Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between lifestyle factors, including second-hand smoke exposure, and the occurrence of dental caries in 3-year-old children in Wuxi, China.
- Among 283 children, the prevalence of dental caries was found to be 29.3%, with various factors like sleep duration, snack interest, and birth weight showing significant associations.
- The findings suggest that the use of fluoride can reduce dental caries risk, while strong interest in snacks increases it; the study highlights the need for more awareness and coordinated efforts to improve children's oral health.

Purpose: To establish an animal model of orthodontic rapid tooth movement through distraction osteogenesis of the periodontal ligament and assess the cell proliferation including osteoblasts, osteoclasts and bone cells.
Methods: Forty rats were randomly divided into experimental and orthodontic control group, and received BrdU injection at the beginning of distraction intraperiotoneally. Traditional orthodontic model was established in the control group.
