Filter by:The aim of the study is to identify adolescent patients that are at risk of developing oral diseases, and to assess if targeted preventive oral treatment with antibacterial dual-light therapy as an adjunctive treatment method can have a positive impact in preventing oral diseases from emerging.
The study aims to explore how dietary habits affect oral health in children with autism. By examining a cross-section of the autistic paediatric population, the research seeks to identify patterns or specific dietary preferences that may contribute to or mitigate oral health issues. This observational study does not intervene in participants' diets but observes existing habits and their oral health outcomes, aiming to provide insights that could guide better dietary recommendations and oral health practices for children with autism.
Aim of the study Assessing the effect of an oral health education program on knowledge, attitude, practice, and dental caries among a group of school children in a governmental school in Fayoum, Egypt.
Is zirconomer restorative material more effective than a glass ionomer cement in restoration of primary molars
Dental caries represents a challenge for Oral Health Services in several African Countries, like Uganda. Few studies have been reported the burden of oral health, its prevention and non-operative treatment among school children in African countries. Aim: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of dental caries and the effectiveness of strategies to prevent and treat dental caries using a non-operative approach among children in Gulu Municipality, Uganda. Methods: The proposal RCT is structured in three phases: 1. A descriptive cross-sectional survey to collect oral data among 610 school children selected using a multistage cluster sampling; 2. A randomized unblinded two-arm trial to assess the difference in the treatment/prevention of dental caries using non-operative means among school children in the Ugandian Gulu municipality; and 3. A comparison of oral health conditions between a group of children who will be given dental cleaning tools and followed up over time versus a control group. The oral health status of the participants will be assessed according to WHO and ICDAS guidelines. Stata 14.0. will be used for analysis; descriptive statistics will be carried out to analyze continuous and categorical variables and chi-square test as well as independent tests for bivariate analysis and modified poisson regression. In addition, the factors associated with dental caries will be determined by linear regression models using a statistical significance level of 5% (α = 0.05). Discussion: This trial will be the first trial conducted in Uganda assessing a school-based caries prevention programme using the WHO and ICDAS standardized international guidelines. The findings obtained will increase knowledge on oral health in Uganda school children and the effectiveness of community-based caries prevention programme in this population.
This study will be conducted to test the cariostatic effect of Nano Silver Fluoride in a comparison to Silver Diamine Fluoride in a group of preschool children.
This study proposes to conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT), composed of a sample of 194 deciduous central and lateral incisors with active cavitated lesions, simplified ICDAS C+ score, with involvement of more than two surfaces. This sample will be divided into two experimental groups, both with selective removal of carious tissue: a group in which conventional restoration will be performed using opaque resins; and another group with monochromatic resin with chameleon effect and polyvinyl crowns.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the local anesthetic efficacy and safety of 4% Articaine compared 2% Mepivicaine in 3 years old children, by using infiltration technique for primary teeth that required restorative, pulp therapy, or dental extraction procedure, as assessed by measuring the pain experience during injection and treatment procedures, child's behavior during the procedure, and postoperative complications.
To assess post operative pain and survival rate after collagen based pulpotomy versus MTA pulpotomy in children with vital primary molars.
Aim of the study: 1. Assess the correlation between salivary alkaline phosphatase levels and dental caries. 2. Assess the effect of growth of children on the levels of salivary alkaline phosphatase enzyme. 3. Assess the effect of growth of children on caries experience and severity.
