Does the heat generated by fluorescence-aided caries excavation system effect the pulp temperature of primary teeth irreversibly? An evaluation of the temperature changes in the pulp chamber.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Fluorescence Aided Caries Excavation (FACE) and the remaining dentin thickness on the temperature changes of the pulp chamber.

Material And Methods: Freshly extracted deciduous molars and a pulpal microcirculation model were used in the study. The sample size was calculated according to power analyses (power at 90%) based on previous studies.

Temperature increases in primary teeth pulp chamber during polymerization of glass ionomer-based restorative materials.

Purpose: To evaluate the temperature changes in primary teeth pulp chambers of different dentin thicknesses during polymerization of four glass ionomer-based restorative materials.

Materials And Methods: Eighty extracted, caries‑free, primary molars were prepared as standardized Class I occlusal cavities with dentin thicknesses of 1 mm and 2 mm. Four glass ionomerbased restorative materials, Dyract XP, Photac Fil Quick Aplicap, Fuji II LC, and GCP Glass Fill, were placed in the cavities and cured with two light-curing units.

Cross-Sectional Analysis of Prevalence and Aetiological Factors of Dental Erosion in Turkish Children Aged 7-14 Years.

Purpose: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence, distribution, and the associated factors of tooth erosion in Turkish school children.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed on a representative sample of 473 children (aged 7-14 years) from 11 public schools in Turkey. Parents were asked to fill out a questionnaire to collect sociodemographic data.

The effect of different chelating agents on the push-out bond strength of proroot mta and endosequence root repair material.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 7% maleic acid (MA), and 10% citric acid (CA) on the push-out bond strength of ProRooT MTA and Endosequence Root Repair Material (ERRM) putty.

Materials And Methods: Eighty single-rooted extracted human teeth were instrumented to obtain a standardized immature teeth model. Based on the chelating agents tested, the specimens were randomly divided into three experimental groups: Group 1 (17% EDTA), Group 2 (7% MA), Group 3 (10% CA), and Group 4 (Positive Control) (n=20 for each group).
