Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of laboratory and chairside fabricated monolithic anterior and posterior LDGC CAD/CAM crowns performed by predoctoral students at the University of Toronto and the effect of different patient and provider-related factors on their longevity and to compare them to the metal-ceramic (MC) crowns. A sample of LDGC CAD/CAM crowns (IPS e.max, Ivoclar Vivadent) provided by predoctoral students was evaluated. Crown preparations were made according to the specific criteria and were milled in-house using the CEREC bluecam and Omnicam systems. Crowns were cemented with Rely-X Unicem (3M/ESPE) and Calibra Universal (Dentsply Sirona) resin cements. Clinical assessment of the crowns and supporting periodontal structures was performed following the modified California Dental Association (CDA) criteria. Intra-oral photographs, periapical and bitewing radiographs were taken for further assessment by two evaluators. Two-hundred and fifty-one patients with 275 crowns were examined with a follow-up period of up to 6 years.
This study is comparing the effectiveness of two different dental crown fillings (resin crowns and zirconia crowns) for primary front teeth (incisors). Both dental crown fillings are currently used by community pediatric dentists. Resin crowns are currently the standard treatment for primary incisors at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Zirconia crowns are not presently used at SickKids. It is unknown if one type of crown is better than the other type. If the zirconia crowns produce similar or better results in fixing the primary front teeth, then the zirconia crowns may become the new standard of care at SickKids.
The study is a randomized controlled trial aiming to compare the effectiveness of Silver modified atraumatic restorative technique and (SMART) and conventional atraumatic restorative technique (ART) regarding their caries arresting properties in primary molars, patient acceptance and cost effectiveness.
Background There is little information regarding the longevity of the restored tooth, considering the health of the pulp-dentine complex, in children who do not sufficiently cooperate with dental treatment. Aim To evaluate the longevity of primary molar teeth with an occluso-proximal cavity that was treated with the selective removal of carious tissue. Design A total of 150 children were allocated to two parallel groups: group 1 (G1, n = 70, control, Ketac Molar Easymix®, 3M/ESPE, Seefeld, GE) and group 2 (G2, n = 80, test, Maxxion®, FGM, Joinville, BR). The study was double-blinded, and an operator specialized in paediatric dentistry performed the selective removal of soft dentine and the restoration of the cavity with GIC. During the follow-up periods, the teeth were evaluated via periapical radiography by two trained examiners specialized in radiology. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 11.2 software (StataCorp, Texas, USA) and a survival curve (Kaplan-Meier).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride varnish (CPP-ACP FV) in comparison to fluoride varnish (FV) as a remineralizing agent for white spot lesions in primary teeth (WSLs).
This Phase I randomized pilot trial will assess the efficacy of a fixed incentive payment program and drawing incentive payment program versus a control program to promote early childhood caries (ECC) preventive health behaviors (i.e., toothbrushing performance and dental visit attendance) for young children of predominantly Latino parents/caregivers enrolled in/waitlisted for Early Head Start (EHS) home visit programs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the clinical performance of Silver diamine Fluoride+Potassium Iodide (SDF+KI) and Silver-Modified Atraumatic Restorative Technique (SMART/SDF+KI+GIC) on molars with MIH
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) compared to chlorhexidine (CHX) as a cavity disinfectant in primary molars after Atraumatic Restorative Treatment approach (ART).
This study will compare the use of text message reminders versus multiple in-person sessions of oral hygiene instructions and motivation on improving oral hygiene measurements.
The aim of this clinical trial was to compare the clinical performances of a glass ionomer restorative system with a micro hybrid resin based composite in class I and class II cavities. A total of 140 (80 class I and 60 class II) lesions in 59 patients were restored with a glass ionomer restorative system (Equia) or a micro hybrid composite(Gradia Direct). Restorations were evaluated at baseline and yearly during 9 years according to the modified-USPHS criteria. Data were analyzed with Cohcran's Q and McNemar's tests (p<0.05).
