Background: Food insecurity (FI) is associated with dietary practices, which can act as a risk factor for dental caries.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between FI and dental caries prevalence in children and adolescents.
Design: MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, SCOPUS, ISI web of knowledge, Cochrane, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global database (up to April 19, 2022) as well as reference lists were searched.
Advances have been made in the composition of flowable composites in recent years and self-adhering composites, which do not require a bonding agent, have recently been introduced to the market. This study aimed to assess the microshear bond strength (µSBS) of a self-adhering flowable composite (Vertise) to primary enamel treated with a graphite disc with silicon carbide particles (SIC) and laser irradiation, the result of which was compared to that of a conventional flowable composite (Premise). In this in vitro, experimental study, 72 samples of sound primary enamel were evaluated.

Methods: In this randomized, controlled, split-mouth, clinical trial, 25 healthy five- to eight-year-olds, with 50 carious primary mandibular second molars lacking clinical and radiographic evidence of pulp pathology, were selected. The selected teeth were randomly assigned into two groups, PP and FP, for vital pulp therapy.
Objectives: There is some evidence that water rinsing immediately after topical fluoride therapy has the potential to reduce the effectiveness of fluoride. The aim was to determine if covering fluoridated teeth with a layer of mousse containing CPP-ACP could prevent the adverse effect of rinsing on fluoride and consequently its buffering effect on dental plaque pH during cariogenic challenge.
Study Design: This randomized, controlled, crossover, in situ study was conducted on 25 participants.
Purpose: This study's purpose was to determine whether rinsing with water or cleansing teeth after topical fluoride therapy affected plaque acidity.
Methods: This randomized, controlled, crossover, in situ study was conducted on 25 dental students who wore an acrylic mandibular appliance containing one enamel block. The patients were subjected to four treatment protocols involving acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) application followed by rinsing the mouth with water: (1) after 30 minutes (APF-30); (2) after 15 minutes (APF-15); (3) immediately (APF-0); after cleansing the teeth with a cotton roll immediately following APF (APF-cotton); or (4) no fluoride therapy (control).
