Active clinical trials for "Dental Caries"

This study investigates how often cavities develop on the permanent teeth of patients with braces (orthodontic treatment). The hypothesis is that there is no difference in the number of cavities on the permanent teeth of patients with braces compared to similar patients without braces.

The purpose of this study is to assess the quality and expected lifespan of fillings recorded in the DPBRN "Reasons for replacement and repair of dental restorations" study, and the factors affecting how long the fillings last.

The purpose of this study was to document the reasons for placing the first restoration ("filling") on a previously un-restored surface in a permanent ("adult") tooth.

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) can lead to many clinical conditions and affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).

A comparative analysis of glass ionomer sealant placed on permanent molars with and without a rubber dam to assess the retention over a 2 year period.

Oral health has improved considerably in recent decades in Sweden, as well as in other countries. However, despite great improvements with regard to periodontal disease and dental caries in recent decades, global problems still persist, and as a consequence of retaining natural teeth high up in age, the risk for oral disease increases.

The fact that dental caries remains a major public health problem mandates that oral-health researchers explore new strategies for assessment of caries risk, as well as for caries prevention and management. Dental caries occurs when acids produced by bacterial glycolysis of dietary carbohydrates causes demineralization of the tooth enamel. A major focus of caries research has been on identifying and characterizing acid-generating bacteria and the mechanisms of acid resistance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the type of bacteria that grows in the mouth and on teeth.

This study is observational only and is intended to evaluate changes in the makeup and function of bacteria naturally present in the mouth during treatment with braces to straighten teeth.

The purpose of this study was to document the reasons for replacement or repair of defective restorations ("fillings") and to record the restorative material of the failed restoration and the material used in the replacement restoration on permanent ("adult") teeth.

66 Participants will be divided into three groups according to the tested regimen (A), where (A1) represents participants exposed to fluoride toothpaste, (A2) represents participants exposed to regimen including fluoride toothpaste and chlorhexidine mouthwash and (A3) represents participants exposed to regimen including fluoride toothpaste, chlorhexidine mouthwash and MI fluoride varnish. The study will be carried over a period of one year, assessment of cariogram will be done in two visits: first visit (baseline: T0) and second visit (after 3 months: T2). In addition assessment of DMF scores will be done in four visits: first visit (baseline: T0), second visit (after 3 months: T1), third visit (after 6 months: T2) and final visit (after 12 months: T3) to obtain the required data
