OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of oral H.pylori among adults and to investigate the correlation between H.pylori infection and common oral diseases. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study was performed among adults Chinese who took their annual oral healthy examination at The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, China. RESULTS The st...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between baseline caries experience and the restoration replacement rate in children. METHODS The 5-year New England Children's Amalgam Trial recruited 534 6- to 10-year-old children with 2 or more carious posterior teeth. The association between decoy and longevity of restorations was assessed. Restorations with no follow-up (N ...

Introduction: Since the removal of caries in Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) is performed with hand excavation, its survival would increase if more bacteria could be inhibited under restoration. The use antibacterial agents such as Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) was found to hinder growth restorations, reducing risk recurrent caries. Objective: Evaluate effectiveness CHX a cavity disinfec...

The current approach to dental caries focuses on modifying and correcting factors to favor oral health. Caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA) is an evidence-based approach to preventing or treating dental caries at the earliest stages. Caries protective factors are biologic or therapeutic measures that can be used to prevent or arrest the pathologic challenges posed by the caries risk f...

BACKGROUND There are a number of studies citing the primary reason for replacing auto cure glass ionomer cements was due to recurrent caries. The purpose of this study was to use an in vitro model to measure caries at the dentine restoration interface of bonded composite resin and auto cure glass ionomer cement restorations and to measure the amount of surface degradation occurring in the resto...

PURPOSE To assess the effects of three different dental adhesive systems on the formation of secondary root caries, in vitro, with a standardized interfacial gap in a filled cavity model. METHODS 40 sound human molars were selected and randomly assigned to four experimental groups: Clearfil SE Bond (CSEB), Xeno III (X-III), Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus (SBMP) and negative control (NC) withou...

A 10-month-old female presented with severe progressive wedge-shaped thickening and discoloration of all twenty nails. Further evaluations revealed palmoplantar keratoderma along with recurrent acral blisters causing residual crusted ulcers which were present during the past six months. Other findings included scalp kinky hair and dental caries. Past medical and family history had remarkable fi...

Raise in esthetic outlook from patients has lead to search for an ultimate material restoring teeth and procedures using them. Composite resin proved be the excellent substance and was customized with respect matrix filler, surface superiority is key factor in determining success of composite restorations inadequately polished surfaces contribute staining, plaque accumulation, gingival irritati...
