The timely treatment of dental caries and pulp disease in primary teeth holds significant importance for maintaining children's oral health. Direct pulp capping (DPC) is a vital pulp treatment that involves covering the exposed pulp with bioactive materials to promote dentin bridge formation. DPC is commonly used in primary teeth with vital pulp and mechanical pulp exposure not exceeding 1 mm. DPC offers advantages such as minimal invasiveness, comfort, simplicity of operation and short chair-side time, making it suitable for pediatric dental clinical practice. Early studies suggested negative treatment outcomes for DPC in primary teeth with carious pulp exposure. Over the years, there have been advancements in materials and technology demonstrating positive outcomes in the clinical research of primary teeth with deep caries. However, due to the limited quality of related studies, DPC has not been widely recommended for the treatment of primary teeth with carious pulp exposure, and its widespread use needs further support by more high-quality evidence-based medical research. The success rate of DPC in primary teeth is influenced by factors including pulp status, clinical operations (such as isolation and caries removal), pulp capping material, cavity type, tooth position, coronal sealing, and dental fear. In clinical operation, dentists should accurately assess pulp status and minimize bacterial contamination. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a DPC agent with relatively sufficient evidence and good therapeutic effects, and the crown should be tightly sealed after pulp capping. Additionally, the effects of novel biocompatible materials such as iRoot BP Plus used in DPC of primary teeth, and the influence of other factors like hemostatic methods on the prognosis of affected teeth, need further exploration.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of qualitative and quantitative fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) in identifying colorectal cancer, so as to provide insights into perfecting screening strategies for colorectal cancer. Methods: Participants in the Colorectal Cancer Screening Program for Key Populations in Zhejiang Province from May 2020 to December 2021 were recruited, and their demographic information, lifestyle and disease history were collected through a questionnaire survey. Qualitative or quantitative FIT along with a questionnaire-based risk assessment were employed as the initial screening tests. Individuals who were positive in any FIT or had high-risk assessment results were required to attend a subsequent colonoscopy examination. The positive rate, detection rate of colorectal cancer, positive predictive value and number of colonoscopies required were compared between qualitative and quantitative FITs, and stratified analyses by gender and age were conducted. Results: Totally 4 099 769 participants were included. The qualitative FIT group included 3 574 917 individuals, yielding a positive rate of 11.35%, a detection rate of 1.19%, a positive predictive value of 0.48% and 83.84 colonoscopies required to detect one cancer case. The quantitative FIT group involved 524 852 individuals, yielding a positive rate of 6.70%, a detection rate of 2.31%, a positive predictive value of 1.01% and 43.23 colonoscopies required to detect one cancer case. The quantitative FIT group showed significantly higher detection rate of colorectal cancer, higher positive predictive value and less number of colonoscopies required compared to the qualitative FIT group (all P<0.05). The same results were obtained after stratification by gender and age. Conclusion Compared to qualitative FIT, quantitative FIT improves the detection of colorectal cancer and reduces the workload of colonoscopy examinations, making it more suitable for colorectal cancer screening in large-scale populations.

The timely treatment of dental caries and pulp disease in primary teeth holds significant importance for maintaining children's oral health.Direct pulp capping(DPC)is a vital pulp treatment that involves covering the ex-posed pulp with bioactive materials to promote dentin bridge formation.DPC is commonly used in primary teeth with vi-tal pulp and mechanical pulp exposure not exceeding 1 mm.DPC offers advantages such as minimal invasiveness,com-fort,simplicity of operation and short chair-side time,making it suitable for pediatric dental clinical practice.Early stud-ies suggested negative treatment outcomes for DPC in primary teeth with carious pulp exposure.Over the years,there have been advancements in materials and technology demonstrating positive outcomes in the clinical research of prima-ry teeth with deep caries.However,due to the limited quality of related studies,DPC has not been widely recommended for the treatment of primary teeth with carious pulp exposure,and its widespread use needs further support by more high-quality evidence-based medical research.The success rate of DPC in primary teeth is influenced by factors including pulp status,clinical operations(such as isolation and caries removal),pulp capping material,cavity type,tooth position,coronal sealing,and dental fear.In clinical operation,dentists should accurately assess pulp status and minimize bacte-rial contamination.Mineral trioxide aggregate(MTA)is a DPC agent with relatively sufficient evidence and good thera-peutic effects,and the crown should be tightly sealed after pulp capping.Additionally,the effects of novel biocompati-ble materials such as iRoot BP Plus used in DPC of primary teeth,and the influence of other factors like hemostatic methods on the prognosis of affected teeth,need further exploration.
