597 articles were reviewed, 426 did not comply with the exclusion criteria and were rejected. 171 articles were accepted as evidence. The results show an emerging evidence base for CAMBRA in support for the viability of assessing the risk factors: Saliva flow; Salivary counts of S. mutans and Lactobacilli; Frequency of fermentable carbohydrate intake; past caries experience and for the use of Dental chewing gum; Chlorhexidine; Topical fluoride; Glass ionomers; CPP/ACP for caries management.
There is good evidence that supports the use of sugarless dental chewing gum, containing Xylitol and/or Sorbitol, for caries reduction, particularly on the occlusal tooth surface. Gum chewing varied between 2-7x daily after meals for 5-20 min. There seemed to be no difference between Xylitol-, Sorbitol and Xylitol/Sorbitol Chewing Gum. Two trials showed no significant anti- caries effect as compared to the control. However, one trial (in situ) used an intensive chewing regimen of 5x daily...

The need for transparency has made a beautiful mirror of a point ushered into the research plane. The issues detected were overtly accepted and are all being worked on vivaciously. The spirit of error detection in health management practice is one that usually humours the principal since all health odds go through them to get treated. However, the subordinate point has been made and the bridge is being built across the sea of impunity and workers' pride. Thanks to the approachability that is ...
ABSTRACT Objectives: to explore the anxiolytic activity of ethanolic leaf extract of culcasian scadens in experimental animal models . Methods: The anxiolytic activity was examined by using the elevated plus maze (EPM) and open field test (OFT), hole board test and light and dark box exploration test. Twenty Swiss albino male mice were divided into five groups of four mice each. Group 1 received distilled water and served as negative control; group 2 received 100mg/kg of ECS; group 3 receiv...
