  4. 2. On Caries Risk Profiles Using Cariogram and Caries Prevention with Fluoridated Toothpaste in Orthodontic Patients

    Author : Anas H Al Mulla; Dowen Birkhed; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Caries lesions. Caries model. Caries risk. Cariogram. QLF. Orthodontic bands. Saudi Arabia. Slurry rinsing. Toothbrushing. Toothpaste. Toothpaste technique. Water rinsin;

    Abstract : Objective. The aims of this thesis were to: 1) analyse caries-related factors shortly after orthodontic treatment, 2) demonstrate the usefulness of the Cariogram by presenting orthodontic patients with different caries-risk profiles, 3) compare two different toothpastes with different post brushing techniques using an in situ caries model with orthodontic bands, and 4) test the hypothesis that toothpaste slurry rinsing, combined with some other simple post-brushing advice (in this thesis called the “modified F toothpaste technique, MFTT“), would reduce the number of decayed and filled tooth surfaces (DFS) in a 2-year randomised clinical trial in orthodontic patients.

  5. 3. Surface roughness : causal factors and its relation to bacterial adhesion

    Author : Georg Tellefsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Abrasivity;

    Abstract : Inflammation around teeth and dental implants is considered to be due to microorganisms producing biofilm and thereby initiating the inflammatory reaction. The etiology is not yet fully understood though many risk factors have been identified, e.g. smoking, oral hygiene, stress etc. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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.
