We are delighted to announce that the article ‘The pieces of the caries puzzle align’, written by ACFF Chairman, Professor Nigel Pitts, was one of the top 5 cited articles published in the British Dental Journal in the last 12 months.
In the editorial, Prof. Pitts discusses how the tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to meaningful change when it comes to creating a shift towards focusing on prevention, following evidence, and avoiding aerosols.
Prof. Pitts shares the importance of this unforeseen opportunity, especially when coupled with increasing international consensus on prevention. The article explores how the WHO 2021 Oral Health Resolution shows this global progress as it includes powerful strategies for improving oral health and a move towards a preventive promotional approach. With this growing consensus on how to move the related evidence into practice, increasingly effective ‘glocal’ policies can be implemented to accelerate towards ‘Making Cavities History’.
The article’s success has also meant it has been selected to feature in the BDJ ‘Big Impact Collection’ which brings together the very best articles from the last year.
