Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The prevention of dental caries is an essential aspect of oral health, and several updated materials and strategies are available for this purpose. It is important to note that caries prevention requires a combination of strategies and habits. By implementing these updated materials and strategies, teeth can be kept healthy and dental caries prevented. Many updated materials and strategies are available for caries prevention, including fluoride, fissure sealants, resin infiltration, SDF, interdental cleaning devices, and remineralization agents. By utilizing these new tools and techniques, individuals and dental professionals can work together to prevent dental caries and promote oral health.

This study comprehensively reviewed the types, properties and potential applications of copper materials for caries management. Two researchers independently searched English publications using PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. They screened the titles and abstracts of publications presenting original studies for review. They included 34 publications on copper materials, which were categorized as copper and copper alloy materials (13/34, 38%), copper salt materials (13/34, 38%) and copper oxide materials (8/34, 24%). All reported copper materials inhibited the growth of cariogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. The materials could be doped into topical agents, restorative fillers, dental adhesives, drinking water, dental implants, orthodontic appliances, mouthwash and sugar. Most publications (29/34, 83%) were laboratory studies, five (5/34, 14%) were animal studies and only one paper (1/34, 3%) was clinical research. In conclusion, copper and copper alloy materials, copper salt materials and copper oxide materials have an antimicrobial property that inhibits cariogenic bacteria and Candida albicans. These copper materials may be incorporated into dental materials and even drinking water and sugar for caries prevention. Most publications are laboratory studies. Further clinical studies are essential to validate the effectiveness of copper materials in caries prevention. Full article
