Book Description
This book provides wide-ranging information on current clinical and scientific knowledge on the various aspects of fissure sealing. Trends in the epidemiology of caries are first examined, followed by thorough description of the morphology of pits and fissures and types of sealant. The role of sealants in the prevention of caries is discussed. Diagnostic parameters are presented, along with step-by-step descriptions of clinical procedures for fissure sealing. Chapters are also included on alternative techniques of fissure sealing, sealing of carious fissures, and therapeutic fissure sealing. The final chapter in the book focuses on the cost effectiveness of the procedure. Tooth surfaces with pits and fissures are particularly vulnerable to caries development. Sealants were developed to help manage these sites of the tooth and safeguard the surfaces from decay. This book has been written by acknowledged experts in the field. It will be of value for all dental professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of current knowledge on the science and the clinical application of pit and fissure sealants.

Book Description
This report summarizes information received from 106 malaria-endemic countries and from malaria control partners. It highlights continued progress made towards meeting international targets for malaria control to be achieved by 2010 and by 2015. International funds disbursed for malaria control increased from $200 million in 2004 to $1.5 billion in 2009. Since 2008, more than 289 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets have been delivered to sub-Saharan Africa, enough to protect three quarters of the 765 million persons at risk of the disease. Over the last decade, 11 countries in the Africa Region and 32 countries in other regions showed reductions of 50% or greater in either confirmed malaria cases or malaria admissions and deaths. Malaria control is making a major contribution to reducing mortality in children less than 5 years old and to attaining the health-related Millennium Development Goals.

Book Description
​This book thoroughly explains the biological background of dental caries and the formation of carious lesions, providing the reader with a sound basis for understanding the role and effectiveness of different therapeutic and preventive measures. Detailed information is presented on pathogenesis, ultrastructure, and diagnosis. All aspects of the carious process are covered, including development of the initial carious lesion limited to the enamel, evolution of the enamel carious lesion toward a dentin carious lesion, superficial and deep dentin lesions, and cervical erosions. Strategies for prevention and dental tissue regeneration are elaborated and both conventional therapies and minimally invasive and non-invasive treatment approaches are discussed. A separate section is devoted to dental fluorosis and the use of fluoridation and remineralisation agents. This scientifically focused and clinically relevant book, written by acknowledged experts in the field, will appeal to dentists seeking to extend their knowledge as well as to researchers, dental students, and other dental professionals.

Book Description
CONTEXTE : La carie des dents temporaires non traitée est la maladie non transmissible infantile chronique la plus courante dans le monde et en France. Les inégalités territoriales d'accès aux soins dentaires, les disparités de moyens pour y accéder ainsi que le coût important pour la société font de la carie dentaire de l'enfant un vrai enjeu de santé publique. Pourtant, des moyens de prévention existent, notamment le recours au dentifrice fluoré. L'objectif de cette étude est de synthétiser les preuves sur l'impact du fluor topique par dentifrice dans la prévention primaire de la carie dentaire chez les enfants de moins de 6 ans. METHODE : Revue parapluie portant sur les enfants de moins 6 ans, exposés au dentifrice fluoré vs non exposés au fluor par dentifrice, avec pour critère de jugement l'augmentation moyenne du dmfs/ DMFS ou dmft/DMFT (PICO). RESULTATS : 4 revues systématiques ont été incluses sur les 910 identifiées. Il existe une différence statistiquement significative en faveur de l'utilisation des dentifrices fluorés de plus de 1000ppm, pour les 3 revues ayant effectué des méta-analyses, les comparant à un placebo ou l'absence d'intervention : PF groupé 30% IC à 95% (18 à 43%), DMS -0,24 IC à 95% (-0,36 à -0,13%), DM -1,86 IC à 95% (-2,52 à -1,21%). Bien que plus efficace que l'absence d'intervention ou un placebo, aucun des résultats portant sur les dentifrices de moins de 1000ppm de fluor n'est significatif. CONCLUSION : Le dentifrice au fluor est efficace chez les enfants de moins de 6 ans en prévention primaire de la carie dentaire. Une relation dose-réponse semble exister dans l'efficacité du dentifrice au fluor. Des études complémentaires sont nécessaires pour affirmer ce propos. Le médecin généraliste devrait être partie prenante de la prévention de la carie dentaire précoce par une information fiable et systématique auprès des parents et de leurs enfants, lors du suivi habituel pédiatrique.
