Active clinical trials for "Stomatognathic Diseases"

The study will involve a 10-week Micro-Randomized Trial (MRT) to inform the delivery of prompts (via mobile app push notifications) designed to facilitate adherence to an ideal tooth brushing protocol (2x2x4; 2 sessions daily, 2 minutes per session, all 4 quadrants).

Dental caries represents a challenge for Oral Health Services in several African Countries, like Uganda. Few studies have been reported the burden of oral health, its prevention and non-operative treatment among school children in African countries. Aim: To assess the prevalence and risk factors of dental caries and the effectiveness of strategies to prevent and treat dental caries using a non-operative approach among children in Gulu Municipality, Uganda. Methods: The proposal RCT is structured in three phases: 1. A descriptive cross-sectional survey to collect oral data among 610 school children selected using a multistage cluster sampling; 2. A randomized unblinded two-arm trial to assess the difference in the treatment/prevention of dental caries using non-operative means among school children in the Ugandian Gulu municipality; and 3. A comparison of oral health conditions between a group of children who will be given dental cleaning tools and followed up over time versus a control group. The oral health status of the participants will be assessed according to WHO and ICDAS guidelines. Stata 14.0. will be used for analysis; descriptive statistics will be carried out to analyze continuous and categorical variables and chi-square test as well as independent tests for bivariate analysis and modified poisson regression. In addition, the factors associated with dental caries will be determined by linear regression models using a statistical significance level of 5% (α = 0.05). Discussion: This trial will be the first trial conducted in Uganda assessing a school-based caries prevention programme using the WHO and ICDAS standardized international guidelines. The findings obtained will increase knowledge on oral health in Uganda school children and the effectiveness of community-based caries prevention programme in this population.

It has been suggested that the best medicine should include four principles (4P) - Medicine should be personalized, predictive, preventative and participatory. Technology has provided the tools to collect data in ways not previously possible. Individuals can now collect information on their genome (including their genetic predisposition to tolerate medications and to respond to healthy lifestyle programs) that will modify their lifestyle and therapeutic choices. Beyond spot checks of vital signs and weight, individuals can now collect information on body composition, continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and even blood sugar. Data on food consumption at a caloric, macronutrient and even micronutrient level can be collected. Standard medical histories and detailed physical examination findings and laboratory biomarkers can be correlated with this data. Collections of individual patient data will need to be managed through computer programs and smart phone applications that provide direct feedback about the influence of lifestyle on health, wellness and biomarkers. To this end, Metagenics is designing and is launching a smart phone application, Personal Lifestyle Engine (PLX), for individual use by patients and their healthcare providers. The statistical analysis of these data is the primary objective of this study.

As few is known about the oral health of bariatric patients, this study aimed to analyze the prevalence and severity of erosive tooth wear, dental caries and periodontal diseases of obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery in comparison to obese patients without bariatric procedures.

Relevance. The dental health of the Chapaevsk children's population and the risk factors for dental caries and periodontal disease were well studied in 1995-2009. But pilot epidemiological studies conducted in 2018 by employees of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics showed that despite the improvement in the environmental situation as a result of large-scale state measures of the city's environmental rehabilitation program, the prevalence and intensity of dental caries increased against the background of improved somatic health indicators. In addition, the "K" component (untreated caries) prevails in the structure of the KPU, which indicates gaps in the organization of dental care. At present, the development and implementation of a comprehensive program for the prevention of dental diseases, based on an analysis of the situation and aimed at strengthening the health and improving the quality of life of children in Chapaevsk, remains an extremely urgent problem. Such a program can be used for implementation in other regions with the adaptation of measurable prevention targets. Scientific novelty of the research. Identification of risk factors affecting children's dental health, especially regarding the safety of using fluoride to prevent dental caries Development of a comprehensive program for the prevention of the child population, taking into account the analysis of the situation in dentistry in Chapaevsk, with the participation of primary health care personnel, caregivers and families. The practical significance of the study involves the introduction of a developed comprehensive prevention program among the child population, based on interdisciplinary interaction at the level of primary health care and interdepartmental interaction with the teaching staff of preschool educational institutions and schools.

The aim of this split mouth randomized controlled study was to compare formocresol pulpotomy and zinc-oxide and eugenol pulpectomy in the treatment of vital pulp exposure in primary incisor. 39 Contralateral pairs of incisors were randomly assigned to receive pulpotomy or pulpectomy in children aged from 18 to 66 months old. Clinical and radiographical evaluations were performed at 6 and 12 months

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of application of bioactive glass in different protocols on the formation of dentin bridge after indirect pulp capping using resin composite with its adhesive both are containing bioactive glass.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the residual cementum with the histological measurements and root surface topography with SEM evaluation using four periodontal treatment methods.

This study evaluates the clinical effect of regenerative endodontic procedure using PRF in immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis. Half of participants will receive the PRF instead of blood clots in the regenerative endodontic procedure, while the other half will receive a blood clots in the regenerative endodontic procedure.

This study is conducted in order to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of 1% DMSO dentin pre-treatment on the clinical performance of etch and rinse adhesive.
