Filter by:This clinical trial will be conducted to compare the efficacy of grape seed extract oil versus sodium fluoride mouth wash in the management of remineralization in adult patients with white spot lesion over six months.
•To investigate clinical and radiographic outcomes of Hall Technique and conventional restorative care using RMGIC in occulusoproximal carious lesions of primary molars in children.
This double blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial aimed to observe the success of stepwise (SW) and one step (OneS) excavation techniques in the management of deep dentin caries. Additionally, evaluation of glass ionomer cement (GIC) as temporary restorative was also performed. For this purpose, forty participants were selected among the routine patients coming to university clinic. A permanent tooth having caries lesions penetrating to 75 percentage or more of dentin of patient were included. Randomization to SW and OneS groups were organized by coin method. The periphery of the cavities including enamel-dentin junction was cleaned until reach to hard dentin. Afterwards, selective removal to soft dentin on the pulpal side of the cavities was applied manually excavation and covered with pure calcium hydroxide and zinc oxide eugenol cement. GIC was used for temporary filling. This process was implemented both the first stage excavation of SW and OneS groups. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed at 6 months according to clinical signs and symptoms and radiographic sings using Periapical Index (PAI). Besides, temporary restorations were evaluated according to the of Ryge/Modified USPHS criteria. Following this evaluation, on the SW group, the cavities was re-entered and selective removal was applied up to firm dentin and pulp-capping were applied as mentioned above. In OneS group, temporary restoration was reduced as a base. All of the cavities were permanently restored with resin composite. Whole procedure was completed at one centre by a specialist, and control sessions was performed two experienced experts. Participants and experts were blinded in this study.
This is a prospective study in which surgical extrusion of single-rooted teeth is carried out by the same operator in 15 consecutive patients. Main objective: to evaluate the soft tissue rebound of the teeth 1 year after the surgery. Null hypothesis (H0): surgical extrusion is not a predictable treatment for the restoration of single rooted teeth.
Permanent teeth with carious pulp exposure and indicated for full pulpotomy will be treated using three different materials using aseptic technique and will be subsequently followed up clinically and radiographically at 6 months, 1 year and yearly up to 5 years.
Treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances is often associated with pain, which poses great challenges in the efficient brushing of the teeth thus making the teeth more vulnerable to plaque formation. Treatment duration with fixed orthodontic appliances usually extends to 18 months or even longer in some cases. This prolonged vulnerability to plaque formation frequently leads to demineralization of teeth. There is also an increase in the number of plaque retentive sites due to the fixed appliances, leading to a rapid change in the bacterial composition of the dental plaque, particularly in the number of acidogenic bacteria. The resulting enamel decalcification is also known as white spot lesions (WSLs), which is an early sign of demineralization of enamel. Enamel WSLs (EWSLs) can be observed even as early as four weeks from the start of fixed orthodontic treatment. The occurrence of EWSLs adjacent to the orthodontic brackets ranges from 15 to 85%. The incidence of EWSLs development is higher in orthodontic patients as compared to the development of similar lesions in non-orthodontic patients. These EWSLs are not aesthetically pleasing and is certainly unacceptable when it develops during fixed orthodontic treatment that is usually performed in patients who often seek such treatment to improve their aesthetics. Additionally, even if the outcome of fixed orthodontic treatment is superior from well-aligned teeth, aesthetics can be greatly compromised with EWSLs. Therefore, the prevention of such lesions is an important concern for orthodontists. Though professionally applied topical fluoride varnish helps in remineralization of EWSLs, an adequate supply of calcium and phosphate ions is essential for remineralization. Therefore, EWSLs on maxillary teeth could be prevented and remineralized by the use of advanced novel topical fluoride varnish with added calcium and phosphate-based delivery system.
The aims of this research are to determine if vertical bitewings will be more effective and more comprehensive for the diagnosis of caries and the level of alveolar bone loss than the horizontal bitewing technique for the patients at King Abdulaziz University over the age of 18. This is a cross sectional study. All the images in this study will be conducted at School of Dentistry, King Abdulaziz University. Each patients will be exposed to 4 horizontal bitewing for posterior teeth ( standard of care ) and 4 vertical bitewing for the same area ( experimental ). The radiographs will be processed digitally. All the x ray will be taken using the standard protection protocol.
the NMFACT is a new caries index to overcome the drawbacks of DMF cries index the ''N'' is for non carious lesion, the ''M''for missed teeth,the ''F''for filled teeth,the''C''for carious teeth,the ''A''for alignment and the ''T''for dental trauma. each problem will be scored from 0(normal).
platelet rich fibrin(PRF) obtained from patient from patient blood sample (before start of treatment)is injected in the site of exposure of exposure(intervention group) control group will receive normal pulp capping procedure by MTA follow up will be one year
natural teeth will be filled with the 3 different material then the dentin sample will be collected ,bacterial culture and elementary analysis will be done
