A systematic review of school-based student peer-led oral health interventions to promote the oral health of school children.

Background: Poor oral health in children highlights the need for prevention and effective interventions. During late childhood and adolescence, peer relationships can play a vital role in adopting and maintaining positive health behaviours.

Aim: To identify the oral health outcomes of school-based student peer-led delivery of oral health interventions.

Facilitators and barriers to home-based toothbrushing practices by parents of young children to reduce tooth decay: a systematic review.

Objectives: Parental supervised toothbrushing (PSB) is a collection of behaviours recommended by national guidance to improve oral health. This systematic review aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators to PSB.

Materials And Methods: Studies investigating parental involvement in home-based toothbrushing in children under 8 years old and the impact on tooth decay were included.

Home-based toothbrushing interventions for parents of young children to reduce dental caries: A systematic review.

Background: Dental caries is the most prevalent preventable condition in children. A key preventive home-based oral health behaviour is the adoption and maintenance of parental supervised toothbrushing until 8 years of age.

Aim: To examine interventions promoting parental supervised toothbrushing practices to reduce dental caries in young children (<8 years old).
