Filter by:One of the main goals of pediatric dentistry is to preserve the functions and structures of primary teeth until the time of exfoliation. Especially carious lesions are the main factor in the early loss of primary teeth. Today, primary teeth can be kept in the mouth by applying different treatments depending on the degree of inflammation caused by carious lesions in the pulp tissue.Coronal pulpotomy application in asymptomatic primary teeth with deep carious lesions near the pulp is one of the most common methods to achieve the goal of retaining the tooth in place. The purpose of the pulpotomy technique is to remove the affected pulp tissue and maintain the normal function of the unaffected root pulp tissue until the tooth is naturally ready to exfoliate. Studies have shown that the degree of pulp inflammation and the materials used are effective in the success of this treatment. In studies evaluating pulpal inflammation, many biomarkers have been shown to play significant roles at different levels of inflammation. Recently, Presepsin has been studied as a biomarker for detecting bacterial infections. However, there is no study in the literature on the use of Presepsin as a biomarker in endodontic treatments. In our study, it is thought that Presepsin biomarker could be detected in cases of acute or chronic infection in pulp tissue and could be considered as one of the mediators of pulpal inflammation. Based on this, the aim of our study is to investigate whether the materials used in covering the pulp or the level of inflammation in the remaining pulp tissue is more important for the success of pulpotomy treatment. The inflammation level in the remaining pulp tissue will be measured using IL-6, IL-8, and Presepsin. Then, the one-year success of treatment in different groups where pulp tissue is randomly covered with MTA, NeoMTA, Biodentine, and Zinc oxide eugenol will be demonstrated. Thus, it will be evaluated whether materials previously found to be quite successful in other studies achieve success in pulps with high inflammation levels.
This study aimed to evaluate the use of computer added designning / computer added manufacturing (CAD/ CAM ) technology versus conventional relining procedure for treating ill-fitted loose maxillary complete denture and its effect on patient satisfaction, denture retention, and denture adaptation to oral tissues.
The aim of this study is to evaluate in vivo the post operative pain after laser root canal treatment in necrotic teeth in an evidence-based clinical trial. The null hypothesis being tested is that there is no difference in post operative pain between conventional irrigation and the two types of lasers used. Thirty patients are equally divided into 3 separate groups : - Group A (Conventional): 2.5% NaOCL and 17% EDTA. - Group B(Dual): saline along with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser combination - Group C(Combined): saline along with 17% EDTA and diode laser combination Each patient is given pain scale chart Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to record his/her pain level before any endodontic treatment. All data will be collected, tabulated, summarized, and statistically analyzed.
The goal of this observational is study is to develop a protocol for root canal biofilms disinfection using a clinically approved and commercially available iron oxide nanoparticle formulation Ferumoxytol/H2O2 treatments. This protocol will be testing local single topical application of Ferumoxytol within the root canal system in patients going through routine root canal treatment, evaluate its potential as anti-biofilm treatment and compare it to the clinical gold standard disinfecting solution sodium hypochlorite (positive control) and saline (negative control).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the dental lasers as an alternative of chemical medicaments used in the pulpotomy procedures. The main question it aims to answer is: • Lasers pulpotomies are a viable alternative to the standard Formocresol and Sodium Hypochlorite medicaments. All participants groups (Formocresol, Sodium Hypochlorite, Diode and Er:Cr;YSGG lasers) for pulpotomy procedure will follow the same clinical protocol, except for the techniques that will be used for hemostasis of the pulpotomies which either will be achieved by Formocresol or Sodium Hypochlorite solutions or by Diode or Erbium lasers.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical performance of composite veneers performed in two different ways, indirect and direct methods over a period of 6-year. 30 volunteer patients without systemic diseases and who applied to Ege University School of Dentistry for the esthetic restoration of their anterior diastema (gap) were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The closure of 102 diastema was randomly performed with prefabricated composite resin veneers (n=15; indirect method- Componeer, Coltène, Altstätten, Switzerland) or direct composite resin veneers (n=15; direct method- Essentia, GC, Japan). These restorations were clinically evaluated at baseline, 1-2-6-year by two experienced and blind examiners according to modified Ryge criteria (USPHS criteria). Color match, marginal discoloration, anatomic form, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, surface roughness, retention, and polishing retention were evaluated for that purpose. Statistical analysis was performed with McNemar and Chi-square tests (p<0.05).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performances of Edelweiss prefabricated veneers and direct resin composite restorations (Ceram-X Duo SphereTec) performed with U- veneer transparent templates used for anterior diastema closure and tooth reshaping over 3-year. The patient group consisted of individuals who applied for aesthetic complaints on their anterior teeth. 21 volunteer individuals without systemic disease were included in the study. Patients were randomly selected for each group. In Group 1; 38 teeth (10 patients) were restored with Edelweiss prefabricated veneers (Edelweiss Dentistry) in combination with Edelweiss nanohybrid resin composite (Edelweiss Dentistry) and Prime&Bond Universal (Dentsply Sirona) adhesive system. In Group 2; 36 teeth (11 patients) were restored with Ceram-X Duo SphereTec (Dentsply Sirona) resin composite in combination with U- veneer (Ultradent) transparent templates and Prime&Bond Universal adhesive systems. Properties of the restorations were evaluated at baseline, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months using Modified Ryge Criteria (USPHS Criteria). Data were evaluated using Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact tests (p=0.05).
Oral health problems in school children are highly prevalent in Nepal. The investigators designed oral health counseling and promotion intervention in Kaski district of Nepal for six months. The study was conducted intervention covering dental check up, counseling, supporting with brush materials, toothpaste, and essentials. The investigators also trained school teachers to provide oral health education in school children and completed the endline data collection to assess the effect of intervention.
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) can lead to many clinical conditions and affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).
Preserving primary teeth is essential for many aspects such as the child's growth and development, esthetic, functional, psychological, and dental arch integrity aspects. a randomized blinded controlled clinical trial aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of Zinc Oxide-Ozonated Olive Oil as root canal filling materials for primary molars compared to Zinc Oxide-Olive Oil & Zinc Oxide-eugenol. 90 primary molars of 30 children aged between 4-8 years with pulpally involved primary molars, are equally divided into 3 groups which treated with Zinc Oxide-Ozonated Olive Oil , zinc oxide -olive oil and zinc oxide eugenol as obturation materials following pulpectomy procedure. The subjects were followed up clinically and radiographically at 3, 6 and 12 months.
