Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the levels of interleukin 10, interleukin 6, interleukin 32 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in saliva of children with early childhood caries.
In the current study, MOST approach is proposed, to engineer an oral health behavior modification intervention, to increase the engagement of mothers in brushing their pre-school children's teeth.
This study will compare two non- invasive treatment options: Hall technique and 38% Silver diamine fluoride. Both are methods used to create a more favorable environment without removal of caries leading to the arrest of the progression of demineralization process and restoring the function of the diseased molars.
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.

It has been recognized that oral health education for parents is critical for the prevention of early childhood caries (ECC). Few parents practiced caries prevention procedures for their children in daily life, though. Inspired by Health Belief Model (HBM) and using text messaging as a vehicle, a novel intervention scheme will be developed in this study. The objective of the present randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to investigate the effectiveness of the HBM-based behavioral intervention using text message to reduce early childhood caries of children at age 4 through promoting the parental oral health care behaviors (toothbrushing and sugar intake control) for their young children compared to conventional oral health education. This RCT will recruit child-parent dyads in 26-36 child help centers or kindergartens with nursery classes located in Hong Kong. A total of 518-628 dyads will be recruited and randomly allocated into the test or control group with a 1:1 ratio. For parents in the test group, the intervention will consist of a set of HBM-based text messages sent regularly in the following 48 weeks. A standard text message will be sent to the parents in the control group. The primary outcome will be dental caries measured by dmft/dmfs of the children at 4 years old. By HBM-based intervention via a low-cost text messaging vehicle, it should be able to help the parents establish proper oral health behaviors for their children and safeguard the oral health of children in Hong Kong.
To determine the optimal application time of silver diamine fluoride (38% SDF) in arresting dental caries in the primary teeth of preschool children.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a bundled best practices oral health intervention utilizing motivational interviewing versus a didactic maternal and child healthy lifestyle intervention will reduce childrens' decayed, missing and/or filled primary tooth surfaces (dmfs) measured over a 2-3 year period.
The study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the biannual application of 38% silver diamine fluoride in arresting early childhood caries when compared to atraumatic restorative treatment.
The purpose of this study was to characterize the supragingival plaque microbiome in children with early childhood caries and identify potential microorganisms associated with caries.
