Filter by:The study hypothesis is the difference in therapeutic effect of two varnish formulations (G1 = NaF, 2.26%F, G2 = NaF, 2.71% F + CaF2). These products are commercially available in the Brazilian and international market and they are used for dental caries as white spot lesions control.
The long term goals of this project are to develop and implement a combined prenatal and postnatal intervention to decrease early childhood caries. The program is based on risk assessment, diet intervention and counseling. To accomplish these goals a pilot study is needed to determine: 1) The ability to recruit and retain pregnant mothers in an intervention program; 2) The levels of S. mutans in pregnant mothers; 3) The ability of a diet intervention to decrease S. mutans in pregnant mothers.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of different sodium fluoride (NaF) containing toothpastes in prevention of dental caries. Change from baseline fluoride data at various time points up to four hours after a single brushing with NaF containing toothpastes will be evaluated.
The Waukesha Smiles Project will compare approaches to improve oral health habits and increase access to basic dental care for low-income children in Waukesha, Wisconsin through a school-based outreach program of oral health promotion, screening and referral.
This randomized clinical trial is aimed at testing the efficacy of pit and fissure sealants, in a current environmental context different from that of the seventies and eighties. It has a split mouth design. 4OO subjects are included and the duration of follow up is 2 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a new dental adhesive system in the restoration of Class I and Class II cavities in adult teeth.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical performance of three dental adhesive systems used to bond Class V cavity fillings in adult teeth.
The primary goals of this project are to determine the anticaries benefits of a prototype multi-mineral mouthrinse containing 225 ppm fluoride and 30 ppm of a Ca through the remineralization of enamel white-spots (non-cavitated lesions). The selection of patients with pre-existing white-spot lesions will permit an opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of the multi-mineral mouthrinse in reminerzalizing and/or inhibiting progression of enamel white-spot lesions.
Aims: 1. To develop a food supplement containing a health-promoting probiotic bacteria (B. lactis BB12) and xylitol to be administered with a novel soft, possibly occlusion-friendly pacifier. 2. Test in a clinical study how feasible the method is and to study how the intervention affects caries occurrence. Main hypothesis: The administration of B. lactis BB12 and xylitol affects beneficially the dental health of the child.
The aim of the present study was to compare salivary MS levels in four different groups of children with caries, that have been submitted to intraoral topical treatment with either 1,23% sodium fluoride, 1% chlorhexidine, 3% or 10% vancomycin, during 6 consecutive days. This clinical trial was designed to test two different hypotheses. First, that topical vancomycin would be more effective than chlorhexidine and sodium fluoride in salivary MS reduction. Secondly, a 6-day antimicrobial treatment with either one of these agents would produce a long lasting MS suppression, dispensing repeated antibacterial treatments.
