“…The characteristics of the interventions in the included studies are summarized in Table . The trials were carried out in Jordan, Brazil, Germany and USA. In all trials, supervised toothbrushing was performed at schools but they differed regarding children's age, F concentration in the toothpaste and risk of caries.…”

“…Toothbrushing was performed with no F toothpaste, 500 ppm F toothpaste and 1000 ppm F toothpaste. Different follow‐up periods were reported: 21 months, 27–29 months, 3 years and 4 years. One study evaluated the cumulative survival rates of first molars occlusal surfaces with no caries in low‐caries‐risk surfaces, whereas the other three studies assessed the incidence of caries in the entire dentition.…”

Background The anticaries effect of supervised toothbrushing, irrespective of the effect of fluoride toothpaste, has not been clearly determined yet. Aim To assess the effects of supervised toothbrushing on caries incidence in children and adolescents. Design A systematic review of controlled trials was performed (CRD42014013879). Electronic and hand searches retrieved 2046 records, 112 of which were read in full and independently assessed by two reviewers, who collected data regarding characteristics of participants, interventions, outcomes, length of follow‐up and risk of bias. Results Four trials were included and none of them had low risk of bias. They were all carried out in schools, but there was great variation regarding children's age, fluoride content of the toothpaste, baseline caries levels and the way caries incidence was reported. Among the four trials, two found statistically significant differences favouring supervised toothbrushing, but information about the magnitude and/or the precision of the effect estimate was lacking and in one trial clustering effect was not taken into consideration. No meta‐analysis was performed due to the clinical heterogeneity among the included studies and differences in the reporting of data. Conclusions There is no conclusive evidence regarding the effectiveness of supervised toothbrushing on caries incidence.

“…A risk tool with perfect specificity could theoretically be helpful and cost‐effective in this scenario but will probably never exist. Thus, the current situation calls for population‐based cost‐efficient preventive interventions, such as preschool‐based supervised tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste, rather than an individual risk‐based strategy …”

Background Caries risk assessment in preschool children has been limited validated. Aim To validate caries predictive ability of Cariogram using different combinations of factors and settings in preschool children from areas with high caries risk. Design Two to five years old children (N = 175) were examined for caries (cavitated and non‐cavitated lesions), at baseline and after 1 and 2 years. Mutans streptococci counts (MS) and saliva buffer capacity (SBC) were measured with chair side tests. Diet and oral health attitude were assessed through a parental questionnaire. Baseline caries risk was calculated using standard and high‐risk group variables in Cariogram either with nine factors or excluding MS and SBC. Poisson regression models, ROC analysis and information criteria (AIC and BIC), P < 0.05, were used to investigate the predictive ability of Cariograms and to quantify the associations. Results Accuracy of Cariogram was found limited. Cariograms with MS showed higher sensitivity but lower specificity than those without bacterial counts. Standard set Cariograms with MS counts performed slightly better than the other models, but the difference was not statistically significant. Caries prediction with standard and high set Cariograms was also found limited. Conclusions Cariogram with various factors and settings displayed suboptimal ability to predict caries in this population.
