Filter by:This clinical trial will be conducted to compare the clinical performance of self adhesive giomer containing flowable composite and putty nanohybrid resin composite in class V cavities over one year follow-up
3D printed replicas of the donor tooth can reduce extraoral time during the autotransplantation of teeth, which can reduce dehydration and manipulation of periodontal tissue of the donor tooth, thus possibly increasing the success rate.
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of a modified version of the behaviour management technique Latent inhibition in combination with Er:YAG laser for achieving reduction of dental anxiety in paediatric dental patients. The main objectives are to compare dental anxiety felt during the laser and conventional dental treatment. The outcomes will be dental anxiety assessment by a self-reported anxiety during treatment in both group as well as measurement of heart rate dynamics during the procedures.
Esthetic and mechanical evaluation of calcium and phosphate releasing hybrid restorative material and fluoride releasing hybrid restorative material versus the conventional nanofilled resin composite in proximal carious lesions over 1 year follow-up according to the USPHS criteria.
The main objective of this RCT is to compare the efficacy of a powder/water jet prophylaxis device and conventional hand excavation in excavating root surface caries, with regard to restoration survival/success in older adults. The secondary outcome of this RCT is to assess the participants' treatment preferences for the received treatment with regard to the procedures involved and in the invasiveness of the procedures carried out during the ART restoration.
The optimal treatment of deep caries lesions extended to the inner third of dentin is still under discussion. Cariologists prefer selective caries removal, meanwhile endodontists recommend partial pulpotomy. So far, no clinical trial compared both interventions against each other. Additionally, current literature indicates alternative treatment options for irreversible pulpitis besides conventional orthograde root canal treatments like the partial or full pulpotomy. Existing clinical studies on this topic were using different clinical protocols, especially with regards to the accepted time to achieve hemostasis. It is still unclear, if the pulpal bleeding time prior to the capping procedure affects the outcome of partial or full pulpotomy.
in patients with Class I Cavities, will the use of Zenit Nano Ceramic Composite restorations have similar clinical performance to conventional Ceram-X Nano Ceramic Composite restorations, evaluation of restorations will be done at baseline, six, and twelve months using Modified USPHS Ryge criteria.
Although zirconia is widely used for fabrication of restorations, the 3Y-TZP zirconia where limited for posterior region for its high strength and bad esthetic. While the 5Y-TZP zirconia is limited for the anterior region due to its good esthetic and low strength. For that reason, the introduction of the new gradient technology zirconia (5Y-TZP\3Y-TZP) (IPS e.max Zircad Prime) has offered a solution to solve this problem be combining the esthetic of 5Y-TZP and the high strength of 3Y-TZP. The aim of the present study is to evaluate shade matching to natural tooth and patient satisfaction of the new gradient technology zirconia (5Y-TZP\3Y-TZP) and lithium disilicate ceramic crowns.
The study is a clinical controlled trial. Ethical approval will be obtained from Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University, Dammam. The study participants will be recruited from the dental hospital and conducted between November 2020 to November 2020. This will be a single-center, randomized, single blinded with a 1:1:1 allocation ratio for the application of Icon® resin infiltration, MI Paste Plus and both treatments
Overweight and obesity are among the major chronic disorders of the 21st century and one of the fastest growing health problems worldwide. Obesity is accompanied by a state of low-grade inflammation which may contribute to the occurrence of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, and certain cancers. Furthermore, obesity has been associated with oral health problems as hyposalivation, dental caries and periodontitis. The management and treatment of obesity is outlined in clinical guidelines from American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists/American College of Endocrinology and European Association for the Study of Obesity. The cornerstone is life-style modification programs aiming to reduce energy intake and increase physical activity, referred to as conservative treatment. All patients must undergo a thorough systematic work-up. The work-up concludes in a final multi-disciplinary meeting with a concrete individualized plan on how sustained weight-loss is to be achieved; either by a non-surgical or a surgical approach (Bariatric surgery). Periodontitis is cited to be the sixth most prevalent chronic condition globally. The mechanisms by which obesity affects the periodontal tissues is poorly understood, and the understanding of the key role of adipocytes in the inflammatory response to infections is crucial in comprehending how periodontal disease susceptibility may be modified in obese individuals. The main objectives of the present research project are to explore the association between obesity and oral diseases and further, to assess how weight changes following non-surgical and surgical interventions of obese patients may affect the cariological and periodontal health status. Four hundred patients referred to the Obesity Centre at Haukeland University Hospital, Norway will consecutively be screened and invited to participate in this prospective cohort study. At baseline, detailed medical and oral data will be obtained from health forms, questionnaires, clinical examinations, and by consulting the patient's care team. Following baseline examination, all patients will undergo a thorough systematic work-up consisting av interviews and consultations concluding in a final multi-disciplinary individualized non-surgical or surgical treatment plan on how sustained weight-loss can be achieved. New sets of medical, oral, and molecular data will be collected at 3-, 12- and 18-month following non-surgical/surgical interventions.
