The search was carried out in August 2023 on Web of Science. Two researchers selected the articles and excluded conference articles. The following data were extracted from the selected articles: citations, year and journal of publication, study design and theme, authorship and institutions, keywords, country and continent. Collaborative networks were generated using the software Vosviewer. Dimensions were consulted to measure altmetric data. Correlation between data was determined by the Sperman's test. A total of 351 articles were included. The number of citations ranged from 0 to 230. The articles were published between 2007 and 2023. The most prominent journal was Journal of Dentistry (n = 36). The majority were laboratory studies (n = 171) evaluating the performance of RI to mask white spot lesions (n = 248), mainly due to caries (n = 256). The country with the most articles was Brazil (n = 51), however the biggest highlight was Europe (n = 141). The most prominent author was Meyer-Luckel H (n = 33). Vosviewer indicated strong collaborations between authors. According to Dimensions, most citations were from Mendeley followed by X users. This study identified an emerging trend in research on RI in dentistry. Based on this review, most research interest in RI was from Europe, addressing the use of RI to arrest and mask white spot lesions. It is concluded that more intervention studies are needed and that Africa and Oceania have a low publication rate.</p>","PeriodicalId":9240,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian oral research","volume":"39 ","pages":"e067"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12237412/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144607412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standardized forms and records of dmft/DMFT and modified developmental defects of enamel (mDDE) were used. Inter- and intraexaminer agreement was assessed, with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.93 for DDE and 0.81 for caries. The data were tabulated using SPSS 20.0.

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test revealed a nonnormal distribution pattern of the data (p <0.001). Therefore, numerical variables were subjected to the Mann-Whitney test to verify statistically significant differences (p = 0.05).

This review aims to explore why ECC continues to occur despite the oral health team having the necessary knowledge to prevent it. Based on current scientific evidence, this article highlights the need for the oral health team to consider additional factors, such as implementing oral health prevention programs in the first 450 days of life, enhancing caregivers' oral health literacy, creating a supportive environment, and engaging in upstream actions (teledentistry, implementation science, health policies development etc.) to effectively manage and prevent dental caries.

A structured questionnaire was developed and applied to collect information on participants' professional profiles, clinical indications, materials, techniques, and perceptions of pit and fissure sealants. The study outcomes were the positive perception of sealant use as: (a) a preventive measure, or (b) a therapeutic approach to carious lesions.

A total of 2,394 dentists participated in the study, 82.5% of whom had a positive perception of sealants for prevention, and 83.1%, for therapeutic purposes. A greater likelihood of positive perception of preventive sealant use was observed among educators, those employed in public health services, dentists who \"always\" performed sealant application, and those who used resin sealant, glass ionomer cement, or flowable resin.

The overall prevalence of hypomineralization in primary teeth was 18.5%, with second molars affected in 17% and canines in 6.7% of the cases, while other teeth were affected at lower rates.
