Filter by:The objective of this research is to evaluate the oral modifications caused by different types of coke drinks (regular coke and diet coke). The salivary and the dental biofilm pH will be determined in the first minutes after their consumption. Additionally, the bacterial proliferation of dental biofilm will be evaluated.
This early-stage research is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in chronic periodontitis patients. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the device might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
This study is designed to investigate the effectiveness of plaque control intervention by home-use dual-light aPDT Lumoral -device as an adjunctive or alternative treatment to triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) mouth rinse or other topical corticosteroid treatment on the symptoms and clinical appearance of symptomatic gingival involvement of oral lichen planus (OLP).
This study will evaluate the use of Livionex Dental Gel (LDG) as a home care product in reducing probing pocket depth (PD) beyond the effect achieved by the current standard of care with SRP in periodontitis patients.
The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of manual and electric toothbrush on dental plaque removal by using various intraoral imaging systems. Thirty healthy individuals using the same type of toothbrush for at least 2 years participated in the study. 12 teeth of each individual, including upper and lower anteriors, were examined. Group 1 including volunteers who used to use manual toothbrushes (MT) started to use an electric toothbrush (ET) and Group 2 including volunteers who used to use an ET and started to use a MT for 1 month with the same daily brushing routines. Following the clinical intraoral examination, plaque (PI) and gingival index (GI) measurements were performed 5 hours after brushing. The GI was evaluated through Sillness&Löe Gingival Index. The PI was evaluated according to Quigley and Hein's Plaque Index criteria and was scored clinically on visual inspection and digital imaging systems including FluoreCam, DSLR Camera, D-Light Pro, Smile Lite MDP, iTero Element Flex. The data was evaluated under p<0.005 significant level.
Maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential in the prevention of oral as well as general illness. The use of herbal medicine in dentistry is growing exponentially over the years. Today, herbal medicine is considered an effective alternative to manufactured medication. The objective of this current randomized control study is to assess the anti-plaque efficiency of Miswak (Salvadora Persica) and Eucalyptus toothpaste in the treatment of gingivitis. Materials and Methods: This randomized experimental study enrolled 30 healthy individuals as controls and 30 individuals with mild to moderate gingivitis. The study lasted 20 days and included a two-week washout period between Miswak and Eucalyptus toothpaste. The gingival and plaque index were measured at specific time intervals during the research period.
This early-stage study is designed to determine the efficacy of the CE-approved, antibacterial, dual-light Lumoral method in periodontitis patients. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the device might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the inhibitory effect on plaque and the tooth discoloration associated with agents used in the chemical plaque control of oil pulling in comparison with chlorhexidine-containing mouthwash and water in a four-day plaque regrowth model. One hundred dentistry students were included in this randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical study. In this study, participants were divided into 5 equal groups: Group 1: Gargling with 0.2% chlorhexidine; Group 2: Oil pulling with coconut oil; Group 3: Oil pulling with black cumin oil; Group 4: Oil pulling with terebinth oil; Group 4: Gargling with distilled water. Participants were instructed to refrain from mechanical oral hygiene and rinse only with the allocated mouth rinse during the four-day period. The differences in plaque index, gingival index, and tooth discoloration were evaluated in the study.
To assess the prevalence of black tooth stains and their relation with caries experience in the primary dentition of 3-5-year-old children.
The rationale of our study is to compare the efficacy of natural honey base preparation with other commercially available mouthwashes i.e chlorhexidine base in prevention of dental plaque formation as honey is readily available and cost effective and organic in nature. This study will help to provide the data of our community and positive result may provide a new method of oral hygiene maintenance with fewer side effects. We will be able to deliver the best anti-plaque agent.
