Declarations
:
: According to the Brazilian resolution 510/2016 for guide Ethics in Human and Social Research (National Health Council, 2016), since the database used comprises unidentified participants and aggregated data, as the Facebook page records, the submission to the Research Ethics Committee is not necessary. Besides, no identification or individualization of participants was possible; the individual consent to participate was not needed.
: The written consent was obtained from the guardians of those children (or even parts of them as teeth or smiles) posted on the EviDent Facebook page and other initiatives. Additionally, the written consent for being used in publications was obtained for the patient's guardian, whose teeth are presented in Additional file (a print screen of the mentioned page).
: The authors participated in the conceptualization and development of the Facebook page. However, there is no intention to make this a commercial initiative.
