o bjectives: caries and dental trauma are common reasons for primary anterior teeth restorations in children. this non-control clinical trial was designed to eva- luate crown restorations reinforced with a sectioned file post for the restoration of severely damaged primary maxillary incisors. materials and methods: thirty-eight primary maxillary incisors of 12 children (3-5 years old) with earl...

Analysis of surface and tooth-specific data from NHANES I and HHANES shows that the pattern of dental caries differs greatly from tooth to tooth and surface to surface. Occlusal caries precedes all other types, and increases most rapidly and to the highest levels in the molars. Caries on the proximal surfaces comes later. For sealants to be of value, they must reduce the need for restorations. ...

The method, known as the Hall Technique (HT) involves sealing early caries in primary molars with no tooth cutting, no removal of caries, and no local anaesthesia. That is “no needle "and "no drill”. A preformed metal crown (PMC), also referred to as a stainless steel crown, is cemented directly over caries that does not extend radiographically beyond the middle third of dentine. The sealing of...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and severity of general tooth wear (GTW), i.e. tooth wear irrespective of etiology and erosive tooth wear (ETW), i.e. tooth wear predominantly due to erosion; and also to investigate the relationship between ETW and dental caries experience in 16-year-old adolescents in Kuantan, Malaysia. METHODS A multi-staged cluster sam...

This case report describes the Indirect Pulp Treatment (IPT) of deep caries lesion in a permanent molar. A 16-year-old male patient reported discomfort associated with thermal stimulation on the permanent mandibular left first molar. The radiographs revealed a deep distal caries lesion, very close to the pulp, absence of radiolucencies in the periapical region, and absence of periodontal space ...

introduction: it was to compare the efficacy of semiannually fluoride varnish application versus pit and fissure sealant to reduce occlusal caries incidence. materials and methods: a randomized parallel designed study was conducted with 352 child-ren aged 6-7 years. participants were allocated into biannual application of varnish (n=179) (naf 5 %( durafluor, dentsply®, latin america) or resin-b...

INTRODUCTION healthy dietary habits are considered to improve oral health and tooth quality. Caries treatment comprises tooth restoration with dental composites and sealants, almost all (> 90%) of which contain bisphenol A (BPA). Study hypotheses were: a) breakfast and oral hygiene habits are important factors in dental caries development; and b) dental caries treatment with epoxy-resins entail...

Dental and oral health is the main need of people, including to children. Since, about 60 – 90% children are suffering from dental caries. The prevention caries an important part conducting. digitalization era has influenced education. Tooth brushing one way keep health. However, proper tooth not been achieved by Our objective conduct programs for creating a smart brush named TOMON (Tooth Monst...

Dental caries incidence is affected by host factors that may be related to the structure of dental enamel, immunologic response to cariogenic bacteria, or the composition of saliva. Genetic variation of the host factors may contribute to increased risks for dental caries. This systematic review examined the literature to address the question, "Is the risk for dental decay related to patterns of...

Tooth decay is one of the most common infectious microbiological diseases in world. Dental cavities are now less than it was before water fluoridation put into place. Fluoride toothpastes a high calibre and excellent at preventing tooth decay. therapy administered by specialist helps prevent dental caries. Common fluoride agents include sodium (NaF), monofluorophosphate, stannous fluoride, silv...
