Active clinical trials for "Tooth Injuries"

This study is intended to provide statistically robust evidence that Symbios Demineralized Cortical-cancellous granule mix, Symbios OsteoGraf LD-300, and OsteoGraf/N-300 combined with Symbios OsteoShield Collagen Resorbable Membrane can adequately support the alveolus during ridge augmentation procedures, reducing the dimensional changes of both the alveolus and the overlying soft tissues. Additionally, a comparison between each material will be made, providing further evidence of each materials' ability to preserve the alveolus. It is intended to define in objective terms the response of the hard and soft tissues to ridge augmentation.

Aim: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes of regenerative endodontic technique (RET) for the management of traumatised non-vital immature teeth in children. Methodology: This study aims to recruit 25-30 healthy children with traumatised non-vital immature upper incisors to be treated with bi-antibiotic regenerative endodontic technique. Patients will be reviewed clinically at 3m,6m,9m,12m,2y,and 3 years and radiographically at 3m,9m, 2y,and 3 years. One operator will undertake all treatments, clinical reviews and standardised radiographic exposures. Radiographic analysis will be carried out by two calibrated experienced clinicians. Standardised photographs will be taken at 3m,12m,2y,and 3 years and crown colour changes will be assessed using a standardised validated methodology.

This observer-blind crossover intervention study aims to determine the most effective type of device as oral mouthguard in modified-Electroconvulsive Therapy (m-ECT) comparing three types of devices: standard, prefabricated and manufactured in the dental laboratory. Patients from the ECT Unit of Psychiatric Department of the University Hospital of Bellvitge will use the three devices at a random sequence during the twelve treatment sessions, so each device (A, B, C) will be used for two weeks, that is, for four consecutive sessions.

TRIAL TITLE Open trial, not randomized study evaluating the efficacy and the tolerance of RD94 in patients needing endodontic care, medical device class III. SPONSOR: SEPTODONT, 58 rue de Pont de Créteil, 94107 Saint Maur des Fossés cedex Tel : + 33 1-49-76-74-26, Fax. : + 33 1- 49-76-71-91 Reference protocol: 09/001 PRODUCT NAME: Biodentine™ (RD94) MEDICAL DEVICE: Class: Bioactive dental substitute (Tricalcium silicate) Dose: not applicable Application : one single time DEVELOPMENTAL PHASE: not applicable (medical device class III)

In this randomized crossover trial the investigators test whether three different brands of videolaryngoscopes (VLS) exhibit reduced forces on both upper and lower teeth, and compare them with a classic Macintosh laryngoscope blade.

Preservation of the primary teeth is a mandatory issue for maintaining the integrity of the normal dentition and functioning till the eruption of the successors. furcal perforations may occur due to iatrogenic and non-iatrogenic causes. Despite the high successful outcomes in perforation repair with MTA, there are some issues which prevent the clinicians from using it for many cases such as its very long setting time and its difficult manipulation. Biodentin could be used as an alternative to MTA in reparative treatment procedures due to its ability to provide a hermetic seal and durable restoration and thus an optimal sealing is expected. The importance of the trial lies in testing the sealing ability of Biodentine using scanning electron microscope. Biodentine has short setting time and is easier in manipulation than MTA which are major needs when dealing with pediatric patients to be able to give best results in short time.

In fixed prosthodontic treatment, deflection of gingival tissues for diagnosis or making an impression is one of the important phases. Gingival displacement is defined as "displacement of gingival tissues both in vertical and lateral dimensions". Lateral retraction displaces the tissues so that an adequate bulk of impression material can be interfaced with the prepared tooth. Vertical retraction exposes the uncut portion of the tooth apical to the finish line Conventional gingival retraction cord technique may injure the healthy epithelial lining and result in postoperative gingival recession The diode laser has been used for displacing gingiva to make a definitive impression. Rather than displacing gingival tissue, it removes the epithelial lining from the sulcus. The aim of the Study is to compare between the Ultrapak retraction cord and diode laser regarding the amount of vertical and lateral retraction and patient comfort.

To evaluate a novel technique of bone regeneration and simultaneous implant placement in severely damaged sockets.

Dental implants are a valid and reliable method to replace missing teeth. The major requirement for their success is an adequate volume of bone into which they can be placed. One widely used method to augment bone at the time of placing the implant is to use a bone substitute rather than taking a block bone graft from the patient. Successful augmentation in the vertical direction has often proved difficult, however, the investigators have developed a technique to achieve this in the investigators patients using a synthetic bone substitute, Osteon (Implantium, CE0120) in an attempt to avoid patients having to undergo another unnecessary surgical procedure.
