BMP2 Is Associated with Caries Experience in Primary Teeth
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play an important role during the initial process of enamel development and therefore may play a role in caries susceptibility. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between the polymorphisms in the BMP2, BMP4 and BMP7 genes and their association with caries experience and primary enamel microhardness characteristics. DNA from buccal cells as well as clinical and demographic information from 1,731 subjects from three different data sets from Brazil were included. Polymorphisms in BMP2, BMP4 and BMP7 were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction from genomic DNA. Association between caries experience, genotype, and allele distribution in both cohorts was evaluated using #x03C7;2 and logistic regression analyses. In the family-bas…

Changes in Occlusal Caries Lesion Management in France from 2002 to 2012: A Persistent Gap between Evidence and Clinical Practice
A survey conducted in 2002 among French general dental practitioners (GPs) showed variations between treatment decisions and a tendency towards early restorative intervention for caries. The aims of the present questionnaire survey were to investigate, among a random sample of 2,000 French GPs, the management decisions for occlusal lesions in 2012 and to compare the results to those obtained in 2002. The response rate was 41.9%. The majority of the respondents (60.7%) would postpone their restorative decisions until the lesion was in the dentin, based on clinical and radiographic examinations. Almost 68% of the respondents suggested that the cavity preparation should be limited to the lesion (vs. a preparation extending to the occlusal fissure), and 81.6% chose composite as restorative mat…
