Filter by: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 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).
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.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of CBD candy versus sugar free candy on reducing the number of bacteria causing tooth decay, in adults The main question is to see whether CBD have any effect on reducing the number of Streptococcus mutans, in the oral cavity the main bacteria causing tooth decay. Participants will be randomly placed in a group, and assigned to take either CBD-infused lozenge (if in the experimental group) or a sugar-free candy (if in the control group) once a day for 15 days. A sample of saliva will be collected and analyzed in a lab before and after consumption of the candy to see whether either product could reduce the harmful bacteria in the mouth.
Local anesthetic injection is considered one of the most annoying dental procedures. The use of topical anesthesia is considered a routine procedure in the dental clinic especially for children. However, the taste and application procedure of the topical gel may not be pleasant for all children. The introduction of the Buzzy device is considered a distraction measure in the medical field. Alanazi et al., 2019, studied the effect of using the Buzzy device with cold and vibration compared to the conventional infiltration technique using 30-gauge needle. They concluded that the use of the Buzzy device resulted in better patients' acceptance and significantly lower Wong-Baker scores. Ballard et al., 2019, mentioned in their systematic review the efficacy of the Buzzy device for pain management during needle-related procedures, they concluded that the use of the device may be promising. Ghaderi et al., 2013, evaluated the effect of cooling the injection site on pain perception before infiltration of local anesthetics. They found that cooling the injection site before infiltration of local anesthetics in the buccal mucosa for 1 min, reduced pain perceived by pediatric patients.
This triple-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted at the department of Operative dentistry. A total of 60 participants were recruited and were randomly distributed into two groups A and B. After informed consent, restorative treatment was performed. In group A, adhesive with nanoparticles was used for composite restoration while in group B, adhesive without nanoparticles was utilized. Post-operative sensitivity was recorded using VAS score.
