Filter by:Fluoride varnish is being applied on the teeth surfaces of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment just before receiving their clear aligners. The effect of the varnish was investigated if it can reduce the incidence of enamel demineralization or not.
Evaluate clinically the remineralizing potential of self-assembling peptide ( P11-4) fluoride plus in early enamel carious lesions of permanent anterior teeth.
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.
Objective: To assess color and fluorescence changes in white spot lesions (WSLs) using different surface conditioning methods prior to resin infiltration: 24-months follow-up Methods: Thirty patients with each at minimum four WSLs after bracket debonding were included. After baseline fluorescence and color measurements, the lesions were randomly divided into four groups (n = 30): G1 (control): regular brushing, G2: 15% HCl gel (Icon Etch), G3: 37% H3PO4 gel (Scotchbond Etchant), G4: Er:YAG laser (Fotona AT Fidelis III). The lesions were desiccated with Icon Dry and then Icon Infiltrant (DMG) was applied. In the treatment groups, color and fluorescence were examined at baseline (T0), just after the resin infiltration treatment (T1), and after 6 (T2) and 24 months (T3). In the control group, the examinations were performed at baseline (T0) and after 6 (T2) and 24 months (T3).
With our study, we aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between zonulin, which plays a crucial role in intestinal barrier function and is implicated in the etiopathogenesis of many chronic and autoimmune diseases, and scattered white spots lesions associated with lymphatic stasis and inflammation in the duodenum.
One of the most undesired side effects of fixed orthodontic treatment is white spot lesions (WSLs), that appear on the buccal surface of teeth and cause aesthetic problems. The aim of this prospective study was to quantitively evaluate the remineralization effect of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium fluorophosphate (CPP-ACFP) containing (MI Paste Plus®) and hydroxyapatite, xylitol and fluoride containing (Remin Pro®) agents in remineralizing post orthodontics white spots using Quantitive Light-Induced Fluorescence Method (QLF) and ICDAS II criteria, compared to a control group in whom just a routine home care was instructed. Thirty-nine individuals who had recently completed orthodontic treatment, had at least one WSL on upper anterior teeth and aged between 12-25 years were included. The participants were randomly assigned into three groups of 13 each; (1) MI Paste Plus + routine home care; (2) Remin Pro + routine home care; and (3) routine home care (control). The treatment/ observation period was 12 weeks after bracket debonding. Fluorescence loss (∆F, %), lesion area (LA, mm2), lesion volume (∆Q, % × mm2), maximum fluorescence loss (∆Fmax), ICDAS II criteria of WSLs were measured at beginning (T0) and 4 (T1), 8 (T2), and 12 (T3) weeks later. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the treatment effect of vitamin D supplementation and topical fluorides in the population having vitamin D deficiency and Initial Carious Lesions (ICL) on the progression of ICL in teeth. This study aims to observe the changes in the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) scores, the concentration of salivary proteins, and cariogenic microbes, six months after the interventions. - Group A will get vitamin D supplements and oral hygiene instructions (OHI). - Group B will get vitamin D supplements, topical fluorides, and OHI. - Group C (Control), the vitamin D sufficient group will get topical fluorides and OHI.
The study is designed as a split-mouth randomised controlled study. This means within the mouth of one patient one tooth with an initial lesion is treated and coated with the Experimental Remineralization product whereas another comparable tooth with an initial lesion is left untreated. Patients are included upon meeting the inclusion criteria as defined for this clinical trial. In the test group, a remineralization of the incipient carious lesion is expected. The patients are recalled after 1 day (optional), 4 weeks, 4 months and finally after 1 year to evaluate the untreated and treated lesion.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the remineralizing or preservative effect of two different fluoride-containing products. The main question aims to answer how the mineral content of the active white spot lesions change after the treatment with those two fluoride applications in a split-mouth design by measuring their mineral content via QLF technology. Each patient will receive both treatments in a split-mouth design. It is comparison between an experimental fluoride application and Fluoride Protector S.
The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a new treatment for demineralized white spot lesions (WSLs) after fixed appliance therapy. The trial will consist of four parallel groups: control, Fluoride Varnish (FV), Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP), and Resin Infiltration (RI) groups. Patients will be recruited from Riyadh Elm University's electronic record system and contacted by phone. They will be given an appointment to visit the dental clinic. A total of 22 patients with WSLs will be selected for the study. Two examiners will perform dental examinations using a dental mirror and a ball-ended probe to code the WSL against the ICDAS system. The level of agreement between the two examiners will be assessed using reliability analysis, with an agreement level of above 80% considered. Buccal WSLs will be defined as those that extend from the center of the buccal to either the mesial or distal surface. WSLs coded 3 or higher will be excluded from further examination and treated accordingly.
