Evaluation of Preventive Regimens With Different Toothpastes vs Fluoride Varnish & Toothpaste in High Caries Patients
Evaluation of Prevention Potential of Preventive Regimens Containing Herbal-based and Fluoride-based Toothpastes Versus Fluoride Varnish and Fluoride Toothpaste Only in High Caries Risk Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Detailed Description
Dental caries is highly predominant worldwide. So, in addition to treating this caries, patients should be managed to avoid new caries. Preventive measures could be applied to the patients who are most expected to develop dental caries who are identified by caries risk assessment. Thus, effective caries risk assessment is essential to control new caries development.
Dental caries can be prevented by conducting appropriate measures; therefore, it is crucial to identify those who are most likely to have dental caries by caries risk assessment and giving them the essential preventive measures. Though some caries preventive measures have showed success in descriptive clinical trials, there is little information on their practicality with high caries risk groups in everyday usage.
Oral health is an essential part of general well being, people have used herbs in order to prevent dental diseases for centuries. In 2008 the Federal Council of Dentistry approved the use of medicinal plants for oral healthcare.
Medicinal plants can heal bacterial diseases as it is full of antimicrobial agents. They are becoming more popular than chemicals due to the side effects of synthetic antibiotics and the antibiotic resistance in microorganisms.
Studies propose that herbal extracts are highly effective against significant microorganism which cause dental caries like Streptococcus mutans. Herbal toothpaste decreases dental caries through combined effects of antibacterial agents, oral acid neutralisers and decreased plaque bacterial enzyme inhibitors present in the herbal toothpaste.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Caries risk assessment
Time Frame: Outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, after 1 week, after 4 weeks and after 12 weeks.
|
Change in caries risk assessment by "cariogram software" as each patient data is collected in order to be inserted into the "Cariogram software" which in turn will evaluate this data and lead to a pie chart showing the chance of avoiding new caries as percentage. This data includes caries experience, related diseases, diet content, fluoride program, salivary buffer capacity, saliva secretion rate, diet frequency, "Mutans streptococci" count, amount of plaque, and clinical examination. |
Outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, after 1 week, after 4 weeks and after 12 weeks.
