Filter by:To evaluate immediate implant placement feasibility and esthetic outcomes in severely damaged sockets that received simultaneously bone reconstruction (cortical bone shield) and implant placement versus intact sockets that needed no reconstruction and had immediate implant placement.
This study is conducted to assess the clinical effectiveness of 10% Dimethyl Sulfoxide in OT Primer prior to two step etch and rinse dental adhesive on the durability of composite restoration.
The investigators are studying the use of a new medical device developed at Nationwide Children's. This technology has been licensed and produced by Zotarix LLC, a medical device company. It is designed to aid in retraction and provide protection of the lips during surgery. The investigators are not recording any of your identifiable personal health information except for the surgery date. This device, called the LabraGuard is a sterile, soft medical grade silicone, and no alternative device with these exact protective properties exists, and the investigators are trying to learn more about how it performs in different age children.
Bulk Fill" (RBF) composite resins (RC) has been on the market, with the main advantage of being applied in a single layer, faster and easier than a conventional RC. Repair of RC restorations is a validated treatment option in dentistry, which has been shown to increase the longevity of restorations by minimizing tooth damage such as complete replacement. Currently there are no clinical studies that support the actual performance of RBF repair
In this work, the investigators study the application of artificial intelligence systems on dental panoramic images for dental findings. An artificial intelligence system will be learned on an publicly available panoramic image dataset, and test against the investigators' local patient cohort as external test data. The investigators hypothesize the performance would be similar, if not identical to on the public data, and that the investigators' AI system is generalizable.
At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of children had their dental care interrupted or postponed, generating a pent-up demand for primary care. In order to minimize the impact of this outage of face-to-face care, information and communication technologies could be an alternative and even likely to be envisioned within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). In this sense, this study sought to show the impact of the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the resolution of the pent-up demand for primary dental care to children in the SUS, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, proposing the use of telemonitoring, teleorientation and telescreening to resolve and address demands arising from this outage in primary elective care. The impact of the use of these strategies will be measured in terms of problem-solving, reduction of waiting time to resolve complaints and caregivers' perception about received care. For this, two clinical studies were designed and a primarily trial-based economic evaluation was planned. Mathematical models will be used to transpose these results into the reality of the SUS, in view of the State Health Secretariat of São Paulo and different Brazilian scenarios. Finally, the investigators also aim to study the possibility of implementing these technologies mentioned in the daily life of the SUS, even after a pandemic, and to check the possibility of incorporating and costing them, as well as exploring possible social impact and relationship with possible inequities in health.
Prospective single arm study was to evaluate the clinical success and/ or failure of resin-bonded composite coronal build-up retained by macro-retentive grooves for restoring mutilated primary maxillary incisors after 36 months. Design: Forty two primary incisors out of 14 children, aged 2-5years, treated in a private pediatric dental practice under general anesthesia and presented for follow-up after 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months included in the study. The parameters recorded at the baseline and at the follow-up intervals were: retention, colour match, the number and location of the decayed surfaces (recurrent caries), chipping /fracture of the restoration and loss of restoration (failure). Materials and Methods: A total of (14) pediatric patients aged from 2-5 years presented with mutilated primary anterior teeth due to caries or trauma and treated comprehensively under general anesthesia from June 2016 to June 2017 were enrolled in this study. A total of (42) decayed or traumatized primary anterior teeth were treated with composite coronal build-up based on the micro-mechanical adhesive procedure of composite resin in addition to macro mechanical retentive grooves created on the lateral sides of the cervical one third of the roots of treated teeth. The patients returned at the end of 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months and received clinical examinations. Another dentist (co-author) who did not attend the treatment evaluated the strip crowns clinically by modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria.
Current radiologic imaging modalities used in dentistry provide information on the morphology of the hard tissues. Additional information on the density of bone has practical relevance, for example, in dental implant treatment planning, where local bone quality is a known strong predictor of successful implant osseointegration. The Dual-Energy Cone Beam Computed Tomography (DE-CBCT) device is designed to overcome limitations of traditional imaging and will provide assessment of jaw bone density in additional to morphological information. This clinical trial will examine the application of DE-CBCT to assess jaw bone density and compare Hounsfield units (HU) values with multidetector CT, an established standard for assessing BD.
Investigation of bacterial adhesion and bactericide effect ex vivo on different implant restoration materials
The aim of this study is assessment of parental attitude toward children dental treatment and care during Covid 19- crisis
