BackgroundDental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among preschool children globally. Different preventive agents and combinations have been studied. However, the rank of the effectiveness of clinical interventions is equivocal.AimTo summarize and rank the effectiveness of clinical interventions using different agents for primary prevention of early childhood caries (ECC).DesignTwo reviewers independently searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library to identify randomized controlled trials with at least 12‐month follow‐up. The network meta‐analysis (NMA) on different agents was based on a random‐effects model and frequentist approach. Standardized mean differences (SMD) with 95% CI of the caries increment were calculated in terms of either dmft or dmfs and used in the NMA. Caries incidences at the child level were compared using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CI. The effectiveness of the agents was ranked using the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA).ResultsAfter screening 3807 publications and selection, the NMA finally included 33 trials. These trials used either a single or combination of agents such as fluorides, chlorhexidine, casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate, probiotics, xylitol, and triclosan. Compared with control, fluoride foam (FF; SMD −0.69, 95% CI: −1.06, −0.32) and fluoride salt (F salt; SMD −0.66, 95% CI: −1.20, −0.13) were effective in preventing caries increment. Probiotic milk plus low fluoride toothpaste (PMLFTP; OR 0.34, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.77), FF (OR 0.48, 95% CI: 0.37, 0.63), fluoride varnish (FV; OR 0.63, 95% CI: 0.48, 0.81), and fluoride varnish plus high fluoride toothpaste (FVHFTP; OR 0.73, 95% CI: 0.57, 0.93) were effectively preventing caries incidence. According to the SUCRA, FF ranked first in preventing caries increment, whereas PMLFTP ranked first in preventing caries incidence.ConclusionFluoride foam, F salt, PMLFTP, FV, and FVHFTP all effectively reduce caries increment or caries incidence in preschool children, but the evidence indicates low degree of certainty. Considering the relatively small number of studies, confidence in the findings, and limitations in the study, clinical practitioners and readers should exercise caution when interpreting the NMA results.

“…Complications arising during root canal treatment, such as iatrogenic perforation, root canal blockage, and separation of a part of the instrument, affect the outcome of endodontic treatment. If clinicians understand how each of the possible complications occurs, they will be able to prevent treatment complications in advance ( Godovanets et al, 2020 ). Procedural errors occur because of lack of training, experience, time and also posture position ( Holzgreve et al, 2022 ).…”

Aim: To analyze morphometric changes in the structure of bone tissue of the mandibular articular processes and establish their densitometric dependence on the masticatory teeth loss in people of I-II periods of adulthood. Materials and methods: We analyzed 136 digital CT recordings of human temporomandibular joints. The research subjects were divided into three groups based on the degree of dentition defect acquisition: the first – a limited defect, the second – a final defect, and the third – a preserved dentition (control); by age into two periods of adulthood of postnatal human ontogenesis. Digital statistical analysis of the bone density is presented as M±σ (mean and standard deviation). We compared the experimental groups with the control group using nonparametric statistical analysis. Results: Changes in the vertical dimension of occlusion due to limited masticatory teeth loss acquire variable morphometric features, causing an interrelated process of bone atrophy of the cellular part and the trabecular layer of the mandibular processes. The density of bone tissue of the cortical layer of the articular-fossa quadrant (A-Fh/q) of the articular head of the mandibular process increases on the right with limited defects and decreases with final defects. Indicators of bone densitometry of A-Fh/q on the left is characterized by a decrease with limited defects for individuals of the I-st period of adulthood and an increase in the final defects in the II-nd on the left and right. Conclusions: Multifactorial pathomorphological compensatory processes ensure bone density, but with a change in values on the right and a decrease on the left. Morphometric values of trabecular layers, the most vulnerable areas of the neck and base of the mandibular articular processes, indicate the reconstruc¬tion of their bone tissue with limited defects; in the first period of the adulthood, they decrease with a significant predominance on the left.
