Free Sugars Consumption around Bedtime and Dental Caries in Children: A Systematic Review.

This systematic review aimed to assess the association between food and drink consumption around bedtime-specifically, food and drinks containing free sugars-and the risk of dental caries in children. Five electronic databases were searched (PubMed, Ovid Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus) to identify studies that investigated any relationship between food and drink around bedtime and dental caries in 3- to 16-y-old children. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality domain guidelines were used to assess the quality of the individual studies, while GRADE guidelines assessed the quality of studies based on the body of evidence.

A multi-variable analysis of four factors affecting caries levels among five-year-old children; deprivation, ethnicity, exposure to fluoridated water and geographic region.

Objective: To assess the role of factors posited to affect population caries levels across England.

Basic Research Design: Multivariable regression analysis assessing four potential determinants of caries severity and prevalence: deprivation, exposure to fluoridated water, ethnicity and geographic region Participants: Random sample of 121,875 five-year-old children in England in the 2014/15 academic year.

Main Outcome Measures: Decayed, missing and filled teeth, with decay measured at the dentinal level, (d₃mft), presented as prevalence (dmft⟩0) and extent of decay among children who have any (d₃mft if d₃mft>0).

Children's toothache is becoming everybody's business: where do parents go when their children have oral pain in London, England? A cross-sectional analysis.
