Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to study the association between Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life as assessed by "The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale" questionnaire. Methods: Parents of healthy children (ASA I and II) ages 1-5 with early childhood caries with reversible pulpitis who had application of SDF filled out a questionnaire at baseline and again after one month. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate the child's behavior, physical abilities, pain, temperament, and how well the child gets along with others. Results: Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to determine if responses to various ECOHIS items and the total scores were different between the two time points. Conclusion: Children with dental caries who had application of SDF reported less dental pain, less eating problems, higher quality of sleep and overall higher quality of life at one-month follow up compared with the baseline.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Helping patients achieve an optimal quality of life through patient-centered treatment planning should be the ultimate goal of all oral health care providers. However, this issue extends beyond the realm of the individual clinician's office. This text presents quality-of-life research from various fields, including psychology, public health, and general health care; discusses how a patient-centered approach can be applied to basic oral and craniofacial research, clinical dental practice, community dental health issues, and dental education; and addresses how oral health-related quality of life relates to treating and understanding different patient populations, such as children with special needs, medically compromised patients, patients with oral cancer, and patients with chronic facial pain. Also discussed is how factors such as race/ethnicity, gender, and age can affect oral health-related quality-of-life concerns and treatment strategies. Finally, the book offers an outlook on the role that oral health-related quality of life will play in future research and dental education.
Download or read book Silver Diamine Fluoride written by Karthika D and published by Clever Fox Publishing. This book was released on with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental caries specifically ECC, remains a remarkable issue in certain parts of society, particularly those with low socioeconomic status and with scarce health care services. Techniques that promote less discomfort, such as the application of silver diamine fluoride, should be preferred and considered. Treatment of the disease is needed as children with an active caries lesion in their primary dentition can also present with caries lesions in their permanent dentition. By arresting and preventing the progression of caries, SDF offers an intervening care path for young children for whom traditional restorative treatment is not instantly available nor unacceptable by the children. This book on SDF highlights the properties of SDF and clinical recommendations on its use, safety for clinicians, the pros and cons of SDF solution in the clinical use of young children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collaborative work provides a detailed snapshot of child oral health in Australia. In doing so, it describes the levels of dental caries and its components, dental fluorosis and other oral health conditions and how they vary by social characteristics. It also describes protective factors such as toothbrushing, the use of fluoridated toothpastes and making dental visits. The 2012–14 National Child Oral Health Study (NCOHS) was a cross-sectional study of the child population aged 5 to 14 years in Australia. A total of 24,664 children from 841 participating schools completed the study. The study sample was selected in a complex multistage, stratified sampling design. Sophisticated weighting procedure was employed to adjust for variations in probabilities of selection and response rates. Therefore, this report presents estimates as representative of child oral health in Australia. Information was collected via a parental questionnaire and a detailed dental examination by trained dental professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disease dental caries and in particular coronal caries is addressed while providing an update and evidence-based knowledge on how researchers, university teachers, oral health professionals and dental students should understand the etiopathogenesis of the caries process and should diagnose, assess risk, take treatment decisions, manage and monitor coronal caries at individual and population levels. Renowned cariologists from across the world have contributed to this book, encompassing sixteen chapters, all peer reviewed ad hoc by international experts. The chapters were designed as evidence-based reviews on relevant aspects of the state-of-the-art on coronal caries. Individual chapters might express different views about subjects included in this monograph – considered an enrichment of the book rather than a contradiction in terms. Great emphasis was placed on effective and biologically friendly management of coronal caries in daily practice, which includes, under a unique umbrella, both non-operative and operative treatments. Attention was paid to the evaluation of the success of the treatment performed by means of clinical and patient-reported outcomes. The content of this book is of interest to readers in the field of dentistry.

Download or read book Silver Fluoride and Caries Management written by Raman Bedi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Health Organization (WHO) have classified the dental caries epidemic as a global public health priority. A global action plan has been published, and by 2030, each country needs to reduce the dental caries burden and implement a universal health care strategy. Public and private oral health care expenditure has reached an estimated 387 billion US dollars, and its distribution is unequal, with most costs occurring in high-income settings. Dental caries is estimated to impact 3.5 billion people and is more significant than any other Non-communicable disease. The majority of dental cavities are untreated. In 2021, the WHO Essential Medicine Committee included, for the first time, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) as a critical medicine. SDF was listed as a caries arresting product. Silver fluoride product has recently been introduced to the dental market and initial evidence is that it is also as effective in arresting caries.
