Objective: This clinical trial aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of diode laser gingivectomy, conventional gingivectomy, and nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) in the management of gingival enlargement (GE) during orthodontic treatment.

Materials and methods: forty-five healthy, orthodontic patients with labial gingival enlargement on the 6 anterior teeth were selected and randomly assigned to one of the groups (Conventional, Laser, and NSPT). Clinical parameters including clinical crown length (CCL) , periodontal pocket depth (PPD), and vertical gingival overgrowth index (vGOi) were recorded at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. Postoperative pain was evaluated at 1,3, and 7 days. Esthetic satisfaction and acceptance of the procedure were recorded on day 10 and repeated after 6 months.

Results: Statistically significant results were obtained for mean reduction in PPD for conventional, laser, and NSPT groups (-1.43, -.1.75, and -0.9 mm, respectively; P < 0.001), CCL gain (1.45, 1.7, and 0.38 mm, respectively; P<0.001) and mean vGOi score (-1.14, -1.29 and -0.76, respectively; P<0.001) over 6 months. Both test groups showed greater statistically significant changes in clinical parameters over 6 months compared to NSPT (P<0.001). There was a gradual decrease in postoperative pain for all three groups over 7 days, with conventional group showing statistical difference in mean pain score on days 1 and 3 compared to other groups.

Conclusion: Both conventional and laser gingivectomies were more effective in controlling enlargement over non-surgical periodontal treatment alone at 1, 3, and 6 months.

Clinical significance: laser and conventional gingivectomies as adjunctive treatments achieved superior results when compared to NSPT alone in the treatment of GE and gingival inflammation during orthodontic treatment, with no significant clinical differences between the two treatments.

研究目的本临床试验旨在评估和比较二极管激光龈切除术、传统龈切除术和非手术牙周治疗(NSPT)在正畸治疗期间治疗牙龈增生(GE)的有效性。材料和方法:选择 45 名健康的、6 颗前牙唇侧牙龈增生的正畸患者,将其随机分配到其中一组(传统组、激光组和 NSPT 组)。在基线、1个月、3个月和6个月时记录临床参数,包括临床牙冠长度(CCL)、牙周袋深度(PPD)和垂直龈过度生长指数(vGOi)。术后 1、3 和 7 天对疼痛进行评估。第 10 天记录美容满意度和对手术的接受程度,6 个月后再次进行记录:结果:传统组、激光组和 NSPT 组的 PPD 平均减少量(分别为-1.43、-1.75 和 -0.9毫米;P < 0.001)、CCL 增加量(分别为 1.45、1.7 和 0.38 毫米;PC 结论:传统组和激光组的牙龈切除术均能达到预期效果:临床意义:在正畸治疗期间,激光和传统龈切开术作为辅助治疗方法在治疗GE和牙龈炎症方面比单纯的NSPT取得了更好的效果,两种治疗方法之间没有显著的临床差异。

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the impact of photobiomodulation (PBM) and/or azithromycin (AZM) therapy in combination with full-mouth subgingival instrumentation (FSI) on receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels and RANKL/OPG ratios in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) on patients with stage III-IV grade C periodontitis.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 77 stage III-IV grade C periodontitis patients and 20 periodontally healthy controls. Patients with stage III-IV grade C periodontitis were categorized into four treatment groups: 1) only FSI (FSI) group; 2) FSI+AZM (AZM) group; 3)FSI+PBM (PBM) group and 4) FSI+PBM+AZM (AZM+PBM) group. Clinical periodontalparameters and RANKL and OPG levels and RANKL/OPG ratios in GCF were measured at thebaseline and month 3rd of the therapy.

Results: Compared with the periodontally healthy controls,all the baseline clinical parameters were higher in the Stage III-IV grade C periodontitis groups (P< 0.05); however, there were no statistically significant differences between the Stage III-IV gradeC periodontitis groups (P>0.05). In month 3rd, the lowest values in all clinical parameters weregenerally observed in the antibiotics groups whereas the highest values were observed in the FSIgroup. Furthermore, the highest RANKL and OPG values in antibiotic groups and the highestRANKL/OPG ratio in PBM group were observed in the third months. RANKL/OPG ratios did notchange in the FSI and antibiotics groups after the treatment, but it increased significantly in thePBM group.

Conclusion: While PBM treatment combined with FSI increases the RANKL levels,AZM increases OPG levels. Also, PBM+AZM treatment shows additional clinical andimmunological beneficial efficacy.

研究目的本研究旨在探讨光生物调制(PBM)和/或阿奇霉素(AZM)疗法联合全口龈下器械治疗(FSI)对III-IV期C级牙周炎患者龈沟液(GCF)中核因子κB配体受体激活剂(RANKL)和骨保护gerin(OPG)水平以及RANKL/OPG比率的影响:研究对象为 77 名 III-IV 期 C 级牙周炎患者和 20 名牙周健康对照组。将 III-IV 期 C 级牙周炎患者分为四个治疗组:1)仅 FSI(FSI)组;2)FSI+AZM(AZM)组;3)FSI+PBM(PBM)组;4)FSI+PBM+AZM(AZM+PBM)组。在治疗基线期和第3个月测量临床牙周参数和GCF中RANKL、OPG水平及RANKL/OPG比值:与牙周健康的对照组相比,III-IV期C级牙周炎组的所有基线临床参数都更高(P< 0.05),但III-IV期C级牙周炎组之间的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。在第 3 个月,抗生素组的所有临床参数值普遍最低,而 FSI 组的临床参数值最高。此外,抗生素组的 RANKL 和 OPG 值最高,PBM 组的 RANKL/OPG 比率最高。治疗后,FSI 组和抗生素组的 RANKL/OPG 比值没有变化,但 PBM 组的 RANKL/OPG 比值显著增加:结论:PBM治疗联合FSI可增加RANKL水平,而AZM可增加OPG水平。此外,PBM+AZM 治疗还具有额外的临床和免疫学疗效。

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the stress distribution on tooth and restoration of zirconia endocrowns with pulp chamber or intracanal extension and zirconia post performed maxillary first molar using finite element analysis.

Method and materials: Three three-dimensional endodontically treated maxillary molars were modeled. Cortical bone and cementum were modeled 2 mm and 200 μm in thickness. Periodontal ligament at 250 μm thickness was constructed. Zirconia endocrown with pulp chamber extension of 2 mm (Model E+PCE), zirconia endocrown with intracanal extension of 4 mm (Model E+ICE), and zirconia post of 4 mm and crown (ZP) were modeled using software. All restoration models were placed on the maxillary molars. Models were subjected to 400 N loading from the three occlusal contact points. Von Mises stress was recorded.

Results: Expectingly, points where the stress was applied showed high stress compared to other regions of the models. The stress did not occur at the trifurcation in any of the models. For the stresses occurring in the restoration material, there were 14.67 MPa, 57.79 MPa, and 155.56 MPa, in Models E+PCE, E+ICE, and ZP, respectively. At the remaining dentin, these values were 47.04 MPa, 32.85 MPa, and 33.42 MPa in Models E+PCE, E+ICE, and ZP, respectively.

Conclusions: Within the limitation of the study, zirconia endocrowns with intracanal extension exhibit more favorable stress distribution in both restoration material and dentin compared to zirconia posts and pulpal extension endocrowns. These findings suggest that endocrown with intracanal extension may be a better restorative option for reducing stress.

研究目的该研究旨在使用有限元分析法评估上颌第一磨牙中带有牙髓腔或根管内延伸的氧化锆内冠和氧化锆桩的牙齿和修复体的应力分布:对三颗经过牙髓治疗的上颌磨牙进行三维建模。皮质骨和骨水泥的厚度分别为 2 毫米和 200 微米。牙周韧带的厚度为 250 微米。使用软件制作了牙髓腔延伸 2 毫米的氧化锆内冠(E+PCE 型)、牙髓腔内延伸 4 毫米的氧化锆内冠(E+ICE 型)以及 4 毫米的氧化锆柱和牙冠(ZP 型)。所有修复模型都放置在上颌磨牙上。从三个咬合接触点对模型施加 400 N 的负荷。记录冯米斯应力:结果:与模型的其他区域相比,受力点的应力较高。在所有模型中,三叉点都没有出现应力。修复材料中的应力在 E+PCE、E+ICE 和 ZP 模型中分别为 14.67 兆帕、57.79 兆帕和 155.56 兆帕。在剩余牙本质上,模型 E+PCE、E+ICE 和 ZP 的这些值分别为 47.04 兆帕、32.85 兆帕和 33.42 兆帕:在研究的限制条件下,与氧化锆桩和牙髓延伸内冠相比,具有牙髓内延伸的氧化锆内冠在修复材料和牙本质中都表现出更有利的应力分布。这些研究结果表明,带有牙髓内扩展的内冠可能是减少应力的更好的修复选择。

Objectives: To evaluate clasp-retained removable partial dentures (C-RPDs) with a metal framework for survival, maintenance requirements, and biologic implications.

Method and materials: C-RPDs were retrospectively analyzed based on patient records. Treatment failure was defined as fracture of a framework component (metal base or connector) or loss of an abutment tooth. Other outcome variables included factors that might conceivably impact C-RPD survival (maxilla vs mandible, Kennedy classes, opposing dentitions, treatment by students vs certified dental practitioners), mobility and caries of abutment teeth (in relation to clasp designs), and maintenance requirements (relining, clasp or resin fractures). Differences were evaluated by appropriate statistical tests at the P ≤ .05 level.

Results: A total of 612 patients (339 men, 273 women) 60.0 ± 11.5 years old at delivery were included, covering 842 C-RPDs and a mean observation period of 42.1 ± 33.2 months. Kaplan-Meier C-RPD survival was 76.2% after 5 years and 49.5% after 10 years. Biologic complications (ie, loss of abutment teeth) accounted for the vast majority (95.6%) of C-RPD failures, and Kaplan-Meier C-RPD survival was significantly better in the mandible (P = .015). Some clasp designs contributed significantly to caries and removal of abutment teeth (both P .05). No other significant differences were noted.

Conclusion: Tooth loss both emerges as the main cause of C-RPD failure and might be amenable to careful selection of clasp designs. Overall, better C-RPD survival should be expected in the mandible. A noncontributory role of Kennedy classes and opposing dentitions is tentatively suggested based on numerically heterogenous subgroups.

目的评估带有金属框架的带扣可摘局部义齿(C-RPD)的存活率、维护要求和生物学影响:根据患者记录对 C-RPD 进行回顾性分析。治疗失败的定义是框架部件(金属基托或连接体)断裂或基牙脱落。其他结果变量包括可能影响C-RPD存活率的因素(上颌与下颌、肯尼迪等级、对生牙、学生治疗与认证牙医治疗)、基牙的移动性和龋坏(与扣环设计有关)以及维护要求(重新衬垫、扣环或树脂断裂)。差异通过适当的统计检验进行评估,P ≤ .05 为差异水平:共纳入 612 名患者(男性 339 人,女性 273 人),分娩时年龄为 60.0 ± 11.5 岁,共进行了 842 次 C-RPD 治疗,平均观察时间为 42.1 ± 33.2 个月。卡普兰-米尔 C-RPD 5 年后存活率为 76.2%,10 年后存活率为 49.5%。生物并发症(即基牙脱落)占了C-RPD失败的绝大多数(95.6%),下颌骨的Kaplan-Meier C-RPD存活率明显更高(P = .015)。一些卡环设计明显导致基牙龋坏和脱落(P 均 < .05)。结论:结论:牙齿脱落是导致 C-RPD 失败的主要原因,仔细选择牙扣设计可能会有所帮助。总体而言,下颌骨的 C-RPD 成活率更高。根据数量上的异质性亚组,初步认为肯尼迪等级和对生牙的作用并不重要。

Objectives: The study examines the impact of changes on dental education and practice in Europe, including the development of new practice models such as investor-owned dental centers and practice chains.

Method and materials: This study aimed to collect and critically examine data regarding the care environment, education, and organizational structures of the dental profession across European Regional Organization of the FDI World Dental Federation (ERO) member states and other countries in the World Health Organization European region. A questionnaire from the ERO was used.

Results: National dental associations across 45 countries participated. An average of 1,459.79 (SD ± 800.80) inhabitants per dental practitioner was found, with independent practices being the most prevalent form of dental practice (48.65% ± 28.28%) followed by employment in private practice (24.32% ± 20.33%), and joint practices (15.27% ± 20.39%). There are statistically significantly more state universities than private universities (P .01); the percentage of females attending dental schools was statistically significantly higher than males (P .01). Two-thirds of the participating countries (n = 30, 66.67%) have legal frameworks allowing various stakeholders, including investors, and local communities, to establish dental health care centers.

Conclusions: The findings highlight the evolving landscape of the dental profession in Europe and its regulatory context. There is a clear need for ongoing evaluations and adjustments in educational and practice frameworks to ensure and maintain high-quality oral health care. Future research should delve into the various professional dental practice forms and incorporate qualitative, care-related, and patient-centered considerations for a more thorough understanding of Europe's oral health care dynamics.

Two cases of pain evoked by cold food ingestion, following root canal therapy, are presented. The source of pain was detected when cold application to the vestibular, periapical area corresponding to the teeth involved evoked strong pain of about 30-second durations. In the first case, the patient suffered from strong pain in the mandibular right area over the last 4 months. After successive root canal therapy of three mandibular right teeth, the spontaneous pain eased significantly, but strong pain evoked by cold food ingestion persisted. Cold application to the vestibular periapical area of teeth involved identified the source of pain, which was abolished by 80 mg/day of slow-release propranolol. In the second case, cold allodynia developed after root canal therapy. The root canal therapy was performed for prosthetic reasons with no prior pain. Pain could be duplicated by cold application to the vestibular area of the treated tooth. The patient preferred no treatment when the source of pain was explained. In both cases cold application did not produce any pain in other intraoral locations, including the contralateral vestibular area or the mid soft or hard palate. Pain mechanisms, neurovascular and neuropathic, which differ for each case are discussed.

本文介绍了两例根管治疗(RCT)后因摄入冷食而诱发疼痛的病例。当冷敷在与所涉牙齿相对应的前庭、根尖周围区域引起持续约 30 秒的强烈疼痛时,就能检测到疼痛的来源。在第一个病例中,患者的右下颌区域在过去 4 个月中一直有强烈的疼痛感。在连续对 3 颗右下颌牙齿进行 RCT 治疗后,自发疼痛明显缓解,但因进食冷食而诱发的强烈疼痛持续存在。对相关牙齿的前庭根尖周围区域进行冷敷确定了疼痛的来源,每天服用 80 毫克的缓释普萘洛尔可消除疼痛。第二例患者在接受 RCT 治疗后出现了冷异感。RCT 是由于修复原因而进行的,之前没有疼痛。冷敷治疗过的牙齿的前庭区域可以重复产生疼痛。在解释了疼痛的原因后,患者倾向于不进行治疗。在这两个病例中,冷敷在口腔内的其他位置,包括对侧前庭区域、软腭中部或硬腭都不会产生任何疼痛。本文讨论了每个病例不同的疼痛机制--神经血管性和神经病理性。

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between preventative dental practices and cardiometabolic health in adolescents.

Method and materials: Analysis included children aged 13 to 17 years enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018 who completed an Oral Health Examination and Questionnaire. Deferred dental care was defined as not having a dental visit in the past year. Financial barriers to seeking dental care (vs no financial barriers) were assessed among those with deferred dental care in the past year. Primary cardiometabolic outcomes included obesity, elevated blood pressure, and hypertensive blood pressure. Secondary outcomes included dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, uric acid, glomerular hyperfiltration, and albuminuria. Regression models adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, household income, food insecurity, health insurance status, household education, and body mass index z-score examined associations using complex survey design procedures.

Results: Of 2,861 adolescents, 17.6% (SE 0.9%) did not receive dental care in the past year and 20.2% (SE 1.9%) had a financial barrier to accessing dental care. In adjusted regression models, adolescents with deferred dental care had higher odds of dyslipidemia (odds ratio [OR]= 1.51, 95% CI 1.07 to 2.11, P = .020). Having a financial barrier was associated with lower odds of dyslipidemia (OR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.89, P = .03). Financial barriers were associated with lower non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (b = -7.95, 95% CI -14.87 to -1.05, P = .03) and higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (b = 3.06, 95% CI 0.37 to 5.75, P = .03) in adjusted models. Deferred dental care and financial barriers were not associated with any other cardiometabolic parameters.

Conclusion: In this nationally representative cohort of adolescents, there was an association between lack of preventative dental care and the cardiometabolic health marker of dyslipidemia. However, financial barriers to dental care were surprisingly associated with higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and lower odds of dyslipidemia.

研究目的本研究旨在确定预防性牙科保健方法与青少年心脏代谢健康之间的关系:分析对象包括2011-2018年期间参加美国国家健康与营养调查(NHANES)并完成口腔健康检查和问卷调查的13-17岁儿童。推迟牙科保健被定义为在过去一年中未进行牙科就诊。对过去一年推迟牙科保健的人群中寻求牙科保健的经济障碍(与无经济障碍相比)进行了评估。主要的心脏代谢结果包括肥胖、血压升高和高血压。次要结果包括血脂异常、葡萄糖不耐受、尿酸、肾小球高滤过率和白蛋白尿。利用复杂的调查设计程序,对年龄、性别、种族、家庭收入、食品不安全状况、医疗保险状况、家庭教育和体重指数 z 值进行调整后的回归模型检验了相关性:在2861名青少年中,17.6%(SE 0.9%)的青少年在过去一年中没有接受过牙科治疗,20.2%(SE 1.9%)的青少年在接受牙科治疗时存在经济障碍。在调整回归模型中,推迟接受牙科治疗的青少年出现血脂异常的几率更高(OR= 1.51,95% CI 1.07,2.11 p = 0.020)。有经济障碍的青少年患血脂异常的几率较低(OR=0.35,95% CI 0.14,0.89 p = 0.03)。在调整模型中,经济障碍与较低的非高密度脂蛋白(b=-7.95,95% CI -14.87,-1.05 p=0.03)和较高的高密度脂蛋白(b=3.06,95% CI 0.37,5.75 p=0.03)相关。推迟牙科保健和经济障碍与任何其他心脏代谢参数无关:在这个具有全国代表性的青少年队列中,缺乏预防性牙科保健与血脂异常这一心脏代谢健康指标之间存在关联。然而,令人惊讶的是,牙科保健的经济障碍与较高的高密度脂蛋白水平和较低的血脂异常几率有关。

Objectives: Diode laser represents a practical clinical strategy for treating gingival hyperpigmentation. However, its effectiveness remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the quantitative effects of diode laser therapy on gingival hyperpigmentation.

Method and materials: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for the use of diode laser in gingival hyperpigmentation. The primary outcomes assessed were the Dummett-Gupta Oral Pigmentation Index (DOPI), visual analog scale pain scores, and the Wound Healing Index (WHI) for overall evaluation. The I2 index was calculated to identify heterogeneity, and sensitivity analyses were performed to identify sources of heterogeneity. Funnel plots and the Egger test were utilized to evaluate publication bias.

Results: Thirteen randomized controlled trials involving a total of 233 participants were included in the study. The analysis demonstrated that diode laser had a significant effect on DOPI (standard mean difference [SMD] = -0.245, 95% CI -0.451 to -0.040, P = .019) and pain (SMD = -0.809, 95% CI -1.332 to -0.285, P = .002), with no significant effect on WHI (SMD = -0.224, 95% CI -1.100 to 0.653, P = .617). Despite the significant heterogeneity in VAS and WHI indicated by the I2 index statistic, the sensitivity analyses' results demonstrated the main findings' reliability. While no significant publication bias was detected for DOPI and WHI, the pain results exhibited notable publication bias.

Conclusion: The study demonstrated that diode laser prolongs gingival repigmentation time and reduces pain compared to other treatments. However, efficacy in wound healing was not significantly affected.

目的:二极管激光是治疗牙龈色素沉着的一种实用临床策略。然而,其有效性仍存在争议。我们进行了一项荟萃分析,评估二极管激光疗法对牙龈色素沉着的定量效果:系统检索了 Pubmed、Embase、Web Of Science 和 Cochrane Library 中有关二极管激光治疗牙龈色素沉着的内容。评估的主要结果是杜梅特-古普塔口腔色素沉着指数(Dummett-Gupta Oral Pigmentation Index,DOPI)、视觉模拟量表(Visual Analog Scale,VAS)疼痛评分以及用于整体评估的伤口愈合指数(Wound Healing Index,WHI)。计算 I2 指数以确定异质性,并对异质性的来源进行敏感性分析。利用漏斗图和 Egger 检验来评估发表偏倚:本研究纳入了 13 项随机对照试验(RCT),共有 233 人参与。分析表明,二极管激光对 DOPI(标准平均差 [SMD] =;-0.245,95% CI =;-0.415 至 -0.040,P =;.019)和 VAS(SMD =;-0.089,95% CI =;-1.332 至 -0.285,P =;.002),对 WHI 无显著影响(SMD =;-0.224,95% CI =;-1.100 至 0.653,P =;.617)。尽管I2指数统计显示VAS和WHI存在明显的异质性,但敏感性分析结果证明了主要研究结果的可靠性。虽然DOPI和WHI未发现明显的发表偏倚,但VAS结果显示出明显的发表偏倚:研究表明,与其他治疗方法相比,二极管激光可延长牙龈再色素沉着时间并减轻疼痛。然而,对伤口愈合的疗效并没有明显提高。

Objectives: Prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) among general dental practitioners and orthodontists is approximated to range between 64% and 93%. Etiology of WRMSDs in the mentally and physically demanding occupation remains unclear, for which reason the aim of the study was to clarify the interplay of physical, psychological, and mental factors on WRMSDs.

Method and materials: Of 94 orthodontists and 187 general dental practitioners (mean age = 35 years) questioned using an online survey, 84% reported persisting tension or pain in the back, neck, or shoulders. While 71% of females were employed (29% self-employed), only 39% of male participants were employed. Cluster analysis was used to characterize dental practitioners according to their movement profile and the moderating effect of stress on certain WRMSDs.

Results: Three movement profiles of general dental practitioners and orthodontists were significantly predictive of WRMSD. The minority could be characterized as healthy (n = 45), whereas twice as many reported nearly twice as much pain (n = 90). Stress proved to be a strong, significant moderator of WRMSDs in relation to sex, employment status, and body mass index.

Conclusion: The prevalence of WRMSDs found was alarming. Given the feminization of dentistry, and that being female, stressed, and an employee (rather than self-employed) is a significant predictor of WRMSDs, this represents a danger to the German health system.

目的:在牙医和正畸医生中,与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病(WRMSDs)的发病率大约在 64%-93% 之间。因此,本研究旨在阐明生理、心理和精神因素对与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病的影响:通过在线调查询问了 94 名正畸医师和 187 名牙医(年龄=35 岁),其中 84% 的人表示背部、颈部或肩部持续紧张或疼痛。71%的女性有工作(29%为自营职业者),只有39%的男性参与者有工作。研究人员根据牙医的运动特征进行了聚类分析,并仔细研究了压力对 WRMSDs 的调节作用:结果:牙医和正畸医生的三种运动特征对 WRMDS 有明显的预测作用。少数人可以被描述为健康(45 人),而两倍的人报告的疼痛几乎是前者的两倍(90 人)。事实证明,与性别、就业状况和体重指数相比,压力是WRMDs的一个强有力的重要调节因素:本研究发现的 WRMSDs 患病率令人震惊。鉴于牙科的女性化趋势,女性、压力大和雇员(而非自营职业者)是WRMSDs的重要预测因素,这对德国医疗系统构成了严重威胁。

Objectives: Although early-life dental care is crucial for preventing early childhood caries and has numerous benefits, the utilization rate of such care remains remarkably low worldwide, especially in families of low socioeconomic status. The aim of this study was to systematically review the scientific evidence relating to the effectiveness of interventions on improving early-life dental care utilization of very young children.

Method and materials: Scientific evidence relating to these positive changes was reviewed, with seven randomized controlled trials after qualitative evaluation. Interventions assessed included prenatal oral health promotion, motivational interviewing, intra-oral camera use alongside social work consultations to aid in decreasing barriers to care, monetary incentives for tooth brushing, fluoride varnish applications, and probiotic usage.

Results: The intervention was significantly effective in reducing the incidence of dental caries among children, especially in caries risk. Caries reduction was significant when oral health information was provided at frequent intervals prenatally. Caries increment was also reduced when probiotics were introduced when administered daily. Interventions that attempted to increase parental involvement in oral health care by increasing motivation and decreasing barriers had inconclusive results within the study groups.

Conclusions: Considering high rates of early childhood caries, early establishment and preservation of a dental home should be a focus in public health measures. Continuous monitoring and parental involvement are key components to maintaining healthy oral conditions. Future studies could explore and test various innovative strategies that utilize technological platforms to engage with parents and promote early-life dental care utilization among the underserved population.

目的:虽然生命早期的牙科保健对预防儿童早期龋齿至关重要,而且好处多多,但在全世界范围内,这种保健的利用率仍然很低,尤其是在社会经济地位较低的家庭中。本研究的目的是系统地回顾与改善幼儿早期牙科保健利用率的干预措施的有效性有关的科学证据:我们回顾了与这些积极变化有关的科学证据,其中包括 7 项经过定性评估的随机对照试验。评估的干预措施包括产前口腔健康宣传、动机访谈、口腔内照相机的使用以及社会工作咨询以帮助减少护理障碍、对刷牙的金钱奖励、涂氟化物清漆和益生菌的使用:结果:干预措施在降低儿童龋齿发病率,尤其是龋齿风险方面效果显著。在产前频繁提供口腔健康信息的情况下,龋齿发生率明显降低。如果每天服用益生菌,龋齿增量也会减少。试图通过提高积极性和减少障碍来提高父母参与口腔保健的干预措施,在研究小组中没有得出结论:考虑到 ECC 的高发率,早期建立和维护牙科之家应成为公共卫生措施的重点。持续监测和家长参与是保持健康口腔状况的关键因素。未来的研究可以探索和测试各种创新策略,利用技术平台与家长互动,促进服务不足人群利用生命早期牙科保健。
