- The hypothesis of this study was that toothpaste slurry rinsing, combined with other simple postbrushing steps (the modified fluoride toothpaste technique [MFTT]), would reduce the number of decayed and filled tooth surfaces.

- This article describes the usefulness of Cariogram software in three orthodontic patients with high-, medium-, and low-risk caries profiles. Caries-related indicators and information needed for the Cariogram model were registered. The prebonding decayed and filled surfaces (DFS) indices for patient 1 (15-year-old girl) and patient 2 (18-year-old woman) were > 5, while in patient 3 (15-year-old boy), the DFS index was < 2. The data were entered into the interactive Cariogram software, which shows the various caries-related indicators. Patients 1, 2, and 3 had 6%, 58%, and 87%, respectively, actual chance of avoiding new caries. Patient 1 had high lactobacilli and medium mutans streptococci scores and a high caries risk. Patient 2 had a high DFS index and low buffer capacity, resulting in a medium caries risk. Patient 3 had low mutans streptococci and high lactobacilli scores and a low DFS index, resulting in a low caries risk. The Cariogram is available free online and is a useful educational model to illustrate a patient's caries risk. World J Orthod 2010;11:160-167.

- Objective. To evaluate oral fluoride (F) retention after using fluoridated toothpastes, rinsing solutions and chewing sticks (Miswaks) in orthodontic patients with and without orthodontic appliances. Material and methods. Nine orthodontic patients, with a mean age of 16 years, were included in a randomized, cross-over, experimental study. Six different home-care F products, two NaF toothpastes (0.32% and 1.1%), two NaF mouthwash solutions (0.05% and 0.2%) and two NaF-impregnated Miswaks chewing sticks (0.05% and 0.5%), were used both during the orthodontic treatment and 1 week after debonding. Unstimulated whole saliva and approximal saliva were collected from two interdental sites, before and up to 60 min after using each product for 2 min. The retention of F was calculated as the area under the 60-min F-clearance curve (AUC). Results. In general, the F concentrations at the various sites were higher before than after debonding. Moreover, the products with a high F content (toothpaste, mouthwash and Miswaks) resulted in higher F retention than the corresponding products with a lower F content. In whole saliva, the highest AUC values were found in patients using 0.2% NaF mouthwash, followed by 1.1% NaF toothpaste (p < 0.05). In approximal saliva, the retention values were highest after using 0.5% NaF-impregnated Miswaks in patients wearing orthodontic appliances (p < 0.001). Conclusions. The insertion of fixed orthodontic appliances appears to favor oral F retention for all the tested home-care F products. In addition, products with a high F content increase oral F retention.

- PURPOSE: The objectives of the present investigation were to study fluoride (F) release from NaF-impregnated chewing sticks (Miswaks) in vitro and to study the F clearance in saliva and the F oral retention in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Both fresh and old Miswaks were collected from 10 stores in Saudi Arabia and fluoridated in 0.01%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1% and 3% NaF. The F release was studied in vitro up to 60 min. In vivo, 10 subjects used Miswaks fluoridated in 0.01%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1% and 3% NaF for 2 min (Series I). The subjects were asked to spit out all saliva in a beaker during a 12-min period without swallowing. The F present in the obtained saliva was considered to represent the 'F retention'. In Series II, the same type of Miswaks were used as in Series I. Repeated whole saliva unstimulated samples were collected before and up to 30 min after. These two series were carried out in another 10 subjects (Series III and IV), but with Miswaks fluoridated in a more narrow range of concentration (0.05% to 0.5% NaF). Brushing with 1 g of F-containing dentifrice (0.32% NaF) was used as a control. RESULTS: There were only small differences between fresh and old Miswaks, but great variations were observed between Miswaks that were purchased from different stores. Miswaks fluoridated in 0.1% to 0.5% NaF could be considered as an 'optimum level' with respect to both the F concentration in saliva and the F retention. CONCLUSIONS: It is recommended to use fresh Miswaks impregnated in 0.1% NaF or a maximum of 0.5% NaF for a day, as they are interesting and safe products for the prevention of caries and could be widely used in countries such as Saudi Arabia.

Idrottare - en riskgrupp för karies och tanderosion

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tandhälsan i Skandinavien har under de senaste 30 åren förbättrats i alla åldrar. De munsjukdomar som dominerar är karies och tandlossning, men under senare år ökar även erosionsskador. Förekomsten av dessa tandproblem varierar i olika åldrar och man kan tydligt definiera olika riskgrupper. Det är till exempel välkänt att idrottare har en förhöjd risk för att utveckla framförallt karies och erosionsskador.

- There is a lack of clinical studies comparing dentifrices with high fluoride (F) concentration. The aim was to evaluate a dentifrice containing 5,000 ppm F compared to a dentifrice containing 1,450 ppm F in caries-active adolescents. The design was a 2-year, single-blind randomized controlled trial and 211 adolescents of 279 (76%) completed the trial. The subjects were divided into two groups and were given one of the assigned F dentifrices for daily unsupervised toothbrushing: (1) Duraphat 5,000 ppm F and (2) Pepsodent Superfluor 1,450 ppm F, both as NaF. The outcome variables were caries incidence and progression of proximal and occlusal caries. The subjects were asked to fill in a questionnaire to evaluate their compliance and they were divided into two subgroups: subgroup A, excellent compliance, and subgroup B, poor compliance. The latter group (28%) comprised the subjects who did not brush twice a day or did not use the dentifrice regularly. Adolescents using 5,000 ppm F toothpaste had significantly lower progression of caries compared to those using 1,450 ppm F toothpaste (A: p < 0.01, B: p < 0.001), with a prevented fraction of 40%. Subjects using 5,000 ppm F toothpaste had significantly lower caries incidence for compliance B compared to those using 1,450 ppm F toothpaste (p < 0.05); the prevented fraction was 42%. This may indicate that 5,000 ppm F toothpaste has a greater impact on individuals who do not use toothpaste regularly or do not brush twice a day. Thus, 5,000 ppm F toothpaste appears to be an important vehicle for caries prevention and treatment of adolescents with a high caries risk.

- IM: To evaluate the potential of two whitening toothpastes on stain removal, using two different spectrophotometeric devices. DESIGN: In a randomised, double-blind clinical trial, 150 participants with tooth discolouration were assigned to use one of three toothpastes containing: hydroxyapatite, calcium peroxide and no active ingredient (placebo). They were examined at baseline and after 4, 8 and 12 weeks. MEASURES: Two methods of colour measurement were used: Vita Easyshade (Vita 3D-master scale) and Degudent Shadepilot (Classical Vitashade scale). RESULTS: No significant improvement was observed after using the two spectrophotometeric methods. However, a subjective lighter tooth colour and less staining were perceived by the participants in all three groups (not significant). Moreover, there was a significant improvement in the gingival and plaque index in all three groups after the 12 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: The toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite or calcium peroxide did not produce any reduction in tooth staining compared with a placebo fluoride toothpaste.
