The starting phase on early childhood caries or circular caries is an initial lesion, known as macula Alba or white spot, which is reversible, stops or reverses (perform biological repairs). In the initial lesion stage (macula alba) with the removal of caries the causative agent (dental plaque) on the one hand, and taking maximum preventive measures on the other hand: proper nutrition of the young child, salivation with normal pH and saliva composition, adequate mechanical and chemical control of dental plaque, by maintaining proper oral hygiene and topical application of fluoride preparations in various forms, conditions are created for the predominance of remineralization processes in relation to demineralization, which compensates for the insufficiency of minerals and may lead to the disappearance of the initial lesion (restutio ad integrum). Purpose of the Study investigation: Evaluation of ultra-structural enamel changes in the enamel in the starting phase on initial lesion of circular caries - Early childhood caries. It is done with Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM) evaluation of remineralizing effects in enamel ultrastructure at the stage of initial lesion and superficial form, after topical application of fluoride-based preparation (p-p amino fluoride). Material and method: The investigation was done on laboratory tests on extracted 20 healthy lower incisions and two more groups with 10 upper incisions, where some have topical fluoride compression treatment with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), and the others did not have the treatment. After that, we have analysis of the remineralizing effect of fluorides with SEM photo attachments. Results: In some dental samples we managed to get almost healthy enamel, i.e. complete remineralization process of the inicial lesion. Conclusion: Once again, we have confirmation of one of the many benefits of fluoride in dentistry which is long been known.

The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in aerosols but failure to isolate viable (infectious) virus are commonly reported, there is substantial controversy whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can be transmitted through aerosols. This conundrum occurs because common air samplers can inactivate virions through their harsh collection processes. We sought to resolve the question whether viable SARS-CoV-2 can occur in aerosols using VIVAS air samplers that operate on a gentle water vapor condensation principle. During the rapid rise in COVID-19 illnesses and deaths globally, and notwithstanding recommended precautions, questions are voiced about routes of transmission for this pandemic disease. Inhaling small airborne droplets is probable as a third route of infection, in addition to more widely recognized transmission via larger respiratory droplets and direct contact with infected people or contaminated surfaces.

School Dental Service is the main oral health programme established to provide curative and preventive oral health care to children of ages 3 to 13 years in Sri Lanka. The information generated through the management information system is hence imperative to describe the oral health status of the children, resource allocation and for rational decision, making at all levels of the school dental service. The purpose of this study was to explore the challenges to quality of data generated at the patient-provider interface of the management information system of the School Dental Service in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. A qualitative exploratory study with School Dental Therapists was conducted, in the form of in-depth interviews. Twelve out of 101 school dental therapists were purposively selected and semi structured interviews were conducted in the last quarter of 2019, until the data saturation was achieved. A thematic analysis was performed to achieve the results. According to the results, the challenges to the quality of data generated at the patent provider interface of school dental service could be explained under three thematic areas. The issues related to reporting system and records, the working environment and the personal perceptions on data collection were the emerged areas of constrains to the data quality in the school dental service in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. The quality of data in the Management Information System of School dental Service could be further enhanced by addressing the issues identified under the key thematic areas at the patient provider interface.
