MOLAR: Mapping Oral Health and Local Area Resources

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of a screening and linkage intervention for adverse social determinants of health (aSDoH) on oral health linkage to care for emergency department patients. Researchers will compare three groups: Patients in Arm A will receive paper handouts with general oral health and aSDoH resources. Patients in Arm B will receive paper handouts with geographically-proximate oral health and aSDoH resources. Patients in Arm C will receive geographically-proximate oral health and aSDoH resources plus active navigational assistance.

Antimicrobial Effect of Tropolone Containing Versus Tropolone Free Mouthwash

The objective of this study is to compare the effect of Tropolone containing mouthwash versus CHX 0.2% mouthwash in reducing intraoral microorganism. Randomized clinical trial study

Clinical Registry of Long-Term Dental Outcomes in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

The current study (ORARAD II) will examine participants of the original cohort for a visit roughly 7 years after the start of RT. The primary outcomes will be the 7-year rate of dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss, osteoradionecrosis and salivary flow.

Virtual Reality Distraction for Dental Anxiety (RCT)

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to verify the efficacy of VR immersion over a muted cartoon on a wall-mounted TV to decrease dental fear and anxiety of children undergoing dental procedures. The study also aims to gain insight on the satisfaction of parents and healthcare providers on the use of VR during dental appointments. Main research question: Does VR immersion compare to a cartoon on a wall-mounted TV is more efficacious to decrease dental fear and anxiety of children requiring dental procedures? Participants will be playing through a VR immersive game wearing a eye-tracking VR headset that requires no movement of the head to play, facilitating the dental procedure. The investigators will take measures of the stress levels of participants and their parents using a validated stress scale and also by taking salivary samples to verify the levels of a stress biomarker (alpha-amylase).

Effectiveness and Safety of Collagen Membrane (FormaAid®) in the Treatment of Periodontal Regeneration

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate clinically and radiographically effectiveness and products safety of the collagen membrane (FormaAid®) in the treatment of periodontal regeneration using guided tissue regeneration (GTR) performed by the trained periodontists. The main question it aims to answer are: * The difference of periodontal status: clinical attachment level (CAL), periodontal pocket depth (PPD), gingival recession (GR), gingival Index (GI) and plaque index (PI). * The difference of intrabony defect height. * The difference of gingival tissue thickness and gingival tissue volume. * The incidences of safety indicators. Participants will be randomized into either experiment group or control group, undergo guided tissue regeneration (GTR) surgery at week 1, and re-visited on week 3, 5, 13 and 27 after the GTR surgery. Researchers will compare if the test product is non-inferior to Bio-Gide.

Dental Dyschromia and Quality of Life in Early Prolonged Hyperbilirubinemia

The main objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of dental discoloration (dental dyschromia) in children who experienced high levels of bilirubin in their blood (hyperbilirubinemia) during their early years. The study will also examine risk factors associated with this condition, such as the duration and severity of hyperbilirubinemia, underlying diseases, and treatments received. The researchers hypothesize that the quality of life of individuals with dental dyschromia is lower than that of individuals without dyschromia. The results of this study will be used to discuss coverage for dental care with health insurance for children affected by this condition.

Articaine Efficacy and Safety for 3 Years Old Children

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the local anesthetic efficacy and safety of 4% Articaine compared 2% Mepivicaine in 3 years old children, by using infiltration technique for primary teeth that required restorative, pulp therapy, or dental extraction procedure, as assessed by measuring the pain experience during injection and treatment procedures, child's behavior during the procedure, and postoperative complications.

Soft Tissue Graft Over Immediately Placed Dental Implant in Maxillary Molar Socket

Compare between free tissue graft of buccal pad of fat BFP and free palatal gingival tissue graft for primary soft tissue closure over immediately placed dental implant

Music During Dental Children Care Under MEOPA

In France, the improvement of dental care for children in general and even more so for children with special needs is a real public health issue. Indeed, children under 6 years of age, children with a fear that is difficult to control and who have failed to receive care, or children with disabilities, have difficulties in receiving care. Because of their medical wandering before effective therapeutic care, they are up to 4 times more likely to have a very degraded oral health condition involving avulsions rather than conservative care. Moreover, these complex situations often lead to the indication of dental care under conscious sedation with an equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (MEOPA) or even under general anesthesia (GA); hospital sedation by administration of midazolam is exceptionally proposed. As access to GA care is largely insufficient, solutions likely to improve the success rate of care and anxiolysis provided by MEOPA associated with cognitive-behavioral management must be considered. Among these, music has been shown to have variable neurophysiological effects (action on cardiac and respiratory rhythms and on blood pressure), depending on the style of music used. During dental care, a biological and psychological impact on emotion has been highlighted, although the few studies carried out in children in this particular context are not at a high level of proof. In children with special needs, the addition of music to MEOPA could therefore increase relaxation or distraction during dental care and improve the success rate of sedation by MEOPA. Validation of this hypothesis would limit the redirection of the young patient under GA and prevent the loss of opportunity associated with a further delay in care of several months.

Clinical Evaluation of Full Contour Zirconia Chairside CAD/CAM Crowns

This investigation will be a randomized, prospective, longitudinal clinical trial to study the clinical performance of a new monolithic, zirconia material with shade, translucency and material graduation for chairside CAD/CAM crowns. The restorations will be luted either with a self-adhesive luting material or a conventional cement. The crowns will be evaluated for a period of two years.
