The growth and dissolution of sodium fluoride hopper crystalsWhy Is This Important?
JADA Foundational Science, 2023 Background: Caries is still prevalent despite the current understanding and use of fluoride. Faster-dissolving crystals of sodium fluoride (NaF) in a fluoride treatment could improve the efficacy of current preventative approaches. Methods: In this study,

Monitoring of fluoride in the public water supply using electrometric or colorimetric analyses
Revista Ambiente & Água, 2020 The surveillance of the concentration of fluoride in the public water supply aims to ensure the balance between the benefits (carie prevention) and risk (dental fluorosis) of water fluoridation programs. The aim of this study was to check the accuracy of

Feasibility and costs of water fluoridation in remote Australian Aboriginal communities
BMC Public Health, 2007 Background Fluoridation of public water supplies remains the key potential strategy for prevention of dental caries. The water supplies of many remote Indigenous communities do not contain adequate levels of natural fluoride.

Distribution of Dental Fluorosis in the Southern Zone of Ecuador: An Epidemiological Study
Dentistry Journal, 2023 In recent decades, the increase in fluoride exposure has raised the numbers of dental fluorosis in fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities In Ecuador, but the last national epidemiological study on DF was conducted more than a decade ago.

A Model for the Analysis of Caries Occurrence in Primary Molar Tooth Surfaces [PDF]
, 2012 Recently methods of caries quantification in the primary dentition have moved away from summary ‘whole mouth’ measures at the individual level to methods based on generalised linear modelling (GLM) approaches or survival analysis approaches. However, GLM

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
