Objectives: Standalone oral health chatbots targeting young children's oral health are rare. The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of a standalone chatbot and a combination chatbot with in-person toothbrushing training for caregivers in improving young children's oral health.
Methods: A randomised, parallel, 2-group pretest-posttest design was employed with 320 caregiver-child pairs (aged 6-42 months).
Background: It is recommended that caregivers receive oral health education and in-person training to improve toothbrushing for young children. To strengthen oral health education before COVID-19, the 21-Day FunDee chatbot with in-person toothbrushing training for caregivers was used. During the pandemic, practical experience was difficult to implement.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an alcohol-free essential oils (EO) mouthwash compared to a standard fluoride mouthwash in improving oral hygiene among pregnant women over three months.
- One hundred fifty-four pregnant women were randomly assigned to use either the EO mouthwash or a control fluoride mouthwash, with measurements taken at the start, two weeks, and three months to assess oral hygiene indicators like gingival and plaque scores.
- While both mouthwashes showed overall improvement in oral hygiene over time, there was no significant difference between the two groups, indicating that the alcohol-free EO did not outperform the fluoride mouthwash.
Objective: To describe the felt needs of parents who have children from birth to 3 months of age with a cleft lip and palate.
Design: Parents were interviewed using structured and semistructured questions at 1 week and 1, 2, and 3 months after birth.
Participants: Fifteen parents, including 12 mothers and three fathers, of patients with cleft lip and palate aged 0 to 3 months were interviewed.
Objective: To clarify whether oral health care behavior or oral cleft status influences early childhood caries in southern Thailand cleft children.
Design: A comparative cross-sectional study.
Patients, Participants: A total of 138 southern Thai children aged 18 to 36 months comprised two groups of 69 participants, one with cleft lip and/or palate and controls with no cleft.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how dentists' beliefs and attitudes might hinder their ability to provide dental care to young children, using the Barriers to Childhood Caries Treatment (BaCCT) Questionnaire as a measurement tool.
- - A total of 2,333 dentists from 14 countries participated, revealing four potential barriers to care, with key issues being young children's coping abilities and dentists' personal stress and time constraints.
- - The research concluded that while the BaCCT Questionnaire is a valid tool, the ability of dentists to provide care is influenced by healthcare systems and these effects differ by country, indicating a need for further research in this area.
Unlabelled: OBJECTIVE; The aim of this international study was to develop a valid and reliable psychometric measure to examine the extent to which parents' attitudes about engaging in twice-daily tooth brushing and controlling sugar snacking predict these respective behaviours in their children. A supplementary objective was to assess whether ethnic group, culture, level of deprivation or children's caries experience impact upon the relationships between oral health related behaviours, attitudes to these respective behaviours and to dental caries.
Clinical Setting: Nurseries, health centres and dental clinics in 17 countries.
