Root Caries

This study seeks to assess the clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes of hemisection versus implant over a 12 months period, generating robust evidence to guide clinical decision-making and enhance patient care.

This study seeks to assess the clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes of root amputation versus implant over a 12 months period, generating robust evidence to guide clinical decision-making and enhance patient care.

The aim of this study is to summarize the current level of evidence on the prevalence of root caries in elderly population, evaluate the prevalence of root caries in elderly patients living in Canton Bern, Switzerland and to analyze the association between the data collected with demographic and relevant socioeconomic factors, provide relevant long-term clinical, radiographic and oral health related outcomes and to establish a pivotal reference in treatment of elderly patients by means of non-operative root caries treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the influence of prior silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application on root caries fillings. The main questions to answer 1. Compare the success of fillings placed in dental root decay that have prior SDF application and those without prior SDF application; 2. Compare patient-based subjective evaluations on the two approaches mentioned above in treating root caries. Participants will be allocated into two group 1. prior SDF application before receiving root caries fillings 2. directly receiving root caries fillings without any SDF application

This is a cross-sectional study that aims to assess the knowledge of a sample of Egyptian dental practitioners regarding the diagnosis and management of root caries Dental caries is a major problem for adults in both developing and industrialized countries. As individuals get older, the prevalence of caries tends to increase.In recent decades, life expectancy has been steadily increasing. A report published by the United Nations in 2020 states that the global population of people aged 65 and over is currently 703 million, and it is expected to double in thirty years.However, this increase in life expectancy has led to an increase in health issues among the elderly, including the risk of developing root caries lesions. Root caries develop when the root surface is exposed to the oral cavity due to loss of alveolar bone height and subsequent gingival recession, leading to the softening of the tooth structure. This lesion presents a complex challenge for dental practitioners. Surgical intervention is difficult due to moisture contamination and the lesions proximity to the pulp chamber. Accurately assessing the risk and implementing appropriate preventive strategies can reduce the need for complex restorative treatments and associated dental problems
