Abstract Objective The aim of this single – blind, multicenter, parallel, randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effectiveness application a high‐fluoride toothpaste on root caries in adults. Methods Adult patients ( n = 130, ♂ 74, ♀ 56; mean age ± SD : 56.9 12.9) from three participating centers, diagnosed with caries, were randomly allocated into two groups: Test 64, 37, 27; lesions 144; age: 59.0 12.1; intervention: 5000 ppm F ), and Control 66, 29; 160; 54.8 13.5;...
<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Objectives</h3> The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence musculoskeletal (MS) disorders in practicing German dentists and identify risk factors for pain chronification. <h3>Methods</h3> This a cross-sectional, quantitative, questionnaire-based which validated version Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire sent out dentists. <h3>Results</h3> Of 8,072 questionnaires out, 576 responded (60.2% men, 39.8% women; mean [SD] age, 50 [10.1] years; response rate,...
This study investigated the efficiency of a chlorhexidine varnish and an antibiotic paste in suppressing cultivable microflora deep dentine cavities stepwise excavation procedure. Subsequent to enamel preparation removal central biomass, infected was sampled from cavity floor. Ten each were either covered with 1% chlorhexidine- thymol-containing Cervitec (CE), demeclocycline hydrocortisone-containing ointment Ledermix (LE) or received no treatment as control (CO). A compomer composite used...
Abstract Purpose: To determine whether students improve their communication skills as a result of supervised patient care and newly implemented course could further these skills. Method: We conducted randomised, controlled trial including all participants the first clinical treatment ( n = 26) between October 2006 February 2007. Randomisation was balanced by gender basic The test group practised dentist‐patient in small groups with role‐plays videotaped real interviews, whereas control...
The purpose of this study was to determine the validity detecting approximal imperfections composite fillings using three intraoral radiographic systems in vitro . Class II resin restorations (108) with radiopacities (264, 306, 443% Al 99.5) which 27 had marginal openings or overhangs, respectively, were conventionally (Ektaspeed plus) and digitally (Dexis, Digora) radiographed. Images assessed by 10 observers for presence gaps as well their need restorative treatment according a five‐point...
Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) directly affects oral health. Yet data about halitosis in young CKD patients and the impact of dental prophylaxis is limited. Therefore, as part this randomized clinical trial, undergoing intensive or standard preventive procedures was to be explored. Methods Three volatile sulfur compounds (hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan dimethyl sulfide) were measured 30 with (mean age 14.2 years; 16 males, 14 females). Breath samples taken after 3 6...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether shear bond strengths (SBS) chemomechanically excavated dentine (Carisolv ™ ) differed from the SBS after conventional caries removal (bur). following adhesive systems were used: Dyract AP/NRC/Prime & Bond NT; AP/Prime Tetric Ceram/Syntac SC; SC (no etch)(TC 2); Definite/Etch Prime 3.0; Definite/experimental. One‐hundred and twenty human molars with occlusal assigned 12 groups. Sequential controlled laser fluorescence. After water...
OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of ambient lighting on grey-scale perception using a cathode-ray tube (CRT) and thin film transistor (TFT) computer display. METHODS A cathode ray (Nokia XS 446) liquid crystal display (Panasonic LC 50S) were used at reduced room (70 lux) under conditions recommended for dental operatory (1000 lux). Twenty-seven observers examined twice modified SMPTE test pattern [0 to 255; 255 0] values. The corresponding contrast differences allocated four ranges grey...
The purpose of this study was to determine the validity proximal caries detection supported by a prism loupe and surgical microscope used examiners having different professional experience. One hundred sixty extracted premolars molars with varying degrees or sound surfaces were embedded in 10 pairs models tooth contacts simulated gingiva mask. visually evaluated 14 observers (7 students, 7 dentists) according 5-point rating scale using head-worn (×4.5), (×14) without any magnifying device...
Abstract Objectives Aim of this RCT was to evaluate whether the added use a decision board ( DB ) during shared decision‐making improves patients' knowledge as for different treatment options and overall satisfaction with consultation. Methods Forty‐nine undergraduate students were trained in SDM evaluated by an O bjective S tructured C linical E xamination OSCE ). According their test results, all participants randomly allocated either test‐ or control‐group (Non‐ Both groups performed...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reproducibility laser fluorescence electrical resistance readings on root carious lesions. One hundred three freshly extracted human teeth with various forms natural caries were investigated by 6 operators using device DIAGNOdent (DD) Electronic Caries Monitor (ECM III). As a reference, caries-free area each tooth also examined. Specimens classified as colour, surface texture cavitation depth. Teeth sectioned through centre lesion...
PURPOSE: To investigate the buffering capacity of restorative materials during a simulated carious and intrinsic erosive attack. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cavities with volume 130 μl were milled (Cerec MC XL) out blocks Ceram X Mono (CM), Quixfil (QX), Filtek Supreme (FS), Apa Fill 3 (AF), an experimental dual-curing composite containing bioactive glass (EX), Dyract eXtra (DY), Beautifil (BE), Equia Fil (EQ), Telio CAD (TL) (negative control), TheraCal (TC; positive extracted teeth (ED). 80...
