1-year Results of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization-affected Cases Treated with Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment: A Retrospective Study.

Aim And Background: Silver-modified atraumatic restorative treatment (SMART) can be an alternative method for molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH)-affected cases. The purpose of this study was to assess whether tooth location and cavity preparation affect the clinical success of MIH-affected permanent molars treated with the SMART technique.

Materials And Methods: Modified United States Public Health Service criteria were utilized for the analyzes.

Effect of the Different Dietary Supplements on the Average Surface Roughness and Color Stability of Direct Restorative Materials Used in Pediatric Dentistry.

Increased surface roughness and discoloration of the direct restorative materials used in pediatric patients affect the longevity of restorations and impair children's oral health. Many factors can alter these properties. One of these factors is the intake of dietary supplements.

Assessment of the biointeractivity of a novel vital pulp therapy agent derived from eggshell biowaste: An in vitro study.

This study aimed to assess the calcium (Ca) and hydroxyl (OH) ion-releasing ability, namely the biointeractivity of eggshell-derived hydroxyapatite (ESDHA) in comparison with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide (CH). ESDHA, MTA and CH samples (n = 10; 8 × 1.6 mm) were immersed in 10 mL of deionised water (37°C, pH 6.

Evaluation of the knowledge level of pediatricians on dental trauma and their awareness of the ToothSOS mobile application: A cross sectional study.

Background/aim: Pediatricians play an essential role in managing pediatric oral emergencies; hence, they should have accurate information on dental injuries. This study aimed to assess the knowledge level of pediatricians regarding traumatic dental injuries (TDI) and their awareness of the ToothSOS mobile application.

Materials And Methods: A survey comprising 10 questions was created on Google forms, and the links were sent to the participants via electronic mail and a mobile application.

In vitro caries-preventive effect of a mineralization-promoting peptide combined with fluoride gel on sound primary teeth.

Background: Mineralization-promoting peptide-3 (MPP3) is a new biomimetic remineralization agent.

Aim: To assess the remineralization efficiency of MPP3, either alone or in combination with fluoride gel.

Design: The samples were divided into four groups: control, 1.

Comparing the physical and mechanical properties of different biocompatible three-dimensional resin materials in possible use of dental appliances: An in vitro study.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the colour stability, water sorption, microhardness and water contact angle of two different 3D printing systems (SLA and DLP) in a possible use of producing paediatric and orthodontic dental appliances.

Materials And Methods: SLA and DLP printer systems produced a total of 160 disk samples with a diameter of 15.00 mm and a height of 2.

Effects of a mineralization-promoting peptide on the physical and chemical properties of mineral trioxide aggregate.

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been used widely in dentistry due to its sealing ability and biocompatibility. Delayed setting time is one of the major limitations of MTA. Various additives have been studied to further improve the properties of MTA with varied degrees of success.

Immunolocalization of fibronectin during reparative dentinogenesis in rat molor teeth after pulp capping with mineral trioxide aggregate or calcium hydroxide.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunolocalization of fibronectin during reparative dentinogenesis in rat teeth after pulp capping with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). The pulps of 72 upper and lower first molar teeth from 18 male Wistar rats were experimentally exposed. The pulps were capped with MTA or (Ca(OH)2); final restoration followed with zinc oxide and eugenol cement.

Effects of Antiseptics on Pulpal Healing under Calcium Hydroxide Pulp Capping: A Pilot Study.

Objectives: The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of three different antiseptic materials on healing processes of direct pulp therapies with Ca(OH)(2) histopathologically.

Methods: Twenty-eight upper and lower first molar teeth from 7 male Wistar rats were used in this study. Four cavities were prepared in each rat in four quadrants, and each quadrant represented different experimental groups.

Two-year study of alternative conservative treatment modalities for early anterior permanent tooth loss.

Premature tooth loss in children may consist of single or multiple, primary or permanent, and anterior or posterior units of the dentition. 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.

Treatment considerations for a patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: a case report.

Aim: This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a 6-year-old male ectodermal dysplasia (ED) patient diagnosed with hypodontia.

Background: ED is a hereditary disease characterized by a congenital dysplasia of one or more ectodermal structures and their accessory appendages. Common manifestations include defective hair follicles and eyebrows, frontal bossing with prominent supraorbital ridges, nasal bridge depression, and protuberant lips.
