Filter by:Dental caries, a widespread oral health issue, results from a complex interplay of factors including behavior, hygiene, diet, and socio-demographic aspects. While preventive measures are available, it remains prevalent globally, affecting numerous teeth per individual. Improved oral hygiene practices and increased awareness have led to a reduction in caries prevalence. However, rising sugar consumption exceeds dietary guidelines, contributing to the problem. Despite limited epidemiological studies in Egypt, addressing individual-level factors is crucial. Surveillance of oral health in the early middle age group is standard, allowing decision-makers to assess the impact of caries and oral health care provision. Stratifying data by age, geography, and gender aids in understanding prevalence and planning effective prevention strategies. Overall, promoting awareness of dietary habits and preventive practices is vital for improving oral health outcome So, The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of dental caries among early middle age patients attending dental hospital in Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo university and to analyze the related risk factors utilizing WHO Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults.
The evolution of restorative dental materials and technology has enabled the use of tooth-colored restorative materials in dental restorations, with all dentists hoping for the presence of materials that combine biocompatible qualities and aesthetics . Although resin composite materials' mechanical and aesthetic properties have greatly improved over the past 20 years, research is currently on to find ways to prevent secondary caries from forming beneath and at the margins of restorations. In order to circumvent these problems, there is a growing tendency towards the use of resin-based bioactive and remineralizing restorative materials to strengthen and lengthen the lifespan of bonded dental restorations.
One of the long-term side effects of head and neck radiotherapy (RT) is radiation-induced tooth decay. Hyposalivation, associated with radiation therapy, further increases caries susceptibility and caries progression, due to the lack of salivary protective effects and of tooth minerals useful for remineralization processes, especially calcium phosphate (CaP). Dental extractions that could be required in case of severe tooth decay expose the patient to the risk of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws (i.e. the necrosis of the bone tissue following a local trauma, including surgical trauma). This protocol aims at verifying the effectiveness of CaP mousse in the prevention of carious lesions, added to topical fluoride. A randomized controlled clinical trial will be performed comparing CaP + fluoride treatment versus no treatment in head and neck cancer patients, who received radiotherapy. The hypothesis is that CaP, which is lacking in the mouth of these patients due to hyposalivation, can combine with fluoride to promote remineralization, reducing the risk of carious lesions.
This triple-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted at the department of Operative dentistry. A total of 60 participants were recruited and were randomly distributed into two groups A and B. After informed consent, restorative treatment was performed. In group A, adhesive with nanoparticles was used for composite restoration while in group B, adhesive without nanoparticles was utilized. Post-operative sensitivity was recorded using VAS score.
Compromised first permanent molars (FPM), whether diagnosed with severe molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), irreversible pulpities, or necrosis, require frequent re-treatment consequently entering the restorative cycle, which leads to their inevitable extraction and implant placement. Extraction of compromised first permanent molars in 8-10-year-old children allows the mesial migration of the second permanent molars during their eruption, thereby favoring spontaneous space closure as a permanent solution.
The goal of this clinical trial comparatively investigate the clinical performances of 3 different tooth-colored restorative materials in the treatment of Class II cavities after 6 months and one year.
Purpose of research: Evaluation and comparison of 24-month clinical performance of injectable and conventional resin composites in class I cavities.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) study of L-arginine after exaggerated oral use of the novel dentifrice product COL101 after repeated daily applications in healthy adult subjects.
The research question was that in patients with carious posterior permanent teeth, would the electrical impedance device be as valid as digital radiography in estimation of remaining dentin thickness? The proposed hypothesis was null.
The primary aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of the novel LumiCare™ rinse and with QLF in determining caries progression. The secondary aim is to compare the progression of carious lesions between patients who reported use of e-cigarettes/vapes and those who did not.
