Active clinical trials for "Dental Caries"

This study assessed the clinical performance of a resin-modified glass ionomer cement containing different concentrations of chlorhexidine digluconate and doxycycline hyclate.

The purpose of this study is to look at the bonehealing when a molar has been extracted and immediately replaced by an implant leaving some defects around the implant. The defects are being treated in three different with the hypothesis that the three ways of treatment result in equal bonehealing.

The objective of this clinical study was to prospectively compare the clinical and radiographic success rates of BiodentineTM pulpotomies versus formocresol pulpotomies in children vital primary molars. A randomized, split-mouth study design was used with a sample of 37 healthy children aged 4- to 8-year-old. A total of 56 pairs (112 teeth) of carious primary teeth, 1 pair per child, were selected for treatment. One tooth from each pair was randomly assigned to either the BiodentineTM pulpotomy group or the formocresol pulpotomy group. Children were followed-up at 3, 6 and 12 months for clinical evaluation and at 6 and 12 months for radiographic evaluation. Data were collected, tabulated and analyzed using Fisher exact and McNemar tests. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.

The aim of this in vivo study was to evaluate the clinical 1 year follow-up of silica and flouroapatite reinforced glass carbomer filling material.

The study will be conducted to assess the marginal integrity of different types of restorations (ketac ™ N100 - ketac™ Universal and bulk fill flowable composite) in class v restoration using USPHS criteria.

A randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic success rates of indirect pulp capping and direct pulp capping in primary molars with reversible pulpitis using a light-cured tri-calcium silicate base material (TheraCal (LC)).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic performance of zirconia and composite strip crowns bonded on primary incisors

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental defect of enamel affecting the first permanent molar and frequently the incisors with a prevalence of 16-16.9% in Malaysia. They presented with many problems such as hypersensitivity, increase susceptibility of caries, need for recurrent complex dental treatment, and difficulty to achieve pain control. Silver Diamine Fluoride is a new form of topical fluoride that has been extensively used and recommended for the management of caries in children and adolescents. The influence of organic material removal from artificial dentine lesions by means of surface pre-treatment with deproteinizing agent show favoring result of its use on subsequent remineralization with and without fluoride. The purpose of this trial is to study the clinical outcome of SDF and papain based gel on hypomineralized teeth restored with HVGIC.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of heated in the clinical success of proximal high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations in primary molars. Material & Method: This randomized, split mouth, multicenter study was performed in four different centers including 88 patients aged between 5-7 years old. Selection criteria included clinically and/or radiographically detected proximal caries extending into the dentin tissue. A total of 250 primary molars were restored with a bulk fill GIC (Equia Forte, GC, Europe) and randomly allocated to one of the following groups: 1) non-heated (n = 125) and 2) heated (n = 125). LED light (GC- D-Light DUO, Tokyo Japan) was used at standard mode 1200 mW/cm2, at 50-60 ºC, for 60 sec for heat application. All restorations were clinically evaluated using modified USPHS criteria at the baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Chi-square test, Fisher's Exact Chi-square test, Continuity (Yates) correction, Fisher Freeman Halton test and Mc Nemar test were used to compare qualitative data with descriptive statistical methods (frequency). Kaplan Meier and Life Tables were used for survival analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

This is a prospective study in which surgical extrusion of single-rooted teeth is carried out by the same operator in 15 consecutive patients. Main objective: to evaluate the soft tissue rebound of the teeth 1 year after the surgery. Null hypothesis (H0): surgical extrusion is not a predictable treatment for the restoration of single rooted teeth.
