การศึกษาผลของวัสดุบูรณะที่ปลดปล่อยแร่ธาตุต่อการคืนแร่ธาตุในรอยผุระยะเริ่มต้น ของฟันกรามน้ำนมซี่ข้างเคียงในห้องปฏิบัติการ, ดนุธิดา สาเขตร์

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

การศึกษาในห้องปฏิบัติการนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อเปรียบเทียบการคืนแร่ธาตุในรอยผุระยะเริ่มต้นของชิ้นฟันที่สัมผัสกับวัสดุบูรณะคลาสทูด้วยนาโนคอมโพสิตแคลเซียมฟอสเฟต (Predicta™ bioactive bulk) กับซีเมนต์กลาสส์ไอโอโนเมอร์ (Equia Forte®) และเรซินคอมโพสิตชนิดไม่ปลดปล่อยฟลูออไรด์ (Filtek™ Z350) เป็นกลุ่มควบคุม โดยใช้ชิ้นฟันน้ำนมจำนวน 60 ชิ้นจากด้านแก้มของฟันกรามน้ำนมที่ถูกถอน 60 ซี่มาสร้างรอยผุระยะเริ่มต้นที่กึ่งกลางของชิ้นฟัน นำชิ้นฟันตัวอย่างมาวัดร้อยละการสูญเสียฟลูออเรสเซนต์ (∆F) เริ่มต้นด้วยเครื่องวัดฟลูออเรสเซนต์ที่เกิดจากแสงเชิงปริมาณชนิดดิจิทัล เรียงลำดับร้อยละการสูญเสียฟลูออเรสเซนต์เริ่มต้นจากชิ้นฟันที่สูญเสียแร่ธาตุน้อยไปมาก สุ่มชิ้นฟันออกเป็น 3 กลุ่ม นำชิ้นฟันไปติดกับบล็อกอะคริลิกที่บูรณะด้านประชิดด้วยวัสดุบูรณะทั้ง 3 ชนิด แล้วเข้ากระบวนการเลียนแบบสภาวะในช่องปากเป็นเวลา 14 วัน จากนั้นวิเคราะห์ปริมาณการคืนแร่ธาตุโดยวัสดุบูรณะแต่ละชนิด ด้วยการเปรียบเทียบค่าเฉลี่ยของการเปลี่ยนแปลงร้อยละของการสูญเสียฟลูออเรสเซนต์ (∆∆F) และค่าเฉลี่ยของการเปลี่ยนแปลงปริมาตรการสูญเสียฟลูออเรสเซนต์ (∆∆Q) ผลการศึกษาพบว่าทั้งค่า ∆∆F และค่า ∆∆Q ของทุกกลุ่มมีความแตกต่างอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ โดยกลุ่มซีเมนต์กลาสส์ไอโอโนเมอร์ มีการคืนแร่ธาตุแก่ชิ้นฟันสูงที่สุด ส่วนกลุ่มนาโนคอมโพสิตแคลเซียมฟอสเฟตมีการสูญเสียแร่ธาตุของชิ้นฟันเล็กน้อย ซึ่งน้อยกว่ากลุ่มควบคุม คือเรซินคอมโพสิตชนิดไม่ปลดปล่อยฟลูออไรด์อย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ สรุปได้ว่าการบูรณะด้วยวัสดุซีเมนต์กลาสไอโอโนเมอร์ สามารถคืนแร่ธาตุให้ฟันซี่ข้างเคียงได้ดีที่สุด แต่ในกรณีที่รอยผุหรือโพรงฟันคลาสทูมีขนาดใหญ่ นาโนคอมโพสิตแคลเซียมฟอสเฟตก็ถือเป็นวัสดุหนึ่งที่เป็นทางเลือกในการใช้ทดแทนเรซินคอมโพสิตชนิดไม่ปลดปล่อยฟลูออไรด์ เนื่องจากใช้งานง่าย มีความแข็งแรงและความสวยงามเทียบเท่ากับเรซินคอมโพสิต นอกจากนี้ยังช่วยยับยั้งการลุกลามของรอยผุระยะเริ่มต้นในฟันซี่ข้างเคียงได้ดีกว่าเรซินคอมโพสิตชนิดไม่ปลดปล่อยฟลูออไรด์

Understanding And Assessing Dental Anxiety And Fear In Malaysia, Rashidah Esa

Student Works (2020-2029)

Dental anxiety refers to a vague, unpleasant feeling that something undesirable awaits whereas dental fear is a normal response to a threat or danger. Anticipation of a dental visit can induce dental anxiety whereas the most fear-provoking situations were the sight of injection needles and the drilling procedures. Nevertheless, the terms are often used interchangeably. Dental anxiety and fear (DAF) are perpetual problems worldwide and their assessment is important to assist dentists in the management of highly anxious patients. In Malaysia, more studies are needed to add to the growing body of DAF research. The aim of this thesis was …

Using Active Learning Techniques To Improve Oral Health Literacy Among Children In Vulnerable Populations., Sarah Maria Downes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examines the effectiveness of an active learning approach in improving oral health literacy and attitude about science among at-risk students in the age range of third to sixth grades. This is done by designing and implementing a novel Oral Health Outreach module and video. Active learning components include engaging PowerPoint, oral hygiene discussion and demonstration, and finally a biofilm simulation, which utilizes glow-in-the-dark paint, dentoform models, and black lights that allow students to visualize the importance of plaque removal. Student comprehension of oral health concepts increased by an average of 52.4% on post-tests (n=61, p
