“…Targeting high-risk cancer patients and families enriches the pool of potential subjects with a foundation of experience, knowledge, fears, and questions concerning genetic disease [30, 39]. In this issue, Skinner and colleagues experienced high overall CGN participation (75%) among African Americans recruited from tumor registries and oncology clinics, regardless of targeted materials.…”

“…Flexibility within the protocol is often required to successfully deliver interventions in hard-to-reach populations. Adapting methods to accommodate community or individual needs increases research involvement by removing barriers for those who would wish to participate [31, 39, 51]. The use of follow-up phone calls to reduce attrition and establish trust at the individual level has increased participation in clinical trials, health surveys, and genetic research studies [30, 52].…”

The Cancer Genetics Network (CGN) is one of a growing number of large-scale registries designed to facilitate investigation of genetic and environmental contributions to health and disease. Despite compelling scientific and social justice arguments that recommend diverse participation in biomedical research, members of ethnic minority groups continue to be chronically underrepresented in such projects. The CGN studies reported in this issue used strategies well documented to increase minority participation in research activities, including use of community-targeted materials, addressing community trust concerns, and the adoption of personalized and flexible research protocols. Here, we review the outcome of these efforts to increase minority recruitment to the CGN, and ask what lessons the findings suggest for future minority recruitment initiatives.

“…Premolars had the largest proportion of the approximal surfaces with a manifest caries increment [23]. The percentage of children with DMFT ≥1 was highest in groups with dental fluorosis (TFscore ≥5) in the second molar, followed by the first molar [26]. A cross-section study of 12-19 year-old school children [27], examined premolars and molars teeth that dental caries were detected in 10.8% of the children.…”

Abstract:Dental caries is one of the commonest oral diseases in children and DMFT index is the most important quantitative factor for measuring tooth health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of caries-free children using DMFT and significant caries (SiC) indexes in students of the West of Iran. In a cross-sectional and descriptive study in 2013, 402 students of 12-year-old from six Junior (guidance) schools. The studied students had no milk tooth and systemic disease and also in the last three months did not take a certain drug on an ongoing basis. The diagnosis of dental caries was done based on the guidelines of WHO for dental caries in 12-year-old. Out of 402 students, 210 (52.2%) were boys and 192 (47.8%) were girls. The mean DMFT was 1.91, DT 1.64, MT 1.91 and FT 0.25. The mean SiC index was 3.9 and the percentage of caries free was 28.6%. Mandibular Molar Ι teeth had the most decay (51%) following by maxillary Molar Ι(23.4%) and mandibular Molar ΙΙ (12.4%). In conclusion, the border areas of Iran had more dental carries compared with central areas that Iran's Ministry of Health should increase its attention to these areas via oral health education and full control of drinking water and also improve diet and public awareness via school health professionals and public media.

There is very little contemporary evidence, meeting the review's inclusion criteria, that has evaluated the effectiveness of water fluoridation for the prevention of caries.The available data come predominantly from studies conducted prior to 1975, and indicate that water fluoridation is effective at reducing caries levels in both deciduous and permanent dentition in children. Our confidence in the size of the effect estimates is limited by the observational nature of the study designs, the high risk of bias within the studies and, importantly, the applicability of the evidence to current lifestyles. The decision to implement a water fluoridation programme relies upon an understanding of the population's oral health behaviour (e.g. use of fluoride toothpaste), the availability and uptake of other caries prevention strategies, their diet and consumption of tap water and the movement/migration of the population. There is insufficient evidence to determine whether water fluoridation results in a change in disparities in caries levels across SES. We did not identify any evidence, meeting the review's inclusion criteria, to determine the effectiveness of water fluoridation for preventing caries in adults.There is insufficient information to determine the effect on caries levels of stopping water fluoridation programmes.There is a significant association between dental fluorosis (of aesthetic concern or all levels of dental fluorosis) and fluoride level. The evidence is limited due to high risk of bias within the studies and substantial between-study variation.
