Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the Hall technique and modified Hall technique to the conventional Stainless-Steel Crown restoration in the treatment of primary molars with dentinal caries with or without proximal ridge intact.
CBCT Data Of C-Shaped Canal In Mandibular Second Molar Will Be Assessed For Age.
At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of children had their dental care interrupted or postponed, generating a pent-up demand for primary care. In order to minimize the impact of this outage of face-to-face care, information and communication technologies could be an alternative and even likely to be envisioned within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). In this sense, this study sought to show the impact of the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the resolution of the pent-up demand for primary dental care to children in the SUS, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, proposing the use of telemonitoring, teleorientation and telescreening to resolve and address demands arising from this outage in primary elective care. The impact of the use of these strategies will be measured in terms of problem-solving, reduction of waiting time to resolve complaints and caregivers' perception about received care. For this, two clinical studies were designed and a primarily trial-based economic evaluation was planned. Mathematical models will be used to transpose these results into the reality of the SUS, in view of the State Health Secretariat of São Paulo and different Brazilian scenarios. Finally, the investigators also aim to study the possibility of implementing these technologies mentioned in the daily life of the SUS, even after a pandemic, and to check the possibility of incorporating and costing them, as well as exploring possible social impact and relationship with possible inequities in health.
Clinical performance according to modified USPHS criteria of advanced self-Adhesive resin composite hybrid restorations is evaluated for 1 year versus conventional resin composite restorations in posterior teeth.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical behavior of zirconia crowns in dental esthetic zone with vertical versus conventional preparation techniques using a new gradient technology monolithic zirconia (5Y-TZP/3Y-TZP).
Effectiveness of lasers in reducing pain during and after root canal treatment for mandibular molar teeth affected with acute irreversible pulpitis.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate in vivo dentifrices containing different active ingredients in fluoride (F) retention in saliva and dental biofilm. Material and methods: The dentifrices used in the study were: G1- Daily Regenerator Dentalclean Neutral (RDCN); G2- Sensodyne Repair & Protect (SRP); G3- Daily Regenerator Dentalclean Acid (RDCA), G4- Colgate Total Daily Repairc (CTDR). A double-blind, randomized crossover clinical study was conducted with eighteen residents of a city without a water fluoridation program. Biofilm and saliva samples were collected 1h and 12h after the last brushing for biofilm and, 1 to 60 minutes and 12 hours for saliva. The concentrations of F in saliva and biofilm were analyzed by specific electrode using the hexamethyldisiloxane facilitated diffusion technique (HMDS). Data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni test (p <0.05). Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for saliva data. Result: No significant difference was observed between the groups regarding the retention of F in saliva. However, the largest area under the curve values in saliva were found for groups G3 and G4. The highest median values of F-biofilm were found in G3 for 1h and 12h collection times. Conclusion: The toothpaste containing Refix (RDCA) technology presented the most promising results for fluoride retention in oral exposure biomarkers.
Clinical performance of short fiber reinforced flowable resin composite restorations versus conventional resin composite restorations will be tested in posterior teeth (2y randomized clinical trial).
The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate the effects of a school-based behavioral intervention, CATCH Healthy Smiles, to reduce the risk of dental caries in a cohort of kindergarten through 2nd grade (K-2) children serving low-income, ethnically-diverse children,to determine the impact of CATCH Healthy Smiles on child behavioral, psychosocial, and environmental outcomes beginning in K through 2nd grade, compared to children in the control schools and to examine the extent to which the child behavioral, psychosocial, and environmental factors mediate the improvements in child caries risk.
Background: The traditional approach of carious lesions with risk for progression has has been to excavate all infected and demineralised tissue before placement of the restoration. In primary teeth, treatment of deep carious lesions is associated with significant risk of pulp lesions and postoperative complications and thus the risk of the teeth being lost. During the past decade, more focus has been on biological methods for caries excavating of deep dentin lesions. An overview comparing different biological methods such as partial or stepwise excavation of deep dentin caries in primary teeth shows that they work as well as traditional methods performing complete caries excavation but have the benefits of reducing the risk of iatrogenic pulp damage [1-3]. Our primary hypothesis is that there is no difference in tooth or filling survival after partial caries excavation compared to complete caries excavation in primary molars. The secondary hypothesis is that the therapist's knowledge, experience and treatment attitudes and choices are not affected by a participation in the study.
