Filter by:to investigate the effect of modifying GIC with different formulations on the antibacterial activity and clinical performance in reference to unmodified glass ionomer restorative materials.
The goal of this observational study is to identify the efficacy of silver diamine fluoride 38% followed by sodium fluoride varnish 5% in a population with untreated dental caries age range 4 to 12 years old. The main questions to answer are - Efficacy of treatment of active tooth decay with the treatment protocol of 38% silver diamine fluoride and 5% sodium fluoride varnish. - Clinical evaluation of tooth decay treated with 38% silver diamine fluoride and 5% sodium fluoride varnish in quality of hardness, color change and caries progression. - Explore the association of treatment with 38% silver diamine fluoride and 5% sodium fluoride varnish with: i. Reduction of oral pain caused by the presence of carious lesions. ii. Improvement in gingival oral health. iii. Changes in general nutritional status through measurements of height, weight, hemoglobin levels and nutritional survey. The participants will be identified, charted (with nutritional surveys and parameters), as well as treated and compared in a six- and twelve-month period, where researchers will clinically identify the association between the use of this protocol and the efficacy of such, as well as other related nutritional aspects.
The aim of the study is to compare the incidence of dental caries and the level of demineralization in pediatric patients with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. Patients will conduct professional oral hygiene at the baseline. The following clinical indexes will be assessed: BEWE Index, Plaque Index, Bleeding Score, Schiff Air Index. Then, patients will be randomly divided into two groups: - Trial group: domiciliary use of Biorepair Total Protection Plus + desensitizing enamel-repair shock treatment twice a day - Control group: domiciliary use of Elmex Caries Protection twice a day The clinical indexes will be assessed again after 1 month (T1), after 3 (T2) and 6 months (T3).
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare three different types of mouthwash, Moringa, Star anis, and Indian Costus 90 children participated in this study divided into 3 groups according to the type of mouthwash used and then subdivided in each group into 3 subgroups according to the concentration of the mouthwash 5,10,15%. the children were asked to rinse with the mouthwash 3 times per day for 1 week. bacterial count for streptococcus mutans was measured before and after the use of mouthwash to see the most effective concentration.
The goal of this [type of study: Randomized clinical trial] to compare the clinical performance of using glass ionomer with advanced glass hybrid technology (AGH) in cervical carious lesion, versus Resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) using esthetic and mechanical properties according to FDI criteria over one year. in adult patients with cervical carious lesion. The main question it aims to answer are: • Will the use of glass ionomer with advanced glass hybrid technology, achieved through introduction of ultra-fine highly reactive glass and high-molecular weight polyacrylic acid powders within conventional glass ,or Resin Modified Glass Ionomer have better mechanical and estheic properties over one year in adult patients with cervical carious lesions ? Participants will be assessed for medical and dental histories first. Then an examination of the patients will be done using visual inspection by using a dental mirror and probe. Eligible patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria will be informed about all procedures with follow up time if they accept, their signature on written informed consents will be obtained. Eligible participants will be randomly divided into two groups according to the type of restoration that will be received after class V cavity preparations for carious cervical lesions. Patients will be given local anaesthesia (Mepecaine - L Cartridges) as required, and the teeth will be isolated. A No. #330 bur (MANI, INC, Japan) in a high-speed hand piece with air/water coolant will be used to prepare class V cavity. Sharp excavators of suitable size were used to excavate soft carious lesions in dentin. the prepared cavity will be isolated with rubber dam. The first group (A) will be received resin modified glass ionomer restorative material and the second group (B) will be received advanced glass hybrid glass ionomer . Each restoration will be evaluated for clinical parameters after finishing and polishing at baseline and regular recalls of 6 months and one year. The restorations will be clinically examined according to FDI criteria criteria in terms of esthetic and mechanical properties . The information that will be obtained will be collected and statistically analyzed.
This study aims to compare the clinical performance of conserved chalky white demineralized enamel margins with total removal of demineralized enamel margins in class v cavities restored with composite in patients with acute carious cervical lesions
Aim of the study: 1. Assess the correlation between salivary alkaline phosphatase levels and dental caries. 2. Assess the effect of growth of children on the levels of salivary alkaline phosphatase enzyme. 3. Assess the effect of growth of children on caries experience and severity.
Objectives: The main objective of the study is to investigate 1. How many patients will attend and complete dental care if they are offered it for free during the stay at "The department of substance abuse treatment, University Hospital North Norway (UNN) in Narvik". 2. Explore whether a parallel dental treatment in addition to the other treatment at the department has a beneficial effect on the abuse treatment, or whether it can be disruptive to offer dental treatment in combination with admission for drug rehabilitation?
Class V carious lesions will be restored using two different restorative materials either Resin modified glass ionomer or nanohybrid resin composite lined by PRG barrier coat. Each restoration will be evaluated for clinical parameters after finishing and polishing at baseline, at 6 months, 12 months and at 18 months. The restorations will be clinically examined according to modified USPHS criteria in terms of retention, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, secondary caries and postoperative sensitivity.
This study will evaluate fluoride (F) bioavailability in saliva when using an over-the-counter mouthrinse of 226 ppm F, immediately after brushing with an over-the-counter toothpaste of 1,100 ppm F or a prescription toothpaste of 5,000 ppm F. The study population will include twenty individuals, over the age of 18 years-old, from both genders, with normal oral health conditions and salivary flow rate, no need of urgent dental needs, from the Ann Arbor, MI area. Participants will be recruited from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, in Ann Arbor, MI. Using a crossover design, twenty participants will be rotating through 4 different combinations of fluoride toothpaste (over-the-counter or prescription concentration) and fluoride mouth rinse (yes or no), in a 2 x 2 factorial design. Treatments to be tested will be as followed: Group #1 will brush with 1,100 ppm F (over-the-counter) toothpaste; Group #2 will brush with 1,100 ppm F (over-the-counter) toothpaste and rinse with over-the-counter 226 ppm F mouthrinse; Group #3 will brush with 5,000 ppm F (prescription) toothpaste; Group #4 will brush with 5,000 ppm F (prescription) toothpaste and rinse with over-the-counter 226 ppm F mouthrinse.
