Article Synopsis
- Traditional pulp testing relies on neural responses, which limits its effectiveness; this study creates a modified dental sensor using a finger pulse oximeter to evaluate tooth vitality through oxygen saturation levels.
- Involving 300 children, the study categorized 600 teeth into groups and measured systemic and pulp oxygen saturation levels, finding significant differences in oxygen saturation among the various groups.
- The custom pulse oximeter effectively measured oxygen saturation in teeth, showing it can accurately assess pulp vitality across different developmental stages, making it a valuable tool in pediatric dentistry.
Background And Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of three-point acupressure therapy in decreasing the dental anxiety in children undergoing dental procedures and to introduce acupressure as a simple, noninvasive, and cost-effective technique of reducing dental anxiety in children.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and sixty-eight, 8-12 years participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allotted to either group I (three-point acupressure) ( = 84) or group II (control) ( = 84). All children were subjected to a self-report measure of anxiety [Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale (MCDAS)] 30 minutes before starting and after completing the dental treatment.
Aim: Intracanal posts enhance the resistance of the restoration to mechanical loads and masticatory forces in primary teeth with extensive carious breakdown. This study was done to investigate the clinical performance of composite resin restoration retained by either glass fiber post or biological post in the restoration of primary anterior teeth with extensive carious lesions.
Materials And Methods: A total of 21 children (with 82 primary anterior teeth) who met the inclusion criteria were involved in the study.
Aim: Considering the advantages of the nonpharmacotherapeutic techniques over the disadvantages of the pharmacotherapeutic agents, there is a need to evaluate clinically as well as radiographically various nonpharmacotherapeutic techniques to fortify them as replacements to the traditional pulpotomy. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of low-level diode laser (LLDL) and electrosurgical pulpotomy in primary molars.
Materials And Methods: Seventy primary molars were allocated to group I ( = 35) and group II ( = 35), which underwent LLDL pulpotomy and electrosurgical pulpotomy, respectively.
Background: The present study evaluated the clinical and radiographic outcomes of Biodentine pulpotomy for 24 months in symptomatic vital mature permanent teeth with caries exposure.
Methods: Seventy-three patients with a chief complaint of spontaneous pain in permanent teeth were screened. Finally, 47 mature permanent teeth underwent a Biodentine pulpotomy procedure.
Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of Intellectual color game, Audio-Visual and Stress Ball distraction methods on gagging and anxiety management in children.
Study Design: One hundred eight children, between 5 and 12 years of age, with gag reflex score ranging from G1 to G3 requiring upper and lower alginate impressions for diagnostic purpose were included in the study. The baseline gagging score (G0) and baseline anxiety (A0) was recorded for included children.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the intracanal effectiveness of cryotherapy, curcumin irrigant, and normal saline as a final irrigant in reducing postendodontic pain in primary teeth.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 teeth between the ages of 4 and 7 years requiring pulpectomy in primary teeth were included in the study. The teeth were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups: intracanal cryotherapy using 2.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of diluted silver diamine fluoride (1:10) and light cure calcium hydroxide as indirect pulp capping agents in primary molars.
Study Design: Fifty-six primary molars requiring indirect pulp treatment were randomly allocated to two groups: Dilute SDF (one drop of SDF mixed with 9 drops of distilled water giving a 1:10 dilution) and light cure calcium hydroxide. The indirect pulp treatment was followed by glass ionomer cement restoration and all primary molars received stainless steel crown as full coverage restoration.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the conditioning effects of phosphoric acid/5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) mixture, 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) digluconate, and 10% polyacrylic acid on cavosurface microleakage and bond strength of glass ionomer (GI) restorations.
Materials And Methods: Out of 68 extracted premolars, 34 teeth were selected for microleakage and 34 for bond strength evaluation.
