Filter by:This study compared four mouth rinses/chews for their ability to reduce Streptococcus Mutans after usage. The four that were compared were chlorhexidine gluconate (0.12%), sodium fluoride (0.05%), paraffin wax chewing gum (sugar free), and deionized water. The paraffin wax chewing gum replaced the originally planned coconut oil and served as a placebo comparator.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if C16G2 Gel administered over a certain period of time either with a toothbrush or a custom dental tray can effectively kill bacteria in the mouth that cause dental cavities.
This study concerns the prevention of dental caries by sealing pits and fissures of permanent molars with a photopolymerizable resin. It must compare these three techniques Microdentisty (air abrasion, abrasion and sound using small cutters) usually used to prepare micro cavities in the enamel and / or the outer third of the dentin. These three commonly used techniques have never been compared by retaining as endpoint retention of sealant. These techniques are painless and do not require local anesthesia.
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of fluoride varnishes in the prevention of dental caries lesions in erupting permanent first molars, in high-risk patients. Using as reference ICDAS criteria, when the success means that the surface maintain an ICDAS value 0 and failure that has change in ICDAS value 0 to 1. Sample: The sample comprise 180 patients between 6-7 years old with high-risk of dental caries. Study design: It proposed an experimental design randomized into 3 groups according to the frequency of topical fluoride application.(Group A: every 6 month; Group B: every 3 month; Group C: positive control).
This pilot trial is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial with two parallel arms: an intervention group using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and a placebo group (control). 60 eligible healthy adults will be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. Both groups will receive the traditional preventive measures including cleanings, Fluoride varnish, diet analysis and counseling. Study participants will be followed for one year and caries progression will be radiographically monitored.
This study assessed long-term impact of tooth Eruption Stages (ES) on sealant retention on occlusal surfaces previously coated with intermediary bonding layer and it determined caries incidence outcome evolved. The treatment were (sealant/technique): Fluroshield; Helioseal Clear Chroma; Single Bond and Fluroshield; Excite and Helioseal Clear Chroma.
This was a block-randomized, controlled, open-label trial and was executed in two preschools in The Gambia. Fluoridated table salt (250 mg F/kg salt) was administered in daily communal preschool feeding. In total, 304 children in the test group and 137 children in the control group, aged 3 to 5 years were enrolled according to inclusion criteria (complete primary dentition and a parental or legal guardian informed consent). Mean difference of incidence of cavitated carious lesions (Δd3/4mft) after 12 months was the primary end point. The relative preventive dental caries effect was. Secondary end points were the difference of incidence of white spot lesions and the difference of incidence of total carious lesions.
This study aims to evaluate, through a controlled clinical randomized study, the effectiveness of sealing carious lesions with composite resin in primary molars. For this, healthy children (n=100) with caries lesion reaching to the middle third of the dentin of primary molars, will be submitted to different treatments to remove the lesions. These patients will be randomly allocated in the following treatment groups: (1) cavity sealing (Non-invasive resin based dental sealing) without caries removal; and (2) Partial caries removal and Invasive resin based restoration. The clinical and radiographic success of the treatment groups will be verified by periodic examination of the restorations by USPHS criteria and radiographic subtraction, respectively, which will be checked progression or not of injury. The researcher responsible for these assessments will be blind to the study, whose evaluations will occur after 6, 12, 24 and 36 months of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a traditional oral health educational program and a program based on the theories of the Motivational Interview directed to the child's mothers/fathers/responsible parents to reduce childhood caries (2 and 3 years of age).
The research project "SEAL-DK" is focusing on advantages and disadvantages of two treatment strategies: non-invasive fissure sealing and invasive restorative treatment of manifest occlusal caries lesions in permanent teeth in children and adolescents. The purpose of the project is to promote the understanding of the possibilities of non-invasive treatment of occlusal caries lesions in the permanent dentition, and to increase the present knowledge about the optimal threshold for sealing or restoration, respectively, when treating such lesions. The project is carried out as a randomized study of the two treatment strategies: non-invasive versus invasive treatment of occlusal caries. When organizing the study, it is emphasized that no treatment shall be carried out, if conflicting the participating dentists' perception of clinically proper caries treatment, and that the results shall have a high reliability and consistency. The hypothesis is that caries progression can be stopped by non-invasive fissure sealing changing the threshold and postponing the time for invasive restoration.
