Normal Saline or Sodium Hypochlorite Irrigation for Vital Pulp Therapy? A Non-Inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial.

criteria were randomized to each irrigant, 65 in the NaOCl and 60 in the NSS groups. ProRoot® MTA was used as a pulp dressing material in both groups and teeth were followed for 12 months. The primary outcome was the success of VPT; requiring both clinical and radiographic success to be considered as success.

Outcomes of coronal pulpotomy on permanent first molars in children: a retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To investigate the survival probability of permanent first molars (PFMs) after coronal pulpotomy (CP) using two outcome definitions: success-focused and functional survival-focused, and to identify factors influencing tooth survival.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study reviewing records of children undergoing CP with calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs) on PFMs. Each CP-treated PFM was classified as success, uncertain, failure, or censored.

Tooth Fracture and Associated Risk Factors in Permanent Molars Treated with Vital Pulp Therapy and Restored with Direct Resin Composites: A Retrospective Survival Analysis in Young Patients.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the survival from fractures and risk factors of VPT-treated permanent molars restored with direct resin composites in young patients.

Methods: The dental records of patients aged 6 to 18 years with VPT-treated permanent molars restored with resin composites were retrospectively evaluated for the presence of fractures on these teeth. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate the survival probabilities.

Longevity of stainless steel crowns as interim restorations on young permanent first molars that have undergone vital pulp therapy treatment in children and factors associated with their treatment failure: A retrospective study of up to 8.5 years.

Background: Although stainless steel crowns (SSCs) on permanent molars are a common interim full-coverage restoration, there are few clinical studies on longevity.

Aim: To evaluate the longevity of SSCs as restorations on young permanent first molars (PFMs) that have undergone vital pulp therapy (VPT) treatment and to identify factors associated with SSC treatment failure.

Design: This study conducted a retrospective chart review of children who had PFMs that have undergone VPT treatment and been restored with SSCs.

Efficacy of Probiotic Milk for Caries Regression in Preschool Children: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

This multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the efficacy of daily or triweekly consumption of reconstituted milk powder, containing Lactobacillus paracaseiSD1, in preschool children for caries prevention. A 6-month intervention was conducted in 487 children (aged 37.6 ± 9.
