Active clinical trials for "Dental Caries"

This study is being conducted to test whether the use of diammine silver fluoride (also called silver diamine fluoride) hardens the cavity sufficiently so that it arrests.

: A split-mouth controlled clinical trial was carried out on 21 healthy, three to seven years old children, with 42 pairs (84 molars) of contralateral mandibular primary molars indicated for pulpotomy. One paired tooth in one side was designated to Biodentine (Group 1) and the other side for MTA (Group 2) as a pulp medicament. All pulpotomized teeth were finally restored with stainless steel crowns. Subjects were monitored clinically and radiographically at one, three, six and 12 months.

This clinical trial was performed to evaluate the nano-filled resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) -with a brand name of "Ketac Nano"- as a filling material for the treatment of caries in primary teeth. Children aged 5-8 years were selected and treated with either Ketac Nano or another conventional RMGI called Vitremer. Then, the treated children were evaluated at baseline, after one yeat and after two years. The hypothesis to be tested in the present study was: The clinical performance of nano-filled RMGI (Ketac Nano) in class I primary molars will differ from that of its preceding conventional RMGI (Vitremer).

The intent of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of an experimental dental bonding agent for use with dental restorative composites with and without pretreatment of the tooth dentin and enamel using phosphoric acid etching.

An in situ model will be used to evaluate and compare enamel remineralization of human enamel specimens after single use of experimental children's toothpastes.

The aim of this study is to compare two pulpotomy medicaments in primary molars clinically.A total of 200 primary molars with deep caries were treated with two different pulpotomy medicaments (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and BiodentineTM) in this study. The inclusion criteria for tooth selection were no clinical and radiographic evidence of pulp pathology. During 36 months of follow-up at 3-month intervals, clinical and radiographic success and failures were recorded.

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth requires a means to protect the cusps from the wedging forces of occlusion. When there is extensive loss of tooth structure, cuspal coverage is warranted. Usually this is in the form of indirect restoration. Traditionally, full coverage crowns have been used which would require further removal of sound tooth structure. Recently, adhesive alternatives have been introduced which allow for conservation of tooth structure. Different materials can be used for this purpose. The evidence on the long-term survival of these materials is scarce. This study aims to investigate the short and medium-long term survival rate of these prostheses.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the additional therapeutic benefit of Curodont Repair for the treatment early occlusal carious lesions on permanent teeth in children compared fluoride varnish alone the tooth gel Curodont Protect when using it after Curodont Repair instead of fluoride varnish

This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and the radiographic success of Dycal and Vitrebond as indirect pulp treatment materials in primary molars.

The hypothesis to be investigated is that no difference will be found upon comparing resin composite strip crowns and NuSmile zirconia crowns (NuSmile ZR) esthetic primary anterior in restoring anterior primary teeth.
