Filter by:The aim of the study is to reveal the performance of the resin composite restorations after finishing the cavity walls and margins using bioactive glass air abrasion particles in comparison to the routine finishing with the finishing diamond stone according to the FDI criteria for post operative sensitivity, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, and retention.
Gingival recessions (GR) are often associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL), resulting, thus, in a combined defect. This mucogingival condition has a different treatment prognosis when compared with a GR without wearing surface associated and frequently requires a surgical-restorative approach to achieve better esthetics and functional results. A limited number of clinical studies assessed different multidisciplinary protocols for the management of single combined defects and there is evidence that the use of dental materials does not harm the periodontal tissues and does not influence the root coverage obtained by means of subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG). Although the association between coronally advanced flap (CAF) and CTG provides more predictable and stable outcomes in the long term, its use is related to some drawbacks. Different biomaterials have been developed to overcome these limitations as a possible alternative to autogenous graft. However, despite its potential, there is a lack of studies evaluating its use in treating this type of condition. Thus, this study aims to assess from a clinical and esthetics point of view and patient-centered outcomes, the use of a new collagen matrix (Geistlich Fibro-Gide®) associated with CAF for the management of single combined defects. For such purpose, 50 patients with single RT1 gingival recessions associated with NCCL will be enrolled and randomly allocated to one of the following groups: control group (n=25), partial restoration of cervical lesion and coronally advanced flap for root coverage (PR+CAF) and test group (n=25), partial restoration of cervical lesion and coronally advanced flap associated with volume stable collagen matrix (PR+CAF+VCMX). The two groups will be compared regarding the clinical parameters, among which bleeding on probing (BOP), biofilm accumulation (IP), clinical attachment level (CAL), recession reduction (RecRed), and the percentage of combined defect coverage (%CDC). Patient-reported outcomes such as post-surgery pain and discomfort, time to recover, the decrease of dentin hypersensitive, and aesthetics will be gathered. A professional assessment will be carried out regarding the aesthetic parameters. All these evaluations will be performed at the baseline and three and six months postoperatively.
The aim of the study is to clinically evaluate the efficacy of external stain removal of an activated charcoal based tooth paste versus calcium carbonate /perlite tooth paste. Additionally, to investigate enamel surface abrasion for both toothpastes in vitro.
The aim of the present study is to compare two different multidisciplinary protocols using two types of grafts, porcine acellular dermal matrix (Mucoderm®) versus connective tissue graft, both associated with modified coronally advanced flap, in the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesion partially (NCCL) restored by composite resin.
Non-carious cervical lesion is frequently associated with gingival recession, resulting in a combined lesion that has a different treatment prognosis when the two lesions appear alone. The literature presents few studies that propose a multidisciplinary approach (restorative and root coverage surgery procedures) to optimize the treatment of this combined lesion. The previously proposed approaches and materials have limitations and an optimal clinical protocol has not been established yet. Thus the aim of this study is to evaluate a novel multidisciplinary protocol with two resin composites and two different adhesive systems through a randomized clinical trial and laboratory studies. 120 combined lesions will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups: NP + TE (n = 30) - Partial restoration of cervical lesions with nanofilled composite and total-etch adhesive system and periodontal surgery for root coverage, NP + UA (n = 30) - partial restoration of cervical lesions with nanofilled composite and self-etching adhesive system and periodontal surgery for root coverage, MH + TE (n = 30) - partial restoration of cervical lesions with microhybrid composite and total-etch adhesive system and periodontal surgery for root coverage, MH + UA (n = 30) - partial restoration of cervical lesions with microhybrid composite and self-etching adhesive system and periodontal surgery for root coverage. Restorations will be assessed using the USPHS criteria after one week, six months and twelve months.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical, aesthetic and patient-centered parameters of connective tissue graft associated or not with partial resin composite (RC) for the treatment of gingival recession with NCCL, performed before the surgical procedure.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment of multiple gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) using a modified coronally advanced flap in combination with a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) on restored root surfaces. Methods: Twenty-three systemically healthy subjects, who were positive for the presence of three cervical lesions associated with gingival recessions in three different adjacent teeth, were enrolled in the study. The NCCL were each restored prior to surgery by using one of three different materials: composite resin (group 1), resin-modified glass ionomer cement (group 2) or giomer (group 3). The defects were treated with SCTG. Clinical measurements, including plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), relative recession height (rRH), probing depth (PD), cervical lesion height (CLH), relative clinical attachment level (rCAL), keratinized tissue height (KTH), keratinized tissue thickness (KTT), percentage of root coverage (RC), and percentage of cervical lesion height coverage (CLHC) were recorded at baseline, 3 and 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively.
The aim of this prospective clinical trial was to investigate the clinical performance and complication rate of RPDs (Removable partial dentures) retained on conventional conical double crowns in comparison to galvanoformed telscopic double crowns. Additionally the OHIP (Oral Health related Qualitiy of Life)and the abrasion of the teeth were investigated.
