Filter by: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.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) study of L-arginine after exaggerated oral use of the novel dentifrice product COL101 after repeated daily applications in healthy adult subjects.
Background: Maintaining biosafety in dental practice requires an efficient elimination of aerosols produced during dental treatment. The objective of this research was to assess the quantity of aerosols and aerobic bacteria present in the air during the treatment of caries. Methods: This study was divided into two groups based on the caries treatment method involving 60 patients with 60 m olar teeth (n=60) in the mandible. Group 1 (n=30) received a conventional dental turbine W&H Synea TA-98LC (W&H, Bürmoos, Austria), while Group 2 (n=30) received an Er:YAG laser (LightWalker, Fotona, Slovenia). Measurements of aerosol particles between 0.3 - 10.0 μm near the operator's mouth were taken using the PC200 laser particle counter (Trotec GmbH, Schwerin, Germany). The number of aerobic bacteria in the air was determined using 60 micro-biological plates with a microbiological medium (Columbia Agar with 5% Sheep Blood) and the sedimentation method. A control group G3 was established to measure the initial aero-sol level and the initial total number of bacteria CFUs (colony-forming units) before each treatment.
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of an intraoral scanner with near-infrared imaging (NIRI) for the diagnosis of proximal caries.
he study was designed as a double-blind three-parallel-group randomized controlled trial, in which the evaluators and a researcher, not involved in the evaluation process, was responsible for the randomization process, were masked to the group assignment. The study will be carried out at 2 schools of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires where school programs are developed by the Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry of the University of Buenos Aires, and that present homogeneous characteristics in terms of social risk. The children (n=244) attending those primary schools will be the population object of the trial. Clinical examinations Each child will go under a clinical examination to determine dental status according to the ICDAS II criteria (Pitts, 2005) and the Caries Treatment Need Index (CTNI). Intervention Children will be divided into three different groups according to the mode of treatment: - NaF varnish group (NaFV) Professional application of 5% NaF varnish twice a year pH 7 (ClinPro White Varnish®) according to manufacturer's instructions. - APF in tray Group (APFt) Professional application of APF 1.23% twice a year pH 3.5 (Klepp®) with tray according to manufacturer's instructions - APF in toothbrush group (APFtbru) Professional application of APF 1.23% twice a year pH 3.5 (Klepp®) with toothbrush 2 minutes brushing according to manufacturer's instructions. Dental examination and Monitoring Observations and clinical examinations will be conducted at schools. After 12 and 24 months, the clinical examination will be repeated to assess the dental status of schoolchildren following the same criteria described. The presence of new caries lesions will be taken as a dependent variable. So sound surfaces on baseline will be observed for 24 months.
this clinical study will be carried out to evaluate the effect of fluoride varnish with silver nanoparticles in comparison to silver diamine fluoride in management of deep carious lesions.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of a lay health advisor (LHA) intervention on immigrant children's caries and preventive behaviors.This randomized controlled trial included mother-child pairs in the intervention group (IG) and a brochure-only control group (CG), respectively. The IG received a four-week one-on-one session by an LHA on caries-related knowledge and brushing techniques. Baseline and follow-up surveys were used to collect the data in caries experience and maternal caries preventive behavior.
Aim: A study was made of the prevalence, co-occurrence and association among caries, nutritional habits and peri-implant disease, with an analysis of the influence of other patient and implant factors upon peri-implant disease. Material and methods: The included subjects underwent a clinical examination and were asked to complete a questionnaire. Demographic data and potential lifestyle/behavioral variables were collected. Clinical and radiographic assessment allowed calculation of the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index and peri-implant diagnosis. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify predictors of peri-implant disease.
This is an investigator initiated randomized double-blind pilot study at the UCSF Pediatric Dental Clinics to compare effectiveness of a new toothpaste Livionex Dental Gel with a standard children's toothpaste containing 1500 ppm fluoride in reducing dental plaque and caries in healthy and well children every 3 months for up to 12 months.
The study is a randomized clinical trial that assesses the clinical success and the antibacterial effect on carious dentine of glass ionomer when modified with Chitosan and/or Titanium dioxide nano particles vs the control group of modification with Chlorhexidine as control when used in primary molars
