Filter by:The investigators aim will be to compare the diagnostic performance of clinical visual examination (ICDAS II), intraoral/bite wing radiography (BW), near infrared light transillumination (NIR-LT), and laser fluorescence (LF), in comparison to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) for the detection of non-cavitated occlusal enamel and dentin caries in third molar teeth. Potential participants will be consecutively recruited.

Background: Ladakh is a region administered by India, covering an area slightly larger than Croatia; it is part of the larger region of Kashmir and Jammu. Till now, oral health data on population living in Ladakh are not available. The aim of the present preventive project will be to record the caries prevalence of schoolchildren living in Ladakh and to implement a school-based xylitol program using chewing gums in order to reduce caries incidence. Methods: The protocol of the Caries Prevention Xylitol in Children (CaPreXCh) trial is designed as a triple-blind randomized, controlled, parallel-group clinical trial in children aged 5-14 years. The study will be carried out from August 2021 to August 2024 in Zanskar Valley (Ladakh). Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: subjects who will receive a 100% xylitol chewing gum, and those who will receive a 22% xylitol gum. The subjects will be instructed to chew a total of 6 pellets for 5 min divided into 3 intakes a day (2 in the morning, 2 after the midday meal and 2 in the afternoon) for one school-year. Clinical examination will comprise an oral examination: caries index (ICDAS scores), bleeding on probing recording and evaluation of plaque pH fluctuation after sucrose challenge and will be performed at baseline (t0) and repeated 12 months at the end of the chewing-gum administration period (t1) as interim examination, after 12 months (t2) and 24 months (t3) after the end of the experimental period (chewing gum use). The primary outcome will be the caries increment measured both at enamel and dentinal level. Data analysis will be conducted through Kaplan-Meyer graphs to evaluate caries increment as primary outcome, and the methods will be compared to each other with Cox regression with shared frailty. The net caries increment for initial, moderate and severe caries level, using ICDAS (Δ-initial, Δ-moderate and Δ-severe), will be calculated. Discussion: This is the first clinical trial to assess the effect of chewing gum containing only xylitol as sweeteners for caries prevention. Moreover, the children object of this study is a population with special living conditions.
Effect of CPP-ACP pastes with/without Fluoride on White spot lesion progression, salivary pH and fluoride release in high caries risk Patients, over 3 month period using VistaCam, Digital pH meter and Selective ion electrode.
This study will be conducted to compare the diagnostic predictive values of a light induced fluorescence camera and Caries detection dye versus visual assessment method in identification of occlusal carious lesion.
This study is designed to clinically evaluate the retention and development of caries when using self-priming (Embrace wetbond) and conventional flowable composite (Clinpro) as pit and fissure sealant in young first permanent molars.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether there was an association between obesity and periodontitis, tendency to caries and periapical lesions. People who have a higher body mass index produce cytokines (hormone-like proteins), that lead to systemic/chronic inflammation (like periodontitis and periapical lesions), and obesity related dietary habits could result in an increment of dental caries because both the amount and the frequency of sucrose ingestion are important factors associated with the aetiology of the oral disease.
There is a simple laboratory technique for localization of caries associated bacteria on tooth surfaces by taking an impression of the teeth with a material containing sucrose. The purpose of this study is to check whether the technique can be incorporated into dental clinics as diagnostic tool comparing to other diagnostic methods available.
