Summary: This study explores the clustering of Hypomineralised Second Primary Molars (HSPM) at different levels and reveals a hierarchical structure with correlations at the family, child, and tooth levels which best accounts for the variation in HSPM. In addition to familial and individual risk factors, local tooth-level factors are likely to influence the etiology of HSPM.

Summary: The study analyzed the microstructure and composition of enamel in fossil and extant proboscidean teeth to assess diagenetic alterations, finding that there were no or only negligible modifications in the fossils collected and that these minor alterations were not age-dependent. This indicates that diagenesis has not significantly affected the samples studied and they are suitable for chemical and paleontological studies and as proxies for reconstructing paleoclimate and paleoenvironment.

Summary: Although there is evidence that multicomponent programs and means restriction can reduce suicide rates, the reduction is small and mainly applicable to specific populations. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to recommend widespread implementation of primary prevention of suicide in the general population.

Summary: The study found that despite similar remaining dentine thickness (RDT) between hypomineralised enamel (HSPM) and normal (SPM) teeth, the tertiary dentine thickness (TDT) in HSPM was significantly increased. However, there were no significant differences in the expression of beta-catenin and DMP1 between the two groups, indicating that the observed increase in TDT is more likely due to an earlier onset of repair processes rather than an amplified response to caries.

Summary: By analyzing lipid biomarkers from a sediment core in the Chukchi Sea shelf, it was found that primary productivity, terrigenous input, and phytoplankton community have changed over the past 70 years. These changes may be attributed to the alteration of water mass structure, which caused intense water mixing and light limitation for phytoplankton growth.

Summary: Virtual care is crucial for the health and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples, especially those in rural and remote communities, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health restrictions. However, there are limitations and challenges in delivering virtual care, such as increased technology costs, lack of accessibility, digital literacy issues, and language barriers. To ensure high-quality Indigenous primary healthcare in virtual modalities, Indigenous leadership and partnership, education on digital literacy, and prioritization of relationality, culture, and digital health equity are essential.

Summary: This study compared the stress distribution of different crown materials used in pediatric dental restorations through photoelasticity, microhardness, and roughness analysis. The results showed no difference in stress distribution among the different crown materials. The microhardness analysis revealed that zirconia crowns had the highest hardness values, followed by intact crowns, and stainless steel crowns. There was no significant difference in roughness among the three types of crowns. Stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns showed satisfactory mechanical behavior.

Summary: This study aims to explore potential differential diagnoses of molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) in archaeological collections, such as taphonomic discoloration, amelogenesis imperfecta, fluorosis, rachitic teeth, etc. Dental discolorations in burial soil can confound the diagnosis of MIH in an archaeological context. The aetiological factors of MIH are unknown but probably involve systemic medical and genetic factors. Therefore, systematic detection and diagnosis of MIH during anthropological studies are of great interest.

Summary: The study systematically reviewed treatment modalities for molar-incisor hypomineralisation in children under 18 years old. Resin-based fissure sealants, preformed metal crowns, direct composite resin restorations and laboratory-made restorations were recommended for affected molars, while specific approaches for management of affected incisors lacked sufficient evidence. Products containing CPP-ACP may be beneficial for hypomineralised teeth.

Summary: This study investigated the trajectory of maternal intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) during the first five years of their child's life and found that children of mothers with high and moderate but increasing SSB intake were more likely to experience dental caries. It emphasizes the importance of creating a low-sugar environment from early childhood and delivering health promotion activities to expecting women or soon after childbirth.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between trajectories of free sugars intake during the first five years of life and dental caries experience at five years. The study found that a sustained, high trajectory of free sugars intake from a young age was positively associated with child dental caries. Therefore, measures to minimise consumption of free sugars must commence early in life.
