Enamel caries

This completed study tested a surgical technique called the combined bilaminar tunnel method for treating gum recession in patients with challenging tooth anatomy. Twelve participants received the procedure and were followed for six months. The goal was to see how much of the exp…

This study tested two types of dental fillings for cavities and tooth wear at the gum line in 20 professional ballet dancers. One filling was a ceramic-like material (PICN) and the other was a self-hardening composite. Over 24 months, the ceramic fillings had zero failures, while…

This study tested a product called DoReMin to see if it can help repair early tooth decay (white spot lesions). 43 adults with at least two early cavities on different teeth took part. One tooth was treated with DoReMin, while a similar tooth was left untreated for comparison. Re…

This study tested two types of dental fillings for cavities that form near the gum line on front teeth. Fifty adults received either an alkasite-based resin composite or a resin modified glass ionomer filling. Dentists checked the fillings right away, at 6 months, and at 1 year t…

This study tested three different toothpastes to see how well they prevent cavities. Thirty-six healthy adults wore a special dental device for six weeks, and researchers measured changes in enamel hardness. The goal was to find which toothpaste best protects teeth from decay.

This study tested four different tooth-colored filling materials for small cavities on the chewing surface of back teeth. Ten people received each type of filling, and researchers checked how well they held up over two years. The goal was to see which material performed best and …

This study tested two treatments for white spot lesions on teeth, which are common after braces. One uses a self-assembling peptide with fluoride to rebuild enamel, and the other uses a protective coating that releases minerals. Forty-four people with at least two white spots wer…

This study tested three different products (CPP-ACP, nano-hydroxyapatite, and fluoride varnish) against regular fluoride toothpaste to see which best prevents white spots on teeth near clear aligner attachments. Forty people completed the 6-month study. Researchers used a special…

This study tested a new fluoride product to see if it can help remineralize white spot lesions—early signs of tooth decay. Twenty-three people with at least two active spots on their front teeth or premolars received both the experimental treatment and a standard fluoride varnish…

This study tested four methods for finding early tooth decay in children aged 6 to 14. Researchers compared standard visual inspection with three special tools that use light or lasers. The goal was to see which method works best for spotting cavities that haven't yet formed a ho…

This study tested a Turkish version of the Johns Hopkins In-Room Independence Scale, which measures a patient's ability to move, use the toilet, and think clearly while in their hospital room. Researchers worked with 100 adults who had conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or ampu…

This study tested whether probiotic lozenges can prevent white spots (early cavities) that often appear around braces. 75 healthy people with braces took part. Some used probiotic lozenges, some used a control lozenge, and some had no extra treatment. The researchers measured new…

This study tested whether having a dental assistant visit older adults at home every three months for professional cleaning and high-fluoride toothpaste could prevent root cavities. 194 home-living adults aged 65+ who needed daily care took part. The goal was to see if this appro…

This study tested two ways to treat early white spot lesions on teeth in 30 teenagers aged 12 to 18. Each participant received both a resin infiltration and a microabrasion treatment on different teeth to see which worked better. The goal was to improve the appearance and stop th…

This study looked at how common muscle and posture problems are in physiotherapy students and whether a special physiotherapy program could help. 44 students with back pain and muscle tightness received treatments like trigger point release, stretching, and joint mobilization. Th…

This study looked at whether letting patients control their own sedation during arm surgery under regional anesthesia leads to higher satisfaction compared to having an anesthesiologist control it. 70 adults having upper limb orthopedic surgery were randomly assigned to either pa…

This study translated the Generic Functional Index, a questionnaire that measures how well people can do daily activities, into Turkish. Researchers tested it with 200 adults who have muscle or joint problems to see if it is accurate and reliable. The goal is to give Turkish-spea…

This study looked at whether kissing can protect teeth from cavities. After drinking acidic beverages, one group kissed their partner for 40 seconds while a control group did not. Researchers measured saliva pH every 5 minutes to see if kissing helped neutralize acid faster. The …

This study looked at 209 older adults (ages 50-70) taking blood pressure medication to see how many had cavities on the roots of their teeth. Researchers also checked saliva acidity and other risk factors. The goal was to understand if these medications are linked to root cavitie…

This study tested whether specially trained physiotherapists can safely diagnose and treat non-urgent muscle and joint pain in the emergency room, compared to standard care from doctors. 102 patients with back, neck, or shoulder pain were randomly assigned to either a physiothera…

This completed study compared how well people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), people with other muscle or bone pain, and healthy individuals can imagine movements. Researchers used a questionnaire called the MIQ-RS to measure motor imagery skills. The goal was to see …

This study surveyed 116 adults with chronic pain at a rehabilitation clinic to understand how their pain beliefs, spiritual well-being, and attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine are related. Participants filled out several questionnaires about their pain, mood, …

This study looked at 45 people with braces to see if different toothpastes change tooth color or cause white spots. Participants used one of three toothpastes: Colgate Total, Curaprox, or ROCS. Researchers used 3D scans and special fluorescence photos to measure color changes ove…
