AI Article Synopsis
- The study involved tracking preschool children into adolescence to observe the relationship between oral health and bullying.
- Key findings showed that untreated dental issues and low socioeconomic status increased the rates of both general and dental bullying among adolescents.
- The study concluded that untreated dental caries significantly influenced bullying behaviors, highlighting the need for attention to oral health in vulnerable populations.
Article Abstract
Design: Cohort study.
Study Population: 639 preschool children at baseline (T1) and 429 adolescents at follow-up (T2).
Outcome Measures: Oral health conditions (untreated dental caries, dental trauma and malocclusion, sense of coherence (SOC), self-perception of dental treatment needs, general and dental bullying.
Data Analysis: Chi-square test, t-test, structural equation modeling, goodness of fit.
Results: Untreated dental caries and low socioeconomic status impacted the occurrence of both general and dental bullying. SOC and self-perceived dental treatment need were also important factors in the occurrence of bullying.
Conclusions: The oral health condition that most impacted bullying episodes both directly and indirectly was untreated dental caries. Socioeconomic status was also an important cumulative predictor of the occurrence of episodes of bullying.

Recently, there has been a great interest in the development of innovative wound dressing materials based on natural bioactives, as they can accelerate the healing process and address the issues related to traditional wound dressings. The current study focuses on developing a novel derivative of guar gum (GG) and gallic acid (GA) using a simple, free radical-mediated polymerization reaction aimed at enhancing the antioxidant properties of GG. Multiple spectroscopic investigations were performed to validate the GA-GG conjugate.

Aims: Apical Periodontitis (AP) involves complex interactions between the root canal microbiome and the host immune response, with potential risk of local and systemic inflammatory burden, however there is no evidence available regarding correlation between microbiome and inflammatory marker levels. This study aims to identify the microbiome of saliva, intracanal and blood samples in AP subjects and investigate the correlation between intracanal and blood microbiomes with serum inflammatory biomarker levels, and salivary microbiomes with salivary inflammatory biomarker levels.
Methodology: Saliva, Intracanal and blood samples were collected from AP patients undergoing root canal retreatment.

Objectives: To evaluate the multifunctionality of silver-copper co-loaded mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), with the goal of developing an advanced pulp-capping material.
Methods: The synthesis of materials was conducted using the sol-gel method, following the approach described in previous studies but with some modifications. The composition included 80 mol% SiO₂, 15 mol% CaO, and 5 mol% P₂O₅, with additional components of 5 mol% silver, 5 mol% copper, or 1 mol% silver combined with 4 mol% copper, designated as Ag5/80S, Cu5/80S, or Ag1Cu4/80S, respectively.

Introduction White spot lesions (WSLs) are opacities formed due to decalcification occurring in the enamel's subsurface layer. These lesions are most commonly seen in patients during and after fixed orthodontic treatment due to undisturbed accumulation of plaque. Other factors that can predispose to WSLs are enamel hypomineralization, hypomaturation, hypoplasia, and disruption in the levels of salivary calcium, phosphate, bicarbonate, and fluoride.
