Snack food intake of adolescents and caries development.

The relationship between the frequency of eating various snack foods, socioeconomic variables, and an increment in caries was studied in 143 adolescents. There were negative correlations between DMFT increments and the frequency of apples, fruit juice, and sugarless gum intake, and a positive association of DMFT increments with chocolate candy intake and spending money.

Fluoride deposition in human enamel in vivo from professionally applied fluoride prophylaxis paste.

Deciduous teeth were collected from children who received professional prophylaxis with an acidulated phosphate-fluoride (APF) or placebo paste and were analyzed to determine fluoride uptake. Enamel fluoride level was increased by the APF paste approximately 300 ppm at a depth of 2.5 micrometers during the first month after the prophylaxis was administered, after which it returned to pretreatment levels.
