The 5-year incidence and intraoral distribution of decayed and filled root surfaces were evaluated in 379 black and 323 white residents of North Carolina aged 65 and older. During the period of study, approximately 39% of blacks developed at least one root DFS compared with 52% for whites (Wald χ² test, p = 0.062). When the results were calculated using the net root DFS increment, blacks did not have significantly higher rates than whites over the 5-year study period (0.52 surfaces/person versus 0.42 surfaces/person, Survey Regression, n = 363, p = 0.708). However, for blacks, the 5-year incidence density rate of root DFS was 0.26 per 60 surface-months at risk, and for whites the rate was 0.19 new root DFS per 60 surface-months (incidence density ratio = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.01–1.76, p = 0.047). Intraoral distribution patterns for root caries incidence revealed that the approximal surfaces of the anterior teeth were involved most frequently, particularly in the mandible and maxilla in whites, followed in decreasing order by the buccal surfaces of the lower anteriors and the mesial surfaces of the upper anteriors in blacks. Although root caries incidence rates were obviously low, there were significant differences in the occurrence of caries between blacks and whites. The pattern of occurrence was similar for both races with root surface disease being concentrated in the approximal surfaces of the anterior teeth in a small proportion of affected individuals, with whites presenting more filled root increments than blacks. These findings suggest a need for more caries treatment in blacks and increased monitoring of this population since they are at a higher risk for root caries.

The aim of this study was to test the clinical effects of preventive regimens using fluoride and chlorhexidine on caries development in abutment teeth in patients with overdentures. 30 patients with immediate overdentures were distributed at random among three experimental groups. In these groups three different gels (placebo, fluoride, and chlorhexidine-fluoride) were tested by daily application. The patients were recalled at 6-month intervals for a period of 18 months. The life table survival ratios at patient level showed that in the chlorhexidine group caries development in the abutments was significantly reduced. In this group no caries developed. On comparison with the control group (placebo), no preventive effects of the gel were noticed for those in the fluoride group.

SummaryIntroduction. A good control of bacterial plaque is an essential factor for the success of periodontal therapy, therefore it is the main objective that the clinician together with the patient must get to have a healthy periodontium. The plaque control with mouthwashes is the most important home therapy as it helps to reduce the formation of plaque between the mechanical removal with a toothbrush. Aim. Authors analyzed the clinical data from a trial carried out with 3 different mouthwashes containing 0.2% Chlorhexidine (CHX). In addition, the ADS (Anti Discoloration System -Curaden Healthcare) was tested in comparison with the other mouthwashes without this system. Materials and methods. We tested antiplaque activity showed by 3 of the most commercialized mouthwashes, moreover, we tested the ability in reducing the dental staining related to the oral assumption of Chlorhexidine. Discussion and conclusion. Our results demonstrated the clinical efficacy of the 3 mouthwashes with CHX. Particularly performing was the anti discoloration system (Curaden Healthcare), with a clinical detection of dental stainings significantly less than the others tested. This study demonstrated the clinical efficacy of ADS system in the reduction of tooth staining, without a loss of antiplaque activity with respect to the competing mouthwashes containing CHX.
