However, barriers can exist to full implementation of effective working in dental teams, including both systemic and regulatory barriers, as well as attitudinal barriers. Furthermore, DHs and DTs are not always working to their full scope of practice, thereby limiting the care that these team members can provide. Mutual respect between dental team members, high-quality communication and a common ethos and shared clinical standards are all essential for effective teamworking. DHs and DTs have a clear role to play in achieving sustainable improvements in oral and dental health for patient populations globally.Conclusion: Full and effective integration of DHs and DTs into healthcare teams will benefit not only the dental team, but also healthcare systems and patient populations, via more effective teamworking, improved access to care and enhanced treatment outcomes.","PeriodicalId":13791,"journal":{"name":"International journal of dental hygiene","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142575757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight specimens from each group were tested for permeability using the dye percolation method. The remaining three samples from each group were assessed for dentinal tubule occlusion, depth of SDF penetration, and elemental analysis using a scanning electron microscope coupled with an energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) system. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test were used to analyze the results.Results: TP exhibited lower (p < 0.05) dye percolation compared to AA. While both SDF materials showed a statistically similar (p > 0.05) penetration depth in the DT, none of them had the ability to completely occlude all the DTs. AA exhibited more silver and fluoride ion deposition on etched dentin than TP, and both materials showed a similar increase in the deposition of Ca and P compared to NC.Conclusions: Whereas the effectiveness of dentin tubule (DT) occlusion varies based on the material used, both tested SDF products exhibit the capability to seal dentinal tubules, decrease dentin permeability, and promote dentin remineralization. These findings suggest their potential advantage in managing dentin hypersensitivity.","PeriodicalId":13791,"journal":{"name":"International journal of dental hygiene","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142557793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immediately afterward, they chewed two CC. The occlusal surfaces of their posterior teeth were photographed 3 times: after 10 min, after 1 min of water-rinsing and after 4 min of chewing SG. An independent dentist screened all photos for the presence (partial or complete) or the absence of retained CC.Results: Participants included 28 children 7-14-year-old, with 100 primary and 214 permanent molars, of which, 150 teeth had FS. After chewing two CC, 290 (92.4%) teeth had retained CC. Water-swishing removed all, partial or none of the CC in 23%, 72.4% and 4.6% of the teeth, respectively. The effectiveness of chewing SG in completely removing retained CC was significantly higher than water-rinsing (p < 0.001), OR = 43.83, Cramer's V value = 0.871, suggesting a very strong correlation. The presence of FS raised the probability of completely removing retained CC after SG or water-rinsing (p < 0.001, OR = 107.7 and 25.9), with Cramer's V = 0.66 and 0.57, respectively, means a very strong association, as compared to teeth without (For both p < 0.001).Conclusion: Chewing gum for 4 min was significantly more effective than water-rinsing for 1 min in removing retained CC.

The following periodontal parameters were assessed: BOP, PI, PD and number of residual pockets.Results: A total of 618 patients were included in this study (60.2% females and 39.8% males). BOP reduced from a median of 40% (IQR: 26.0%-62.0%) at baseline to 13% (IQR: 9.0%-20.3%) at re-evaluation in the gingivitis group (p < 0.0005).

PD of ≥ 5 mm was observed in 50.8% of patients with periodontitis at baseline; however, 38% of these patients had no residual pockets at re-evaluation.Conclusion: NSPT performed by senior dental students was effective in improving the periodontal status of the patients. Both gingivitis and periodontitis patients showed significant improvement in BOP and PI.

Groups G1-G5 were arranged in order from low to high toothpaste abrasiveness (G1: RDA: 12, G2: RDA: 29, G3: RDA: 43, G4: RDA: 71, and G5: RDA: 143). Samples in group G6 were used as a negative control and later brushed with pure artificial saliva. In preparation for testing, the dentin samples were stained with a black tea mixture. The respective toothpastes were mixed with artificial saliva in a 1:2 ratio to produce a toothpaste slurry. The samples were brushed for a total of 25 min (with measurement intervals at 2-, 5-, 10-, and 25-min) using a manual toothbrush in an automated brushing machine. The cleaning efficacy of the toothpastes was determined using photographs connected to a planimeter computer program and statistically evaluated.Results: Analysis of the median cleaning efficacy values showed that the toothpastes with a higher abrasiveness achieved a greater cleaning effect at each time point. All toothpastes showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in their cleaning efficacy (taking into account the median, interquartile range (IQR), minimum and maximum values) after 25 min of brushing.Conclusions: With increasing RDA value, the cleaning efficiency of the toothpastes tested rises.

This study aimed to assess the effects of 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel-impregnated dental floss on the clinical periodontal markers of patients with gingivitis.Material and methods: This clinical study adopted a split-mouth, randomised controlled trial design. After clinical data were assessed at baseline, and supragingival scaling was performed, bilateral gingivitis regions were randomly allocated to either the hyaluronic acid gel-impregnated floss group or just the floss group using a computer-generated randomisation table. Clinical parameters were recorded at 1, 2 and 4 weeks after treatment.Results: Over the 4-week trial period, all patients showed significant improvements in all clinical periodontal markers. The 1-week plaque index, 4-week gingival index and 4-week papillary bleeding index were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The use of hyaluronic acid-impregnated dental floss has resulted in more significant improvements in clinical periodontal parameters compared to dental floss alone.

For each brand, two samples from different production batches were purchased and labelled as sample 1 and sample 2. TF and TSF were determined chemically, while IF was measured with fluoride electrodes. The measured fluoride concentrations were compared with the labelled values and the recommended 1000-1500 ppm range for effective caries prevention.Results: In total, 40 toothpaste samples were analysed (20 from each of two batches). For TF, six toothpastes in sample 1 exceeded the standard limit of 1500 ppm, with a range of 2102-2462 ppm, while nine in sample 2 surpassed the limit, ranging from 1538 to 1846 ppm. Conversely, eight toothpastes in sample 1 and two in sample 2 were below the minimum recommended level of 1000 ppm, with ranges of 308-923 ppm and 615-923 ppm, respectively.
