Cervitec, a chlorhexidine based varnished has been proven to reduce caries risk in younger populations. This study wants to investigate if the use of this product would reduce the risk of losing abutment teeth on patients that are wearing partial dentures as the literature has proven that these teeth are more prone to caries and periodontal disease. The primary objectives of this research project are to: 1. Assess if the topical application of CHX/thymol varnish every three months on partial denture abutment teeth results in a clinicallu significant decrease in any loss of attachment compared to no application, and 2. Assess if the topical application of CHX/thymol vanirhs every three months on partial denture abutment teeth results in a clinically significant decrease in carious lesion development or progression compared to no application. The secondary objectives of this research project are to: 1. Assess of the topical application of CHX/thymol varnish every three months on partial denture abutment teeth compared to no application results in a clinically significant difference in: 1. Bleeding on probing (BoP). 2. Plaque formation. 3. Periodontal pocket depths. 4. Microbial composition and GCF cytokine profile of the sub gingival environment. 5. The patients self perception of oral health.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a new hydrophilic sealant (Ultraseal XT Hydro) compared to the previously existing hydrophobic sealant materials (Ultraseal XT Plus) which requires prime and dry to dry the tooth surface.
