Filter by:this clinical study will be carried out to evaluate the effect of fluoride varnish with silver nanoparticles in comparison to silver diamine fluoride in management of deep carious lesions.
The aim of the present study is to compare the use of two adhesives for the placement of occlusal sealants, evaluating their retention on the occlusal surfaces. Methods: A randomized clinical trial, in Phase IV, triple-blind, with a split mouth study design will be adopted, which consists of a simple division of the mouth into two parts (right and left) for the first four permanent molars of each patient, where the placement of the materials will be on the right / left side of the mouth and contralateral. They will then be randomly assigned following block randomization procedures with a 1: 1 allocation. 50 participants (6-year-old children) will be considered, and a pair of permanent first molars homologs will be used for each participant. Inclusion criteria include: children whose parents accepted their participation in the study and who signed the Informed Consent, children enrolled in the Pichanaki District school, children who present upper and / or lower permanent molars with absence of deep caries cavities and caries, graded 0 and 1 according to ICDAS II, Green and Vermillion Simplified Oral Hygiene Index of 1-2, have a pair of non-cavitated caries-free counterparts, and children with positive behavior. After selection of patients, the dental sealants will be placed with two different adhesives: the 8th generation adhesive intervention group (Scotchbond universal 3M) and the 5th generation adhesive control group (Single bond 3M), both sealants will use the same flowable resin (Tetric N-flow ivoclar vivadent). Results evaluation: Retention of the sealants will be evaluated at 6, 9 and 12 months. Retention rates of pit and fissure sealant materials will be analyzed according to the split mouth design. The study will use the Mc Nemar test to compare the retention of sealants in the intervention group and the control group at 6, 9 and 12 months. A 95% confidence level will be accepted. In addition, the Cochrane Q test will be applied to determine if there are significant differences in survival for each group of sealants through the evaluation time. The calculation of the survival months of the sealants will be carried out using the actuarial method (survival tables). Expected conclusion: To identify which of the two adhesives presents the best retention after 12 months.
Clinical performance according to modified USPHS criteria of advanced self-Adhesive resin composite hybrid restorations is evaluated for 1 year versus conventional resin composite restorations in posterior teeth.
The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate the effects of a school-based behavioral intervention, CATCH Healthy Smiles, to reduce the risk of dental caries in a cohort of kindergarten through 2nd grade (K-2) children serving low-income, ethnically-diverse children,to determine the impact of CATCH Healthy Smiles on child behavioral, psychosocial, and environmental outcomes beginning in K through 2nd grade, compared to children in the control schools and to examine the extent to which the child behavioral, psychosocial, and environmental factors mediate the improvements in child caries risk.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of a lay health advisor (LHA) intervention on immigrant children's caries and preventive behaviors.This randomized controlled trial included mother-child pairs in the intervention group (IG) and a brochure-only control group (CG), respectively. The IG received a four-week one-on-one session by an LHA on caries-related knowledge and brushing techniques. Baseline and follow-up surveys were used to collect the data in caries experience and maternal caries preventive behavior.
Aim: A study was made of the prevalence, co-occurrence and association among caries, nutritional habits and peri-implant disease, with an analysis of the influence of other patient and implant factors upon peri-implant disease. Material and methods: The included subjects underwent a clinical examination and were asked to complete a questionnaire. Demographic data and potential lifestyle/behavioral variables were collected. Clinical and radiographic assessment allowed calculation of the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index and peri-implant diagnosis. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify predictors of peri-implant disease.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the remineralizing capacity of Gum Arabic varnish and its implementation into clinical practice.
Clinical trial to compare non-invasive and minimally-invasive therapies on the progression of the caries lesions. Clinical investigation of resin infiltration versus sodium fluoride (5% NaF) varnish application.
This is an investigator initiated randomized double-blind pilot study at the UCSF Pediatric Dental Clinics to compare effectiveness of a new toothpaste Livionex Dental Gel with a standard children's toothpaste containing 1500 ppm fluoride in reducing dental plaque and caries in healthy and well children every 3 months for up to 12 months.
The study is a randomized clinical trial that assesses the clinical success and the antibacterial effect on carious dentine of glass ionomer when modified with Chitosan and/or Titanium dioxide nano particles vs the control group of modification with Chlorhexidine as control when used in primary molars
