Filter by:The objectives were to evaluate the antibacterial effect of self-etching adhesives on carious dentin and the clinical results of restorations in a randomized controlled clinical trial. 104 carious deciduous molars (n=92) were randomly allocated to receive one of the self-etching adhesives: Clearfil SE Bond - control (CB - n =53) or Clearfil SE Protect containing MDPB (CP - n=51) after caries removal selective. Clinical, radiographic, photographic and plaster model assessments (n=53 deciduous molars, CB=29, CP=24) of resin restorations were performed at baseline and at 6, 12, and 24 months. Dentin samples (n=51 deciduous teeth; CB=24 and CP=27) were collected immediately after excavation of carious dentin and 3 months later, and cultured for mutans streptococci - (MS), lactobacilli (LB) and total microorganisms (TM). Data were statistically analyzed (p<0.05).
Dental caries is a biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven, multifactorial, dynamic disease that results in the phasic demineralization and remineralization of dental hard tissues. These tissues have poor regeneration capability because of the lack of both regenerative cells and vascularization. In the complex caries progression process involving dietary sugars, bacterial metabolism and demineralization, the collagenous organic matrix becomes exposed and destroyed by resident and bacterial proteases, allowing the lesion to expand
To compare the effectiveness of the semi-annual application of 38% SDF with two post-treatment protocols in arresting dental caries in preschool children
Children from two orphanages will be examined for dental caries experience, in comparison to parented school children.
to investigate the effect of modifying GIC with different formulations on the antibacterial activity and clinical performance in reference to unmodified glass ionomer restorative materials.
The goal of this observational study is to identify the efficacy of silver diamine fluoride 38% followed by sodium fluoride varnish 5% in a population with untreated dental caries age range 4 to 12 years old. The main questions to answer are - Efficacy of treatment of active tooth decay with the treatment protocol of 38% silver diamine fluoride and 5% sodium fluoride varnish. - Clinical evaluation of tooth decay treated with 38% silver diamine fluoride and 5% sodium fluoride varnish in quality of hardness, color change and caries progression. - Explore the association of treatment with 38% silver diamine fluoride and 5% sodium fluoride varnish with: i. Reduction of oral pain caused by the presence of carious lesions. ii. Improvement in gingival oral health. iii. Changes in general nutritional status through measurements of height, weight, hemoglobin levels and nutritional survey. The participants will be identified, charted (with nutritional surveys and parameters), as well as treated and compared in a six- and twelve-month period, where researchers will clinically identify the association between the use of this protocol and the efficacy of such, as well as other related nutritional aspects.
The aim of the study is to compare the incidence of dental caries and the level of demineralization in pediatric patients with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. Patients will conduct professional oral hygiene at the baseline. The following clinical indexes will be assessed: BEWE Index, Plaque Index, Bleeding Score, Schiff Air Index. Then, patients will be randomly divided into two groups: - Trial group: domiciliary use of Biorepair Total Protection Plus + desensitizing enamel-repair shock treatment twice a day - Control group: domiciliary use of Elmex Caries Protection twice a day The clinical indexes will be assessed again after 1 month (T1), after 3 (T2) and 6 months (T3).
The aim of this split mouth randomized controlled study was to compare formocresol pulpotomy and zinc-oxide and eugenol pulpectomy in the treatment of vital pulp exposure in primary incisor. 39 Contralateral pairs of incisors were randomly assigned to receive pulpotomy or pulpectomy in children aged from 18 to 66 months old. Clinical and radiographical evaluations were performed at 6 and 12 months
The aim of this randomised controlled double-blinded, split mouth, single-center clinical trial was to evaluate the 18-month clinical performance of nano-filled resin-modified glass ionomer and sub-micron hybrid resin composite restorations in lower first permanent teeth of pediatric patients.
The aim of the study was to evaluate if there were differences in oral findings between patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma and a control group of health people.
