Do welfare regimes matter for oral health? A multilevel analysis of European countries
The different effects of neighbourhood and individual social capital on health-compromising behaviours in women during pregnancy: A multi-level analysis
Three health-compromising behaviours are relatively common and cluster in Brazilian women throughout pregnancy. Low individual social capital significantly predicted simultaneous health-compromising behaviours and patterns of smoking and inadequate diet during pregnancy while low neighbourhood social capital was only relevant for inadequate diet. These findings suggest that interventions focusing on reducing multiple behaviours should be part of …

Patterns of clustering of six health-compromising behaviours in Saudi adolescents
The six health-compromising behaviours clustered into two conceptually distinct clusters among Saudi Arabian male adolescents, one reflecting non-adherence to preventive behaviours and the second undertaking of risk behaviours. Clustering of health behaviours has important implications for health promotion
A reappraisal of the quantitative relationship between sugar intake and dental caries: The need for new criteria for developing goals for sugar intake
There is a robust log-linear relationship of caries to sugar intakes from 0%E to 10%E sugar. A 10%E sugar intake induces a costly burden of caries. These findings imply that public health goals need to set sugar intakes ideally <3%E with <5%E as a pragmatic goal, even when fluoride is widely used. Adult as well as children's caries burdens should define the new criteria for developing goals for sugar intake
Social relationships and health related behaviors among older US adults
Social relationships of older Americans were independently associated with different health-related behaviors, even after adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic determinants. Availability of emotional support did not however mediate these associations. More research is needed to assess if strengthening social relationships would have a significant impact on older people's health behaviors and ultimately improve their health
Social determinants of dental treatment needs in Brazilian adults
Dental treatment needs related to primary care (restoration and tooth extraction) and secondary care (prosthesis) were strongly associated with individual socioeconomic position, mainly income and education, in Brazilian adults. In addition to this individual effect, a city-level contextual effect, represented by HDI, was also observed for need for restorations and prosthesis, but not for tooth extractions. These findings have important implicati…
A new understanding of the relationship between sugars, dental caries and fluoride use: Implications for limits on sugars consumption
Objective To examine the quantitative relationship between sugar intake and the progressive development of dental caries. Design A critical in-depth review of international studies was conducted. Methods included reassessing relevant studies from the most recent systematic review on the relationship between levels of sugars and dental caries. Reanalysis of dose–response relationships between dietary sugars and caries incidence in teeth with diffe…

Socio-economic status and oral health-related behaviours in Korean adolescents
Assessing Levels of Agreement between Two Commonly Used Oral Health‐Related Quality of Life Measures
There was a moderate level of agreement between OHIP14 and OIDP, which may be partly due to the fact that both OHRQoL measures assess different levels of oral impacts on quality of life in addition to having different scoring systems
Comparison of the Generic and Condition‐Specific Forms of the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (Oidp) Index
Although generic and condition-specific OIDP forms were able to discriminate adolescents with normative need for orthodontic treatment from those without such a need, CS-OIDP attributed to malocclusion had better ability to distinguish between groups. Further studies are needed to compare discriminative ability of both OIDP forms between groups with different levels of other oral conditions

Self-assessment is not useful to assess individual dental treatment need, but is of possible value in assessing the needs of adult communities
The Common Risk Factor Approach: A rational basis for promoting oral health
Conventional oral health education is not effective nor efficient. Many oral health programmes are developed and implemented in isolation from other health programmes. This often leads, at best to a duplication of effort, or worse, conflicting messages being delivered to the public. In addition, oral health programmes tend to concentrate on individual behaviour change and largely ignore the influence of socio‐political factors as the key determin…
How Do Routines of Daily Activities and Flexibility of Daily Activities Affect Tooth‐cleaning Behavior
People who have a less routinized and more flexible day have higher tooth-cleaning frequency than those who have a less flexible and more routinized day. In this study, those with a more flexible day also cleaned their teeth more effectively than those who had a less flexible day, and had reduced gingival bleeding

Dietary effects on dental diseases
Dental caries is a highly prevalent chronic disease and its consequences cause a lot of pain and suffering. Sugars, particularly sucrose, are the most important dietary aetiological cause of caries. Both the frequency of consumption and total amount of sugars is important in the aetiology of caries. ‘ The evidence establishing sugars as an aetiological factor in dental caries is overwhelming. The foundation of this lies in thenmultiplicity of stu…
