Filter by:This retrospective study aims to evaluate the clinical performance of posterior multi-surface Class II amalgam (AM) and resin composite (RC) restorations placed by dental students over a five-year period.
The main objective of this RCT is to compare the efficacy of a powder/water jet prophylaxis device and conventional hand excavation in excavating root surface caries, with regard to restoration survival/success in older adults. The secondary outcome of this RCT is to assess the participants' treatment preferences for the received treatment with regard to the procedures involved and in the invasiveness of the procedures carried out during the ART restoration.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the Hall technique and modified Hall technique to the conventional Stainless-Steel Crown restoration in the treatment of primary molars with dentinal caries with or without proximal ridge intact.
The aim of this study is to compare the survival rate of the conventional restorations with the Hall Technique in carious primary molars.
CBCT Data Of C-Shaped Canal In Mandibular Second Molar Will Be Assessed For Age.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quantity of Biorepair Total Protection toothpaste on composite surfaces inside oral cavity. Three orthodontic lingual buttons are bonded on the vestibular surfaces of upper right premolars (1.4 and 1.5) and upper right first molars (1.6) of volunteers. A composite resine is applied upon them. Then, after 7 days, 1.4 button will be debonded; after 15 days, 1.5 button are debonded; in the end, after 30 days the last button (1.6) is debonded. The buttons will be stored in sterile environment and then sent to laboratory for SEM evaluation.
The optimal treatment of deep caries lesions extended to the inner third of dentin is still under discussion. Cariologists prefer selective caries removal, meanwhile endodontists recommend partial pulpotomy. So far, no clinical trial compared both interventions against each other. Additionally, current literature indicates alternative treatment options for irreversible pulpitis besides conventional orthograde root canal treatments like the partial or full pulpotomy. Existing clinical studies on this topic were using different clinical protocols, especially with regards to the accepted time to achieve hemostasis. It is still unclear, if the pulpal bleeding time prior to the capping procedure affects the outcome of partial or full pulpotomy.
This observational cohort study aims to evaluate the short-term (3 months) efficacy of the standard fluoride therapy in the German National Health System for managing hypersensitive carious lesions in primary teeth (fluoride varnish application), and further compare it to a different fluoride therapy utilizing a silver-containing fluoride agent combined with potassium iodide solution.
At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of children had their dental care interrupted or postponed, generating a pent-up demand for primary care. In order to minimize the impact of this outage of face-to-face care, information and communication technologies could be an alternative and even likely to be envisioned within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). In this sense, this study sought to show the impact of the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the resolution of the pent-up demand for primary dental care to children in the SUS, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, proposing the use of telemonitoring, teleorientation and telescreening to resolve and address demands arising from this outage in primary elective care. The impact of the use of these strategies will be measured in terms of problem-solving, reduction of waiting time to resolve complaints and caregivers' perception about received care. For this, two clinical studies were designed and a primarily trial-based economic evaluation was planned. Mathematical models will be used to transpose these results into the reality of the SUS, in view of the State Health Secretariat of São Paulo and different Brazilian scenarios. Finally, the investigators also aim to study the possibility of implementing these technologies mentioned in the daily life of the SUS, even after a pandemic, and to check the possibility of incorporating and costing them, as well as exploring possible social impact and relationship with possible inequities in health.
Few oral exams are performed on 6-year-olds (key age for carious disease). This project aims to increase the number of oral check-ups for 6-year-olds in fragile areas (REP/REP+ areas).
