“…However, in the present study, the expert panel members considered this recommendation as uncertain and had incomplete agreement over it in medium-risk patients since it may not be cost-effective to use this method for medium-risk adults in our setting [ 51 ]. In addition, the quality of sealant application by some dentists may not be ideal [ 52 ].…”

Purpose To adapt an evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) for risk-based management of caries in 18–55 year-old Iranian adults. Methods A multidisciplinary adaptation team reviewed evidence-based guidelines such as the NICE, SIGN, and ADA according to the defined clinical questions. In addition, databases such as the PubMed and Google Scholar were searched and CPGs were screened and appraised using the AGREE II (Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II) tool. Clinical scenarios were developed and their level of evidence, clinical advantage and adaptability were assessed. Following a two-round ranking by experts, the final recommendations were selected using the RAND-UCLA appropriateness method. Results Of 17 CPGs, 5 were selected as the source guidelines for adaptation. To assess the risk of caries in the adult population, reduced Cariogram (without saliva tests) and CAMBRA were suggested as diagnostic tools. In addition, 53 risk-based recommendations on the preventive care (including the use of fluoride toothpaste, fluoride, and chlorhexidine mouthwash, at home and in-office fluoride gel, fluoride varnish, mouth buffering, and sealant), operative intervention threshold, and follow-up interval were adapted for Iranian adults. Conclusions A guideline was adapted for risk-based management of dental caries in Iranian adults. This helps local dentists in decision making and promoting oral health of adults. Further research is needed to assess the external validity and feasibility of the adapted guideline in the Iranian population.

The association between family factors and dental caries/dental plaque development in children is of interest. The parents of pediatric age group seeking treatment from the Government Chengalpattu Medical college hospital, who accompanied with two or more siblings, were included. A questionnaire was given to gather data on the parents' socioeconomic status and family size. The children underwent clinical examination to evaluate the state of their oral health. Results showed a significant relationship between dental plaque and caries experience of child with gender, parents’ education, occupation and socioeconomic status. So we conclude that the family related factors such as parent’s education, occupation, income and SES exerted a definite impact in the oral health of children than the family size and sibling factors.

“…One year after applying the sealant, they discovered an 86.3% decrease in cavities. (9) Pit and fissure sealants have thus been discovered as an excellent addition to oral healthcare prophylactic methods in the reduction of occlusal surface caries beginning as well as further progression (10).The physical blockage of the pits and fissures is primarily responsible for the cariostatic features of sealants. This stops new bacteria from colonizing the pits and fissures and also stops fermentable carbohydrates from getting inside those bacteria that are still inside the pits and fissures (10).…”

Background: According to the World Health Organization, filling up the pits and fissures is one of the most efficient, least invasive ways to completely protect the occlusal surface from the carious phenomena. In vitro tests are essential for quickly delivering the knowledge required about the effectiveness of more recent sealant brands. Consequently, the objective of the current study was to assess and contrast the viscosity and length of resin tags on permanent molars of conventional and hydrophilic sealants. Materials and Methods: Twenty extracted third molars were split into two groups at random, one receiving conventional sealant (Clinpro 3M ESPE), and the other receiving hydrophilic sealant (UltraSeal XT Hydro). Each tooth's occlusal surfaces underwent an acid etchant pretreatment before the appropriate sealants were applied. Afterwards thermocycling and longitudinal sectioning were applied to both groups. For the purpose of measuring the length of the resin tag, the sectioned tooth specimens were examined under a scanning electron microscope. An Anton Paar viscometer was used to measure viscosities. The difference between the mean resin tag length of Group I and Group II sealants was compared using an independent t-test. Results: The mean resin tag length of Group II (10.07+/- 1.01m) was found to be higher than Group I (7.49+/- 0.94m), and this difference was statistically significant (P = 0.001). The viscosity measurements of Groups I and II were determined to be 0.8 mega Pascal (MPa) and 0.6 MPa, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the current investigation, it can be said that Group II sealants generated resin tags of sufficient length and had lower viscosities than Group I sealants. Thus, a hydrophilic sealant outperformed a conventional sealant in terms of performance.
