The effectiveness of Carie-Care™, chemomechanical caries removal technique in primary teeth: randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Chemomechanical techniques for caries removal have been introduced to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional rotatory instruments. This study aimed to clinically evaluate the effectiveness of the chemomechanical method of caries removal (Carie-Care™) over mechanical caries removal through the Atraumatic Restorative Technique in pediatric patients.

Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted.

Antibacterial effect and impact on caries activity of nanosilver fluoride and silver diamine fluoride in dentin caries of primary teeth: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: The use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in caries treatment in children has increased despite the disadvantage of causing tooth discoloration. Nanosilver fluoride (NSF) is a possible alternative. This study aimed to assess the antibacterial effect of NSF and SDF and their impact on the activity of dentin caries in primary teeth.

The antibacterial effect of nanosilver fluoride in relation to caries activity in primary teeth: a protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Minimally invasive dentistry is a highly convenient and efficient method of managing caries in pediatric patients. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is commonly used to arrest active caries lesions. However, the associated black stain, possibility of soft tissue injury, and unpleasant taste often limit its use.

Assessment of risk factors and molecular biomarkers in children with supernumerary teeth: a single-center study.

Background: Supernumerary teeth are considered one of the commonly observed dental anomalies in children. Several theories have been proposed to explain the presence of supernumerary teeth, including environmental and genetic factors. This study aimed to identify the different risk factors and molecular biomarkers in patients presented with supernumerary teeth.

Intranasal versus sublingual route of dexmedetomidine sedation in paediatric dentistry: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Many children experience dental anxiety during dental treatment. Conscious sedation is used to alleviate anxiety and enhance a child's cooperation.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of intranasal versus sublingual dexmedetomidine.

Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Fluoride Varnish in Remineralization of Early Carious Lesions in Primary Dentition: Randomized Clinical Trial.

Casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride varnish (commercially available as MI Varnish) is a promising minimally invasive remineralizing agent. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of intensive application of MI and sodium fluoride (commercially available as Duraphat Varnish) varnishes on white spot lesion remineralization. This randomized controlled clinical trial included a sample of 44 healthy three- to five-year-old children with at least four active white spot lesions on their anterior primary teeth.

Tailored 70S30C Bioactive glass induces severe inflammation as pulpotomy agent in primary teeth: an interim analysis of a randomised controlled trial.

Objectives: This study compared clinical, histologic, and inflammatory outcomes of Biodentine and Bioactive glass (70S30C-BAG) as pulpotomy agents in primary teeth.

Methods: A randomised, clinical trial was performed recruiting 70 children, 5-9 years old, having ≥ 1 tooth indicated for vital pulpotomy. Participants were randomised to Biodentine or 70S30C-BAG groups.

Antimicrobial Effect of Propolis Administered through Two Different Vehicles in High Caries Risk Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: To investigate the effect of two methods of propolis administration on plaque accumulation and microbial count as well as patient acceptance of each vehicle.

Study Design: A randomized clinical trial with two parallel arms was used with a sample of 60 high caries risk children 6-8 years old. Children were divided randomly into two groups.

Pain assessment during mandibular nerve block injection with the aid of dental vibe tool in pediatric dental patients: a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of DentalVibe in pain reduction during local anesthetic injection compared to traditional injection in pediatric patients.

Method And Materials: This cross-over randomized controlled clinical trial included a sample of 60 children, aged 5 to 7 years, who were selected based on the need for local anesthesia for bilateral mandibular pulpotomy treatment. They were randomly allocated into two groups.

Exposure to Electronic Screens and Children's Anxiety and Behavior During Dental Treatment.

The purposes of this study were to (1) assess the relationship between exposure time to electronic screens and children's anxiety and behavior manage ment problems during dental treatment; and (2) evaluate the effect of the underlying confounding factors.
A cross-sectional study of 95 five- to eight-year-old patients was conducted. The study consisted of two sessions, one week apart.

Efficacy of two mouth rinse sprays in inhibiting growth on toothbrush bristles.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of two types of mouth rinse sprays (Periogard and Plax) in inhibiting the growth of on toothbrush bristles used by children.

Methods: An experimental comparative study was performed. The sample included 60 children aged 6-8 years with high caries index.

Comparison between Positive Dental Images and Neutral Images in Managing Anticipatory Anxiety of Children.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of positive images versus neutral images on child behavior during dental treatment and their dental anxiety after dental treatment.

Study Design: Sixty, 4 to 6 year old healthy pediatric dental patients, indicated for pulpotomy and stainless steel crown restorations, were divided randomly into two equal groups. Group I (experimental group viewed positive dental images and group II (control group) viewed neutral cartoon images prior to treatment.

Acid Resistance of Enamel Subsurface Lesions Treated with Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Fluoride.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acid resistance of enamel subsurface lesions treated with casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF).

Methods: Fifty extracted primary molars with a standardized window on enamel were immersed in a demineralizing solution for 72 hours to produce subsurface enamel lesions. They were sectioned in a buccolingual direction; one half of the sample was treated with the remineralizing agent CPP-ACPF and the other half remained untreated (control group).

Histological evaluation of pulpotec effect on pulpotomized primary teeth in puppies.

Aim: The present study was conducted to histologically evaluate the inflammatory response of dental pulp to Pulpotec versus Formocresol in primary teeth of puppies.

Methods: The study was conducted on 24 primary molars of three Mongrel puppies between the ages of six to ten weeks. The mouth of each puppy was divided into two halves; the teeth on the left half were treated using the Pulpotec while those on the right half were treated with the Formocresol.
