   Author : Hanna Enerbäck; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; caries; fluoride; caries incidence; caries prevalence; caries risk; orthodontics; mouth rinse; risk assessment; toothpaste;

   Abstract : Background: Scientifically based guidelines to predict and prevent caries during orthodontic treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances are lacking. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to improve caries risk assessment before orthodontic treatment, as well as to evaluate caries risk and improve caries prevention during treatment. READ MORE

4. 2. Effect of Probiotics on Caries-related Variables

   Author : Sahal Alforaidi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacterial interference; ; Caries; Caries prevention; ; Dental biofilm; ; Dental plaque; ; Lactobacilli; Lactobacillus reuteri; ; Streptococcus mutans; ; Plaque acidogenicity; ; Probiotics; qPCR; Saliva; Virulence;

   Abstract : In relation to the caries disease, the aims of this thesis were to investigate the effect of probiotic drops on different caries-related variables in vivo (Papers I & III), on interference capability and genetic response to different metabolites in vitro (II) and systematically to review the best mode and dose of administration based on the examined oral outcomes (IV). The effects on colonisation and cariogenic bacteria were studied in plaque and saliva via plating and qPCR-analyses in teenagers and orthodontic patients after short-term exposure. READ MORE

6. 4. Revisiting dental caries as an immunodeficiency disorder

   Author : Nongfei Sheng; Nicklas Strömberg; Anders Esberg; Thomas Boren; Anna Westerlund; Vuokko Loimaranta; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; caries; immunodeficiency; proline-rich proteins; DMBT1; S. mutans; adhesin; SpaP; Cnm; Cbm; collagen binding; caries risk stratification; precision dentistry;

   Abstract : Worldwide, dental caries is the major human chronic disease, with billions of people affected in terms of life quality impairment and high society costs that consumes 5-10% of the global healthcare budget. In Western countries dental caries has declined dramatically, with a trajectory of 15% high-risk individuals with recurrent caries and a non-responder behavior to standard prevention. READ MORE

7. 5. Probiotic Lactobacilli in the context of dental caries as a biofilm-mediated disease

   Author : Pamela Hasslöf; Christina Stecksén Blicks; Svante Twetman; Peter Lingström; Umeå universitet; []
