Sick individuals and sick populations

TL;DR: Aetiology confronts two distinct issues: the determinant of individual cases, and the determinants of incidence rate: if exposure to a necessary agent is homogeneous within a population, then case/control and cohort methods will fail to detect it.

Clinical effectiveness of contemporary adhesives: a systematic review of current clinical trials.

TL;DR: Comparison of retention of class-V adhesive restorations as a measure to determine clinical bonding effectiveness of adhesives revealed that glass‐ionomers most effectively and durably bond to tooth tissue.

Changing paradigms in concepts on dental caries: consequences for oral health care.

TL;DR: This paper discusses two paradigms central to cariology and emphasises how these paradigm changes raise new research questions which need to be addressed to make caries prevention and treatment more cost-effective.

Buonocore Memorial Lecture. Review of the clinical survival of direct and indirect restorations in posterior teeth of the permanent dentition.

TL;DR: Dental literature, predominantly since 1990, was reviewed for longitudinal, controlled clinical studies and retrospective cross-sectional studies of posterior restorations and principal reasons for failure were secondary caries, fracture, marginal deficiencies, wear and postoperative sensitivity.

Risk factors for dental caries in young children: a systematic review of the literature.

TL;DR: There is a shortage of high quality studies using the optimum study design, i.e. a longitudinal study, which suggests that children are most likely to develop caries if Streptococcus Muttans is acquired at an early age, although this may be partly compensated by other factors such as good oral hygiene and a non-cariogenic diet.
