“…Children who were clinically examined and had healthy first or second molars with a moderate to high caries risk were selected for fissure sealant based on the last guidelines [ 30 ]. The list of students was sent to their parents for the inform consents (including some information about the number of teeth needed fissure sealant and the fact that the fourth-year dental students would provide this non-invasive care in the university's clinics).…”

Introduction The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of an Oral Health Promoting School (OHPS) model on children's oral health in Iran. Methods This interventional quasi-experimental study was conducted in the academic year 2019–20 among 354 primary school students and their parents. A questionnaire including 17 questions was distributed among children before and 5 months after the program (The ranges of possible scores = 0–17). Training workshops for the parents based on the theoretical domains framework were designed. Using educational sessions, pamphlets, tooth brushing dairies, assignments to do at home, educational videos and messages as reminders in social networks, parents were educated about dental caries, its risk factors and prevention principles. Best recommended oral health behaviors including tooth brushing and the use of fluoridated tooth paste were also educated. A questionnaire consisting of 18 knowledge (The ranges of possible scores = 0–18), 13 attitude and 10 practice questions were distributed among parents before and after the workshops. The data were fed into SPSS and analyzed by descriptive and analytic statistics such as T-test, ANOVA and Correlation Coefficients (α = 0.05). Results The mean pre-test knowledge (7.8 ± 1.7) was increased significantly in three schools after program, p < 0.001. In the post-test, girls gained significantly higher scores (9.61 ± 1.98 vs. 9.06 ± 1.4, p = 0.025). Among 147 parents, the mean knowledge was raised from 12.3 ± 3.1 (5–18) to 15 ± 3.03 (6–18), p < 0.001. Knowledge score of the parents attending both sessions was higher. Practice of the parents regarding the use of fluoridated tooth-paste was significantly improved (p < 0.001). Also, their attitude toward the ability of children to take care of their teeth was improved (p = 0.029). Based on the self-report of parents, 71.4% (n = 47) of mothers and 45.6% (n = 67) of their children used to brush once or two times daily and there was a correlation between their behaviors (p < 0.001, Spearman Correlation Coefficient = 0.4). Conclusion It seems that the education provided in OHPS had positive effects on increasing students' awareness and to some extent, the knowledge, attitude and practice of the parents.

“…While dentists seek to provide optimal dental care with their applied sealants, it is a difficult choice whether to choose a material to stay or to treat. These materials were proposed to provide mechanical properties close to resins and ion releasing capacities close to glass ionomers while avoiding their drawbacks of wear, solubility and faster degradation 6 . This study aimed to investigate the marginal integrity of a bioactive resin material compared to a conventional resin-based flowable composite during management of initial carious lesion in adult population over an 18 months period.…”

BackgroundDental caries is one of the most prevalent diseases. Fissure sealants have been proven to prevent the incidence or progression of dental caries provided their adequate placement and longevity. PurposeTo investigate the marginal integrity of a bioactive resin material compared to a conventional resin-based flowable composite during management of initial carious lesion in adult population over an 18 months period. Patient and methodsTwenty-four patients with an upper or lower molar that has an ICDAS score 1 or 2 on its occlusal surface, were selected for this study. The patienrs were divided randomly and equally into two groups. Group I was assigned to be sealed with a nano-filled giomer based sealant (Beautifil Injectable X, Shofu Dental Corp.) while Group II was assigned to be sealed with a nano-filled conventional flowable composite (Filtek z350 XT, 3m ESPE). Both sealants were applied after acid conditioning and the application of a bonding agent. The sealants were then evaluated for marginal integrity after six, twelve and eighteen months. ResultsThere was a non-significant difference between the two groups. There was a significant difference regarding the marginal integrity within each group after eighteen months. ConclusionBoth fissure sealants can successfully seal initially carious fissures. However, the marginal integrity of sealants should be evaluated periodically for repair. The nanofilled giomer flowable composite could be promising as a bioactive fissure sealant.

“…Dessa forma, a dentina afetada, por apresentar uma desmineralização parcial, colágeno não desnaturado e ausência de bactérias, é capaz de ser remineralizada, aumentando sua dureza (Fusayama, 1979). Estudos clínicos comprovam a eficácia de terapias minimamente invasivas, como selantes, na paralisação da progressão de lesões cariosas de ICDAS 3 (Muñoz-Sandoval et al, 2019;Tahani et al, 2021;Kasemkhun et al, 2021), o que é benéfico para viabilizar a recuperação de dureza tecidual do tecido afetado, porém estudos longitudinais são altamente recomendados para análise da eficácia dessa terapêutica ao longo do tempo.…”
