“…Dental fluorosis seemed to influence self-esteem and aesthetic perception of patients, especially young people and sometimes is accountable of dental sensitivity [30,31]. Patients treated in this work reported a Shiff Air Index Sensitive Scale of 0 in all cases, except that of a subject suffering for periodontal disease: in this case the index did not change before and after treatment confirming values reported among all sample.…”

Background and Objective: Dental fluorosis is a disease affecting dental hard tissues featured with white or yellowish lesions. Several treatments are proposed in the literature, some even invasive. This clinical study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of resin infiltration in terms of lesions resolution, trend of sensitive teeth and satisfaction of patients over time. Methods and Material: 200 fluorosis lesions were treated using ICON infiltrating resin (DMG, Hamburg, Germany). Parameters related to patients were collected by a questionnaire and analyzed aesthetic dissatisfaction about lesions, Shiff Air Index Sensitive Scale, sensitive teeth after treatment, the satisfaction of duration of treatment. The same operator measured dimensions of lesions Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis (TSIF) and numbers of etching cycles needed for treating lesions. Statistical analysis was performed. The follow-up was of 1-year a measurement were performed at baseline (t0), immediately after the treatment (t1) and every three months during the observation period. Results: All lesions disappeared after one treatment. Pain or sensitive teeth were reported inside the 72 h and they disappeared after. Statistical analysis showed highly statistically correlation between etching cycles and the dimension of lesions and TSIF at the time-points evaluated as well as for pain during treatment, whereas a statistical significance was not noticed where etching cycles were correlated to sensitive teeth after 72 h. Overall, the treatment was found to be statistically significantly associated with differences in answers of aesthetic dissatisfaction between t0 and t1 and those collected between t1 and t2. Between t2 and t3 and between t3 and t4 no statistical differences were found in answers of patients about dissatisfaction, indicating the stability of the results. Conclusions: The ICON resin infiltration technique was found to be effective in lesions resolution with steady results.

“…Although some studies have described negative associations between general and dentofacial features targeted by bullies and school performance 11,48,49 our study did not demonstrate these associations. Considering the low prevalence of bullying due to dentofacial features among the adolescents recruited for the present study, it is likely that our findings regarding the lack of association between bullying and school performance reflect the specific characteristics of this sample.…”

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the associations of oral health literacy (OHL), sense of coherence (SOC) and other covariates with self‐reported school performance (SRSP) in adolescents enrolled in public schools in Brazil. METHODS This was a cross‐sectional study conducted with adolescents aged from 14 to 18 years enrolled in 6 public schools in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. Researchers carried out data collection at schools using a self‐administered structured questionnaire. The dependent variable was SRSP. The explanatory factors included were sociodemographic characteristics, OHL, SOC, self‐rated oral health, health behaviors, and experience of bullying. Analyses included simple and multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS The final sample consisted of 385 adolescents with a mean age of 16 years. Poor school performance was associated (95%CI) with being male, with more than 1 sibling, individual whose last visit to the dentist was due to dental pain, with a lower level of OHL and SOC. CONCLUSIONS OHL and SOC were important factors associated with SRSP performance together with other sociodemographic and oral health‐related variables in high school students. Our findings reinforce the importance of intersectoral actions between the health and education sectors to promote better school performance among adolescents, including actions to improve OHL and SOC.

“…It also can affect both selfconfidence and people's perception of aesthetics, especially in younger individuals. This may have a profound impact on their psychosocial life in severe cases of dental fluorosis (Narayanan et al, 2019;Duarte-Rodrigues et al, 2020). It is also noted that nowadays patients are more inclined towards a non-invasive approach in having procedures done to their teeth (Frencken et al, 2012).…”

Dental fluorosis can be defined as a developmental condition that affects dental hard tissue, mainly enamel characterised with white or yellowish lesions due to excessive fluoride exposure. Fluorosis can have a major impact on the appearance, structure and shape of the tooth which posed a significant aesthetic concern to individuals having this condition. There are several treatments recommended in treating dental fluorosis depending on the severity of the disease itself ranging from tooth bleaching to prosthetic crowns in severe cases. This case report describes the use of resin infiltration technique on a patient with mild to moderate severity of dental fluorosis of the upper anterior teeth which produce an acceptable improvement of the appearance of the affected tooth. Resin infiltration technique in this case provided a conservative and inexpensive approach in treating mild to moderate dental fluorosis for the patient, improving the aesthetic without significant loss of tooth structure.
