Tooth resorption

This study tested two types of fillings for deep cavities in back teeth: a new bioactive material and a standard non-bioactive one. Fifty adults aged 18-40 with deep cavities were treated using a technique that removes only the decayed part. The researchers checked tooth sensitiv…

This study tested a chlorhexidine varnish applied to teeth in people with braces. Each person's mouth was split: one side got the active varnish, the other a placebo. Over 3 months, researchers measured gum overgrowth, plaque buildup, and early tooth decay (white spots). The goal…

This study tested three ways to stop early cavities in children's baby molars: fluoride varnish alone, a resin coating alone, or both together. Twenty-six kids aged 4 to 9 with very early, non-cavitated cavities were treated and checked over 12 months. The goal was to see which a…

This study tested whether injecting a substance made from a patient's own blood—called injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF)—could reduce root shortening that sometimes happens when wearing braces. Thirty-six adults with crowded front teeth received either i-PRF or a saltwater …

This study compared two dental procedures—Hall technique and modified Hall technique—for treating deep cavities in baby molars of 268 children aged 3-12. The goal was to see which method had better clinical and X-ray success. Researchers also looked at how the amount of tooth dam…

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 injecting vitamins C or E into the gums could help teeth move faster during braces treatment. 51 patients received either vitamin C, vitamin E, or a placebo injection every two weeks to a month for six months. Researchers measured tooth movement, pain, a…

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 tested whether a near-infrared LED device can reduce pain, speed up tooth movement, and lower the risk of root damage in people wearing braces. Sixteen Vietnamese patients aged 11 to 30 received either the real LED device or a sham device during their orthodontic treat…

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 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 study looked at whether using a hard laser during orthodontic retraction (moving front teeth backward) helps preserve the bone around the tooth roots and reduces root damage. Twenty patients with certain bite problems had teeth retracted either with or without laser assistan…

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, …
