Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nanosilver fluoride for controlling the growth of S. mutans present in dental plaque of children.
This study was conducted to assess the effects of commercially available probiotic drink on the number of salivary mutans streptococci in school going children, aged 12-14 years in Bangalore city in India
AIM: To evaluate influence of two methods to avoid saliva contamination on the survival rate of atraumatic restorations in primary molars. 232 children, aged between 6-7 years, of both genders, were selected having one primary molar with a proximal dentine lesion. The children were randomly divided into two groups: a control group with class II ART restoration made using cotton rolls and an experimental group using rubber dam. The restorations were made and they were followed up every six months. After two years, the results were compilated and analyzed.
The purposes of this study is to determine whether xylitol use in kindergarten school children in addition to oral health education, provision of tooth brush and fluoride paste, fluoride varnish and sealant treatment will reduce decay in the first permanent molars and other permanent teeth.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the conservative (pulpectomy) versus non-conservative treatment (tooth extraction) of primary molars affected with severe dental caries associated to oral health-related quality of life, anthropometric and clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two new family-based oral health promotion programs with the routine program in use earlier in Vantaa public dental service. The children born in 2008 were followed from their first visit to public dental service at the age of 6-12 months to their dental examination at the age of 2-2½ years. The outcome measures are the colonization of mutans streptococci in dental plaque, dental caries, and the oral health habits of two-year-olds.
The aim of this proposed study is to investigate the cost-effectiveness of four methods in preventing fissure caries in permanent teeth, which is the most prevalent dental disease in primary school children in China. The four caries prevention methods are: resin fissure sealant, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) sealant, sodium fluoride varnish, and silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution. The specific study objectives are: 1. to describe longitudinally the clinical outcomes of using the above four methods to prevent dental caries in the pits and fissures of permanent first molars in school children, 2. to describe the cost of using the above four methods to prevent dental caries in an outreaching dental care programme in China, and 3. to compare the cost-effectiveness of the above four caries prevention methods.
To evaluate the efficacy of a papain-based gel in caries removal.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the clinical effectiveness of three treatments involving different caries management strategies (conventional restorations, Hall technique, and Non-Restorative Caries Treatment) to the management of class II carious primary molars in children (3-8 year-old).
AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of daily tooth brushing with high concentrated fluoride dentifrice on white spot lesion (WSL) formation in adolescents during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances (FOA). The null hypothesis is that neither incidence nor severity of lesions would differ from a control group using standard fluoride dentifrice. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: 420 healthy consecutive 11-16 year-old patients referred to 4 Orthodontic Specialist Clinics are randomized to use either a dentifrice containing 5.000 ppm fluoride or a regular dentifrice with 1.450 ppm sodium fluoride. To be eligible for inclusion, the patients are scheduled for bimaxillary treatment with FOA for an expected duration of at least 1 year. All are instructed to use 0.25 gram dentifrice and brush their teeth during 2 minutes twice daily during the entire period of treatment. Before bonding, and after polishing with a rubber cup and non-fluoride pumice paste, 3 digital photos of the maxillary incisors, canines and premolars are taken. At debonding, remaining composite material on the surfaces is removed with a slow rotating carbide bur followed by polishing with a rubber cup and pumice paste. A new series of frontal and lateral digital photos is thereafter exposed. The primary outcome measure is the incidence and severity of WSL as registered separately by two blinded experienced and calibrated clinicians according to a validated index. A random sample of 50 cases is re-assessed to check intra- and inter-examiner reliability. The intervention is indended run throughout the full duration of the orthodontic treatment, varying between 18 and 24 months.
