This study evaluates the effect of the deproteinization agents hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite upon the bonding of the two different pit and fissure sealant, self-adhesive flowable composites with the enamel. Thirty-six third molars were randomly divided into six different groups. The groups were formed as follows: Group 1: 37% phosphoric acid + Vertise Flow; Group 2: 200 ppm hypochlorous acid + 37% phosphoric acid Vertise Flow; Group 3: 5.

Methods: This study included 94 neonatologists and 137 anesthesiologist. The final version of the questionnaire included 15 items in three main parts: (i) personal information; (ii) awareness about oral complications occurring during and after the OTI in premature infants; (iii) knowledge and behavior regarding protection methods from these complications in clinical practice.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic success of Biodentine™ and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomy in primary molars.
Methods: Thirty-two four- to nine-year-olds were included in this study. The primary molars were randomly assigned to the Biodentine™ and MTA groups.

Purpose: To assess the responsiveness of the Family Impact Scale (FIS) to describe changes in quality of life (QoL) after traumatic dental injury (TDI), and compare the efficacy of subscales.
Materials And Methods: Parents of 110 children aged 7-15 admitted to the Gazi University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Paediatric Dentistry for dental trauma were included in this study. A three-part questionnaire was distributed to the participants: questions regarding personal information, TDI and QoL.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a three-in-one injection comfort system (ICS) and 10 percent lidocaine pump spray in reducing injection pain in children.
Methods: Fifty eight- to 12-year-old children treated at a university pediatric dental clinic participated in this study. The Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale was used to select nonanxious children to participate.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate some physical and chemical properties of MTA incorporated with antibacterial silver zeolite (SZ). 0%, 0.2% or 2% mass fraction of SZ was added to MTA powder.

Two examiners assessed 44 occlusal surfaces of first and second primary molars in 20 patients using two fluorescence devices: DIAGNOdent (LF) and DIAGNOdent pen (LFpen). Teeth were also assessed by visual examination and bitewing radiograph.

Purpose: This study was designed to assess dentists' knowledge of emergency treatment of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in Ankara, Turkey.
Materials And Methods: A total of 154 questionnaires were evaluated. The first part of the questionnaire consisted of questions regarding personal information.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial effect of a newly developed haemostatic agent Ankaferd Blood Stopper® (ABS) and Ferric Sulphate (FS) on various oral microorganisms.
Study Design: Bacterial strains were freshly incubated in their specific broth media. For each of the strains, 3 wells per each agent, with a 5 mm diameter were made under aseptic conditions in the specific agar media.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the reaction to pain during local injection and duration of numbness of soft tissue with 4% articaine or 3% mepivacaine in children.
Methods: A randomized, double-blind, split-mouth study was used with a sample of 50 7- to 13-year-old children (25 boys and 25 girls; mean age=11.3 years old) that had similar operative procedure needs in symmetric primary teeth.
The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine whether adding silver-zeolite (SZ) to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) would enhance the antimicrobial activity of MTA against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC #25923), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC #29212), Escherichia coli (ATCC#25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC #27853), Candida albicans (ATCC #90028), Porphyromonas gingivalis (ATCC #33277), Actinomyces israelii (ATCC #12102), and Prevotella intermedia (ATCC# 15032). SZ was added at 0.2% and 2% mass fraction concentration to MTA powder.

This tooth loss may be due to either trauma or caries and, in some cases, to congenital or genetic defects. With anterior tooth loss cases, there are several problems the dental practitioner must consider.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the plant extract ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) in vitro.
Study Design: ABS was eluted with fresh Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) without serum for 72 h, at 37 °C. The cells treated with various dilutions of ABS were seeded into 96-well microplate at 10⁴/well in triplicates.
