11. On Caries Risk Profiles Using Cariogram and Caries Prevention with Fluoridated Toothpaste in Orthodontic Patients
Sammanfattning : Objective. The aims of this thesis were to: 1) analyse caries-related factors shortly after orthodontic treatment, 2) demonstrate the usefulness of the Cariogram by presenting orthodontic patients with different caries-risk profiles, 3) compare two different toothpastes with different post brushing techniques using an in situ caries model with orthodontic bands, and 4) test the hypothesis that toothpaste slurry rinsing, combined with some other simple post-brushing advice (in this thesis called the “modified F toothpaste technique, MFTT“), would reduce the number of decayed and filled tooth surfaces (DFS) in a 2-year randomised clinical trial in orthodontic patients.

12. Optical based technologies for detection of dental caries
Sammanfattning : Background: A conservative, non-invasive or minimally invasive approach to clinical management of dental caries requires diagnostic techniques capable of detecting and quantifying lesions at an early stage, when progression can be arrested or reversed. Objective evidence of initiation of the disease can be detected in the form of distinct changes in the optical properties of the affected tooth structure. LÄS MER
13. Comparative studies of modern methods for caries detection and quantification
Sammanfattning : In clinical dentistry proper treatment of caries lesions is highly dependent on diagnostic accuracy. Aim: The present dissertation aimed at the evaluation and comparisons between several modem methods for caries detection and quantification. LÄS MER
14. Exploring the boundaries of caries detection : two advanced methods evaluated
Sammanfattning : Background: Caries detection methods require thorough validation. This should include studies which clarify what characteristics of the caries lesions are being measured, the limitations of the method and comparison of performance with conventional caries detection methods. LÄS MER
15. On oral health before and after obesity treatment
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the oral health of individuals with obesity and how oral health may be affected by medical and surgical obesity treatment. The thesis comprises three study populations, with Paper I and IV studying female participants, while Paper II and III includes both genders. LÄS MER
