Controlling plaque accumulation is imperative to good oral health. Plaque accumulation leads to inflammation that can cause dental disease if not managed properly. In a clinical trial published in 2021 in the International Journal of Dental Hygiene the authors aimed to “evaluate the plaque removal … [Read more...] about Clinical Comparison of an Electric-powered Ionic Toothbrush and a Manual Toothbrush in Plaque Reduction: A randomized Clinical Trial – Science Sunday
Retention and Remineralization Effect of Moisture Tolerant Resin-based Sealant and Glass Ionomer Sealant on Non-cavitated Pit and Fissure Caries: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Dental sealants have been used as a preventative for dental caries, retention and marginal integration are key to decreasing the incidence of caries in pit and fissures that have been sealed. It has been postulated that the adoption of pit and fissure sealants as a part of minimally invasive … [Read more...] about Retention and Remineralization Effect of Moisture Tolerant Resin-based Sealant and Glass Ionomer Sealant on Non-cavitated Pit and Fissure Caries: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
A Randomized Clinical Trial to Arrest Dentin Caries in Young Children using Silver Diamine Fluoride. – Science Sunday
Early childhood caries (ECC) have long been a major global health problem, affecting around 530 million children according to the World Health Organization (FDI World Dental Federation, 2020). ECC is defined as “the presence of one or more decayed, missing (due to caries), or filled tooth surfaces … [Read more...] about A Randomized Clinical Trial to Arrest Dentin Caries in Young Children using Silver Diamine Fluoride. – Science Sunday
A 12-month Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Erythritol Air-polishing Versus Curette/Ultrasonic Debridement of Mandibular Furcations in Supportive Periodontal Therapy – Science Sunday
Management of periodontal disease is achieved through disruption of microbial biofilm and removal of calculus. This is often done via hand scaling and ultrasonic scalers. However, these techniques can contribute to soft and hard tissue damage as well as patients experiencing sensitivity due to … [Read more...] about A 12-month Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Erythritol Air-polishing Versus Curette/Ultrasonic Debridement of Mandibular Furcations in Supportive Periodontal Therapy – Science Sunday
