The aim of this study was to test the plausibility using ΦX174 bacteriophage as a tracer viral aerosols spreading in dental aerosol-generating procedure (AGP) model.ΦX174 (~ 108 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL) added into instrument irrigation reservoirs and aerosolized during class-IV cavity preparations followed by composite fillings on natural upper-anterior teeth (n = 3) phantom head. Droplets/aerosols were sampled through passive approach that consisted Escherichia coli strain C600...
Abstract Objective To design and validate a questionnaire to measure caries management based on the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation Behavior model ( COM ‐B) International Caries Classification Management System ICCMS ™). Methods A combination of Cariology Psychology experts developed 79‐item pool that measured ‐B components according ™ recommended behaviours. After face content validation pilot study, two samples Colombian dentists participated: clinicians (n = 277) clinical‐practice...
We propose an approach for estimating the error in depth data provided by generic 3D sensors, which are modern devices capable of generating image (RGB data) and a map (distance) or other similar 2.5D structure (e.g. stereo disparity) scene. Our starts capturing images checkerboard pattern devised method. Then proceed with construction dense using functions that generally comes device SDK (based on disparity depth). The 2D processing RGB is performed next to find corners. Clouds corner...
Accurate determination of the prevalence erosive tooth wear (ETW) and associated risk factors in adolescents can inform clinical management guidelines. The aim this analytical cross-sectional study was to estimate prevalence, severity, ETW aged 12-15 years municipality Usaquén Bogotá, Colombia. Two calibrated examiners clinically assessed using Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) Index (range: 0-3). All surfaces (excluding proximal) were scored allow estimation Highest (0-3) Total BEWE...
Prevalence of oral, metabolic, circulatory, and nutritional diseases has tended to increase globally. As these have common contributing factors, such as unhealthy diets, evaluating their epidemiological trends the relation between them is relevant. In Colombia, Ministry Health records frequency consultation for through Integrated Social Protection Information System. It facilitates evaluation behavior at population level.
Abstract Background Comprehensive caries care has shown effectiveness in controlling progression and improving health outcomes by risk, preventing initial-caries lesions progression, patient satisfaction. To date, the caries-progression control of patient-centred risk-based CariesCare International (CCI) system, derived from ICCMS™ for practice (2019), remains unproven. With onset COVID-19 pandemic a previously planned multi-centre RCT shifted to this “Caries OUT” study, aiming assess...
Objective: To explore through focus groups (FGs) the perceptions of dental practitioners (DPs) from different countries challenges implementing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related biosafety measures, especially personal protection equipment (PPE), during COVID-19 pandemic period. Methods: DPs Colombia, Germany, United Kingdom, and States were invited to participate in country-based FGs. These facilitated by an experienced moderator who explored factors that guided implementation...
Abstract Objective The International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS™), a comprehensive, evidence‐informed, best clinical practice system, comprises 4D cycle: 1D‐Determine risk; 2D‐Detect assess lesions; 3D‐Decide on personalized care plan; 4D‐Do preventive tooth‐preserving care. aim of this study was to establish how Colombian dental practitioners, educators students diagnose manage caries risk lesions using the COM‐B model ICCMS™ system. Methods A total 1094 participants...
The aim of this study was to develop and achieve consensus on a cariology teaching framework for dental schools in Latin American Spanish-speaking countries. Delphi process, with ≥8 0% pre-defined participants’ agreement, included three phases Coordinating Group. During the Preparation phase panels experts were selected invited participate: a) Regional academic/professional Dental Associations (Associations-Panel): n = 12; b) Schools (Dental-Schools-Panel): existing (n 263) from 19 regional...
Acquired pellicle (AP) acts as a membrane preventing acids from coming into direct contact with the tooth. Possibly, individuals different dental health status present changes in its composition that could disrupt this function. Thus, aim of study was to compare protein AP adolescents erosive tooth wear (ETW), caries, or sound.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of acute respiratory infections in children younger than two years but also produces infection older and even reinfection people any age, a characteristic related to existence different infecting subtypes genotypes. Although Colombia has established surveillance classical viruses, there no information about RSV genotypes circulating Colombian patients.A subgroup 227 previously positive secretion samples were taken from nationwide...

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at the forefront of COVID-19 response and frequently come into close contact with patients their virus-contaminated body fluids. Recent studies have identified differential risks infection use personal protective equipment (PPE) among HCWs. However, available data might be interpreted caution because differences in national health systems, local implementation issues, adherence limitations to guidelines. A comprehensive description infection, exposure work,...
Roughness-tactile perception is part of activity assessment in initial-caries-lesions. Hypothesizing that a probe's design influences this examiner's assessment, four probes were designed. The aims study to select the probe with highest inter-/intra-examiners' roughness-assessment agreement and determine its diagnostic accuracy on artificial initial-caries lesions. A pilot was conducted trained dentists one controlled-pressure (n = 4) by assessing roughness known-roughness metal plaques...
