Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine the local anesthetic efficacy and safety of 4% Articaine compared 2% Mepivicaine in 3 years old children, by using infiltration technique for primary teeth that required restorative, pulp therapy, or dental extraction procedure, as assessed by measuring the pain experience during injection and treatment procedures, child's behavior during the procedure, and postoperative complications.
Oral health problems in school children are highly prevalent in Nepal. The investigators designed oral health counseling and promotion intervention in Kaski district of Nepal for six months. The study was conducted intervention covering dental check up, counseling, supporting with brush materials, toothpaste, and essentials. The investigators also trained school teachers to provide oral health education in school children and completed the endline data collection to assess the effect of intervention.
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) can lead to many clinical conditions and affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).
In France, the improvement of dental care for children in general and even more so for children with special needs is a real public health issue. Indeed, children under 6 years of age, children with a fear that is difficult to control and who have failed to receive care, or children with disabilities, have difficulties in receiving care. Because of their medical wandering before effective therapeutic care, they are up to 4 times more likely to have a very degraded oral health condition involving avulsions rather than conservative care. Moreover, these complex situations often lead to the indication of dental care under conscious sedation with an equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (MEOPA) or even under general anesthesia (GA); hospital sedation by administration of midazolam is exceptionally proposed. As access to GA care is largely insufficient, solutions likely to improve the success rate of care and anxiolysis provided by MEOPA associated with cognitive-behavioral management must be considered. Among these, music has been shown to have variable neurophysiological effects (action on cardiac and respiratory rhythms and on blood pressure), depending on the style of music used. During dental care, a biological and psychological impact on emotion has been highlighted, although the few studies carried out in children in this particular context are not at a high level of proof. In children with special needs, the addition of music to MEOPA could therefore increase relaxation or distraction during dental care and improve the success rate of sedation by MEOPA. Validation of this hypothesis would limit the redirection of the young patient under GA and prevent the loss of opportunity associated with a further delay in care of several months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of a screening and linkage intervention for adverse social determinants of health (aSDoH) on oral health linkage to care for emergency department patients. Researchers will compare three groups: Patients in Arm A will receive paper handouts with general oral health and aSDoH resources. Patients in Arm B will receive paper handouts with geographically-proximate oral health and aSDoH resources. Patients in Arm C will receive geographically-proximate oral health and aSDoH resources plus active navigational assistance.
The study will involve a 10-week Micro-Randomized Trial (MRT) to inform the delivery of prompts (via mobile app push notifications) designed to facilitate adherence to an ideal tooth brushing protocol (2x2x4; 2 sessions daily, 2 minutes per session, all 4 quadrants).
Enamel development defects are the result of a set of environmental, systemic and genetic causal agents that reveal a multifactorial etiology model, which in anterior teeth produces a serious aesthetic problem, converted into a problem of visual perception. In hypomineralized enamel, light rays encounter multiple interfaces between organic and mineral fluids, with different refractive indices. At each interface, the light is deflected and reflected, producing an overexposed "optical labyrinth" that is perceived as a yellow, white, or brown stain. The term "infiltration" has been modified and developed commercially in Germany for the treatment of non-cavitated caries on smooth and proximal surfaces, in which the porosities of the enamel lesion are infiltrated with a low-viscosity resin, thus creating a barrier of diffusion, without the need for any type of additional material on the tooth surface. An added positive effect of infiltration with the queens is that the enamel lesions lose their whitish appearance when the microporosities are filled, mimicking the area of the lesion with the remaining healthy enamel. This effect is what has led clinicians to adapt this treatment for the management of enamel defects. Given the growing interest in the treatment of opacities in the anterior sector, due to the demanding contemporary aesthetic requirements, and the increased acceptance of minimally invasive therapies, the need has been seen to seek greater predictability for the treatment of defects. of conservative enamel from an early age and offer effective therapeutic alternatives.
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MatrixOssTM Bone Graft in bone defect repair caused by tooth extraction.
The current study (ORARAD II) will examine participants of the original cohort for a visit roughly 7 years after the start of RT. The primary outcomes will be the 7-year rate of dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss, osteoradionecrosis and salivary flow.
The overall purpose of this study is to establish an ultrasound technique to aid in oral and dental examination of soft and hard tissues. Ultrasound is currently not used in Dentistry and associated oral examinations and we are exploring its usefulness for clinical practice. This study will investigate the use of ultrasonic imaging for planning and placing dental implants, as well as evaluate the use of ultrasonic imaging for monitoring marginal bone loss around dental implants.
