Filter by:The study's aim was to investigate if a motivational interviewing intervention (MI) improved oral self-care behaviors of AIAN caregivers of infants and determine if the MI intervention promoted positive changes in caregivers' ECC risk-related behaviors.
Objectives: to assess the efficiency of three methods of enamel remineralization on initial approximal caries: 1. a nano-hydroxyapatite gel, 2. gaseous ozone therapy 3. combination of a nano-hydroxyapatite gel and ozone. Materials and Methods: Patients (n=92, age 20-30y) with initial approximal enamel lesions on premolar and molar teeth (n=546) randomly allocated to three groups subjected to a 6-months treatment: Group I: domestic nano-hydroxyapatite remineralizing gel, group II: in-office ozone therapy, group III: both remineralizing gel and ozone therapy. Caries lesions assessed on bitewing radiographs at baseline, after 1 year and after 2 years.
Neglect insidiously affects a child's overall health in all aspects. The aim of this study was to determine whether the presence of siblings caused dental neglect, and whether there was a relationship between dental neglect and anxiety.
The LENTO study sample includes the caregivers and their clients living in eastern Finland. The aims of this study are 1. to study the nutritional status, oral health, coping, functional capacity and quality of life 2. to find out how individual nutrition and oral health counseling received for caregivers affect on the nutritional status and oral health of caregivers and their clients 3. develop an operating model to maintain good nutrition and oral health.
This study is comparing the effectiveness of two different dental crown fillings (resin crowns and zirconia crowns) for primary front teeth (incisors). Both dental crown fillings are currently used by community pediatric dentists. Resin crowns are currently the standard treatment for primary incisors at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Zirconia crowns are not presently used at SickKids. It is unknown if one type of crown is better than the other type. If the zirconia crowns produce similar or better results in fixing the primary front teeth, then the zirconia crowns may become the new standard of care at SickKids.
Background There is little information regarding the longevity of the restored tooth, considering the health of the pulp-dentine complex, in children who do not sufficiently cooperate with dental treatment. Aim To evaluate the longevity of primary molar teeth with an occluso-proximal cavity that was treated with the selective removal of carious tissue. Design A total of 150 children were allocated to two parallel groups: group 1 (G1, n = 70, control, Ketac Molar Easymix®, 3M/ESPE, Seefeld, GE) and group 2 (G2, n = 80, test, Maxxion®, FGM, Joinville, BR). The study was double-blinded, and an operator specialized in paediatric dentistry performed the selective removal of soft dentine and the restoration of the cavity with GIC. During the follow-up periods, the teeth were evaluated via periapical radiography by two trained examiners specialized in radiology. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 11.2 software (StataCorp, Texas, USA) and a survival curve (Kaplan-Meier).
This research aimed to evaluate the risk of dental fluorosis by using an experimental fluoridated acidulated dentifrice compared to conventional dentifrices in two-to-four-year-old children residing in a non fluoridated area by the concentration of fluoride incorporated in childrens' nails, as well as the incorporation of F into the biofilm. Two hundred and ten children participated on this study. They were randomly allocated into three groups differing according to the type of dentifrice used over 12 months: G1:1100 ppm F, pH 4.5; G2:750 ppm F, pH 4.5; G3:1100 ppm F, pH 7.0. The dentifrice was placed on the toothbrush using the "drop" technique. The toenails of the biggest toe were collected in three moments, corresponding to the experimental period of use of the dentifrices (T1, T2 and T3), as well as the biofilm which was collected twice, 5 and 60 minutes after brushing. The nails and biofilm fluoride concentration were analyzed on a specific electrode using the HMDS diffusion facilitated technique.
This project aims to evaluate the relative efficacy of a peer-led intervention based on the Social Cognitive Theory and Health Belief Model versus the control (only pamphlet delivery) on increasing the prevalence of healthy oral behaviors and oral health status among adolescents in Hong Kong. A two-arm non-blinded randomized controlled trial will be conducted among random samples of adolescents enrolling in secondary schools in Hong Kong. In addition to a baseline survey, two follow-up evaluative surveys will be conducted at months 6 and 12. Survey questionnaires will be conducted to participants at three time points (baseline, 6-, 12-month follow-up). Dental check-up examinations will be evaluated at two time points (baseline, 6-month follow-up). Repeated measures will be used to record participants' background, oral behaviors, theory based cognition, and potential confounders. Validated scales will be used. DMFT, plaque index and CPI index will be used to assess the oral health status of participants.
The objective of this in situ clinical study is to determine whether a toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite microclusters is as effective as a fluoridated kid's toothpaste in promoting remineralization of early caries lesions and inhibiting the development of caries lesions.
The aim of this bi-center study was to evaluate the retention and caries-preventive effect of Atraumatioc Restorative Treatment (ART) sealants, using two glass ionomer cement (GIC) versus non-sealant on first permanent molars of schoolchildren. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the retention rates of the two GIC, as well as in caries prevention between sealants application and non-sealant. Four hundred and thirty-seven 6-to-8-year-old schoolchildren were selected in two cities in Brazil. They were randomly divided into two groups, according to the GIC used (Fuji IX or Maxxion). All children had their four first permanent molars included in the research and two molars were sealed with a GIC, while the other two molars remained unsealed. Clinical evaluations were performed up to 36 months by one independent examiner at each city.
