    • Capping carious exposures in adults: a randomized controlled trial investigating mineral trioxide aggregate versus calcium hydroxide 

      Kundzina, Rita; Stangvaltaite, Lina; Eriksen, Harald; Kerosuo, Eero N (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-28)
      Aim:<br> The aim of this multicentre, parallel-group randomized clinical trial was to compare the effectiveness of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and a conventional calcium hydroxide liner (CH) as direct pulp capping materials in adult molars with carious pulpal exposure.<br> Methodology:<br> Seventy adults aged 18–55 years were randomly allocated to two parallel arms: MTA (White ProRoot, ...

    • The "deep caries" challenge. Prevalence and management of deep carious lesions in Northern Norway. 

      Stangvaltaite, Lina (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-10-22)
      The overall aim of this doctoral thesis was to increase the understanding and knowledge of the prevalence and management of deep carious lesions. The prevalence of dental caries in Norway was among the highest in the world in the middle of 20th century. Though it has significantly declined, there are indications that the prevalence of caries in Northern Norway is higher than in the rest of the ...

    • Light-curing units used in dentistry: factors associated with heat development – potential risk for patients 

      Mouhat, Mathieu; Mercer, James; Stangvaltaite, Lina; Ørtengren, Ulf Thore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-01)
      Objectives:<br>To investigate how heat development in the pulp chamber and coronal surface of natural teeth with and without cusps subjected to irradiance using light-emitting diode (LED)–light-curing units (LCUs) is associated with (i) irradiance, (ii) time, (iii) distance, and (iv) radiant exposure.<br> Materials and methods:<br>Three different LED-LCUs were used. Their irradiance was measured ...

    • Social gradients in oral and general health among adolescents in Northern Norway. A cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort study. 

      Stangvaltaite, Lina (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-29)
      Aim: To explore the social gradients in self-perceived oral and general health, caries experience and body mass index (BMI) in a Norwegian adolescent population. Methods: The data was retrieved from a population-based cohort study Fit Futures, which included all first-year high-school students aged 15-19 years, in two municipalities in Troms County, Northern Norway, in 2010-2011 (not including the ...
