Filter by:This study will evaluate how the crown's shape under the gums will influence the gum tissue around dental implants.
Study aimed at evaluating the impact on oral health of the "Ley del Paquete de Salud Bucal" (daily school brushing program) combined, or not, with the application of fluoride varnish in schoolchildren from 6 to 8 years old who attend public elementary schools in Mérida, Mexico. with a two-year follow-up (2023-2025).
This 6-month clinical study was designed to investigate clinical efficacy on plaque and gingivitis for the Meridol Base Mouthwash containing 0.2% zinc lactate, 0.17% amine fluoride and 0.0275% sodium fluoride as compared to a Negative Control Mouthwash containing 0.057% sodium fluoride after 3 and 6 months of product use.
There is a relationship between depression and periodontal disease. This relationship may be double-sided. A psychological state such as anxiety, depression, body image, and self-esteem may be affected from the symptoms of periodontal disease.
Background To evaluate the efficacy of two alcohol-free antimicrobial mouthrinses in reducing plaque and gingivitis compared to an alcohol-containing rinse and toothbrushing alone. Methods 160 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the parallel-design examiner-blind study. After screening and stratification by sex and papillary bleeding index (PBI), participants were randomly and equally assigned to four groups: (1) toothbrushing + rinsing (0.06% CHX + 0.025% NaF, alcohol-containing rinse, Corsodyl® Daily Defence Mouthwash; positive control); (2) toothbrushing + rinsing (0.06% CHX + 0.025% NaF, alcohol-free experimental rinse); (3) toothbrushing + rinsing (0.06% CHX + 0.03% CPC + 0.025% NaF, alcohol-free experimental rinse); (4) toothbrushing alone (negative control). At baseline, Quigley-Hein plaque index (QHI), the modified proximal plaque index (MPPI), and PBI were recorded. All subjects were advised to brush their teeth as usual during the eight weeks study period. Additionally, groups 1-3 were instructed to rinse twice daily (30 sec. each). All participants used Dr. Best multi aktiv toothpaste and Dr. Best plus toothbrush (medium stiffness). Eight weeks after baseline, indices were recorded again. Anova with Bonferroni adjustment was used for statistical analysis.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate water flow in dental devices and to understand the function of water flow behind oral hygiene improvements. Understanding this mechanism may help with the design of future products.
In areas of the world where populations are undernourished poor oral health is prevalent. Diets rich in fruit and vegetables are thought to have many health benefits including reducing the risk of oral cancer or gum disease. In particular fruits such as strawberries contain many different compounds which may be responsible for these proposed health benefits. From this study, the researchers hope to gain information about how the tissues in the mouth absorb strawberry gummies in a population of habitually smoking and never smoking men and women. The researchers will measure inflammation hormones in your saliva and urine and the genes in your mouth and blood. Two different strawberry gummies will be tested in this study. The strawberry gummies were developed at OSU in the Department of Food Science and Technology. One type of strawberry gummy will contain freeze-dried whole strawberries while the other type will have no fruit. In total the eight pieces of strawberry gummies that you will consume in one day will be at most equal to 1 cup of whole strawberries. The research team believes the two strawberry gummies may be digested and absorbed differently and that components in the strawberry gummies may be helpful for oral health.
