Filter by:Objectives: To reduce the microbial level in the aerosol created during dental procedures is essential in avoiding infections. The aim of this study was to examine the change of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and the total bacterial load in human saliva in vivo after a single rinse with different mouthwashes. Material and methods: One mL unstimulated saliva was collected from volunteers with poor oral hygiene at baseline and 5 min after a one-min rinsing with Solumium Oral® (hyper-pure 0.0015% chlorine dioxide; ClO2), Listerine Total Care®, Corsodyl® (0.2% chlorhexidine-digluconate; CHX), or BioGate Si*CLEAN for bacterial investigation. In a second study volunteers rinsed with 0.003% ClO2 or CHX for one-min and saliva was collected at baseline, after 5 and 90 min. After plating the total plate and S. mutans colony numbers were determined.
Dental caries is one of the most prevalent non-communicable disease. However, despite its prevalence there is no consensus on how much caries to remove prior to placing a restoration to achieve optimal outcomes. Evidence for selective compared to complete nonselective excavation suggests there may be benefit for selective removal in sustaining tooth vitality while histological studies reveal that the remaining dentine is actually infected and may cause loss of vitality in long term. The aim of this study is to randomly compare selective to non-elective excavation methods in carious mature permanent teeth with symptoms of reversible pulpitis
The aim of the study is to clinically evaluate the retention and caries formation of hydrophilic fissure sealants among adolescents after one year.

CAD-CAM crowns made of lithium disilicate are placed in patients by using either a dual-curing adhesive or a self-adhesive luting material in combination with total etch/universal bonding agent.
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.
Caries is a biofilm-mediated global public health problem causing health, social and economic consequences for individuals, communities and countries. Treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances is associated with impaired oral hygiene. This results in a demineralization of the enamel (white spot lesions). The prevalence is fairly high (30-50%) among adolescents and self-applied fluorides cannot completely prevent such lesions. It is therefore important to investigate novel approaches to combat these unwanted adverse effects. A systematic review has suggested that mouthwashes may be suitable technology to control biofilm accumulation in orthodontic patients. The aim of the present pilot study is to evaluate the effect of a novel mouth rinse containing a blend of natural enzymes in addition to fluoride on the presence of oral biofilm in patients undergoing treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances.
Pilot study involving 20 patients undergoing dental treatment prior to radiation therapy. Comparison of outcome parameters to existing data of age and gender matched patients.
Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) will be used for detection of oral health related quality of life for children using strip composite crowns versus zirconium crowns at 6 and 12 months
A post market clinical follow up study (PMCF) with a glass ceramic to ensure the safety and efficacy of the product. It is a study with single-arm in which inlays and onlays for molars and premolars are adhesively luted.
