Filter by:The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the six months clinical performance of the self-adhesive bulk-fill composite with the conventional nano-hybrid composite in the cervical lesions of teeth in the esthetic zone. In addition, to evaluate patient's satisfaction towards the self-adhesive bulk-fill material and its total operatory time.
This research proposal is introduced to clinically test short fiber reinforced glass ionomer material from GC Europe due to gap of knowledge present in this area. It is characterized by higher flexural strength compared to resin modified glass ionomer (RMGIC). Additionally, the short fibers provided effective toughening of the RMGIC matrix by a fiber bridging mechanism.
The goal of this 36-month double-blind randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of 5% sodium fluoride varnish (22,600 ppm fluoride) with or without Strontium-doped bioactive glass (SBGC) on root caries development in community-dwelling older adults.
Management of cervical lesions presents serious problems with any restorative material. The two most common reasons for restoration failure are secondary caries at the tooth-restoration interface and loss of retention. Class V lesions often exhibit a low retentive cavity configuration (C-factor); which is responsible for marginal gaps around the restorations. Cervical margins -lying in either dentin or cementum- show unfavorable bonding performance, besides being usually subgingival where moisture control is difficult. The subgingival margin is not clinically desirable due to difficulty in cleaning and increased biofilm accumulation. Therefore, the selection of the restorative material can be challenging. Resin composites are known for their high mechanical properties, excellent esthetic properties, and ease of clinical application. However, when compared with glass ionomers, resin composite has no cariostatic effect on tooth structure. In addition, microleakage caused by polymerization shrinkage of resin composite leads to plaque accumulation and secondary caries. On the other hand, resin-modified glass ionomer has many advantages, yet still it has lower weakness and esthetic properties compared to resin composite. Based on current literature, there is limited evidence comparing clinical performance of low-shrinkage giomer resin composite to resin-modified glass ionomer in the treatment of cervical caries lesions. This study is conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of low-shrinkage giomer resin composite versus resin-modified glass ionomer in treatment of cervical caries lesions, using both Modified USPHS and Revised FDI criteria. This study will be designed to test the null hypothesis that the low-shrinkage giomer resin composite will have the same clinical performance as resin-modified glass ionomer in cervical restorations, using both Modified USPHS and Revised FDI criteria.
The aim of this study is to summarize the current level of evidence on the prevalence of root caries in elderly population, evaluate the prevalence of root caries in elderly patients living in Canton Bern, Switzerland and to analyze the association between the data collected with demographic and relevant socioeconomic factors, provide relevant long-term clinical, radiographic and oral health related outcomes and to establish a pivotal reference in treatment of elderly patients by means of non-operative root caries treatment.
The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the performance of the bioceramic glass ionomer compared to conventional high viscosity glass ionomer for restoration of carious cervical lesions in geriatric patients over 12 months follow up.
Guidelines proved that arresting and remineralization of the root surface caries is better than weakening the tooth structure and restoring it. Manufacturer claims that PRG Barrier Coat effectively treats dental hypersensitivity by providing immediate and long-lasting relief. Also has the effect of eliminating the activity and sur-vival of pathogenic bacteria and hardening the dentin tissue of the affected areas.
Keep brushing your teeth, twice a day, during life for healthy teeth and body. Not brushing your teeth regularly and well, may have a devastating effect on your teeth and your general health. The teeth could develop root caries resulting in pain, fractured teeth, tooth loss and trouble eating. Further, brushing your teeth insufficiently leads to higher number of bacteria in the oral cavity and could in frail individuals lead to aspirations pneumonias. With age, some of us will depend on daily care activities from others and help with daily toothbrushing. However, care dependent older adults often lack basic dental care (tooth brushing with fluoride tooth paste twice a day). Dental care at home is a service proved by dental personnel. Visits at a dental clinic decrease with age and especially with a dementia diagnosis. Dental care at home can deliver regular dental check-ups and dental treatments to individuals who experience difficulties attending a dental clinic. The effect of teeth cleaning performed at home on root caries development, has not yet been explored in care dependent older adults. Therefore, the aim is to study if the combination of high fluoride toothpaste used daily with teeth cleaning/ a reminder to use the toothpaste every third month, could be a method for preventing root caries development in this patient group. The hypothesis is that domiciliary professional cleaning will improve the oral health, as measured by root caries development, gingival bleeding, plaque accumulation and oral mucosal status, compared with a control group that receives oral care as usual.
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.
In geriatric patients, will the clinical performance of nano hydroxyapatite reinforced glass ionomer be better than conventional glass ionomer cement in treatment of root caries lesions over one year follow up?
