There are about 248 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iraq. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This clinical trial compares the effectiveness of a myofunctional appliance that uses a clear and modified twin block appliance with an expander made from 2mm biocompatible polyethylene terephthalate modified with Glycol thermoplastic material with a conventional twin block appliance with an expander. The trial will be conducted on adolescent patients with class II division 1.
Aims of the study: 1. Assess the clinical and radiographical outcomes (success/failure) of root canal treatments performed after traditional vs conservative access cavities in permanent posterior teeth after one-year follow-up. 2. Assess the level of disinfection in root canals accessed by traditional vs conservative access cavities in permanent posterior teeth before obturation. Null hypothesis: 1. There is no difference in the clinical and radiographical outcomes of root canal treatments performed after traditional and conservative access cavities preparation in posterior teeth after one-year of follow-up.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the dental lasers as an alternative of chemical medicaments used in the pulpotomy procedures. The main question it aims to answer is: • Lasers pulpotomies are a viable alternative to the standard Formocresol and Sodium Hypochlorite medicaments. All participants groups (Formocresol, Sodium Hypochlorite, Diode and Er:Cr;YSGG lasers) for pulpotomy procedure will follow the same clinical protocol, except for the techniques that will be used for hemostasis of the pulpotomies which either will be achieved by Formocresol or Sodium Hypochlorite solutions or by Diode or Erbium lasers.
Periodontitis is a polymicrobial, inflammatory condition affecting tooth-supporting tissues. It is characterized by a progressive loss of epithelial attachment and resorption of alveolar bone, which can lead to tooth loss. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been proposed as a reversible process that shifts the cell phenotype from epithelial to mesenchymal-like and may be involved in the process of periodontal inflammation either completely or partially. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large class of regulatory transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides lacking evident protein-coding potential. Studies have shown that lncRNA dysregulation plays key roles in human diseases, including cancer, by modulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The involvement of lncRNAs markers in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease induced EMT has not been studied thoroughly and have created a gap in the knowledge.
This study is designed as a Prospective Randomized Clinical Trail, Evaluate the effect of osseodensification technique on primary stability in comparison to the conventional drilling technique in immediate single fresh extraction sockets.
This study Is designed as a prospective randomized, single-blinded clinical trial. To evaluate The anesthetic efficacy of articaine as a buccal Injection for maxillary premolar teeth extraction, compared to lidocaine as a buccal and palatal injection.
This study will be done to evaluate the impact of Biosmalto Impact Action Mousse™ on the development and healing of WSLs in individuals receiving orthodontic treatment. The control group received a fluoridated toothpaste (Colgate toothpaste). The intervention group received Curasept toothpaste and additionally at each visit a Curasept Biosmalto Mousse was applied on the facial surface of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth using a tray. For each patient recruited, identical toothbrushes and oral care instructions were given. The patients received instructions to brush their teeth for at least two minutes using an up-down motion on their anterior teeth and a circular motion on their posterior teeth at least three times/day.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of different residual orthodontic adhesive removing methods for rebonding debonded metal attachments.
Periodontitis (PD) is an inflammatory condition that affects 20%-50% of the total global population, with severe disease occurring in 9.8% of individuals. clinically characterized by clinical attachment loss (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) accompanied by increased probing pocket depth (PPD) and/or gingival recession, it may end with tooth loss if left untreated. non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) represents the first line of treatment and involves the physical debridement of subgingival plaque biofilms. "full-mouth debridement" (FMD) approach, its NSPT delivers complete debridement within 24 hr. However, full-mouth NSPT has been consistently shown to trigger a large systemic inflammatory response 24 hr following treatment. Nevertheless, Interestingly, a positive correlation between treatment time and the subsequent systemic inflammatory response has been reported. Given this previous link and the different features of each instrumentation technique including air-polishing devices (APDs), that have less time-consuming treatment, reduce patient discomfort and sensitivity, and only minor alterations to surrounding soft and hard tissues. This study aims to evaluate the systemic inflammatory response following full-mouth erythritol powder air polishing and instrumentation.
Periodontitis is an inflammation associated with destruction of the periodontium that ultimately, if not treated, leads to tooth loss. Clinically, it is characterized by clinical attachment loss (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) accompanied by increased probing pocket depth (PPD) and/or gingival recession. The standard periodontitis treatment aims to restore the homeostasis of the immune system by mechanically reducing the microbial load to levels that are compatible with stability and health. This is achieved by professional mechanical biofilm control and motivation of the patient for oral hygiene measures in order to control the biofilm and avoid disease recurrence. Conventional scaling and root planing (SRP), and air polishing therapy are tools used for professional biofilm control. More recently, air-polishing devices have become a promising alternative to conventional SRP in reducing the clinical time and causing less discomfort and pain for the patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of subgingival erythritol air polishing for initial periodontal pocket healing.
