Identifying associations between dental arch relationship scores, relative deprivation and other cleft audit outcomes. Part 2.

Identify associations between dental arch relationship scores, oral health status and deprivation index in patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). Ninety-two 5-year-old children with non-syndromic complete UCLP and thirty-nine 5-year-old children with non-syndromic complete BCLP from the United Kingdom. Data were collected from the 5-year audit outcomes submitted to the Cleft Registry and Audit Network (CRANE).

How Does Hypodontia Compare in Nonsyndromic Pierre Robin Sequence Versus Isolated Cleft Palate and Isolated Cleft Lip?

Objective: To assess the prevalence and patterns of hypodontia in nonsyndromic Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) and compare it with hypodontia in nonsyndromic isolated cleft palates and isolated cleft lips.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Alder Hey Children's Hospital, United Kingdom.

Identifying associations between dental arch relationship scores, relative deprivation and other cleft audit outcomes. Part 1.

Objectives: To assess whether dental arch relationship scores are associated with speech, audiological and psychology outcomes in patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP).

Setting And Sample Population: One hundred 5-year-old children with non-syndromic complete UCLP and forty-two 5-year-olds with non-syndromic complete BCLP from the United Kingdom.

Material And Methods: Data were collected from five-year audit clinics for dental arch relationships, speech, hearing and psychology outcomes.

Television advertisements for high-sugar foods and beverages: effect on children's snack food intake.

Energy-dense food advertising affects children's eating behaviour. However, the impact of high-sugar food advertising specifically on the intake of sweet foods is underexplored. This study sought to determine whether children would increase their intake of sugar and total energy following high-sugar food advertising (relative to toy advertising) and whether dental health, weight status and socio-economic status (SES) would moderate any effect.

Teaching orthodontic emergencies using the "flipped classroom" method of teaching-A mixed methods RCT.

Introduction: In the United Kingdom, the General Dental Council requires newly graduated dentists to be competent in managing orthodontic emergencies. Undergraduate students typically receive limited exposure to orthodontics, with teaching primarily delivered via conventional lectures. Flipped teaching involves knowledge being acquired in students' own time, with class time focussing on construction of meaning.

A randomised controlled trial to investigate the remineralising potential of Tooth Mousse™ in orthodontic patients.

Objective: To investigate the remineralisation of enamel subsurface lesions treated with fluoride toothpaste (1450 ppm) or a combination of fluoride toothpaste in addition to Tooth Mousse™.

Design: An in situ, cross-over, randomised controlled trial.

Setting: Orthodontic department at Liverpool University Dental Hospital, UK.

Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence-Digital as an oral hygiene evaluation tool to assess plaque accumulation and enamel demineralization in orthodontics.

Objective:   To assess the use of Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence-Digital as an oral hygiene evaluation tool during orthodontic treatment.

Materials And Methods:   In this prospective, randomized clinical trial, 33 patients undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance treatment were randomly allocated to receive oral hygiene reinforcement at four consecutive appointments using either white light (WL) or Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence-Digital (QLF) images, taken with a device, as visual aids. Oral hygiene was recorded assessing the QLF images for demineralization, by fluorescence loss (ΔF), and plaque coverage (ΔR30).
