Filter by:Retrospective, observational cohort study. Objectives : To search for correlations between socio-economical deprivation and oral health in french children of 9 years of age. To study the annual use of oral and dental care of children from 6 to 9 years of age depending on their geographical and socio-economical environment, and the medical demography ; To identify and study the share of the cohort not using oral and dental care, and the socio-economical and geographical factors implicated in this non-use of care. The study will use data from the french nationwide healthcare systems database (SNDS) and data from the french national institute of statistics and economic studies (INSEE).
The interest in partial coverage retainers such as inlays and onlays have increased drastically because these restorations are able to provide a more conservative option requiring minimal tissue removal thus preserving healthy tooth structure to a maximum extent. If patient rejects an implant treatment and enough sound tooth structure is available it would be desirable to restore a missing tooth with Inlay-Retained Fixed Partial Denture instead of full coverage retained one . The use of all-ceramic materials for inlays and onlays in restorative dentistry is becoming more popular , the proper selection of restorative materials, careful preparation design and adequate adhesion between tooth/restorative material interfaces considered important factor to prevent failures . Zirconia was introduced into dentistry in the 1990s.The high initial strength and fracture toughness of zirconia results from a physical property of partially stabilized zirconia known as transformation toughening. On the other hand, its white color, similar to the color of natural teeth and its ability to transmit light makes it useful in aesthetically important areas . Inlay Fixed Partial Denture restoration may have increased the risk of fracture due to the relative small size of restorations compared to the complete coverage restoration. An unfavorable distribution of stresses between the ceramic inlay and tooth structure may result in marginal deterioration around the inlay or its failure. The direction of forces on the occlusal surface of Inlay Fixed Partial Denture may lead to the phenomenon of submargination, ceramic fracture, wear at interface and postoperative hypersensitivity which remain a problem that require further investigation. One of the most important factors in the success and longevity of a restoration is to have an accurate marginal fit. Ideally, the cemented restoration should precisely meet the finish line of the prepared tooth. In reality, clinical perfection is challenging to achieve and to verify.
The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the increase of soft tissue thickness around single implants installed in maxillary esthetic area with the use of Leucocyte-Platelet rich Fibrin (L-PRF) membranes. The sample is of 42 individuals, where the control group (n = 21) will receive single implant placement only, while the test group will receive single implant placement with L-PRF membranes.
The purpose of this study is to clinically, radiographically and histologically evaluate the healing sequence of post-extraction sockets grafted with Bio-Oss Collagen® at 3, 6 and 9 months following tooth extraction in single-rooted tooth sites. Subjects with single rooted teeth planned for extraction and replacement with endosseous dental implants will be recruited for the study based on the eligibility criteria and will be divided in three groups (Groups 1, 2 and 3).A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan will be obtained and reviewed to prepare for the surgical approach and evaluate the ridge dimensions, the tooth planned for extraction as well as the adjacent sites. After tooth extraction, the socket will be grafted with Bio-Oss Collagen® and, depending on the morphology of the extraction sockets, a collagen matrix (Mucograft® seal) and/or a restorable collagen membrane (BioGide®)will be placed to cover and stabilize the graft. Patients will return at 2 and 6 weeks post-extraction to evaluate the healing. A second CBCT will be obtained 2 weeks prior to implant placement to evaluate the ridge dimensions and compare them to the baseline data. Implant placement will take place at 12, 24 and 36 after tooth extraction for Groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively. A bone core biopsy will be obtained at the time of implant placement and will be sent for histological analysis. Patients will return for a post-operative visit at two weeks. Clinical indices (probing depth, recession, bleeding upon probing, keratinized mucosa height, plaque and gingival index), patient reported outcomes and marginal bone levels via standardized periapical radiographs will be evaluated and recorded at baseline (no more than 30 days following delivery of final implant restoration) 1, 2 and 3 years post-loading.
This study follows subjects who have agreed with their dentist that their failing teeth or missing teeth all need replacing. This study follows their standard routine care with some additional assessments. The dental treatment option that replaces a whole arch or both arches (upper and lower jaws) of the mouth is call "Teeth in a Day" and information on the use of the JUVORA™ Dental Disc during this treatment is what is being collected as part of this study along with subjects follow-up care.
Patients who have severe crowding that require four premolars extraction will be treated in this study. The efficacy of the clear aligners and vestibular fixed appliances will be assessed. The treatment result of these two different methods will be explored using the Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) in two different times (T0: Before treatment, T1: After treatment) and the American Board of Orthodontics Objective Grading System (ABO-OGS) after treatment (T1). There are two groups: First group (Experimental): the patients in this group will be treated using clear aligners. Second group (Control): the patients in this group will be treated using fixed appliances.
In implant dentistry, platform switching is a method used to preserve alveolar bone levels around dental implants. The concept refers to using an implant with slopped shoulder neck of narrower diameter on implants of wider diameter, rather than placing abutments of similar diameter, referred to as platform matching.The aim of the study is to compare the effect of bone-level implants versus the conventional implant on oral soft tissues.
Comparison of the clinical healing of simultaneous vs. delayed grafting for dental implant placement.
This study aims to evaluate the levels of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors in peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) during healing and osseointegration at osteotomy sites prepared either with piezosurgery (PS) or drills (D). Fourteen patients having bilateral partial edentulism in the posterior maxilla were enrolled and 38 osteotomies were prepared. Implants were placed with one-stage surgery. Insertion torque, early healing index, probing depth and modified gingival and plaque indices and crestal bone (CB) loss were measured. PISF was collected from 4 sites from each implant at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24. PISF samples were analysed by a 30-Plex immunoassay. Effect of time and osteotomy method on molecules employed Brunner-Langer method.
Tooth loss impact on daily living, mood and self-perceived well-being. However, psychological impact of teeth loss has not been evaluated. Present study aims to evaluate the psychological conditions of patients pending complete tooth extraction before and shortly after tooth loss using Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD) and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI).
