Active clinical trials for "Dental Caries"

The aim of the current study was to compare pain perception of young children treated with SDF and ART, as well as their parents' acceptability of both modalities.

The objective of this study was to analyze the radiographic density of digital subtraction radiographs after SMART restoration with partial caries removal in primary molars at 6 and 12 months.

The purpose of this study is to extend our knowledge concerning the clinical performance of two dental filling materials in molars. The study will compare two high-strength glass-ionomer filling materials. The investigators hypothesize that after two years (1) the clinical performance of both filling materials shows a similar survival rate, (2) the ChemFil Rock fillings show similar or higher incidence of fracture than Fuji IX GP fillings.

Objective: To verify the progression of active microcavitated carious lesions on occlusal surfaces of primary molars after the orientation of the brushing technique associated with fluoride dentifrice compared to resin sealant, through a 12-month randomized clinical trial. Methodology: We selected 22 children from 4 to 9 years old from the public school system of the city of Juazeiro do Norte-Ceará, with at least one primary molar presenting an active caries lesion score 3 of the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). Randomization was performed en bloc and stratified by two conditions (age and caries experience). The selected teeth were divided into two groups: the first (G1) was submitted to brushing with fluoridated toothpaste; and the other group (G2) to the resin sealing technique, whose application of the material was performed under absolute or relative isolation, selected through a second randomization. The molars undergoing treatment were evaluated at 6- and 12-month returns. Caries progression was evaluated according to the type of treatment, dental group and sealant retention by the Chi-square test. For cost analysis, the variance test (ANOVA) was used.

The aim of this randomised-controlled, single-blind, split-mouth, and single-centre clinical trial was to evaluate the 2-year clinical performances of a high-viscosity glass ionomer and nanohybrid composite resin in occlusal restorations on mandibular second molar teeth in patients at risk for salivary contamination.

Objective: To evaluate the immediate clinical performance using FDI criteria in occlusal and proximal lesions restored with dual polymerization bulkfill composite resin. Materials and methods: Experimental, clinical, controlled, randomized, double-blind study. For the evaluation of Fill-up! (FU) will be clinically compared to the control groups of a conventional Tetric N-Ceram (TB) RBK and Filtek z350 (z350) conventional composite resin. The adhesive process will be carried out under absolute isolation, of selective etching of 37% orthophosphoric acid enamel before applying the respective adhesive according to the trademark of the composite resins. The evaluation will be to 30 days, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months using the modified FDI criteria of postoperative sensitivity, marginal staining, color, marginal adaptation and anatomy, being 1: Excellent, 2: Good, 3: Fair, 4: unsatisfactory and 5: unacceptable. The non-parametric Kruskal Wallis test and Friedman (95% significance) used to compare the criteria.

The LENTO study sample includes the caregivers and their clients living in eastern Finland. The aims of this study are to study the nutritional status, oral health, coping, functional capacity and quality of life to find out how individual nutrition and oral health counseling received for caregivers affect on the nutritional status and oral health of caregivers and their clients develop an operating model to maintain good nutrition and oral health.

This study is conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of class I reinforced glass ionomer restorations (Zirconomer Improved and Equia Forte Fil)

Context: CEMENT PBS CIMMO DTA® has physical and biological properties that classify it as a biocompatible material and inducer of biomineralization, attributes that qualify it as material as an indirect pulp capper in permanent tooth restorations. Objective: The present clinical study proposes the use of PBS CIMMO DTA® cement as an indirect pulp capper, in resin restorations composed of permanent molars and premolars. The objective was to minimize postoperative sensitivity arising from restorative procedures. Method: Randomized clinical trial with two arms, double blind, interventional, prospective. The sample consisted of 20 male patients, with an average age of 20 years. Totaling 70 teeth to be treated. The teeth were divided into two groups: Group R (Control Group, n = 35), treated with a standard restorative procedure. Group D (Study group n = 35), treated using CEMENT PBS CIMMO DTA®, as an indirect capper of the pulp wall. The evaluation was carried out by a masked examiner for both groups. Sensitivity tests were performed before the restorative procedure, at 48 hours, 7, 15 and 30 days after the procedure. The analysis included pain caused by thermal stimuli: Cold Test (TM); horizontal (TPH) and vertical (TPV) percussion; Bite Test (TM) and Pain Decline Time (DD) was measured. Measured using Visual Analog Scale (EVA).

Background There is little information regarding the longevity of the restored tooth, considering the health of the pulp-dentine complex, in children who do not sufficiently cooperate with dental treatment. Aim To evaluate the longevity of primary molar teeth with an occluso-proximal cavity that was treated with the selective removal of carious tissue. Design A total of 150 children were allocated to two parallel groups: group 1 (G1, n = 70, control, Ketac Molar Easymix®, 3M/ESPE, Seefeld, GE) and group 2 (G2, n = 80, test, Maxxion®, FGM, Joinville, BR). The study was double-blinded, and an operator specialized in paediatric dentistry performed the selective removal of soft dentine and the restoration of the cavity with GIC. During the follow-up periods, the teeth were evaluated via periapical radiography by two trained examiners specialized in radiology. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 11.2 software (StataCorp, Texas, USA) and a survival curve (Kaplan-Meier).
