Filter by:The aim of the study is to identify adolescent patients that are at risk of developing oral diseases, and to assess if targeted preventive oral treatment with antibacterial dual-light therapy as an adjunctive treatment method can have a positive impact in preventing oral diseases from emerging.
The study aims to explore how dietary habits affect oral health in children with autism. By examining a cross-section of the autistic paediatric population, the research seeks to identify patterns or specific dietary preferences that may contribute to or mitigate oral health issues. This observational study does not intervene in participants' diets but observes existing habits and their oral health outcomes, aiming to provide insights that could guide better dietary recommendations and oral health practices for children with autism.
Aim of the study Assessing the effect of an oral health education program on knowledge, attitude, practice, and dental caries among a group of school children in a governmental school in Fayoum, Egypt.
Is zirconomer restorative material more effective than a glass ionomer cement in restoration of primary molars
To evaluate the clinical performance of Alkasite restorative material versus glass ionomer in restoration of primary molars.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of throat packs on PONV in dental treatments under general anesthesia in special health care needs.
The goal of this splith - mouth clinical trial is to compare 3D Printed Prefabric Composite Resin Crowns with Stainless Steel Crowns in healthy 50 children age between 5 and 9 with caries on more than one surface of the primary second molars. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - 3D printed composite resin crown's survival rate is as succesful as stainless steel crowns - 3D printed composite resin crowns periodontal integrity is as succesful as stainless steel crowns Condition or disease : Carious Teeth Intervention/treatment: Procedure/Surgery: 3D Printed Prefabricated composite resin crown group Procedure/Surgery: Prefabricated stainless steel crown group
The aim of the study is to reveal the performance of the resin composite restorations after finishing the cavity walls and margins using bioactive glass air abrasion particles in comparison to the routine finishing with the finishing diamond stone according to the FDI criteria for post operative sensitivity, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, and retention.
One of our major concerns and daily challenges is the management of carious immature permanent teeth, also known as young permanent teeth while preserving the vitality of the dental. Preserving radicular pulp tissue in these teeth allows continuing apical maturation and apical closure. Diagnosis and treatment of carious immature permanent molars are considered a challenging aspect of daily clinical routine, where constant irritation of the pulp without treatment leads to irreversible pulpitis and necrosis, which impedes the natural root development and its complete formation ; leading at the end to a decision of extracting the tooth .Therefore; when treating immature permanent teeth, the main goal is to preserve the vitality of the pulp to guarantee natural root development. Pulpotomy is a commonly employed treatment for this procedure involving either the removal of only the outer layer of damaged and hyperemic tissue in exposed pulps (partial pulpotomy or Cvek pulpotomy); which is a procedure staged between pulp capping and complete pulpotomy. Complete pulpotomy is the total removal of coronal pulp tissue and the placement of a wound dressing on the canal orifice. Followed by the placement of a biocompatible material to promote healing and regeneration of the remaining vital pulp tissue. In many studies, MTA showed high success rates in treatment of carious immature permanent molars. However, MTA is expensive and has poor handling characteristics, a long setting time and no predictable antimicrobial activity. Recently, new bioceramics have emerged as promising materials, showing good potential for vital pulp therapy in immature permanent teeth due to their biocompatibility and favorable clinical outcomes. Both MTA and bioceramics have almost similar compositions, but bioceramics materials contain titanium oxide and calcium phosphate, in addition to the absence of aluminum in its composition. Besides, bioceramics can release a high percentage of calcium ions early while maintaining this high percentage for 28 days, in contrast to the mineral trioxide, which showed a lower ability to release calcium ions more slowly. Therefore, this study will be conducted to compare the effectiveness bioceramic material in partial and complete pulpotomy of immature permanent molars.
Dental caries represents a challenge for Oral Health Services in several African Countries, like Uganda. Few studies have been reported the burden of oral health, its prevention and non-operative treatment among school children in African countries. Aim: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of dental caries and the effectiveness of strategies to prevent and treat dental caries using a non-operative approach among children in Gulu Municipality, Uganda. Methods: The proposal RCT is structured in three phases: 1. A descriptive cross-sectional survey to collect oral data among 610 school children selected using a multistage cluster sampling; 2. A randomized unblinded two-arm trial to assess the difference in the treatment/prevention of dental caries using non-operative means among school children in the Ugandian Gulu municipality; and 3. A comparison of oral health conditions between a group of children who will be given dental cleaning tools and followed up over time versus a control group. The oral health status of the participants will be assessed according to WHO and ICDAS guidelines. Stata 14.0. will be used for analysis; descriptive statistics will be carried out to analyze continuous and categorical variables and chi-square test as well as independent tests for bivariate analysis and modified poisson regression. In addition, the factors associated with dental caries will be determined by linear regression models using a statistical significance level of 5% (α = 0.05). Discussion: This trial will be the first trial conducted in Uganda assessing a school-based caries prevention programme using the WHO and ICDAS standardized international guidelines. The findings obtained will increase knowledge on oral health in Uganda school children and the effectiveness of community-based caries prevention programme in this population.
