Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride and sodium fluoride varnish in arresting dentine caries submitted by Chu Chun Hung for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in May 2004 Introduction: Caries prevalence in young children in China is high and most of the decayed teeth are left untreated. Conventional dental treatments are either not available or are unaffordable in many rural areas. Innovative approaches are needed to improve this situation. Aim: This prospective clinical trial investigated the effectiveness of topical fluoride applications in arresting dentine caries. The first null hypothesis to be tested was that there were no differences in the effectiveness of applying a 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution (44,800 ppm F), a 5% sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish (22,600 ppm F) and water in arresting dentine caries. The second null hypothesis was that caries removal prior to fluoride application had no impact on its effectiveness in arresting dentine caries. Methods: A total of 375 Chinese kindergarten children, aged 3-5 years with carious upper anterior teeth were divided into five groups. Children in the first and second groups received annual applications of SDF. NaF was applied every three months onto the lesions of children in the third and fourth groups. For children in the first and third groups, soft carious tissues were removed with hand instruments prior to fluoride application at the baseline examination. The fifth group of children received annual applications of water. Follow-up examinations were performed every six months. The children's parents completed a questionnaire to assess parental satisfaction with the appearance of the upper anterior teeth of their child before treatment and again at 24 months after treatment. Results: A total of 308 children were followed for 30 months. The respective mean numbers of arrested caries tooth surfaces in the five groups of children were 2.5, 2.8, 1.5, 1.5 and 1.3 (pDOI: 10.5353/th_b3016250 Subjects: Dental caries - Prevention Dental caries in children Fluorides - Therapeutic use Sodium fluoride - Therapeutic use

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: To investigate the efficacy of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) with 5% fluoride varnish (FV) in treating cavitated caries in young children and to explore the association between SDF treatment and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Methods: Children with active dentinal caries lesions (ICDAS 5 or 6) in primary teeth underwent treatment with 38% SDF and 5% FV at baseline and 4 months later. Treated lesions were assessed 4 and 8 months after baseline to determine arrest. Participants were deemed Completely Successful (CS) if all treated lesions were arrested and Incompletely Successful (IS) if at least one lesion was not arrested. The early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS) questionnaire was completed at second and third visits. Statistical analyses included descriptive and bivariate methods. A P value ≤ 0.05 was significant. Results: Forty children with 239 caries lesions were enrolled; mean age 40.2 +/- 14.9 months and 45% male. Lesion arrest rates after one and two applications of SDF were 74.1% and 96.2%, respectively. Children who reportedly brushed twice daily were more likely to be in the CS group compared to those who brushed less (p=0.006). Participants in the CS group had a significantly lower mean baseline dmft score than those in the IS group (p= 0.048). No significant difference in OHRQoL was observed between CS and IS groups. Conclusions: SDF with 5% FV is an effective approach to the management of ECC; more than one application is recommended along with regular follow-up of patients and twice daily brushing. OHRQoL was not found to be affected by the level of success of SDF treatment.

Download or read book The Root Canal Biofilm written by Luis E. Chávez de Paz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the current state of research on the basic scientific aspects of root canal biofilm biology within a clinically applicable context. Root canal biofilms are complex polymicrobial structures adhering to the root canal surface that are formed by microorganisms invading the pulpal space of teeth, and are associated with persistent root canal infections. Concerted efforts to study root canal biofilms have been made in the past decade, resulting in the publication of observational and experimental studies that detail the morphology and biology of these structures in infected root canals. In addition to confirming that bacteria in root canals do not exist in free-floating planktonic states as previously assumed, this new information on root canal biofilm infections has provided an opportunity to re-evaluate conventional clinical protocols and improve endodontic therapeutic measures.

This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case reports and clinical trials conducted in various countries show, more and more frequently, a positive correlation between the presence of original teeth and prevalence of root caries in older age. Because this is a global trend, it is likely that the predicted increase in the worldwide elderly population may soon cause a significant increase in the number of people requiring effective means of preventing and treating root surface caries. In response to this development, a team of outstanding contributors has reviewed the most important aspects of root caries. This new volume presents their findings along with discussions of how to deal with this health issue that progressively affects the oral health balance. The chapters in this book are divided in four core parts: Epidemiology, Biological Determinants, Lesion Assessment and Features and Preventive and Operative Therapies. The collection of state-of-the-art articles provides a broad overview and will serve as a reference for clinicians as well as scientists and, hopefully, will encourage new research.

Epidemiological studies reported that most of the ECC are left untreated. While young children may not be co-operative enough for conventional restorative treatments, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) can be topically applied on tooth surfaces as a cariostatic agent. Previous clinical trials have confirmed that annual application of 38% SDF is effective in arresting dentin caries in preschool children. However, information about the effectiveness of SDF with different combinations of concentration and frequency is still lacking. This information is important for the optimal application of SDF in the future public health programs for caries control. This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate and compare the effectiveness of 12% and 38% SDF when applied annually or biannually in arresting dentin caries of primary teeth of preschool children for 30 months. The two null hypotheses tested were firstly, there is no difference in effectiveness when SDF is applied at 12% or 38% in arresting dentin caries of preschool children; and secondly, there is no difference in effectiveness when SDF is applied annually or biannually in arresting dentin caries of preschool children. A total of 888 healthy and cooperative K1 children aged 3-4 years with at least one dentin caries surface were recruited and randomized into four treatment groups: Group 1 received annual applications of 12% SDF, Group 2 received biannual applications of 12% SDF, Group 3 received annual applications of 38% SDF, and Group 4 received biannual applications of 38% SDF. Group 3 was assigned as the positive control group. Primary outcome was soft dentin caries surface at baseline that became arrested at the follow-up examinations. Clinical examinations were conducted at the kindergartens every 6 months by the same trained examiner. Parental questionnaires were used to collect the children's demographic information, oral hygiene related habits, parental satisfaction with children's dental appearance and dental health at baseline, 18- and 30-month examinations. Adverse effects after treatments including increment of non-vital teeth, complaint about tooth or gingival discomfort, gingival discoloration, and black staining over arrested surfaces were also recorded. A total of 798 children with 3,268 caries surfaces were examined at 30-month follow-up. The dropout rates of the four groups were similar. The respective proportions of arrested surfaces in Group 1 to Group 4 were 48.7%, 54.0%, 60.6%, and 66.9%, respectively (p To conclude, SDF is more effective in arresting dentin caries in primary teeth of preschool children at 38% than 12%, and when applied biannually than annually. Clinical significant improvement in effectiveness can be achieved by increasing its concentration. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5435643 Subjects: Denta
