“…This was in accordance with the results obtained from the previous studies. [ 15 16 17 ] A detailed evaluation of the cariogenic potential of each food item was difficult.

A BSTRACT Background: Diet diaries are a significant tool for dietary assessment and advice. There is paucity of studies assessing the usage of diet diaries by pediatric dentists during their patient management. Hence, this study was designed and conducted to explore the perceptions of the pediatric dentists regarding the possible difficulties and their solutions for the usage of diet diaries in their dental office. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was designed to understand the awareness of pediatric dentists regarding the utility of diet diaries while preparing the diet modifications for their patients. The factors related with adherence of pediatric patients to the diet diaries were understood by using qualitative research method. Results: The information regarding the diet was collected verbally by 78% of pediatric dentists. Monetary constraint (43%), time (35%), poor compliance (12%), and lack of skills (10%) were the other reasons. The results of the qualitative study showed that adhering to diet diaries was a multi-contextual phenomenon. Conclusions: Utilization of diet diaries by pediatric dentists and adherence to the diet modifications by the patients are very poor. A supportive health-care system, motivation of parents as well as children, along with an efficient tool seem to be needed for achieving success in utilization of diet diaries.

This article, the third in a series about dentifrices, emphasizes the essential role of dentifrices in oral healthcare, highlighting their contributions beyond mechanical plaque removal to include plaque inhibition and delivery of therapeutic agents. Despite the sometimes-limited impact on mechanical plaque removal, the importance of fluoridated dentifrices, must not be underestimated. The article reviews the effectiveness and safety of dentifrices, including the challenges posed by subjective clinical indices and potential allergenic ingredients. It discusses the potential of innovative dentifrice formulations to improve compliance and oral health outcomes. Additionally, it emphasizes the critical role of dental care professionals in recommending dentifrices based on safety and effectiveness rather than cosmetic claims or cost. Through an analysis of the literature and clinical guidelines, this work aims to guide healthcare providers in making informed decisions about dentifrice recommendations for optimal oral health. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dentifrices are complex formulations that need to be proven effective in (clinical) trials and be appreciated by end users.
