Filter by:Alterations in oral health of children interfere with their quality of life. Dental caries is the most common public health problem of children . The disease is the result of a complex interaction between acid producing tooth-adherent bacteria and fermentable carbohydrates. Over time, the acids in the dental plaque demineralize enamel and dentin in the fissures and the smooth surfaces of the tooth. The earliest visual sign of dental caries is white spot lesion. If demineralization continues, the surfaces of the white spot will cavitate, resulting in a cavity. If demineralization environment is reduced or eliminated, white spot lesions may remineralize and not progress. Risk factors include high numbers of cariogenic bacteria, high frequency sugar consumption, inadequate salivary flow, insufficient fluoride exposure, poor oral hygiene, and poverty. The early diagnosis and management of caries still a challenge of dental care for children . The prefabricated metal crowns are often the first choice for the repair of severely damaged primary teeth and have been one of the most effective and efficient methods of tooth restoration in pediatric dentistry since Humphrey first used them in pediatric patients in 1950 . They are used to restore primary or permanent teeth with extensive or multisurface cavities, cervical decalcification, and/or developmental defects . The prefabricated metal crowns have many advantages over other crown types and dental restorative materials . Their life span is the same as that of an intact primary tooth, they provide protection to the residual tooth structure that may have been weakened after excessive caries removal, the technique sensitivity or the risk of making errors during their application is low and their cost is low . Despite many advantages, the metal appearance of these crowns is unpleasant to the parents and children and they prefer tooth-colored restorations to silver-colored fillings regardless of location of restorations . Inflammation of the surrounding gingival tissue is a problem frequently associated with prefabricated metal crowns. The incidence of gingivitis has been reported to be higher around poorly fitting crowns than around the crowns considered to be well adapted . Considering the increasing demand for esthetic restorations, several treatment options have been proposed for primary teeth to overcome this problem such as strip crowns, pre-veneered stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns . Strip crown was introduced by Webber et al., in 1979 . strip crowns are available in different brands but the most commonly used resin composite strip crowns worldwide is 3M ESPE crown (3M ESPE Dental). Composite resin strip crowns (SC) have been utilized for over 2 decades to restore carious primary teeth . In spite of a long time of using, there is a paucity of literature concerning the clinical success of these crowns . Incorporation of ceramic nanofibers in dental composites can significantly improve their mechanical properties and fracture toughness and thus may extend their service life. This study aimed to assess clinically and radiographicaly of primary teeth restored with stability of the glassionomer and two composite material crown restoration using the preformed strip crown technique in primary molars.
Class 2 restorations are analyzed to see whether or not the use of modified universal adhesive will result in similar adaptation to conventional universal adhesive.

The aim of the current study will be to explore the relationship between body mass index, dental eruption and dental caries prevalence in school Children.
The program titled "Campus to Community: breaking the barrier in oral health education and dental care" is uniquely designed program to link University (Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences) to community (Sanghutar, Ramechhap). Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Teaching Hospital has established a model dental clinic in the premises of Him Ganga Secondary School, Shangutar which is operated by council registered Dentist and dental hygienist. The objective of this study is to assess oral health condition of the children aged 6-15 years of the school followed by application of pit and fissure sealant (PFS) in non-carious permanent molar and Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in carious permanent teeth. Data will be recorded according to the WHO Oral health assessment form for children, 2013 by a calibrated dentist from Dhulikhel Hospital and retention of PFS and efficacy of SDF application will be followed up after 6 months by the same investigators. The program is proposed with the expectation that proper oral hygiene prevention program combined with preventive procedures like pit and fissure sealant and SDF can reduce the burden of oral diseases in rural setup.
This study proposes to conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT), composed of a sample of 194 deciduous central and lateral incisors with active cavitated lesions, simplified ICDAS C+ score, with involvement of more than two surfaces. This sample will be divided into two experimental groups, both with selective removal of carious tissue: a group in which conventional restoration will be performed using opaque resins; and another group with monochromatic resin with chameleon effect and polyvinyl crowns.
Purpose: To assess the clinical effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to control asymptomatic cavitated carious lesions compared to conventional glass ionomer restoration in preschool children.
To evaluate the change of S. mutans and Lactobacillus spp. counts after all dental treatments were completed under general anesthesia and compare the groups in case of using probiotics and not using probiotics with the time for 6-months follow-up period.
This is a double blinded, split mouth, randomized clinical study that evaluated the performance of a glass hybrid restorative material in class III lesions. The lesions will be restored with glass hybrid restorative (Equia Forte) or anterior composite resin (G-aenial Anterior). Restorations will be evaluated after 24 months according to FDI criteria and the data will be analyzed.
the aim of the clinical trial is to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of the herbal mouth rinses against chlorhexidine mouth rinse.
