Filter by:The process of dental caries is dynamic and can be either reversible or irreversible depending on the balance between protective and pathologic factors in the oral cavity. Untreated dental caries causes pulpal injury, inflammation, and necrosis. Melatonin plays an essential role in the regulation of bone growth. The actions that melatonin exerts on odontoblasts may be similar to its action on osteoblasts.
Dental caries is a worldwide condition characterized by localized destruction of dental hard tissue by acidic by-products from bacterial fermentation of dietary carbohydrates . Dental caries is considered to be the single most common chronic childhood disease, and its prevalence is thought to have increased recently.
Dental caries, a widespread oral health issue, results from a complex interplay of factors including behavior, hygiene, diet, and socio-demographic aspects. While preventive measures are available, it remains prevalent globally, affecting numerous teeth per individual. Improved oral hygiene practices and increased awareness have led to a reduction in caries prevalence. However, rising sugar consumption exceeds dietary guidelines, contributing to the problem. Despite limited epidemiological studies in Egypt, addressing individual-level factors is crucial. Surveillance of oral health in the early middle age group is standard, allowing decision-makers to assess the impact of caries and oral health care provision. Stratifying data by age, geography, and gender aids in understanding prevalence and planning effective prevention strategies. Overall, promoting awareness of dietary habits and preventive practices is vital for improving oral health outcome So, The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of dental caries among early middle age patients attending dental hospital in Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo university and to analyze the related risk factors utilizing WHO Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults.
The purpose of this research study is to test the effectiveness of two different crowns/caps on teeth for restoration of primary anterior teeth. The two different materials of crowns are esthetic crowns with retentive grooves and without retentive crowns. These crowns are placed on the teeth to restore function, esthetics and prevent further caries and infection.
The purpose of this research study is to test the effectiveness of two different crowns/caps on teeth for restoration of primary molar teeth. The two different materials of crowns are resin polymer and stainless steel crowns. These crowns are placed on the teeth to restore function and prevent further caries and infection.
This study aims to assess the comparative effectiveness of the Hall technique (HT) and the conventional technique (CT) for placing Stainless Steel Crowns (SSCs) in primary molars with approximal caries.
This research proposal is introduced to clinically test short fiber reinforced flowable resin composite material (everX Flow, GC Europe) as a supporting base under CAD/CAM resin composite endocrowns due to gap of knowledge present in this area.
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 62 patients and 147 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. GCI only in premolar teeth; GCA, TP, and FU have been used to restore premolar and molar teeth. 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).
