Effect of fluoride varnish (Duraphat) in preschool children.
TL;DR: The caries-preventive effect of semiannual applications of a fluoride varnish (Duraphat) was tested for 2 years in 225 3-year-old children and showed an average caries increment of 2.1 surfaces in the test group and 3.7 in the control group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of oral hygiene and sugar consumption to risk of caries in children.
TL;DR: With increasing total sugar consumption the risk of caries increased significantly only when oral hygiene was simultaneously poor, and effect-modification appeared to exist, since the effect of one factor was greater at higher levels of the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of oral health promotion in adolescents.
TL;DR: The limited success of the behavioural interventions and the lack of diversity in methods used do not allow identification of the best ways to promote oral health towards adolescents, therefore, alternative approaches for oral health promotion in adolescents should be explored.

Dietary habits and oral hygiene as predictors of caries in 3-year-old children
Ulla Schröder,Lars Granath +1 more
TL;DR: The value of defined levels of oral hygiene and dietary habits for predicting caries was investigated and children with clean teeth and suitable dietary habits, provided they did not have general gingivitis with bleeding, might be regarded as no caries risks, while children with other combinations of oral dental habits were caries risk.

Handbook of prevention
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the theoretical and empirical foundations of many current prevention practices and, where data exist, discuss the status of prevention efforts, where substantial prevention is not yet on the horizon, the authors attempt to point us in the right direction or at least share with the reader some of the risk factors that should be addressed in our research.
