1450 to 1500 ppm F toothpaste vs 250 ppm F toothpaste

Caries increment, tooth index D(M)FT · Children and adolescents with immature permanent dentition (aged 5 to 16 years at study start)

1450 to 1500 ppm F toothpaste may leads to lower caries increment, tooth index D(M)FT compared with 250 ppm F toothpaste (low certainty).

Learning disability (CLD) vs No learning disability (CNLD)

Unmet dental treatment need · Children aged 1-18 years

Narrative reports from 6 studies suggested greater unmet dental treatment need in children with learning disabilities (5 of 6 studies), but no quantitative data were available (certainty not graded).
