Filter by:The objective of this cross - sectional observational study will be to evaluate the oral conditions of indigenous people in the state of Roraima, comparing habits and hygiene conditions in each ethnicity evaluated. This project was submitted to the Coordination of the Yanomami Indigenous Special Sanitary District, the CONDISI presidency and the CASAI leadership. Around 200 indigenous people from the aforementioned ethnic groups, of both sexes, aged between 18 and 75 years, will be evaluated
Preformed metal crowns (PMCs) have high success rates in restoring primary molars in children but they were not generally used by dentists, especially in developing countries due to its demand of high clinical skills with the conventional technique (CT). The biological approach, Hall technique (HT), requires less training and can be placed by less experienced dental operators including therapists. Previous studies were mainly carried out in developed countries. The aims were to investigate and compare the efficacies and cost-effectiveness of PMCs placed by these two techniques.
This study is conducted to determine if using a mouthwash containing propolis, clove oil and chlorhexidine will improve the caries risk of high risk patients in comparison to using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine only.
This study evaluated and compared the efficacy of no caries removal and sealing with a well-adapted and crimped stainless steel crown verses selective caries removal upto soft dentin and upto firm dentin in healing and/or preventing progression of moderate to deep occlusal dentinal caries.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare partial pulpotomy treatments with Biodentine®, calcium hydroxide (CH) and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in cariously exposed asymptomatic young permanent teeth clinically and radiographically for 1 year and evaluate root developments with Image J Software Program. The null hypothesis of this study is Biodentine® will promote healing with high success rates and induce root development more than CH and MTA.
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Er:YAG pulse therapy for achieving pulpal analgesia in pediatric patients and to quantify the duration and extent of any effects assessed. Design: a randomized split-mouth study with two-way repeated measures design.
Adhesive restorative materials are routinely used in operative dentistry to improve tooth tissues with minimal preparation, achieve more esthetic and long term restorations. Despite these efficacy to dentistry these materials still present some drawbacks like polymerization shrinkage. Postoperative sensitivity, marginal discoloration and possibly secondary caries are often associated with loss of marginal integrity in composite restorations occurred as a result of polymerization shrinkage. To achieve optimal long term performance, the requirements will be first to manage polymerization stress buildup following restoration.Low-shrinking composites with new formulas have been successful in brilliantly further developing the leader product els extra low shrinkage. The objective of this controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical performance of restorative material ELS versus ELS Extra resin composite for Class I and Class II cavities that needs to be restored in permanent teeth.
This is a randomized clinical trial to test the efficacy of a parent-targeted text message-based intervention program on caries incidence and oral health behaviors (child and parent). Parents (n= 850) across all pediatric clinic sites (Boston Medical Center and Community Health Centers (CHCs); DotHouse CHC, South End Community Health Center, and Codman Square CHC) will be randomized to receive either text messages (TMs) regarding oral health or TMs regarding child wellness. The study will enroll English and Spanish speaking parents and their youngest child who is < 7 years old, has at least one tooth showing, and attends the targeted pediatric clinic to receive primary care (n= 1700). Parents will complete self-report surveys at baseline, and 2, 4, 12, and 24-months after baseline; receive and respond to TM assessments during the 4-month intervention; and will also receive TMs during a 'booster' period of one month, which will occur 12-months post baseline. Parent's children will be assessed for caries by a clinical oral examination performed by licensed Clinical Examiners at baseline, 12-and-24-months post-baseline.
To minimize the effects of polymerization shrinkage in the restorative treatment, there are new composites called Bulk- Fill which the companies has developed this composites for example Tetric N Ceram(Ivoclar-Vivadent) and Filtek ( 3M ESPE). Its decreased polymerization shrinkage and properties allow the material to be inserted in one layer being quickly than traditional composite. This clinical study is designed to compare the clinical performance of the bulk fill composite resin in Class I (one-surface posterior), II (two-surface posterior) and V (cervical-surface posterior) fillings.
Objective: To assess which is the most efficient pulpotomy medicament on tooth survival in patients with a cariously-exposed vital young permanent molar regarding: absence of postoperative pain, sinus or swelling, internal/ external root resorption, periapical radiolucency), root maturation and decrease chair side time of treated patient. Trial design Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT), double-blinded with parallel group and allocation ratio (1:1), equivalence framework.
