Does MIH Affects Preoperative and Intraoperative Hypersensitivity?

Objective: Hypersensitivity is an important problem that is encountered during the treatment of hypomineralized teeth. The aim of this prospective study was to compare responses to electrical pulp tests (EPTs) and cold tests among carious teeth with and without molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) before and after the administration of local anesthesia for caries removal Results: The EPT results of anesthetized carious teeth without MIH were significantly higher than those of carious teeth with MIH (p = 0.011).

Do really parents brush their children's teeth better?

Aim: Plaque removal from first permanent molar teeth was evaluated when conventional and a new silicone tooth and gum brush was used. Also, the effectiveness of parents' brushing was compared with childrens'.

Materials And Methods: Study design: This crossover clinical study was conducted with 9 children aged 5 to 7 years, with 18 mandibular first permanent molar teeth which were partially erupted.

Evaluation of the impact of early childhood caries, traumatic dental injury, and malocclusion on oral health-Related quality of life for Turkish preschool children and families.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the presence of early childhood caries (ECC), traumatic dental injury (TDI), and malocclusion, as well as severe conditions, on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of preschool children and families.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in children aged 1 to 6 years old, who attended to the Department of Paediatric Dentistry, Gazi University. The questionnaires were adapted to Turkish, and OHRQoL was measured using the Turkish version of Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (T-ECOHIS).

Two-year clinical performance of sonic-resin placement system in posterior restorations.

Objective: The objective of this split-mouth randomized controlled study was to compare the 2-year clinical performance of two restorative techniques and materials for posterior permanent carious teeth.

Method And Materials: After signing informed consent, 30 patients aged between 7 and 16 received two Class 1 restorations on cavities on permanent first or second molar teeth performed with one of two systems: incrementally placed conventional posterior composite resin (Herculite Ultra, Kerr), and sonic-resin placement system (SonicFill, Kerr) with single-component self-etch adhesive system (Kerr) according to the manufacturers' directions. Two blinded observers evaluated the restorations at three times (baseline, and after 1 and 2 years) according to the US Public Health Service modified criteria.
