Digital Subtraction Radiography Evaluation of SMART Restoration With Partial Caries Removal in Primary...
Dental Caries Extending Into DentineThe objective of this study was to analyze the radiographic density of digital subtraction radiographs after SMART restoration with partial caries removal in primary molars at 6 and 12 months.
High-strength Glass-ionomer Dental Restorations
Dental CariesThe purpose of this study is to extend our knowledge concerning the clinical performance of two dental filling materials in molars. The study will compare two high-strength glass-ionomer filling materials. The investigators hypothesize that after two years (1) the clinical performance of both filling materials shows a similar survival rate, (2) the ChemFil Rock fillings show similar or higher incidence of fracture than Fuji IX GP fillings.
A 24-month Clinical Evaluation of Different Bulk-fill Restorative Resins in Class II Restorations...
Dental CariesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of three different bulk-fill restorative resin materials; a bulk fill resin composite, a flowable bulk fill resin composite and a fiber-reinforced resin in Class II restorations over a period of 24 months.

Laser in Caries Treatment - Patients´View, Pulpal Reactions and Survival of Fillings
Dental CariesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the excavation time, patients´ experiences, pulpal reactions and survival of fillings when carious tissue was removed with Er:YAG laser compared to rotary bur. A prospective, single-blind, randomized and controlled investigation was performed. Patients with at least two primary caries lesions radiographically assessed as the same size were recruited. In each patient one cavity was excavated with rotary bur and one with Er:YAG laser technique. The time requested for excavation and local anaesthesia were measured. The prevalence of postoperative symptoms, pulpal vitality and the quality of fillings will be investigated during two years after the excavation occasion.
Effect of Pulpotomy Using TheraCal Versus MTA on Survival Rate of Cariously-Exposed Vital Permanent...
CariesDentalObjective: To assess which is the most efficient pulpotomy medicament on tooth survival in patients with a cariously-exposed vital young permanent molar regarding: absence of postoperative pain, sinus or swelling, internal/ external root resorption, periapical radiolucency), root maturation and decrease chair side time of treated patient. Trial design Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT), double-blinded with parallel group and allocation ratio (1:1), equivalence framework.
Selective Dentine Removal in Primary Teeth
CariesDentalBackground There is little information regarding the longevity of the restored tooth, considering the health of the pulp-dentine complex, in children who do not sufficiently cooperate with dental treatment. Aim To evaluate the longevity of primary molar teeth with an occluso-proximal cavity that was treated with the selective removal of carious tissue. Design A total of 150 children were allocated to two parallel groups: group 1 (G1, n = 70, control, Ketac Molar Easymix®, 3M/ESPE, Seefeld, GE) and group 2 (G2, n = 80, test, Maxxion®, FGM, Joinville, BR). The study was double-blinded, and an operator specialized in paediatric dentistry performed the selective removal of soft dentine and the restoration of the cavity with GIC. During the follow-up periods, the teeth were evaluated via periapical radiography by two trained examiners specialized in radiology. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 11.2 software (StataCorp, Texas, USA) and a survival curve (Kaplan-Meier).
Clinical Investigation of the F-Composite 2 System in Direct Filling Therapy
Dental CariesUnsatisfactory or Defective Restoration of ToothThe objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of F-Composite 2 system in Class I and Class II cavities in permanent teeth. The materials of the system can be polymerized in short time with a curing light which is part of the system. The study will be carried out as a prospective study, with evaluation of the restorations after 7-10 days (baseline), at 6 months, at 12 months, at 24 months and 60 months according to defined criteria.
