Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a eugenol-based product in improving the quality of toothbrushing and relieving areas of gingival discomfort. This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, examiner-blind clinical trial.
This 4-week clinical study was designed to examine the antibacterial efficacy of brushing with a 0.454% stannous fluoride toothpaste with potassium nitrate and pyrophosphate compared to a toothpaste containing 0.76% MFP (marketed as Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste) in different regions of the mouth (dental plaque, tongue, cheek, gum surface and in saliva) 12 hours post-brushing (overnight) after 2 and 4 weeks of product use.
This randomized controlled trial will be conducted on 40 orthodontic patients at the Department of Orthodontics, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia. Respondents will be randomly allocated into 4 groups (n=10). The first group will receive photodynamic therapy, the second tricalcium phosphate varnish with 5% NaF (sodium fluoride), the third 1% chlorhexidine varnish, while the fourth group will be the negative control. Before and after the mentioned interventions, the participants will have the amount of plaque measured using the plaque index and the bacteriological composition of the plaque assessed using the mass spectrometry and PCR. The gingival condition will be assessed using the gingival index. Also, the occurrence of white spot lesions will be evaluated on intraoral photographs.
The 6-month clinical study was designed to investigate clinical efficacy on plaque and gingivitis for the stannous fluoride containing toothpaste (SNAP) compared to Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste after 3 and 6 months of product use.
Control groups will be formed in the 2-12 age group using standard manual toothbrushes, and the effectiveness of 360-degree bristle toothbrushes will be compared. Study design: Experimental study
To evaluate and compare the plaque removal efficacy of a battery-powered toothbrush and a manual toothbrush following a single brushing.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the water jet in removing dental plaque around the orthodontic braces in adolescents.
Orthodontic treatment is an elective procedure to improve the patient's dentofacial appearance. The complex design of fixed appliances provides a platform that leads to increased plaque accumulation around orthodontic brackets. So, the risk to develop demineralization area adjacent to orthodontic brackets is a major barrier in achieving this goal. Oral hygiene is greatly complicated following the placement of fixed orthodontic Appliances. Molar tube in place are considered for nearly all patients experiencing fixed orthodontic therapy over the whole treatment period, which normally lasts 1.5 to 2 years. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the application and antimicrobial efficacy of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles coating on orthodontic molar tube material has not been integrated clinically. White spot lesions during orthodontic treatment have a documented etiology. Briefly, the accumulation of plaque and food around brackets, bands, wires, and other attachments caused decreased pH and increased S. mutans colonization, which led to the possibility of clinical demineralization. The aims of study are to assess the antimicrobial effect of nanoparticle coated stainless steel orthodontic molar tube material (OMT) with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in relative to uncoated orthodontic molar tube (UOMT) against the streptococcus. mutans& lactobacllius bacteria that cause white spot lesion around the fixed orthodontic appliance. .
The Aim of this independent, parallel, twelve-week clinical study is to assess the efficacy of a commercially available oxygenated mouth rinse and mouth foam on both plaque level and gingival status in addition to assessing the oral health related quality of life.
This early-stage study is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in periimplantitis. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the device might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues, thus impacting osseointegration.
