2. 11. Dental caries and background factors in children with heart disease

   Author : Linda Rosén; Christina Stecksén-Blicks; Annika Rydberg; Göran Dahllöf; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; attitudes; caries; children; dental care; heart disease; medication; saliva; Paedodontics; Pedodonti; odontologi; Odontology;

   Abstract : Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common congenital anomalies with an incidence of approximately 8–10 cases per 1000 live births. Technical development and continuing improvement in surgical methods have led to early interventions and an increased survival and consequently also a new group of patients in dentistry. READ MORE

4. 12. The effect of malnutrition on saliva composition and caries development

   Author : Ingegerd Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : starvation; protein-deficiency; antibacterial proteins; saliva; caries; infection;

   Abstract : Starvation and protein deficiency increase susceptibility to infec­tions in general and affect the function of various types of cells individually. Saliva contains substances which offer protection to the oral tissues. Its composition and secretion rate may be important in preventing the development of disease, e.g. READ MORE

6. 14. Re-evaluation of methods to identify individuals with increased risk of caries

   Author : Anna Senneby; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; caries; risk assessment; diagnostic accuracy; methodology; acid tolerance; reliability; agreement;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate methods used to identify individuals with increased risk of coronal caries lesion development. The specific aims were to:•evaluate the accuracy of different methods used to identify individuals with increased risk of developing dental coronal caries lesions (study I)•design and pilot a novel classification system for the assessment of caries lesion progression in bitewing radiography and to report rater agreement of the system (study II)•assess intra-individual differences in biofilm acid-tolerance between different tooth surfaces and inter-individual variation as well as stability of acid tolerance over time (study III)•assess diagnostic accuracy of two established methods and a candidate method to identify adolescents with increased risk of dental coronal caries lesion development (study IV).
