Effect of Dexmedetomidine with or without Midazolam during procedural dental sedation in children: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Dental anxiety is a global problem in the realm of pediatric dentistry. The use of procedural sedation is recommended to avoid substandard or unsafe dental treatment in preschoolers. This study aimed to compare the effect sedation with Dexmedetomidine with or without Midazolam in terms of sedation level, analgesic effect and ease of treatment completion in preschool children.

Sedative and behavioral effects of atomized intranasal midazolam in comparison with nebulized midazolam for children undergoing dental treatment: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Fear and anxiet are significant barriers of dental care in children. Sedation emerged as a valuable behaviour guidance technique to manage uncooperative children.

Aim: To evaluate the sedative and behavioral effectiveness of midazolam administered via nebulizer in comparison with intranasal atomizer in the behavior management of anxious children during dental treatment.

Effect of sonic oscillation on penetration and marginal adaptation of filled-resin-based fissure sealants.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of sonic oscillation on penetration depth and marginal adaptation of resin-based fissure sealants.

Method And Materials: Thirty-six extracted human third molars were randomized into three groups: in the HF group, teeth were sealed with a filled-resin-based sealant (Helioseal F); in the Sonic-HF group, teeth were sealed with Helioseal F and subjected to sonic oscillation (Compothixo Device, 140 Hz vibration frequency and ± 150 µm amplitude) before curing; in the CO group, teeth were sealed with an unfilled-resin-based sealant (Clinpro). All teeth were thermocycled for 1,500 cycles at 5°C and 55°C, then sectioned buccolingually into four sections (mesial, two middle, and distal).

Improving oral health-related quality of life for a child with Hunter's syndrome: A case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Hunter's syndrome (HS) is a severe metabolic disorder with heterogeneous multisystemic manifestations including orodental features. The heterogeneity of manifestations of HS, complicate the provision of proper dental care.

Case Report: A 12 years old male was diagnosed with HS and referred for a comprehensive oral rehabilitation after he failed to receive proper dental care.
