Comprehensive health screening of children in care is likely to benefit a child's health, although this could not be determined. Agencies responsible for placing children in care need systems in place to ensure better inter-agency collaboration between the health system and community services. This should help improve health outcomes.

Objective: To provide a historical and epidemiological overview of the oral health of Hong Kong children.

Dental caries experience, periodontal health, enamel defects, and malocclusion of Hong Kong children were reviewed.

This paper investigates a novel in vitro method of ascertaining quantitative comparative data on a selection of commercial available odour absorbent wound dressing. The aim of this study is to determine and evaluate quantitative desirable data on the efficiency of odour absorbency along with other comparable physical characteristics of commercial odour absorbent dressings. This study is a part of an ongoing research programme into the design and development of novel odour absorbent dressings for managing malodorous wounds. The study also includes the development of a controlled in vitro test method that simulates a more realistic situation. A selection of commercially available activated charcoal dressings were analysed and tested, and comparative evaluation was carried out and discussed.
