Objectives
Evidence for affordable and pragmatic programmes to address the burden of untreated tooth decay in children in low- and middle-income settings is limited. This study aimed to (1) assess the effect of a government-run, school-based daily group toothbrushing programme compared to standard school-based oral health education on the incidence of dental caries and odontogenic infections in Filipino children over a period of 3 years; and (2) assess the additional preventive e
Background
Fluoride has become widely used in dentistry because of its effectiveness in caries control. However, evidence indicates that excessive intake interferes with the metabolic processes of different tissues. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of long-term exposure to F on the parotid salivary gland of mice, from the analysis of oxidative, proteomic and genotoxic parameters.
Materials and methods
The animals received deionized water containing 0, 10 or 50
Background
Community water fluoride (CWF) is the proven cornerstone of primary dental health care promotion. In 2002 CWF was made mandatory at a national level in Israel, however a new government revoked these regulations in August 2014. "Maccabi" is the second largest national health care provider with 2.3 million members, "Maccabi-Dent", its dental branch, has 53 clinics, employing 1100 dentists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cumulative effect on treatment rates 6 years aft

Zebrafish culture and fluoride treatment
The adult AB zebrafish were maintained at the zebrafish facility at 28 °C with a cycle of 14 h light and 10 h dark, and they were feed with brine shrimp three times a day. One male and one female zebrafish were paired for the spawning. All the animal experiment protocols were approved by IRB of School of Stomatology, the Fourth Military Medical University.
Once the zebrafish eggs were laid, they were cultured in the embryo me
