- Elemental analysis of dental hard tissues is of importance and especially regarding enamel with developmental disturbances. The aim of this study was to evaluate XRMA analysis of bovine enamel in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with different coatings using a low-vacuum technique. The buccal surface of mandibular bovine incisors was polished flat and one third was coated with carbon, one third with gold, leaving one third uncoated for XRMA analysis in a SEM equipped with an EDS microanalysis system. The elements oxygen, sodium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, potassium and calcium were analysed using their respective characteristic K X-ray series. Comparisons were also made with analyses of glass produced by fusion of the bovine enamel, which showed that oxygen analyses using the K X-ray series are reliable and preferable to calculating oxygen by stoichiometry for natural enamel. For the gold-coated and uncoated analyses, carbon was also measured using the K X-ray series. Small area (10 micron square) analyses in VP-SEM mode with low vacuum, without any coating midway between 40 micron wide gold lines 140 microns apart to avoid build-up of electrostatic charge is the preferred method, especially if C is included in the analysis. The analyses of bovine enamel are sufficiently reproducible to be regarded as quantitative for all elements except carbon.

- This was to study children with early detected externalising behaviour problems compared to matched controls regarding oral health, oral health risk behaviour and the parental evaluation of the child's oral health and dental care. Children aged 10-13 years and with externalising behaviour problems, were compared to matched controls. Behavioural characteristics were based on the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire. The children and their parents completed questionnaires regarding dental fear, tooth brushing, dietary habits and evaluation of oral health and dental care. Data on dental caries risk assessments, caries, behaviour management problems and dental trauma were obtained from dental files. There were no differences in caries prevalence in children with early detected externalising behaviour problems, compared to controls. However, the former group consumed more sweet drinks when thirsty and brushed their teeth fewer than twice daily; they also had more dental trauma in both dentitions and a higher risk range for dental fear, compared to controls. This study points out potential oral health risk factors in children with early-detected externalising behaviour problems. Although no difference in caries prevalence was observed, externalising behaviour may affect oral health. Therefore, dental professionals should support the families and the children to preserve dental health by offering increased prophylactic measures. There were no differences between children with externalising behaviour problems, compared with controls, regarding the parent evaluation of their child's dental health. However, more parents in the study group evaluated the dental care as poor or not functioning.

- The purpose of this study was to examine ground sections of primary second molars and permanent first molars from the same jaws. Teeth from 11 individuals were collected from archaeologic sites in Sweden and Denmark. Longitudinal buccolingual sections were examined in a polarization light microscope and in a Philips scanning electron microscope (SEM). The seven teeth from Sweden appeared to have been subjected to environmental influences at their burial site, which had affected both the dentin and the enamel. The teeth from the Danish sites had a normal color, and no disintegration of the dentin was seen. The general morphologic appearance was normal in all primary and permanent teeth. The position of the neonatal line indicated a normal full-term gestational age. The observed accentuated incremental lines in both the primary and permanent enamel suggested periods of dietary changes, possibly related to periods of illness. SEM images of the surface area of the Swedish teeth showed an extremely porous enamel surface with severe changes in the prism structure as an effect of acid penetration. The Danish teeth did not show any marked changes in the enamel.

- Dyes currently used to stain carious dentine have a limited capacity to discriminate normal dentine from carious dentine, which may result in overexcavation. Consequently, finding a selective dye is still a challenge. However, there is evidence that hydrazine-based dyes, via covalent bonds to functional groups, bind specifically to carious dentine. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible formation of covalent bonds between carious dentine and N-15(2)-hydrazine and the hydrazine-based dye, N-15(2)-labelled Lucifer Yellow, respectively. Powdered dentine from extracted carious and normal teeth was exposed to the dyes, and the staining reactions were analysed using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), solid-state C-13-labelled nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and N-15-NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that N-15(2)-hydrazine and N-15(2)-labelled Lucifer Yellow both bind to carious dentine but not to normal dentine. It can thus be concluded that hydrazine-based dyes can be used to stain carious dentine and leave normal dentine unstained. (C) 2017 S. Karger AG, Basel

- In three Scandinavian dental facilities, a series of 334 permanent incisors with fractures of the crown or crown and root was treated by reattachment of the fragment with a resin composite. Two centers (Oslo and Stockholm) employed acid etching of enamel alone for fragment bonding (n = 146), while the third center (Copenhagen) used a combination of enamel etching and dentinal bonding (n = 188). Although the final retention rate of fragment bonding was similar in the two groups, it took the dentinal bonding group almost three times as long to drop to 50% fragment retention. This difference could be attributed to greater bonding strength in the dentinal bonding group, greater risk of second injury in the younger acid-etching group, or difficulty in maintaining a dry operative field in the younger age group. The good fragment retention, acceptable esthetics, and pulpal vitality observed in the present series indicate that reattachment of the coronal fragment is a realistic alternative to placement of conventional resin-composite restorations.

- The aim of this study was to in vitro evaluate the micro leakage of a fissure sealant on sound and demineralized enamel using thermo cycling. The effect of the sealing procedure on sound and demineralized enamel were assessed on human premolars that were divided into one Control group and two Test groups. The Control group served as a baseline reference for the subsequent test procedures. The crowns of five teeth were covered with wax leaving three separate windows on the buccal surfaces. The enamel in one window was acid-etched, in the second window demineralized, and in the third window demineralized and subsequently acid-etched. In Test group 1, containing ten teeth, a defined enamel area on the buccal surfaces was acid-etched and sealed. The sealed area and a border of sound enamel around it were subjected to the demineralizing procedure. In Test group 2, a defined enamel window of 13 teeth was demineralized and subsequently etched and sealed. The sealed area and a border of surrounding enamel were subjected to a new cycle of demineralization. The longitudinal, bucco-lingual sections were examined in polarized light. When placed on acid-etched surfaces, the resin adhered firmly to the enamel with no evidence of demineralization or enlargement of previously demineralized areas underneath the sealants.

- The fluoride content in surface enamel and its relationship to caries experience was studied in a group of Icelandic schoolchildren living in a low-fluoride area. Fluoride content was assessed by means of in vivo enamel biopsies sampled from 248 subjects aged 11 and 12 years. Dental examinations were performed in conjunction with the biopsy sampling and by the same examiner 1 year later. The prevalence and incidence of initial (DSI) and manifest (DFS) caries lesions were recorded separately. A median fluoride concentration of 610 ppm at a median biopsy depth of 4.2 microns was observed. A significant positive correlation was found between DSI and enamel fluoride content in girls and all older children. Additionally, surface enamel fluoride was measured in 72 Swedish children from a low-fluoride area but exposed to regular topical fluoride treatments. The difference in mean fluoride concentrations between the Icelandic and Swedish study populations was highly significant. From the measured fluoride concentrations the enamel fluoride profiles for both study populations were constructed. The differences in fluoride content were most pronounced in the outermost layer, apparently reflecting the higher exposure to and acquisition of topical fluoride in the Swedish children.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Dietary habits with regard to sugar consumption and caries experience were studied in a group of 275 Icelandic children aged 12 and 13 years. The pattern of meals and sugar-containing food intake frequency were assessed by means of a dietary questionnaire. All dental examinations were performed by one examiner, using standardized methods and diagnostic criteria. Only 75% of the children had three regular meals daily. Breakfast and lunch were the most frequently omitted meals. Sweet buns were consumed by 32% of the children with meals and by 58% between meals, whereas soft drinks were consumed by 42% and 46%, respectively. Eighty-three per cent of the children reported eating sweets daily. The most popular products included confectionery, buns, cakes, and soft drinks, which constituted 53% of the intake with meals and 68% of that between meals. A higher caries incidence was associated with frequent intake of buns and cakes with meals and confectionery.
