Fluoride Content in Asian Produced Green Teas.

Background This study determined the fluoride content of green tea from various parts of Asia, where green tea originates. Methods We brewed 2.5 g each of 4 types of green tea (from China, South Korea, Japan and Sri Lanka) using deionized water heated to boiling. Water was cooled to 71°C, then tea was steeped for 2 minutes. This process was repeated 20 times, thus providing 20 samples for each tea type. In addition, 20 control samples of deionized water were brewed to the same specificatio

Survival analysis of caries incidence in African-American school-aged children.

Objectives To conduct an assessment of time-dependent covariates related to dental caries of the permanent dentition among a low socioeconomic status, understudied cohort of children, incorporating time-dependent covariates through the application of extended Cox proportional hazards modeling. Methods This study modeled the time to first cavitated dental caries in permanent teeth among school-aged children and assessed factors associated with this event. A cohort of 98 low socioeconom

LDN Chairs support extended fluoridation schemes.

The Local Dental Network (LDN) Chairs, who provide clinical leadership throughout England, have stated that they fully support the recently published position statements by the UK Chief Medical Officers1 around the potential for water fluoridation to address entrenched oral health inequality. Within the LDNs, clinicians working with patients see at first hand the levels of disease, misery, trauma and obvious health inequality. Where dentists work across fluoridated and
