Evaluation of Fluoride and Selected Chemical Parameters in Kombucha Derived from White, Green, Black and Red Tea.

November 8, 2020 | Biological Trace Element Research | Jakubczyk K, Gutowska I, Antoniewicz J, Janda K. |
Kombucha dates back thousands of years and is reported to have originated in East Asia. It is produced by fermenting tea with added sugar using SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). Its health benefits can be attributed to the metabolites produced during the fermentation process. Valuable ingredients of this fermented tea beverage include acetic acid, glucuronic acid, vitamins, enzymes, sugars and polyphenols. Tea, and consequently kombucha, contains numerous minerals, and one of them

Pit and fissure sealants versus fluoride varnishes for preventing dental decay in the permanent teeth of children and adolescents.

November 4, 2020 | Cochrane Systematic Review - Intervention | Kashbour W, Gupta P, Worthington HV, Boyers D. |
Plain language summary Sealants or fluoride varnishes: which treatment is better for preventing decay in the permanent back teeth of children and adolescents? Why is this question important? Tooth decay (also called a cavity or caries) is when a small hole develops in a tooth. This happens because bacteria (tiny living organisms) that live in the mouth feed on sugar in the food we eat. As they feed, the bacteria produce acid that attacks teeth. If teeth are not cleaned regularly aft
