Logistic regression estimated odds ratios (ORs), adjusting for sex, regular sweetened juice consumption, screen time > 1 h/day, parental tooth-brushing assistance, single-parent household and parental employment; sensitivity analyses adjusted for or excluded those with 18-month caries.Results: Of 69 165 children, 12 788 (18.5%) were breastfeeding at 18 months. Any caries (35.9% vs. 23.7%) and severe caries (19.2% vs. 10.5%) were more common in breastfeeding children. After behavioural and socioeconomic adjustment, breastfeeding remained associated with any caries (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.82-1.98) and severe caries (OR 2.14, 95% CI 2.03-2.26); associations persisted after adjustment for caries at 18 months (any caries OR 1.74; severe caries OR 1.87).Conclusion: Breastfeeding at 18 months was independently associated with higher odds of ECC at 3 years; reverse causation alone did not account for this.

Potassium iodide (KI) is often applied after SDF to mitigate tooth darkening.Aim: This in vitro study evaluated the effects of application time and potassium iodide on SDF-mediated MMP inhibition, and assessed surface microhardness following SDF ± KI application.Design: Seventy-two carious (ICDAS score 5 or 6) dentine blocks from 34 teeth were randomly assigned to one of four groups: baseline, SDF, SDF + KI and control. Total MMP activity was measured using a colorimetric assay. For enamel lesions, surface microhardness (VHN) was assessed on 20 enamel surfaces from 10 teeth (ICDAS 2).Results: After 1 week, SDF significantly inhibited total MMP activity by 93% (p < 0.001). SDF + KI showed a lower, not statistically significant level of inhibition of 55.5% (p = 0.07). Surface microhardness of enamel caries lesions increased by 66.8% (p < 0.0001) with SDF and by 71.5% (p < 0.0001) with SDF + KI. No significant difference was observed between 1 and 3 min of SDF application.Conclusion: In this in vitro model, SDF demonstrated strong MMP inhibition, while SDF + KI showed lower numerical inhibition, suggesting that KI may attenuate the anti-MMP effect of SDF.

Six databases were searched for studies reporting barriers and facilitators to repeated FV applications.Results: From 3616 records, 22 studies were included. Child-level barriers included behavioral distress, sensory aversion, and temporary medical exclusions. Family-level barriers included caregiver capacity, health literacy, and mobility. Provider-level barriers included workforce constraints, training, role boundaries limiting task-sharing, and weak school/community coordination. System-level barriers included inequitable reach to high-risk groups and geographic constraints. Facilitators included culturally safe, relationship-based engagement, task-sharing, school/community-based delivery with active follow-up systems, and child-centered engagement strategies. Meta-analysis demonstrated a pooled attrition rate of 23% (95% CI 8%-43%, n = 14 455).Conclusion: Adherence and attrition in public FV programs are shaped by interacting determinants across child, family, provider, and system levels.
