Filter by:This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of two topical fluoride application protocols, namely 38% silver diamine fluoride and sodium fluoride with added casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) in arresting dental caries in children.
Dental caries is a non-communicable biofilm-mediated disease affecting both crown and exposed root surfaces in the primary and permanent dentitions. The carious process involves interactions between the biofilm formed on the tooth surface, sugars, salivary and genetic factors. Based on more than 100 years of research, there is unequivocal evidence that dietary fermentable carbohydrates (sugars and starch) play a key role in caries initiation and progression. In this context, sucrose deserves special attention; apart from being rapidly converted into acids it is also synthesized into extracellular glucans, fructans and intracellular storage compounds. According to the ecological plaque hypothesis, it is generally accepted that sucrose exposure is fueling and driving the stable and diverse symbiotic oral biofilm to a dysbiotic form with a reduced diversity and overgrowth of acidogenic and acid-tolerating species. Such typical bacterial profiles have demonstrated in subjects with different stages of caries in cross-sectional settings but the timing associated with a sugar provocations is less known. Moreover, the use of probiotic bacteria in adjunct to regular oral care to support biofilm diversity and prevent dental caries has gained momentum in recent years. It has been demonstrated that probiotic supplements can increase salivary pH, and reduce the counts of salivary S. mutans, thereby exert a stabilizing effect on the oral microbiota. In this context, it is of interest to explore whether or not the use of beneficial bacteria can counteract a sugar-driven shift in the salivary microbiota. Another question of interest is to study if the oral biofilm has a colonization memory similar to that of the gastro-intestinal tract and the suggested study design could possibly enlighten this area of research.
the main objective of this study is to evaluate staining potential and Caries Arresting Effect of silver diamine fluoride⁄potassium Iodide and silver diamine fluoride in carious anterior primary teeth
The objective of the study is to determine the different profiles of patients with early caries consulting at the Lille CHU and to analyse the characteristics associated with the severity of the pathology. The data will be collected using a simple clinical examination of the child and a survey of the parent using a questionnaire. The typology of patients with early caries will be analysed according to the predefined variables collected using the questionnaire via a main component analysis in order to study the links between these variables. At the same time, a hierarchical classification analysis will be carried out to study the existence of homogeneous sub-groups of individuals in regard to the early caries. These sub-groups will be described
Atypical cavities, which involve more than two surfaces being one of them vestibular or lingual/palatine, are a challenge for restorative dentistry, since the risk of failure of the restorations are related to the number of surfaces involved. Thus, the objective of this project is to conduct a randomized clinical trial in order to evaluate the efficacy and patient-centered outcomes of a chemically-activated alkasite composite resin in atypical lesions of deciduous molars. Deciduous molars of children between 4 and 7 years of age with at least one atypical cavity lesion in deciduous molars will be selected for the ECR. The selected teeth will be randomly divided into two groups: Chemically activated composite resin Alkasite and resin-Modified glass ionomer cement. Clinical and radiographic follow-up of the lesions will be performed for 6 and 12 months. The efficacy of the treatments will be evaluated by the longevity of the restoring procedures and the arrestment of the caries lesions. Patient-centered outcomes will also be evaluated.
Atypical cavities, which involve more than two surfaces, one being buccal or lingual/palatal, are a challenge for restorative dentistry, since the risk of restorative failure is related to the number of surfaces involved. Thus, the purpose of this umbrella project is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and patient-centered outcomes of a chemically activated composite alkasite resin in atypical deciduous molar lesions. Primary molars of children aged 4 to 7 years with at least one atypical cavitary lesion in primary molars will be selected for the RCT. The selected teeth will be randomly divided into: Alkasite chemically activated composite resin and Bulk fill composite resin. Clinical and radiographic follow-up of the lesions will be performed for 6 and 12 months. The effectiveness of the treatments will be evaluated by the longevity of the restorative procedures and paralysis of the lesions. Patient-centered outcomes will also be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to characterize basic PK parameters (Cmax, t1/2, AUC) in healthy children to contribute to evidence for the safety of Advantage Arrest, consistent with Guidance for Industry--Exposure--Response Relationships (April 2003).
This study investigates how often cavities develop on the permanent teeth of patients with braces (orthodontic treatment). The hypothesis is that there is no difference in the number of cavities on the permanent teeth of patients with braces compared to similar patients without braces.
The study aim is to characterize the kinetics of silver and fluoride after topical application of silver diamine fluoride.
to asses the age, reasons, oral health status and dental treatment needs of children in their first dental visit.
