4. 2. Caries Prevention in Patients Undergoing Orthodontic Treatment

   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

5. 3. 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

6. 4. 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.

7. 5. 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.
