(1) Background: The appearance and progression of carious lesions represent a complex phenomenon of interactions of microbial factors (the action of bacteria on the tooth), of the factors related to the host, to the diet, and to the time factor. Which hasan influence on the rate of microbismof the oral cavity on the installation of carious disease? (2) Methods: In order to correctly assess the cariogenic risk of an individual, it is recommended to perform twoor more tests based on different principles (microbiological, clinical, epidemiological). The representative data series for the investigation were analyzed statistically and by applying the Pearson correlation test considering the coefficient of determination R for all pairs of data series. (3) Results: Salivary tests played animportant role in establishing control sessions, in carrying out prophylactic caries therapy, and establishing prognosis. The existence of a statistical associationwas confirmed between the prevalence of dental caries and the results of salivary tests for the study group. (4) Conclusions: The results of the saliva tests can be used in oral health promotion.

Abstract Background There have been several reports that steroid administration are effective at preventing strictures after ESD. However, adverse events after steroid use are of great concern. We have reported that shielding with polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets and fibrin glue can be useful for prevention of stricture after ESD. We conducted a retrospective analysis of efficiency of shielding with PGA sheets and fibrin glue for prevention of esophageal stricture compared with intralesional steroid injection. Methods ESD was performed on a total of 608 lesions in 553 patients for superficial esophageal cancer from January 2012 to March 2017. Of these, 45 lesions were enrolled in the study group (PGA sheets and fibrin glue) and 40 lesions were enrolled in the control group (intralesional steroid injection). The incidence of postoperative stricture at 6 weeks and the number of sessions of endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) required to resolve any strictures were evaluated. Among them, patients with additional surgery were excluded in both groups when investing the outcome. Results The post-ESD stricture rate was 10.5% in the study group (4/38 patients), which was not significantly lower than the stricture rate of 10.8% in the historical control group (4/37 patients; P = 0.63). The mean number of EBD was 1.2 ± 4.2 in the study group and 0.68 ± 2.2 in the control group, which was not significant (P = 0.47). Conclusion PGA sheets and fibrin glue appear to be a promising option for the prevention of esophageal stricture similar to the effect of intralesional steroid injection.
