Filter by:This research study delves into the effectiveness of bioactive and non-bioactive restorative systems in deep carious permanent molars treated with selective caries removal. Selective caries removal techniques aim to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while effectively eliminating carious tissue. The study investigates how the choice of restorative material influences the outcomes of selective caries removal procedures in deep carious lesions. By assessing factors such as restoration integrity, pulpal response, and long-term success rates, the research seeks to provide evidence-based insights into the comparative performance of bioactive and non-bioactive restorative systems in this clinical context.
In the study, Class II restorations will be performed with G-aenial Universal Injectable (GC/ Tokyo, Japan), Grandio Flow (VOCO/ Germany), and Clearfil Majesty Flow (Kuraray/ Japan) composites will evaluated. Restorations will be assessed according to modified USPHS criteria in 1st week, 6th months, and 12th months from the placement date. The Chi-square test will used for statistical analysis of the difference between the groups, and the Cochran Q test will used for the significance of the difference between time-dependent changes within each group (p<0.05).
This study aims to evaluate the one-year clinical performance of Class II restorations made with high-filling injectable and condensable universal composite resins. The study included 71 patients and 140 restorations. It used G-aenial Universal Injectable (GCI), G-aenial A'CHORD (GCA), Tetric Prime (TP), Filtek Ultimate (FU) composites, and the Clearfil SE Bond adhesive system. Restorations were evaluated and scored according to modified USPHS criteria at seven days, six months, and one year. Chi-square and Cochran Q tests were used for statistical analysis (p<0.05).
A Cross-Sectional Study aims to shed light on potential genetic determinants influencing dental caries susceptibility within this demographic and significantly understanding of genetic factors associated with dental caries, particularly within the context of the Egyptian population, providing valuable insights into the genetic aspects of oral health. The research methodology involved a comprehensive examination of these polymorphic loci ENAM, AMBN, TUFT1 and KLK4 and their prevalence, employing rigorous statistical analyses to establish potential correlations between these genetic variants and susceptibility to dental caries.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pregnancy on salivary pH, flow rate, caries experience and periodontal status. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does pregnancy affect caries experience and periodontal status? - Does pregnancy affect salivary pH and flow rate? - Is there a difference between pregnant and non-pregnant woman with respect to caries experience, periodontal status, salivary pH and flow rate? - Is there a difference among first, second and third trimester with respect to caries experience, periodontal status, salivary pH and flow rate?
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the clinical success of theracal pt, therabase, and biodentine indirect pulp capping on primary molars with deep dentin caries. Indirect pulp capping was used on the primary molars of the participants with deep dentin caries. It is aimed to compare the success of biodentine, which is considered the gold standard used in capping treatments, and the currently marketed Teracal PT and Therabase materials after 1, 6 months and 1 year, with biodentine and with each other, and find out which material is more successful.
- Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness in plaque removal of the new device; Dental floss holders and compare the results to the conventional way of flossing. - Methods: Thirty adult male and female participants participated in this randomized, single-use, single-blind clinical study. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups; Group A: Consists of 30 participants in whom Dental Floss Holders (DFH) was constructed to either maxillary or mandibular arch randomly. Group B: Consists of 30 participants in whom conventional flossing (CF) was done to the other arch. Participants attended the first visit for primary impression taking in order to construct the DFH. In the second visit, participants were examined by a blinded examiner to record their plaque index using O'Leary index. Then, they flossed using DFH and CF according to the group they were assigned to. Participants were monitored to ensure proper coverage of all the areas following precise instructions. They then brushed their teeth for approximately 2 minutes using modified bass technique. Next, plaque index was recorded again using the O'leary index. Time was recorded during flossing of each arch. Finally, participants were given a questionnaire to assess their satisfaction of the device. - Results: The differences between the groups showed the DFH group with a 62.8% reduction in whole mouth plaque and 63.3% for proximal plaque compared to 52.9% and 50.4% for the CF group, respectively (p = 0.01). The DFH was more time efficient in removing plaque from the marginal regions with an average time of 00:00:37 in comparison to the CF which averaged in 00:02:07 (p < 0.001). A total of 26 participants (86.7%) preferred using the DFH over the CF. - Conclusion: With the combination of toothbrushing, the Dental Floss Holders is significantly more effective and time efficient than conventional flossing in removing plaque from tooth surfaces.
The evolution of restorative dental materials and technology has enabled the use of tooth-colored restorative materials in dental restorations, with all dentists hoping for the presence of materials that combine biocompatible qualities and aesthetics . Although resin composite materials' mechanical and aesthetic properties have greatly improved over the past 20 years, research is currently on to find ways to prevent secondary caries from forming beneath and at the margins of restorations. In order to circumvent these problems, there is a growing tendency towards the use of resin-based bioactive and remineralizing restorative materials to strengthen and lengthen the lifespan of bonded dental restorations.
Prevalence of Dental Caries in a group of Egyptian children and its relation to TV and other screens time and sugar consumption (Observational cross-sectional study)
Dental caries is a multifactorial disease primarily caused by supragingival dental biofilm. Its progression is influenced by many environmental factors, which include smoking. Tobacco heating systems (THS) are a novel tobacco product whose effect on the microbiome of the supragingival dental biofilm has not yet been investigated. The aim of the proposed research is to determine and compare the composition of the microbiomes of the supragingival dental biofilm of THS smokers, cigarette smokers, and nonsmokers using the Next Generation Sequencing method and to assess and compare the risk of new caries lesion formation between the test groups using the Cariogram method. The results of this research will provide insight into changes in the microbiome of the supragingival dental biofilm resulting from exposure to aerosols from tobacco combustion and tobacco heating.
