus mutans: Clinical Implications of the Evolving Dental Caries Etiology Paradigms and its Associated Microbiome – Science Sunday
Untreated caries in permanent teeth is the most prevalent human disease worldwide, according to the 2015 Global Burden of Disease report. Dental caries is now understood to be multifactorial, with no single causation pathway. In an article published in 2018 in the British Dental Journal Philip et al … [Read more...] about Beyond Streptococcus mutans: Clinical Implications of the Evolving Dental Caries Etiology Paradigms and its Associated Microbiome – Science Sunday
