Background: The financial burden of oral diseases is a growing concern as the medical expenses rise worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the dental expenditure, analyze its progressivity and horizontal inequality under the general health finance and insurance system, and identify the key social determinants of the inequality for Chinese adults.

Methods: A secondary analysis used the data of 13,464 adults from the 4th National Oral Health Epidemiological Survey (NOHES) in China was undertaken.

Aim: To compare efficacy of an anhydrous 0.454% w/w stannous fluoride/sodium fluoride toothpaste (Test) versus a sodium monofluorophosphate toothpaste (Negative control) and a stannous chloride/sodium fluoride toothpaste (Positive control) for dentine hypersensitivity relief after 8 weeks' twice-daily use.

Materials And Methods: In this randomized, examiner-blind, stratified, parallel study, primary and secondary efficacy variables were mean changes in Schiff score (evaporative [air] sensitivity) and tactile threshold (Yeaple probe), respectively, from baseline to Week 8 between Test (n = 62) and Negative control (n = 62).

Aim: This study aims to assess the microbiome variations related to intraoral halitosis and its relationship with volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) among periodontally healthy Chinese adults.

Material And Methods: Tongue coating samples were collected from 28 periodontally healthy subjects (16 subjects with halitosis and 12 subjects without halitosis) who fulfilled the selection criteria. The organoleptic score (OS) was used to evaluate the halitosis status.

Bacteriophages often constitute the majority of periodontal viral communities, but phages that infect oral bacteria remain uncharacterized. Here, we present the genetic analysis of the genome of a novel siphovirus, named Siphoviridae_29632, which was isolated from a patient with periodontitis using a viral metagenomics-based approach. Among 43 predicted open reading frames (ORFs) in the genome, the viral genes encoding structural proteins were distinct from the counterparts of other viruses, although a distant homology is shared among viral morphogenesis proteins.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the possible antagonistic effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus on Porphyromonas gingivalis, and detect inhibition of Lactobacillus acidophilus on Porphyromonas gingivalis when they are co-cultured with human gingival epithelial cells.

Materials And Methods: Human gingival epithelial cells were co-cultured with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Porphyromonas gingivalis alone or together. The amount of Porphyromonas gingivalis adhering to or invading the epithelial cells were determined by bacterial counts.
