Filter by:Since over 50% of the US population have gingivitis, mouthrinses serve as a valuable adjunct to brushing and flossing. The primary objective is to determine the effectiveness of the oral rinse in reducing plaque and gingivitis and improve a patient's breath
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the home-use device Silk'n toothbrush (ToothWave) for the improvement in dental health through the reduction of plaque, gingivitis, and calculus.
This study evaluates the interdental plaque removal efficacy, flossing speed, and reduction in gingival inflammation of a new flossing system (GumChucks®) compared to string floss, and to assess preference between the two flossing products in children, parents, and dentists.
This study objective is to test the Silk'n Toothwave self-selection, by potential end users. Additionally, this study will evaluate if contraindicated subjects will self-exclude from use of the device and the ability to understand accurately the labeling content (box and user manual).
The aim of this analysis was to compare the effects of oscillating-rotating (O-R), side-to-side (sonic), and manual toothbrushes on plaque and gingival health after multiple uses.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of brushing and flossing sequence in the control of dental plaque and gingival inflammation.
Dental caries is a polymicrobial infection originally thought to be caused by Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli. However, unprecedented developments in modern molecular techniques have demonstrated that several microbial species are associated with the disease in addition to streptococci and lactobacilli. Dental caries initiation and progression is a dynamic process in which demineralization of the tooth structure, as a result of acid production from acidogenic bacteria (due to carbohydrate metabolism) is being counteracted by the remineralization of the tooth surface by strong alkali production by certain bacteria in the dental biofilm. The aim of the present study is to identify the different microbiota in the oral biofilm using new laboratory techniques as well as the levels of salivary proteins in caries-free compared with caries active Arab children.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the home-use device Silk'n toothbrush (ToothWave) for the improvement in dental health through the reduction of plaque, gingivitis, and calculus.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using dissolving Xylitol chewable tablets versus xylitol chewing gum with bedridden geriatric patients in increasing salivary pH and decreasing bacterial count in both saliva and interdental plaque.
Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease caused by mainly bacterial, genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. Chronic periodontitis, one of the widely prevalent forms of periodontal disease, is characterized by loss of attachment apparatus of the tooth; it can lead to tooth loss. Many non surgical and surgical approaches have been adapted time and again to prevent, intercept, and to treat the various forms of chronic periodontitis. But, these treatment modalities are not approachable by all individuals, because of the various factors such as: low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, high cost of the treatment, no availability of easy and uncomplicated treatment nearby etc. Considering these factors, there are still a need of preventive, practical, and affordable treatment options specially for the population of underdeveloped and developing countries.
