Filter by:In this study, half of the participants will be asked to floss as normal, while the other half will receive professional instructions on flossing from a dentist. The investigators want to see if the participants who have professional flossing instructions are able to remove plaque in between the teeth more effectively, and have less gum bleeding over time. The investigators also want to see if participants who receive professional flossing instructions get better at the technique over time, and if they can match the dentist's skill by the end of the study.
Ceramo metallic restoration has proved high success rate over past years as considered to be the gold standard while Monolithic zirconia as fixed dental prostheses have gained attention because of their good fracture strength, low wear of the enamel antagonist and pleasant color .Material composition will affect gingival health and biofilm formation which initiate caries and periodontal diseases.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of two finish line designs (feather edge and rounded shoulder) in relation with two occlusal designs (flat and planar) in endodontically treated teeth restored with zirconia crowns.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of brushing and flossing sequence in the control of dental plaque and gingival inflammation.
To evaluate the effect of probiotics supplied in two different forms (dairy products containing probiotics as yogurt and freeze-dried synthetic probiotics sachets) on improving gingival condition and caries potentiality of dental plaque in adolescents
Toothbrush plaque removal, along with interproximal flossing, helps to maintain the oral cavity free from periodontal diseases and dental caries. Although techniques such as the Bass Technique (BT), the Modified Bass Technique (MBT) and the Modified Stillman Technique (MST) are taught to dental students, dental hygiene students, and dental assistants, there is little evidence to discern which technique is more effective in reducing or preventing gingival inflammation. At Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (TUSDM), a modification of the Bass intrasulcular technique is advocated to many students. We call this modification of the Bass technique a Stationary Bristle Technique (SBT), which is an intrasulcular technique that maintains the toothbrush bristle ends essentially stationary on the tooth cervically and in the gingival crevice. In this study, half of the participants were taught the Stationary Bristle Technique Group, while the other half were not be provided with instructions, but asked to brush as normal (non-interventional group) throughout the duration of the study.
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of an investigational compound, BLXA4-ME, topically applied as a daily oral rinse in adults with gingivitis. Safety will be assessed by the incidence of adverse events, including mucosal inflammation and irritancy and findings from safety labs. Subjects will be monitored for development of periodontitis, and oral flora will be analyzed to detect an increase in opportunistic organisms. The secondary objective is to assess preliminary efficacy of the oral rinse, by monitoring changes in the plaque index (PI), modified gingival index (MGI), bleeding on probing (BOP) and levels of interleukin -1β (IL-1β) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). The study comprises three groups in a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial design. The treatment group (1.0 μM BLXA4-ME oral rinse) and the placebo rinse group will each include 50 subjects. The no-rinse control group will consist of 25 subjects. Subjects in the treatment and placebo rinse groups will receive oral rinse (BLXA4-ME or placebo) to be applied once daily after morning teeth brushing. Safety parameters will be assessed before and after 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of treatment. Efficacy parameters will be assessed before and after 14 and 28 days of treatment.
