Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the literature to assess the effect of dental fluorosis on the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL).
Materials And Methods: Included studies were epidemiological investigations, clinical trials, or human studies that directly compared the impact on OHRQoL between individuals with dental fluorosis and those without, utilizing valid OHRQoL assessment tools. The searches were conducted up to March 2024 in databases, including PubMed, Scielo, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and the Virtual Health Library.
Article Synopsis
- - This systematic review assesses how common erosive tooth wear (ETW) is among various risk groups, including those with gastroesophageal reflux disease, eating disorders, and those consuming acidic drinks or drugs.
- - Researchers analyzed 4403 studies, ultimately including 148, finding that different risk groups exhibited varying prevalence rates of ETW, with drugs and alcohol users experiencing the highest at 67%.
- - The findings emphasize the need for improved preventative dental care and monitoring for individuals in these at-risk groups, as they are significantly more likely to develop ETW.

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a special treatment that helps improve gum health when combined with regular dental cleanings, especially for people with type 1 diabetes.
- In a study with 38 patients, those with diabetes who received aPTD along with their regular treatment showed some improvement in gum health, but not as much as those without diabetes.
- Overall, aPDT helped reduce inflammation and improve gum conditions for both groups, but patients without diabetes had better results.
Introduction: This study investigated the effectiveness of titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) varnish compared to sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish for preventing and remineralizing white spot lesions (WSLs) in individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-blinded study was conducted with sixty-five adolescents who were selected based on caries activity and then randomized into three parallel groups: G1 (placebo varnish), G2 (5% NaF varnish), and G3 (4% TiF4 varnish). Volunteers received varnish application weekly for the first 4 weeks, after 6 (T1) and 12 (T2) months.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of proanthocyanidin, palm oil and vitamin E against erosive and erosive+abrasive challenges in vitro after enamel pellicle formation in situ.
Methodology: Bovine enamel blocks (n=84) were obtained and divided into the following treatment groups: negative control (NC) - deionized water; positive control (PC) - SnCl2/NaF/AmF-containing solution; palm oil (PO); 2% proanthocyanidin (P2); vitamin E (VitE); 2% proanthocyanidin+palm oil (P2PO); and 2% proanthocyanidin+vitamin E (P2VitE). For 5 days, one half of the sample from each group was subjected to erosion and the other half was subjected to erosion+abrasion.
