The aim of the study was to reveal the oral hygienic, nutritional and behavioral habits of Hungarian adult population in different regions of Hungary. The study was performed by the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry (Semmelweis University, Budapest) in 2003-2004. Altogether 4606 persons (mean age: 46.37 +/- 7.89ys), 2923 women (mean age: 48,09 +/- 18,36 ys), 1683 men (mean age: 44.41 +/- 17.14 ys) participated in the study. Probands were selected randomly from the population attending the compulsory lung screening examinations. To make a representative sample of the whole population in the country, the chosen localities covered all regions, the capital, the large towns and villages as well. The data were coded on special sheets by computer in place. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows 10.0 statistical software version. The daily consumption of sweets was the highest (34%) in the Western Central Region. It was the highest in the age group under 19 ys (40%). In relation to daily consumption of coke and soft drinks, the frequency was 13% in the whole population. The highest frequency was registered in the North Eastern Region (17.5%) and in the age group of 19-year-olds. The results showed that the consumption of soft drinks was significantly lower in women comparing to men (p < 0.001). The consumption of sweets and soft drinks was significantly decreased by the increase of age (p < 0.001). The asked population cleaned their teeth twice a day, mostly using only toothbrush and dentifrice, and only 12% of them used mouthwash, 11% toothpick, and 7% dental floss. The majority of the examined population (68%) visited dental service on an irregular base (only in case of acute complaints).

Cola beverage reduces risk of lead poisoning from accidental ingestion of contaminated soil particles in rat and swine models.
Nat Commun

School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
Accidental ingestion of lead (Pb)-contaminated soils represents a major route of Pb exposure for both adults and children, and the development of accessible and cost-effective solutions to reduce Pb poisoning is urgently required. Here, we present an effective and straightforward technique, involving the consumption of cola beverages, for the purpose of lowering blood Pb levels following the ingestion of contaminated soils in animal models. This method facilitated the direct passage of Pb in contaminated soil through the digestive system, enhancing its elimination without absorption into systemic circulation.

In addition, it aimed to highlight the importance of dietary behaviour in dentistry and, in this context, to identify tangible strategies for action in routine clinical practice. An electronic search was conducted between January 2022 and July 2024.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic consumption of two sugar-sweetened carbonated soft drinks - one containing caffeine (Coca-Cola®) and one without (Sprite®) - on the progression of periapical lesions and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in rats.
Methodology: Twelve Wistar rats were divided into three groups (n = 4): Control group, Coca-Cola group and Sprite group. The rats in Coca-Cola and Sprite groups were given ad libitum access to their respective soft drinks for 3 months, while the Control group received filtered water.
Bond strength to eroded dentin as per chlorhexidine use for controlling erosive wear or interface aging: an 18-month assay.

Universidade de São Paulo - USP, School of Dentistry, Department of Operative Dentistry, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a chlorhexidine digluconate solution (CHX) applied as an antiproteolytic agent for controlling erosive tooth wear or as part of the adhesive treatment on long-term bond strength to eroded dentin. Dentin specimens were abraded with a 600-grit silicon carbide (SiC) paper for 1 min (sound dentin - S), subsequently treated with 2% CHX for 1 min (with excess removed, followed by a 6-hour rest), and eroded by exposure to Coca-Cola for 5 min, three times a day, for 5 days (CHX-treated and eroded dentin - CHXE), or only eroded (eroded dentin - E). The specimens were acid-etched (15 s), rinsed (30 s), dried (15 s), and rehydrated with 1.
