Filter by:This study will compare the post sedation events from three different multi-drug oral sedation regimens in order to help pediatric dentists determine the best course of action for their patients and prepare parents appropriately and caution them about the expected effects. Patients will be evaluated for adverse effects within two time periods at 8 and 24 hours post oral sedation procedure using surveys.
Funded by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services - Medicaid Technical Assistance and Policy Program (MEDTAPP), the "Child Health Excellence Center - a University-Practice-Public Partnership" (CHEC-UPPP) focuses on improving the health of Ohio's children in 3 target areas: 1) prevention of dental decay; 2) detection and management of overweight and obesity; and 3) lead screening. These topics represent critical public health issues for Ohio's children. The study is based on strong evidence that interventions are needed to improve practice in the target areas and that achieving these goals represents fundamental improvements in child health care that would reduce morbidity and costs. The approach for the study involves a trained Practice Facilitator (PF) working with multiple pediatric and family medicine practices to create change tailored to individual practice preferences and methods of operation. Our overall hypothesis is that a university-community consortium, utilizing evidence-based methods (involving education plus a facilitated, practice-tailored approach) will increase the rates of targeted services in primary care practices.
Severe dental decay affects children physically, emotionally, socially and thereby impacts on their quality of life. Evidence from developed countries showed that children with severe dental decay weighed less than their peers and following dental treatment children's growth and quality of life improved. This suggests that treatment of severe dental decay may enhance growth and wellbeing. A study was carried out in Saudi to test that hypothesis.
The propouse of this study is to evaluate some combined preventive measures, of easy application in children under 6 years old as education, brush teeth, fluoride free tooth paste,fluoridated tooth paste, professional cleaning and fluoride varnish application, to determine between three groups of differents combined preventive measures, wich one is better in reduting dental caries appearance. Hypothesis: 1. Ho: Dental caries reduction percentage is larger or equal in the group with only prevention education and Professional cleaning, than in the groups intercepted with fluoride varnish or fluoride toothpaste. 2. Ha: Dental caries reduction percentage is less in the group with only prevention education and Professional cleaning, than in the groups intercepted with fluoride varnish or fluoride toothpaste.
