Filter by: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 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).
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)
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.
