Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the anticaries efficacy for three dentifrices (1.5% arginine in a calcium base, 8.0% arginine in a calcium base, and 0.32% sodium fluoride in a silica base) in a two-year caries clinical study
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical performances of high-viscosity glass ionomer (GI), glass carbomer (GC), zirconia-reinforced GI (ZIR), and bulk-fill (BF) composite resin restorations.For this purpose, two calibrated operators placed 128 restorations in 30 patients with a mean age of 21 years. The restorations will be evaluated by one examiner at baseline and at 6, 12, 18,24, and 48 months using the modified US Public Health Service criteria. The data will statistically analyzed.
The aim of this 2- arm randomized-control study is to determine the effect of an oral hygiene self care intervention on the oral health status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of HIV-positive children (age: 8-16 years, n=172) presenting to five pediatric HIV clinics in Kano, Nigeria. The intervention will comprise oral health education and instructions on oral self-care. Data on oral health status and OHRQoL will be obtained at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months. Study findings will help inform policies to improve the oral health and OHRQoL of HIV-positive Nigerian children and guide the integration of oral health care services into HIV programs.
The aim of the present study is to assess if there are differences on perceived pain during local anesthesia performed with SleeperOne device or with a traditional syringe in pediatric patients. Patients responding to the inclusion criteria will be asked to participate to the study. After signing the informed consent, they will undergo local anesthesia procedure on first or second primary molars for the subsequent performing of dental filling. The split-mouth design will randomly allocate first or second primary molar from one quadrant to SleeperOne procedure, while the contralateral one will be subdued to local anesthesia with traditional syringe. After the procedure, patients will be asked to assess the perceived pain with a Visual Analogue Scale from a range 0-10. VAS scales will be used to assess sensations of "size" (related to the two instruments), bitter and vomit.
This study is aimed to evaluate the clinical performance of new One-shade universal composite resin as posterior restoration using US Public Health Service "USPSH" criteria for color match, marginal adaptation, surface texture, retention, recurrent caries and others after 1, 3, 6 and 9 months.
Two hundred individuals will be formed according to the study and control groups: Group-1: coronavirus 2 (Covid-19) (+) patients (n=100) and Group-2: Healthy individuals (in which the volunteers will be included due to group-1) (n=100). Oral examinations including DMFT scores, salivary flow rate, visible gingival index scores and radiographs (OPG) will be performed on both groups on the 1st appointment. Oral swap samples will be collected with sterile swap brushes (Six sample for each person) on the 1st, 7th and 30th days to evaluate the salivary immunoglobulins (Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Immunoglobulin M (IgM)) and cytokine (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10) levels. Blood samples will be collected to validate the oral swap test results.
BACKGROUND A simple method for arresting dentin caries with a tight seal of the cavity would exclude the need for injection and excavation, reduce the risk for dental fear and possibly postpone or eliminate the need for further treatment. AIM The aim is to evaluate success-rate and children's subjective experience of resin-based sealing (RBS) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) for treatment of occlusal dentin caries in primary molars. DESIGN Children aged 2-9 years will be recruited to undergo RBS- or GIC-treatment treatment for occlusal dentin caries in primary molars. A parent will answer the Short Form of Children's Fear Survey (CFSS-DS; parental version). No excavation but etching with 38% phosphoric acid will precede RBS. Topical and local anaesthesia and excavation with high speed bur will precede GIC. Time for treatment will be estimated. The children will rank their experience of each treatment on a 7-grade face scale. The dentist will evaluate the child's experience, cooperation and the overall experience of the treatment on a four-grade scale. The treatment will be evaluated as "without remark" or "defective" after 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. For statistical analysis the Chi-2-test, Wilcoxon-Signed-Rank-test and Paired t-test will be used.
compare 2-year clinical performance of recent bioactive ionic resin composite to resin-modified glass ionomer liner in indirect dental pulp treatment.
This study conducted on thirty children aged 3-6 years old of both genders, have bilateral carious lower first primary molars. Pre-operative periapical x- ray were taken for both sides. The children were divided into 2 groups(SMART group and ART group). For Atraumatic Restorative Technique (ART technique), glass ionomer cement(GIC) was applied according to manufacturer's instructions. For Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Technique (SMART technique), SDF was applied carefully using bended micro sponge brush. It was applied directly to only the affected tooth surface. After one week GIC was applied according to manufacturer's instructions. Clinical and radiographic evaluation were done for all teeth at 6, 12 months. The data were collected then statistically analyzed using chi-square test to show the difference between groups.
The aim of this study is to compare the 2-year clinical performance of bulk-fill composites, which can be applied as a single layer, and the nano-hybrid filled composite resins, which are frequently used in clinical routine, in children in a split-mouth design. This study was conducted on 89 patients aged 6-12 years who had caries on bilateral mandibular first molars. Our study has a randomized, cross-controlled, and double-blind design. In split-mouth design, restorations of mandibular permanent molars completed with nano-hybrid ORMOCER based bulk-fill filling material Admira Fusion x-tra (Voco GmbH, Cuxhaven, Germany) and nano-hybrid composite Grandio (Voco , Cuxhaven, Germany). Futurabond U single dose (Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany) universal adhesive was used for all restorations, in the selective enamel etching mode. The clinical success of the restorations will be evaluated at 6, 12 and 24-month controls. Evaluations has been made by two physicians other than the one who did the restoration, who do not know which restorative material was applied to which tooth.
