Article Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) according to dental caries status in middle-aged patients using a population-based cohort database containing medical/dental claims, health examination, and death records in the Republic of Korea. A total of 234,597 patients were identified in the database who were without history of cardiovascular disease, including 104,638 patients without dental caries, 41,696 with incipient/moderate stage dental caries, and 88,262 advanced/severe dental caries. We used Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and medical characteristics to compute hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for CHD according to severity of dental caries. During 1,491,190 person-years of follow-up, there were a total of 6,015 CHD events. After adjustment for potential confounders, patients in the highest quartile of outpatient visits for advanced/severe stage dental caries was associated with an increase in CHD risk (HR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.04-1.22) as compared with patients without dental caries. When the analysis was restricted to the patients with advanced/severe dental caries, dose-response relationship between number of outpatient visits for dental caries and risk of CHD was observed (P: <0.001). Prevention and control of dental caries might be worth promoting in clinical practice to prevent CHD.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to explore the specific application scenarios of quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) in the detection and treatment of early caries, so as to provide more evidence for the clinical application of QLF.
Methods: (1) The accuracy of QLF in detecting the lesion depth of early caries was evaluated by combining transverse microradiography (TMR) and spectrophotometer analysis (n=6). (2) Resin infiltration therapy was used as a representative method for the treatment of early caries to evaluate the ability of QLF in assessing the therapeutic effect on early caries (n=6).

Objectives: to evaluate the effect of smear-layer deproteinization using papain gel and SPRG-adhesive on marginal-gap, anti-demineralization of enamel and dentin after chemical pH cycling and assess acid-base resistance zone (ABRZ) characteristics.
Methods: Cylindrical cavities were prepared cervically in thirty-two extracted premolars. Teeth were divided into two pretreatment groups (n=16); deproteinization with papain enzyme gel (Papacarie Due, Brazil) for 60 second, and no-deproteinization.
Managing root caries with silver diamine fluoride, sodium fluoride and direct restorations: A cost-effectiveness analysis.

Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Singapore, Singapore; Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) relative to sodium fluoride (NaF) and traditional resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIC) restorations for the management of root caries in older adults aged 60 and above.
Methods: A Markov model design was chosen and two models were constructed: 1) Clinic-based model - with access to dental facility that allows for placement of traditional restorations, 2) Community-based model - without access to dental facility due to mobility, lack of executive function, or financial barriers. Modelling was done over a 10-year time horizon with a cycle length of one year.

Objectives: To examine bidirectional associations between dental caries and body mass index (BMI) among adolescents living in vulnerable communities in Brazil.
Methods: In a cohort study involving adolescents (n=323), BMI, number of decayed teeth and odontogenic infections (PUFA/pufa index) were recorded at three time points between 12 and 15 years of age. Trajectories of dental caries, odontogenic infections, and BMI were developed using group-based trajectory modelling.

White spot lesions (WSLs) are the most common complication of orthodontic treatment, compromising dental health and significantly affecting aesthetics. To address this clinical challenge, this study aims to develop a dual-functional therapeutic strategy that simultaneously promotes the remineralization of demineralized enamel and inhibits the activity of cariogenic bacteria, thereby achieving effective prevention and treatment of WSLs. A hollow double-shell structured CuO@N/C nanozyme (H-CuO@N/C) was synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method.
