The Authors briefly illustrate some recent findings about the selection of high caries risk groups. The aim of this study is to review some of the main contributes of the literature of the last years. The attention has been mainly focused on the used experimental design. From this review it can be concluded that it is necessary a better comparability of the results among the different groups of researchers working on this problem. It could also be suggested an improvement of the predictive value of the tests by their combined use.

Research demonstrates associations between oral health and specific mental health conditions in the general population, yet these relationships remain understudied during pregnancy, despite pregnancy's profound effects on both oral and psychological well-being. Our rapid review examines current evidence on associations between oral health conditions and psychological states (anxiety, depression, and stress) during pregnancy, aiming to inform and strengthen integrated prenatal care strategies. Following PRISMA-RR guidelines, we conducted a systematic search on OVID Medline, CINAHL, and PsycINFO (January 2000-November 2024) for studies examining relationships between oral health conditions (periodontal disease, dental caries) and psychological status during pregnancy and up to one year postpartum.

Introduction: Oral health is a crucial factor for service safety among military pilots, but studies specifically on pilots are still very few in Finland. The aim of this study was to assess the oral health status of military student pilots compared to other conscripts of the same age group.

Materials And Methods: The data were collected during the oral health examinations of the annual class of the Pilot Reserve Officer Course students at the beginning of their duty at the Air Force Academy (N = 38).

Objectives: The primary objective of this systematic review was to analyze the overall prevalence of distal caries in mandibular second molars (MSMs) associated with the presence of impacted mandibular third molars (IMTMs). Secondary objectives were to determine how IMTM position and level of impaction influence the occurrence of distal caries.

Materials And Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed.

Purpose: Coronectomy is a valuable treatment proven safe for non-pathological mandibular third molars with an increased risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury. Coronectomy may also be useful for mandibular third molars with dentigerous cysts and caries, but this is not commonly performed due to the lack of well-designed, evidence-based studies. Here, we aim to investigate the safety of coronectomy for mandibular third molars with caries and dentigerous cysts.
