There is a lack of robust scientific evidences related to the detection of caries lesions around dental restorations. This fact reflects in the absence of standard among dentists, leading to an excess of restorations replacements with no necessity. Therefore, the aim of this proposal will be: (i) to evaluate the accuracy of two different criteria systems of visual inspection for the detec…
Despite most of clinical guidelines indicate that dentists perform two bitewings to detect caries lesions in primary molars of asymptomatic children, the evidence for this is mainly based on cross-sectional studies performed in laboratory or using convenience sample. However, the benefits and impact of radiographic examination on the diagnosis and treatment decision making of caries les…

Twin studies are an excellent experimental model to investigate to oral health factors that could be related to genetics, pre-and perinatal factors and to the environment. Therefore, the aim of the present study will be to evaluate in a cohort of twins, the influence of zigosity and other variables on the behavior during the dental treatment, dental caries, quality of life, improvement of…
Dental caries is considered the oral health disease that provokes the greatest burden to the human population in the world, with alarming prevalence figures in all age ranges. When the disease is non treated, it leads to consequences in both dentitions, such as negative impact on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). The evaluation of risk factors, as to predict the occurrence of …
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare two visual criteria for evaluation of restorations in primary teeth. These criteria are the system proposed by the FDI World Dental Federation and by the International Caries Classification and Management System - ICCMS. For this, 204 children aged from 3 to 10 years who have looked for dental treatment at the School of Dentistry from Unive…
Our aim will be to evaluate the influence of two different diagnostic strategies for caries lesions detection in primary teeth on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) after two years of follow-up. For this, a randomized clinical trials has been performed to evaluate the difference of OHRQoL in children submitted to two different diagnostic strategies for caries detection in their …
This project aims to evaluate the performance of visual, radiographic and laser fluorescence methods regarding the detection of caries in permanent and deciduous teeth, also to perform a meta-analysis of the overall performance of the methods and to investigate potential sources of heterogeneity to better understand the controversial results in the literature. Will be performed three diff…

Criteria used for indicating replacement or predicting restoration failures are subjective and based on weak evidence, usually leading to unnecessary replacement. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence, using prediction models created by machine learning (ML) techniques could minimize this problem, aiding and driving clinicians to more conservative management procedures. Ther…
Oral health status reflects the accumulation of experiences and complex interactions between social and biological factors throughout life. Social inequalities are commonly seen in oral health and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among different age groups. However, to our knowledge, no study has evaluated the impact of social inequalities in dental caries and OHRQoL in differ…
The detection of secondary caries lesions is more challenging than primary caries. The traditional methods used for clinical diagnosis of dental caries are subjective, so there is a continuous effort to use newer techniques to diagnose carious lesions. Therefore, this in vitro study aims to compare traditional methods used for the detection of secondary caries with the use of optical cohe…
