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.
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).

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.
