Filter by:BACKGROUND A simple method for arresting dentin caries with a tight seal of the cavity would exclude the need for injection and excavation, reduce the risk for dental fear and possibly postpone or eliminate the need for further treatment. AIM The aim is to evaluate success-rate and children's subjective experience of resin-based sealing (RBS) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) for treatment of occlusal dentin caries in primary molars. DESIGN Children aged 2-9 years will be recruited to undergo RBS- or GIC-treatment treatment for occlusal dentin caries in primary molars. A parent will answer the Short Form of Children's Fear Survey (CFSS-DS; parental version). No excavation but etching with 38% phosphoric acid will precede RBS. Topical and local anaesthesia and excavation with high speed bur will precede GIC. Time for treatment will be estimated. The children will rank their experience of each treatment on a 7-grade face scale. The dentist will evaluate the child's experience, cooperation and the overall experience of the treatment on a four-grade scale. The treatment will be evaluated as "without remark" or "defective" after 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. For statistical analysis the Chi-2-test, Wilcoxon-Signed-Rank-test and Paired t-test will be used.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of heated in the clinical success of proximal high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations in primary molars. Material & Method: This randomized, split mouth, multicenter study was performed in four different centers including 88 patients aged between 5-7 years old. Selection criteria included clinically and/or radiographically detected proximal caries extending into the dentin tissue. A total of 250 primary molars were restored with a bulk fill GIC (Equia Forte, GC, Europe) and randomly allocated to one of the following groups: 1) non-heated (n = 125) and 2) heated (n = 125). LED light (GC- D-Light DUO, Tokyo Japan) was used at standard mode 1200 mW/cm2, at 50-60 ºC, for 60 sec for heat application. All restorations were clinically evaluated using modified USPHS criteria at the baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Chi-square test, Fisher's Exact Chi-square test, Continuity (Yates) correction, Fisher Freeman Halton test and Mc Nemar test were used to compare qualitative data with descriptive statistical methods (frequency). Kaplan Meier and Life Tables were used for survival analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Despite numerous techniques for enamel protection, occlusal caries still remains a problem. Sealing pits and fissures is considered to be an effective way of preventing caries development. Glass-ionomer cements are mainly recommended for pits and fissures sealing for two reasons. First, they are less susceptible to moisture which allows their use in noncooperable children or in partially erupted teeth where isolation could be a problem, and secondly, due to their potential to act as a fluoride reservoir making enamel more resistant to demineralisation. The purpose of the study is to clinically examine the caries-preventive effect of a glass-ionomer material for fissure protection in newly erupted permanent molars in children with low, moderate, and high caries-risk.
Eruption of the first permanent molar is the earliest in our oral cavity, leading to a high occurrence of dental caries in its pits and fissures. Early prevention of pit and fissure caries in this tooth is therefore of great importance for the preservation of a healthy dentition in one's life long time. It has been shown that sealing the occlusal surface with pit and fissure sealant is a highly effective method to prevent pit and fissure caries. It has also been shown that the performance of sealing pits and fissures by glass ionomer materia l (the high viscosity, classification type 2 GIC material) using finger press method used in the atraumatic restoration method is as significant as that of using the traditional resin sealant material and technique. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness performance of the two sealing materials in the prevention of pits and fissures caries in young permanent molars of schoolchildren in a dental public health program to be held in primary schools. The findings will provide valuable information for decision making on the election of proper material and method for use in dental public program, especially for child population in the rural or social-economically deprived areas.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to compare caries prevention of a conventional resin-based sealant and a glass-ionomer sealant placed on occlusal pits and fissures over a one year period in a high caries children group. Additionally the concentration of Fluoride in saliva was evaluated.
