Filter by:This research proposal is introduced to clinically test short fiber reinforced glass ionomer material from GC Europe due to gap of knowledge present in this area. It is characterized by higher flexural strength compared to resin modified glass ionomer (RMGIC). Additionally, the short fibers provided effective toughening of the RMGIC matrix by a fiber bridging mechanism.
The authors conducted a case series to determine the outcomes of treatment of root surface caries lesions when the teeth were treated topically with 38% silver diamine fluoride.
Crown lengthening surgery is done when a tooth needs to be fixed with a crown. Sometimes, not enough of the tooth sticks out above the gum to support a crown. This can happen when a tooth breaks off at the gum line, or when a crown or filling falls out of a tooth and there is decay underneath. To place a crown, the dentist needs to expose more of the tooth. This is done by removing some gum tissue or bone. After surgery, the area will heal in about three months. Then, making a crown can begin. This healing period often delays the delivery a final crown. This study is investing a way to make the final impression at the surgery to expedite the delivery of a final crown.
This study aims to test the effectiveness in reducing or arresting root caries lesion in community-dwelling elderly subjects by using high fluoridated toothpaste. A double blinded RCT will be conducted with two arms; 5000 ppm F and 1450 ppm F toothpaste. Dentifrices will be delivered to the participants in a blind format and they will be instructed to brush twice per day. Follow-up will be carries out every 6 months for two years to assess: - Root caries incidence. - Lesion arresting - Changes in salivary flow - Microbiology pattern shift - Variations in oral health- related quality of life by OHIP-14 Sp
