2. 1. On approximal caries prevention using fluoridated toothpicks, dental floss and interdental brushes

   Author : Barbro Särner; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Approximal caries; Dental flosses; De- and re-mineralization; Fluoride; Interproximal aids; Interproximal area; Oral hygiene; Questionnaire; Toothpicks;

   Abstract : Although dental health has improved during the last 40-50 years, approximal caries still constitutes a problem in many age groups. It is important that fluoride (F) toothpaste is used when brushing the teeth. In some subjects, there may be a need for supplementary F products, especially in the caries-prone approximal area.

4. 2. On Dental Caries and Caries-Related Factors in Children and Teenagers

   Author : Anita Alm; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adolescents; Approximal caries; Caries experience; Early childhood caries; Oral hygiene; Fluoride toothpaste; Plaque; Psychosocial factors; Snacking habits; Body mass index;

   Abstract : On Dental Caries and Caries-Related Factors in Children and Teenagers Anita Alm, Department of Cariology, Institute of Odontology, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Box 450, SE-405 30 G?teborg, Sweden Dental caries is still a common disease among children and adolescents. The aims of the present thesis were therefore: 1) to investigate the approximal caries prevalence in posterior teeth in 15-year-olds, 2) to study past caries experience in the primary dentition in relation to future caries development and need for treatment, 3) to investigate factors during early childhood which are associated with caries development later in life, and 4) to study the association between age-specific body mass index (isoBMI) and approximal caries status in 15-year-olds.

5. 3. Fluoride varnish programmes for adolescents at school – caries, conceptions and costs

   Author : Eva-Karin Bergström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adolescents; approximal caries; caries incidence; caries increment; caries prevalence; cost-analysis; dental nurse; fluoride varnish; oral health promotion; phenomenography; population-based; school programme;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the effects on caries, conceptions and costs of school-based fluoride varnish programmes for adolescents in Sweden. Paper I was a 3.5-year randomised controlled study of 1,143 adolescents, in a low caries prevalence area. READ MORE

6. 4. On Fluoridation of Chewing Sticks (Miswaks) with Respect to Dental Caries

   Author : Hosam A Baeshen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Approximal area; caries lesions; chewing stick Miswak ; fluoride; fluoride retention; fluoride solution; fluoride toothpaste; impregnation; orthodontic patients; saliva; Salvadora Persica;

   Abstract : The chewing stick known as a “Miswak” is a natural toothbrush that is widely used for cleaning the teeth. It has been used for thousands of years in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the Miswak as a vehicle for fluoride delivery in the oral cavity. READ MORE

7. 5. On Caries Risk Profile and Prevention in an Adult Saudi Population

   Author : Helal Sonbul; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adults. Approximal caries. Bitewing. Caries risk. Cariogram. Dental restorations. Enamel caries. Fluoride toothpaste. Saudi Arabia.;

   Abstract : Objectives. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate: 1) the caries profile in an adult Saudi population with several dental restorations using a computer-based program (Cariogram), 2) the prevalence of primary and recurrent caries and of filled tooth surfaces in relation to the Cariogram outcome, expressed as “the chance of avoiding caries”, 3) the quality of dental restorations and the additional value of using bitewing radiographs, 4) the effect of a “modified fluoride toothpaste technique” on the incidence and progression of approximal caries diagnosed on bitewings and 5) the preventive effect of this toothpaste technique on buccal and lingual enamel caries and to determine the role of patient compliance.
