Active clinical trials for "Dental Caries"

The purpose of this study is to characterize basic PK parameters (Cmax, t1/2, AUC) in healthy children to contribute to evidence for the safety of Advantage Arrest, consistent with Guidance for Industry--Exposure--Response Relationships (April 2003).

The study aim is to characterize the kinetics of iodine and fluoride following topical application of a combined PVP-I and NaF anti-dental caries varnish in healthy adults.

This observational cohort study aims to evaluate the short-term (3 months) efficacy of the standard fluoride therapy in the German National Health System for managing hypersensitive carious lesions in primary teeth (fluoride varnish application), and further compare it to a different fluoride therapy utilizing a silver-containing fluoride agent combined with potassium iodide solution.

The aim of this study is to verify the quantitative and qualitative effect of Erbium dental laser therapy on microbial populations in carious lesions and to compare the laser therapy with traditional conservative therapies.

The study is a randomized clinical trial that assesses the clinical success and the antibacterial effect on carious dentine of glass ionomer when modified with Chitosan and/or Titanium dioxide nano particles vs the control group of modification with Chlorhexidine as control when used in primary molars

Aim of the study: Assess the correlation between salivary alkaline phosphatase levels and dental caries. Assess the effect of growth of children on the levels of salivary alkaline phosphatase enzyme. Assess the effect of growth of children on caries experience and severity.

Dental caries is a biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven, multifactorial, dynamic disease that results in the phasic demineralization and remineralization of dental hard tissues. These tissues have poor regeneration capability because of the lack of both regenerative cells and vascularization. In the complex caries progression process involving dietary sugars, bacterial metabolism and demineralization, the collagenous organic matrix becomes exposed and destroyed by resident and bacterial proteases, allowing the lesion to expand

This study conducted on thirty children aged 3-6 years old of both genders, have bilateral carious lower first primary molars. Pre-operative periapical x- ray were taken for both sides. The children were divided into 2 groups(SMART group and ART group). For Atraumatic Restorative Technique (ART technique), glass ionomer cement(GIC) was applied according to manufacturer's instructions. For Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Technique (SMART technique), SDF was applied carefully using bended micro sponge brush. It was applied directly to only the affected tooth surface. After one week GIC was applied according to manufacturer's instructions. Clinical and radiographic evaluation were done for all teeth at 6, 12 months. The data were collected then statistically analyzed using chi-square test to show the difference between groups.

The aim of this study was evaluating the clinical effectiveness of the hand instrument in conjunction with sectional matrix when applying lateral forces at the contact area during curing to achieve large and tight proximal contacts in posterior teeth.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of direct and Indirect Composite Restoration in Children With Molar Incisor Hypomineralization Patients (MIH) and following up after 3 , 6 , 12 months (Clinically): Group A ( Control group ): Hypomineralization molars were restored by direct composite. Group B ( Experimental group ): Hypomineralization molars were restored by indirect composite.
