Filter by:Prospective single arm study was to evaluate the clinical success and/ or failure of resin-bonded composite coronal build-up retained by macro-retentive grooves for restoring mutilated primary maxillary incisors after 36 months. Design: Forty two primary incisors out of 14 children, aged 2-5years, treated in a private pediatric dental practice under general anesthesia and presented for follow-up after 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months included in the study. The parameters recorded at the baseline and at the follow-up intervals were: retention, colour match, the number and location of the decayed surfaces (recurrent caries), chipping /fracture of the restoration and loss of restoration (failure). Materials and Methods: A total of (14) pediatric patients aged from 2-5 years presented with mutilated primary anterior teeth due to caries or trauma and treated comprehensively under general anesthesia from June 2016 to June 2017 were enrolled in this study. A total of (42) decayed or traumatized primary anterior teeth were treated with composite coronal build-up based on the micro-mechanical adhesive procedure of composite resin in addition to macro mechanical retentive grooves created on the lateral sides of the cervical one third of the roots of treated teeth. The patients returned at the end of 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months and received clinical examinations. Another dentist (co-author) who did not attend the treatment evaluated the strip crowns clinically by modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria.
Target question is as the following one: Does the daily use of a fluoride-free, microcrystalline hydroxyap-atite (HAP) - containing test toothpaste have a non-inferior caries preventing effect in the permanent dentition compared to the regular use of a fluoride control toothpaste (1450 ppm F-) with proven caries preventive efficacy (Walsh et al. 2019)? This multicenter, non-inferiority clinical trial, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled design, two-armed study evaluates the hypothesis that the home regular use of a toothpaste containing microcrystalline hydroxylapatite (HAP) (test toothpaste) provides a caries preventive effect in adults aged 18-45 comparable to the caries preventive effect provided by the regular use of a fluoridated tooth paste (1450 ppm -F) (control toothpaste) over observation periods of max. 18 months. Caries development will be assessed according to the clinical criteria of the Decay Missing Filling Surface Index (DMFS).
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and to evaluate the anti-caries efficacy of COL101 (arginine) non-fluoride dentifrices compared to a 0.24% sodium fluoride dentifrice in 10-14 year-old children over a one year period.
Space maintainers are used to preserve the space after premature loss of teeth but they could effect some factors that play a role in caries formation. The research aimed to assess the impacts of removable and fixed space maintainers on the salivary pH, flow rate, and Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus carriage.
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental defect of enamel affecting the first permanent molar and frequently the incisors with a prevalence of 16-16.9% in Malaysia. They presented with many problems such as hypersensitivity, increase susceptibility of caries, need for recurrent complex dental treatment, and difficulty to achieve pain control. Silver Diamine Fluoride is a new form of topical fluoride that has been extensively used and recommended for the management of caries in children and adolescents. The influence of organic material removal from artificial dentine lesions by means of surface pre-treatment with deproteinizing agent show favoring result of its use on subsequent remineralization with and without fluoride. The purpose of this trial is to study the clinical outcome of SDF and papain based gel on hypomineralized teeth restored with HVGIC.
Applying to the Orthodontics Department of the Faculty of Dentistry of Erciyes University for orthodontic treatment, a periodontally healthy 16-26 year-old periodontally healthy, non-congenital or congenital anomaly in the craniofacial region; 25 patients with class 1 orthodontic malocclusion with moderate permeability will be included in the study. The patients will be divided into 2 groups, and the first group of 12 patients will have single-stage aligner; The second group of 13 patients is planned to apply 3-stage aligner.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Biomimetic remineralizing agent and resin modified glass ionomer varnish on color shade and state of white spot lesions immediately, after 3 months, and after 6 months. (An in vivo study).
The current understanding of dental caries has not been completely transferred into the clinical practice to control caries lesion progression (severity / activity) and the individual risk of caries. This situation led to the development of the CariesCare International CCI Caries Management System (2018), derived from ICCMS™- International Caries Classification and Management System (2012) and the ICDAS - International Caries Detection and Assessment System (2002) in a consensus among more than 45 cariologists, epidemiologists, public health professionals, researchers and cliniciansfrom all over the world. The consensus aimed to guide dentists and dental teams in clinical practice, facilitating the control of the caries process and the maintenance of oral health in their patients. The general lack of implementation of an updated management of dental caries is evident in Colombia, in the survey of 1094 clinicians, teachers and students, failures were reported to adopt related behaviours, motivation barriers (remuneration), opportunity (in terms of relevance, physical/infrastructure resources, time) and training. As an additional barrier, the Colombian Chapter of the Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future (ACFF), evidences the absence of a facilitating Oral Health Record (OHR), this situation lead to stablish a new Alliance between the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MSPS) and the AFLC to develop an inter-institutional consensus at the national level, of a clinical history for diagnosis and management of lesions and caries risk. Finally, 55 institutions participated in this consensus, and we have just finished a pilot test of the forms to submit a proposal for national standardization from the MSPS. The aim of this multicentre case series is to assess after 3, 6 and 12 months in children oral health outcomes, caregivers' satisfaction and in dentists' process outcomes, after the implementation of the CCI system adapted for the COVID-19 era -non-aerosol generating procedures. Oral health outcomes will be evaluated in terms of: - Effectiveness of CCI to control bacterial plaque, caries progression and caries risk, and to achieve behavioural change in oral health in children. - Acceptance of CCI caries management adapted for COVID-19 through Treatment Evaluation Interventory in dentists, and in children/parents through satisfaction questionnaire. - Costs of CCI adapted for caries management, in economic terms, number and appointment time.
To determine the optimal application time of silver diamine fluoride (38% SDF) in arresting dental caries in the primary teeth of preschool children.
The aim of the current study was to compare pain perception of young children treated with SDF and ART, as well as their parents' acceptability of both modalities.
