Abstract

Logistic regression analysis of oral health data in assessing the therapeutic value of amine fluoride containing products

S

Aims. One aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of using logistic regression in oral health research and to evaluate the effects of amine fluoride (AmF) products in remineralization, statistically. Methods. The longitudinal clinical study evaluated the effect of combined use of AmF toothpaste and gel (test group 1) versus using AmF toothpaste and placebo gel (test group 2), and material containing no AmF at all (control group). Reversal of white spot lesions was examined using logistic regression. Results. The use of AmF toothpaste combined with AmF gel reduced the number of incipient lesions significantly (p
