Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of a nano-fill and a bulk fill resin composite in class II restorations.
Jordanian children have very poor oral hygiene parameters, and this is reflected as very high caries prevalence and poor gingival health conditions. This study will focus on children at social homes in the community in order to establish a baseline reference about their oral health status, treatment needs, and barriers to dental care. Also, to report the efficacy of oral health education using audio-visual aids and frequent motivation on oral health status, treatment needs and barriers to care among children at social homes in Jordan.
Teeth selected for intervention with Atraumatic Restorative Treatment will receive Glass Ionomer restorations (control) or MI varnish (test) before receiving the Glass Ionomer restoration
The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of passive smoking on oxidative stress and dental caries in children.A total of 180 children were included to the study as follows; 90 children exposed to passive smoking, and 90 children in the control group (unexposed controls). Also demographic data were recorded (age, gender, parental education levels, child's tooth-brushing habit and child's daily dietary sugar exposure, family income). Dental examination of children were performed and caries prevalence of the patients were recorded. Unstimulated saliva samples were collected from children. Saliva 'cotinine levels' and oxidative stress markers 'total antioxidant status' (TAS), and' total oxidant status' (TOS) were evaluated by using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The obtained data parameters of the two groups were evaluated and comparison was performed.
Clinical performance of indirect adhesive restorations - onlays, overlays- luted with light-cured composite resin will be evaluated over three years.
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of passive smoking on the levels of salivary TAS, TOS, LL-37 and dental status in children.In the study the parents of children were asked to fill out a complete survey about smoking habits. After filling out the questionnaire, according to the survey results, a total of 180 children were included to the study as follows; 90 children exposed to passive smoking, and 90 children in the control group (unexposed controls). Also demographic data were recorded (age, gender, parental education levels, child's tooth-brushing habit and child's daily dietary sugar exposure, family income). Dental examination of children were performed and caries prevalance of the patients were recorded. Unstimulated saliva samples were collected from children. Saliva 'cotinine levels' which are expected to increase in passive smoking group; 'antimicrobial peptide LL-37' and oxidative stress markers 'total antioxidant status' (TAS), and' total oxidant status' (TOS) were evaluated by using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The obtained data parameters of the two groups were evaluated and comparison was performed.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of heated in the clinical success of proximal high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations in primary molars. Material & Method: This randomized, split mouth, multicenter study was performed in four different centers including 88 patients aged between 5-7 years old. Selection criteria included clinically and/or radiographically detected proximal caries extending into the dentin tissue. A total of 250 primary molars were restored with a bulk fill GIC (Equia Forte, GC, Europe) and randomly allocated to one of the following groups: 1) non-heated (n = 125) and 2) heated (n = 125). LED light (GC- D-Light DUO, Tokyo Japan) was used at standard mode 1200 mW/cm2, at 50-60 ºC, for 60 sec for heat application. All restorations were clinically evaluated using modified USPHS criteria at the baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Chi-square test, Fisher's Exact Chi-square test, Continuity (Yates) correction, Fisher Freeman Halton test and Mc Nemar test were used to compare qualitative data with descriptive statistical methods (frequency). Kaplan Meier and Life Tables were used for survival analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
This study is conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of class I reinforced glass ionomer restorations (Zirconomer Improved and Equia Forte Fil)
The study's aim was to investigate if a motivational interviewing intervention (MI) improved oral self-care behaviors of AIAN caregivers of infants and determine if the MI intervention promoted positive changes in caregivers' ECC risk-related behaviors.
