Effect of fluoridated water on invasive NHS dental treatments for adults: the LOTUS retrospective cohort study and economic evaluation

Public Health Research
Background Most water fluoridation studies were conducted on children before the widespread introduction of fluoride toothpastes. There is a lack of evidence that can be applied to contemporary populations, particularly adolescents and adults.

Understanding and Optimizing Li Substitution in P2‐Type Sodium Layered Oxides for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores Li‐substituted P2 layered oxides for Na‐ion batteries by crystallographic and electrochemical studies. The effect of lithium on superstructure orderings, on phase transitions during synthesis and electrochemical cycling and on the interplay of O‐ versus TM‐redox is revealed via various advanced techniques, including semi‐simultaneous

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Does cessation of community water fluoridation lead to an increase in tooth decay? A systematic review of published studies

Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2016
Background Cessation of community water fluoridation (CWF) appears to be occurring with increasing frequency in some regions. Our objective was to comprehensively review published research on the impact of CWF cessation on dental caries.

Breaking the Capacity Limit for WO3 Anode‐Based Li‐Ion Batteries Using Photo‐Assisted Charging

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This image illustrates a photo‐assisted rechargeable lithium‐ion battery. (a) shows the battery structure, where light enhances electron‐hole generation in the anode, boosting ion flow. (b) compares discharging performance, revealing over 60% higher capacity under light compared to dark conditions, showcasing the benefit of light‐assisted energy ...

Fluoride and dental caries [PDF]

, 1998
Fluorine was probably discovered by the chemist Scheele in 1771, and eventually isolated in 1886 by Moissan. Its presence in bones and teeth was initially disputed but eventually confirmed in the middle of the eighteenth century.

Does lower lifetime fluoridation exposure explain why people outside capital cities have poor clinical oral health? [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Australians outside state capital cities have greater caries experience than their counterparts in capital cities. We hypothesized that differing water fluoridation exposures was associated with this disparity.
