Journal ArticleDOI
A randomised controlled trial of the caries-preventive efficacy of a chlorhexidine-containing varnish in high-caries-risk adolescents
TL;DR: Under this regimen, Chlorzoin has been found to be effective in decreasing salivary mutans streptococci but ineffective as a caries–preventive agent in high–risk Scottish children when applied pragmatically in a community setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
The condition of teeth in the UK in 1998 and implications for the future.
TL;DR: The latest survey of the United Kingdom was carried out by the Office of National Statistics in 1998 by the dental schools of the Universities of Birmingham, Dundee, Newcastle and Wales as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that psychological models can be useful in understanding and predicting clinical behaviour and so provide possible targets for knowledge translation interventions, however a number of conceptual and methodological challenges remain.
Journal Article
Temporary tooth separation with special reference to the diagnosis and preventive management of equivocal approximal carious lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of dental decay and its extent using a.c. impedance spectroscopy
TL;DR: A new experimental technique is described that demonstrates an outstanding 100% correlation between impedance measurements of whole teeth and the actual extent of approximal caries in vitro and only relatively minor modifications should be required to transfer the technique to in vivo applications.
