Active clinical trials for "Tooth Diseases"

There are two choices of restorations and implant abutments connection now: cemented and screw-retained.The excess cement, which would be difficult to completely remove, might lead to series of biological complications. The angulated screw channel (ASC) abutments, which recently introduced by Nobel Biocare , largely address the problem with visible screw access that may compromise esthetics. However, all of the present studies were clinical reports, thus the clinical efficacy of ASC abutments still needs the verification of evidence-based medicine with larger sample. Therefore, we designed a randomized controlled clinical trial study, aiming to verify the clinical efficacy of the ASC abutments by comparing screw-retained (with ASC abutments) single implant crowns with cemented ones in esthetic region.

Charcot Marie Tooth Disease is a family of inherited peripheral neuropathies, with over 70 causative genes identified to date.1-4 Muscle cramps are frequent in CMT, affecting up to 85% of patients with some subtypes of CMT. These cramps impact quality of life and have been identified as an important therapeutic target for clinical trials in CMT.1-4 There is no FDA approved treatment for muscle cramps.5 Mexiletine is a sodium channel blocker approved for treatment of arrhythmias. As a sodium channel blocker, mexiletine offers the promise of effective therapy for muscle cramps.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether PXT3003 is effective and safe in the treatment of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease - Type 1 A (CMT1A). This double-blind study will assess in parallel groups 2 doses of PXT3003 compared to Placebo in CMT1A patients treated for 15 months.

The single-center, open-label Phase II study has the objective of assess the effect of MD1003 on motor and sensory conduction in patients suffering from demyelinating polyneuropathies in 15 subjects.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether equal subanesthetic doses of racemic ketamine is equally effective on females and males after surgical removal of third molars

Charcot-Marie-Tooth type IA (CMT1A) is the most prevalent hereditary peripheral neuropathy. Demyelination of peripheral nerves is the hallmark of CMT1A. Ascorbic acid has been shown to have a favorable influence on myelination in in vitro studies and in a mouse model for CMT1A. We will study the efficacy and safety of ascorbic acid treatment in young patients with CMT1A.

This is a single centre, three-arm randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, single-dose, active and placebo-controlled efficacy and pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 x 200 mg Ibuprofen Liquid Capsules in subjects with post-operative dental pain.

Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) is the most common inherited neuropathy. It affects the nerves of the hands and feet first, slowly progressing towards the centre of the body. It causes varying degrees of weakness and reduced feeling, usually affecting the feet and ankles first. High incidence of falls and knock on effects in quality of life are common. This is a lifelong condition which, though not life limiting, does not have a cure. Research into the effect of balance rehabilitation in people with CMT has been limited to traditional exercises, which do not address the complex nature of balance impairments in this condition. Multi-sensory rehabilitation has proved beneficial in improving balance in people with sensory neuropathy. Research shows that strengthening trunk muscles can improve balance in older people. Trunk and muscles close to it are largely unaffected in people with CMT, therefore these muscles could be strengthened in these patients. This study proposes to assess the feasibility of multi-sensory balance training, strength training with a focus on the trunk and muscles close to the trunk, and falls management education. This comprehensive approach is reflective of a clinical physiotherapy programme. Though a life-long condition, many people with CMT lead full lives. A home based programme is proposed to so that patients can fit it into their lives without having to travel for treatment. Therapists will use self-management principles within treatment. Measurements will be taken prior to and following treatment including physical measures, questionnaires and interviews. The physiotherapy interventions will be taught home and data collection will be at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, University College London Hospitals (UCLH).

Introduction and Research Problem: The aim of this project is to evaluate and compare two full coronal restorations on primary posterior molars over a period of 3, 6 and 12 months in terms of restoration failure, marginal integrity, proximal contact, secondary caries, occlusion and gingival response. The restorations types are Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC) and NuSmile Zirconia Crowns (Nu/ZR). Materials and Methods: Children attending the King Abdulaziz University, Faculty of Dentistry (KAUFD) clinics who need restorations will be screened for inclusion criteria till 120 teeth are recruited (60 teeth for SSC restorations and 60 for Nu/ZR restorations). Split mouth technique will be used to ensure equalizing variables for both groups, each patient will have side restored with SSC and the opposite side will be restored with Nu/ZR crowns. Randomization will be done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20.0 (Armonk, New York; International Business Machines Corporation (IBM Corp) for each age group separately with a uniform random variable generation. A simple descriptive statistics will be used for analysis and a T-Tests with Wilcoxon Signed-Rank will be used. Level of significance will be set at (α = 0.05) and level of confidence at (95%).

Integration success rates and the preservation of crestal bone will be higher for the experimental device than for the control implants.
