Purpose:
Early restorative interventions may have important implications in young patients, and the International Caries Classification and Management System strongly recommends non-surgical strategies in the management of dental caries. We aimed to assess management of interproximal and occlusal caries in children and adolescents (≤18 years of ag...
Objective
This article is aimed at providing an overview of the topic of erosive tooth wear (ETW), highlighting the clinical signs, diagnosis, and management of dental erosion.
Overview
With the increased prevalence of ETW, it is important that oral health professionals are able to recognize the early signs. Early clinical signs of dental erosion...

Materials and methods:
Data were collected from the electronic patient record system. A follow-up letter was sent to the subjects' mailing address explaining the research purpose along with a questionnaire to ass...
Despite the efforts that have been made in dental education and clinical practice to adopt the evidence‐informed, risk‐based, nonsurgical caries management approach, the surgical treatment approach continues to prevail. There is an urgent need to understand resistance to such a paradigm shift and establish a coordinated evidence‐based Cariology tea...
Dental erosion (DE) is a well-accepted multifactorial form of tooth wear involving acids. Due to its irreversible nature, recognizing the early signs is important to develop appropriate preventive strategies. However, its place in dental curricula remains unclear. Consensus has not been established regarding the integration of erosive tooth wear in...
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF), a low-cost topical agent used in many countries to arrest dental caries, was cleared as a desensitizing agent by the Food & Drug Administration for the U.S. market in 2014. The aim of this study was to survey U.S. dental schools regarding their teaching of SDF. Email invitations were sent to all accredited U.S. predoc...

Artificial flavoring liquids or powders, known as water enhancers (WEs), have been introduced to the market to...
