Active clinical trials for "Dental Caries"

electromyographic activity as well as clinical performance of bulk-Fill composite resins with Activa Bioactive Liner

BACKGROUND A simple method for arresting dentin caries with a tight seal of the cavity would exclude the need for injection and excavation, reduce the risk for dental fear and possibly postpone or eliminate the need for further treatment. AIM The aim is to evaluate success-rate and children's subjective experience of resin-based sealing (RBS) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) for treatment of occlusal dentin caries in primary molars. DESIGN Children aged 2-9 years will be recruited to undergo RBS- or GIC-treatment treatment for occlusal dentin caries in primary molars. A parent will answer the Short Form of Children's Fear Survey (CFSS-DS; parental version). No excavation but etching with 38% phosphoric acid will precede RBS. Topical and local anaesthesia and excavation with high speed bur will precede GIC. Time for treatment will be estimated. The children will rank their experience of each treatment on a 7-grade face scale. The dentist will evaluate the child's experience, cooperation and the overall experience of the treatment on a four-grade scale. The treatment will be evaluated as "without remark" or "defective" after 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. For statistical analysis the Chi-2-test, Wilcoxon-Signed-Rank-test and Paired t-test will be used.

This study will examine the clinical performance of Class II restorations over a three year period with 3 composite resins - a conventional composite resin, a flowable composite resin and a bulk placed and cured composite resin.

This study evaluates the patient 's discomfort when submitted to partial caries removal through the atraumatic restorative treatment compared to chemo-mechanical caries removal using Papacarie™ gel.

Study hypothesis: a new, low polymerization stress flowable composite performs no differently to a conventional, highly filled composite filling material when used as a restorative in small cavities in back teeth. Study will evaluate the clinical performance of a low shrinking flowable composite filling material, compared with a conventional, highly filled composite restorative when used to permanently fill small cavities in molar and premolar teeth in adult patients.

This pilot trial compares conventional restorations with a new strategy based on the medical management of caries using silver nitrate and fluoride varnish with no restorations.

This double blind randomized controlled prospective clinical trial will compare the clinical success of two tooth colored resin composite dental filling materials - TPH3 (Dentsply Caulk) and an experimental urethane dimethacrylate resin based composite resin (Dentsply Caulk) for wear resistance, staining and marginal seal using modified Ryge criteria to evaluate the posterior restorations for 24 months in duration

This study compared four mouth rinses/chews for their ability to reduce Streptococcus Mutans after usage. The four that were compared were chlorhexidine gluconate (0.12%), sodium fluoride (0.05%), paraffin wax chewing gum (sugar free), and deionized water. The paraffin wax chewing gum replaced the originally planned coconut oil and served as a placebo comparator.

Inhibition of streptococcus mutans can be effective to prevent caries in high caries-risk children. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Novamin on streptococcus mutans in the plaque of high caries-risk children.

the aim of the clinical trial is to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of the herbal mouth rinses against chlorhexidine mouth rinse.
