Filter by:To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of using Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) under glass ionomer restorations in atraumatic restorative treatment as a biomimetic approach in pediatric dentistry.
The primary objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial (RCCT) will be to compare the efficacy in reducing the quantity of Streptococcus mutans (S. Mutans) in saliva of a recently introduced toothpaste compared to a commercially available toothpaste. The secondary outcomes will be to assess patients' impression of the toothpastes (in terms of taste, satisfaction etc.), and to investigate potential changes in dentin hypersensitivity, plaque formation and gingival inflammation.
examine the results of pulpotomy in primary molars using premixed bioceramic MTA versus Formocresol. Clinical and radiographic success rates were used as outcomes.
Despite preventive treatments and the promotion of oral health, dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the population and treatment of caries lesions in deciduous teeth is a fundamental procedure aimed at increasing the resistance of the remaining tooth structure to preserve the permanent dentition. The present study aims to make a clinical evaluation of the Hall Technique compared to direct restorations with universal adhesives and bulk fill resins in large destruction of deciduous teeth. 90 children between 5 and 10 years old, healthy, of both sexes, without distinction of race, enrolled in the clinics of Universidade Metropolitana de Santos-UNIMES will be selected. The in-office treatments will be carried out by a trained researcher, according to the manufacturer's instructions for each material and scientific evidence on the respective topic. Participants will be divided into 03 groups according to the proposed treatments. Group 1 - Universal adhesive restorative procedure + condensable bulk fill resin; Group 2 - Hall Technique with Shofu steel crowns and Group 3 - Steel crown with conventional technique. The evaluated outcomes will be: effectiveness of the technique and longevity of the restorations.
- The aim of this study is to assess parental satisfaction and duration of the procedure of Hall and silver diamine fluoride techniques in the treatment of carious primary molars with healthy pulp. - primary ourcome: parental satisfaction measurement device: four point likert scale measurement unit: 1-2-3-4 - secondary outcome: duration of the procedure measurement device: Digital chronometer measurement unit: minutes
Alternatively to conventional treatments, chemo-mechanical caries removal agents can be used. A modality of treatment that has been increasing in dentistry is antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). Bixa orellana, is being researched for application in aPDT. This protocol aims to determine the effectiveness of aPDT with Bixa orellana extract in deep caries lesions. Methods and analysis: A total of 160 teeth with deep occlusal dental caries will be selected and divided in 3 groups: G1 - control group (Caries removal with a lowspeed drill); G2 - Partial Caries Removal with Papacarie; G3 - Partial Caries Removal with Papacarie and application Bixa orellana extract (20%); G4 - Partial Caries Removal with Papacarie and application Bixa orellana extract (20%) with LED (aPDT). After treatment, all the teeth will be restored with glass ionomer cement and followed up clinically and radiographically, with evaluations at immediately, 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Dentin samples before and after treatment will be analyzed microbiologically. The data will be submitted to descriptive statistical analysis of the association between the categorical variables using the chi-square test and Fisher exact text. The Student t test and analysis of variance will be used for the comparison of mean signs and symptoms of reversible pulpitis. Pearson correlation coefficients will be calculated for the analysis of correlations among the continuous variables.
The aim of the study is to clinically evaluate the retention and caries formation of hydrophilic fissure sealants among adolescents after one year.

CAD-CAM crowns made of lithium disilicate are placed in patients by using either a dual-curing adhesive or a self-adhesive luting material in combination with total etch/universal bonding agent.
The investigators aim will be to compare the diagnostic performance of clinical visual examination (ICDAS II), intraoral/bite wing radiography (BW), near infrared light transillumination (NIR-LT), and laser fluorescence (LF), in comparison to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) for the detection of non-cavitated occlusal enamel and dentin caries in third molar teeth. Potential participants will be consecutively recruited.
