This study is a randomly, controlled, prospective in vivo study. The objective of this study is: To evaluate the cariostatic and re-mineralizing effects of Nano silver fluoride, Nano Hydroxyapatite and sodium fluoride varnishes in caries prevention through: 1. Clinical evaluation using international caries detection and assessment system (ICDAS II visual scoring criteria) 2. Calcium and fluoride content using enamel biopsy
Tooth decay affects 75% of Malaysian preschool children, most of which remain untreated. Untreated decay can cause pain, and impair nutritional status and physical growth. In 2012, nearly 4,000 children in Malaysia were referred for hospital paediatric dental services because of early childhood caries. The realistic management of these children would have been treatment under general anaesthesia or sedation, at considerable cost to the state, and distress to the children and families. The amount of dental disease in young children who have been referred to the hospital children's dentistry service for severe caries is disturbing, particularly given the fact that each district has a dental clinic and that the water is very likely to be fluoridated. It is unlikely that there will ever be enough dental clinics and dental practitioners to manage the amount of disease. Clearly, existing health services need to be supplemented with a population-based approach to promote child oral health. The investigators, therefore, propose a community trial study to investigate the effectiveness of a dental health visiting service for caries control in young children. It is likely that such a home-based intervention is influenced by the family dynamics in which the child lives. The investigators further propose to assess the cost-effectiveness of dental home visits (DHVs). Health economic evaluation can be used to assess health services to ensure there is cost-efficient resource allocation. Economic evaluation is defined as the comparative analysis of alternative courses of action in terms of both their costs and consequences. A health intervention is considered cost-effective when it produces acceptable costs and health benefits. Economic data are now recognized as important due to the fact that dental disease is very common and expensive for the health care system. This study was conducted in collaboration with the National Oral Health of Pre-school Survey (NOHPS), in which a sub-sample will be followed up for two years. The NOHPS is a national survey of the oral health of 5-year-olds that takes place every 10 years. This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the cost-effectiveness of home-based DHVs with families of children at high risk of caries in caries prevention compared to children receiving oral health information in the form of an education leaflet (ELs) alone. A collaborative project with the Oral Health Division (OHD) at the Ministry of Health is proposed. The OHD will provide access to a sub-sample from the National Oral Health Preschool Survey (NOHPS), with clinical dental health data.
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is well known for long-term complications to general and oral health. Periodontal disease has a bidirectional association with the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (Mealey, 2006; Taylor, 2001; Demmer et el.,2008). However, current literature conflicts with regards to dental caries incidence in patients with T2DM (Sampaio, Mello and Alves, 2011). Objective: To investigate potential protective and risk factors for dental caries among T2DM with vitamin D and HbA1c using clinical, salivary and microbial analyses. Methods: This project is a case-control clinical study. The study will be conducted at Royal London Dental Hospital, Institute of Dentistry, Bart's Health NHS Trust, London, UK. This study will aim to recruit 182 participants in total with diabetes (type 2), aged ≥18 male or female and participants will be cross-matched with non-diabetes according to age and gender. Each participant will undergo a baseline screening for around 60 minutes where all the following assessments will be carried out; Caries risk assessment (CAMBRA), Plaque index, International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and Laser fluorescence evaluator (SOPRLIFE®, Acteon, France) and Oral behavioural and sociodemographic background will be collected. Prior to the clinical study, there will be a laboratory based study using extracted teeth. The aim of this ex-vivo study is to assess the autofluorescence variation in dental carious lesions and compare this with International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS).
Arabic is one of the most spoken languages in the world; however, the CARIES-QC questionnaire which evaluate the effect of oral diseases and disorders on children's oral health-related quality of life has not yet been validated in Arabic speaking children. So the purpose of this study was to translate the CARIES-QC into Arabic and test the measurement properties of the Arabic version of the CARIES-QC for use in children with dental caries who speaks Arabic .
Context: CEMENT PBS CIMMO DTA® has physical and biological properties that classify it as a biocompatible material and inducer of biomineralization, attributes that qualify it as material as an indirect pulp capper in permanent tooth restorations. Objective: The present clinical study proposes the use of PBS CIMMO DTA® cement as an indirect pulp capper, in resin restorations composed of permanent molars and premolars. The objective was to minimize postoperative sensitivity arising from restorative procedures. Method: Randomized clinical trial with two arms, double blind, interventional, prospective. The sample consisted of 20 male patients, with an average age of 20 years. Totaling 70 teeth to be treated. The teeth were divided into two groups: Group R (Control Group, n = 35), treated with a standard restorative procedure. Group D (Study group n = 35), treated using CEMENT PBS CIMMO DTA®, as an indirect capper of the pulp wall. The evaluation was carried out by a masked examiner for both groups. Sensitivity tests were performed before the restorative procedure, at 48 hours, 7, 15 and 30 days after the procedure. The analysis included pain caused by thermal stimuli: Cold Test (TM); horizontal (TPH) and vertical (TPV) percussion; Bite Test (TM) and Pain Decline Time (DD) was measured. Measured using Visual Analog Scale (EVA).
The main aim of the study is to currently define the prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in children aged 5-10 years in 2 Italian cities (Ancona and Verona). The screening protocol is based on a 1st line genetic test (searche of HLA DQ2/DQ8 genotypes) followed by a serological diagnosis (IgA TTG and IgG DGP).
Esthetic and mechanical evaluation of calcium and phosphate releasing hybrid restorative material and fluoride releasing hybrid restorative material versus the conventional nanofilled resin composite in proximal carious lesions over 1 year follow-up according to the USPHS criteria.
This study seeks to evaluate the best way to encourage a healthy diet and proper fluoride use in children at greatest risk for tooth decay. To do so, this study will evaluate whether or not a family focused intervention, MySmileBuddy, is able to reduce tooth decay progression in Hispanic preschoolers at high risk of this disease.
Clinical performance of indirect adhesive restorations - onlays, overlays- luted with light-cured composite resin will be evaluated.
