Objective: To evaluate volumetric changes over time in teeth treated with the Hall Technique (HT) and their opposing teeth. Secondary aims included assessing occluso-vertical dimension (OVD), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, and children's treatment perceptions.
Methods: Twenty-eight children (5-9 years-old) requiring HT treatment for one first primary molar were recruited.
There is limited evidence to support optimal patient-centered management for compromised first permanent molars (cFPM) in children. Based on an online discrete choice experiment (DCE), this study elicits UK adult general population preferences and calculates willingness to pay (WTP) for pathways to manage cFPM. The DCE was designed with information from semistructured interviews and literature reviews, as well as focus groups with an expert panel of dentists, citizens, and policy makers.

- - The study evaluated a behavior change intervention aimed at reducing dental caries in secondary school children in the UK, involving 4680 participants from 42 schools over 2.5 years, with a focus on schools with higher free school meal eligibility to address low household income.
- - Data collection included mixed methods such as self-reported questionnaires, staff feedback, and interviews to assess implementation fidelity, acceptability, and contextual factors surrounding the intervention.
- - While the intervention was mostly implemented as planned, challenges included inconsistent delivery of classroom sessions and technical issues with text messages; despite this, the intervention was generally deemed acceptable by participants.
Background: Dental caries is the world's most prevalent disease. Untreated caries can cause pain and negatively impact psychosocial health, functioning, and nutrition. It is important to identify cost-effective, easy-to-use agents, which can prevent or arrest caries.

Methods: 122, 3-8-year-olds were enrolled in 2-year parallel group randomised controlled trial (CR, n = 52, HT, n = 35, NRCT, n = 35). Caries was recorded using Nyvad criteria to measure clinical success/ failure rates.
