Despite the global burden of oral diseases, notably dental caries and periodontitis, advancements in dentifrice technology have contributed to the decline in caries prevalence, although periodontitis remains a challenge. The historical perspective outlines the transition from abrasive powders to fluoride-enriched pastes, emphasizing the significance of toothbrushing frequency and technique, alongside the use of dentifrices, for effective plaque control and caries prevention. The modern era has seen a proliferation of dentifrice variations, with a focus on cosmetic attributes often overshadowing therapeutic benefits. The review also discusses the environmental considerations of dentifrice production and disposal, highlighting the shift towards sustainable packaging and ingredient transparency. The market analysis reveals a mature industry with a projected growth, influenced by consumer preferences and oral hygiene awareness. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Regular toothbrushing with fluoridated dentifrice remains a cornerstone of oral hygiene practices, directly influencing the reduction of plaque accumulation and the incidence of caries and periodontitis.","PeriodicalId":35831,"journal":{"name":"Dental update","volume":"18 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139811266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review provides evidence-based information supporting the effectiveness of GIC sealants in caries prevention in comparison to CR sealants, by assessing their properties, methodology and utility in healthy and anomaly-affected teeth.

It explains the concept of ‘satisficing’ (as opposed to ‘maximizing’) in dentistry, and illustrates how subconscious bias and self-interests might lead supposed experts to promote arbitrary aspirational standards and confuse them with what the law expects (the Bolam Test standard) and what is genuinely in the best interests of an individual patient. It is argued that sound, patient-centred pragmatic planning and treatment is equally valid, with wider applicability than routinely defaulting to a self-serving ‘maximalist’ approach, often on spurious grounds. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The ‘satisficing’ concept has wide and profound application across many fields of dentistry; this first part explains the basic principles and how and why it is relevant to various aspects of practical dentistry and also to our understanding of professionalism.","PeriodicalId":35831,"journal":{"name":"Dental update","volume":"18 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139811075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
