The Impact of Anemia-Related Early Childhood Caries on Parents' and Children's Quality of Life.

: Today, oral diseases are well-known for their effects, not only on daily life but also on quality of life (QoL). Dental caries, especially early childhood caries (ECC), are considered a public health concern as regards their impact on the life quality of children and parents from multiple aspects. The present research was conducted to assess the effect of anemia on oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in terms of children and parents.

The Knowledge and Attitude of Parents About the Dental Treatment of Their Children During the New Type of Coronavirus Outbreak in Northern Cyprus.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude of parents living in Northern Cyprus about the oral care and dental treatments of their children during the outbreak of the new type of Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Methods: An online self-administered questionnaire was conducted consisting of 33 questions. A total of 256 parents participated in this study.

The Effectiveness of Laser-Activated Irrigation on the Apical Microleakage Qualities of MTA Repair HP and NeoMTA Plus in Simulated Immature Teeth: A Comparative Study.

There are limited data regarding the potential effect of erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser-activated irrigation (LAI) on the microleakage qualities of calcium silicate-based cements. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of LAI on the microleakage qualities of MTA Repair HP (MTA-HP) and NeoMTA Plus (Neo) used in root-end filling and to compare the antimicrobial effectiveness of MTA- HP. Two experimental sets were conducted: antimicrobial activity (agar diffusion test/at 24, 48 h) and microleakage (glucose leakage model/at 1st, 10th, 20th days).

Comparative evaluation of low-level laser therapy on proliferation of long-term cryopreserved human dental pulp cells isolated from deciduous and permanent teeth.

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the proliferative effect of low-level laser therapy on long-term cryopreserved dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). The DPSC and SHED were divided into 2 main groups according to gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAIAs) diode laser irradiation densities as 5 J/cm and 7 J/cm. Each main group was further divided into 4 groups according to laser irradiation periods as 0, 24, 48, 72 h groups.

Evaluation of low-level diode laser irradiation and various irrigant solutions on the biological response of stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth.

This study aimed to evaluate cytotoxic effects and the apoptosis of Gallium-Aluminum-Arsenide (GaAlAs) diode laser irradiation, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), ozonated water and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs). Cells were exposed to EDTA (5%, 8.5%, 17%), NaOCl (1%, 2.
