Compliance with dental treatment recommendations by rural paediatric patients after a live-video teledentistry consultation: A preliminary report
Conclusions Compliance rates for completed comprehensive dental treatment for this rural population of paediatric dental patients were quite high, ranging from 56% to 100%, and tended to be higher when treatment was completed in fewer visits. Live-video teledentistry consultations conducted among rural paediatric patients and a paediatric dentist in the specialty clinic were feasible options for increasing dental treatment compliance rates when treating complex paediatric dental cases.

The Utility of Chewing Gum in Treating White Spot Lesions

These lesions are visibly detectable as the loss of translucency results in a white appearance of the enamel surface. WSL can be arrested or reversed if the cariogenic challenge is sufficiently controlled or therapeutic agents are applied to promote enamel remineralization. Sugar-free chewing gum has been shown to promote the remineralization of enamel subsurface lesions in situ. Recently, manufacturers have been adding bioavailable calcium and fluoride in various forms to enhance anticariogenic and remineralization potential. This review describes the use of chewing gum which includes bioavailable agents for remi…
