Prospective analysis of factors associated with dental behavior management problems, in children aged 7-11 years.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of child behavior management problems (BMP) and to analyze the influence and predictive power of nondental and dental background variables on BMP.

Study Design: Prospective analytical study.

Materials And Methods: The study group included 165 children aged 7-11 years who received comprehensive dental treatment, after obtaining written informed consent.

Evaluation of remineralizing potential of commercially available child formula dentifrices: an in vitro study.

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the remineralizing potential of commercially available low fluoride child formula dentifrice on primary teeth.

Materials And Methods: Total 30 primary teeth were placed in demineralizing solution for 96 hours to produce artificial carious lesions of approximately 100 μm depth, and then cut longitudinally into 30 sections of 100-150 μm thickness and randomly assigned to three groups. Sections were treated with dentifrices containing Colgate ® (anti tooth decay) 500 ppm NaF, Cheerio gel ® 458 ppm MFP and Vicco ® non-fluoridated dentifrice.

An in vitro study to evaluate the effect of two ethanol-based and two acetone-based dental bonding agents on the bond strength of composite to enamel treated with 10% carbamide peroxide.

Background And Objective: Carbamide peroxide bleaching has been implicated in adversely affecting the bond strength of composite to enamel. The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of ethanol-based (Clearfil S 3 bond, Kuraray, Adper Single bond 2, 3M ESPE dental products) and acetone-based (Prime and Bond NT, Dentsply, One Step, Bisco) bonding agents on the shear bond strength of composite to enamel treated with 10% carbamide peroxide bleaching agent.

Materials And Methods: A total of 120 extracted human noncarious permanent incisors were randomly divided into two groups (control and experimental).

Pediatric oral pulse granuloma: A rare entity.

A pulse granuloma is nothing but a reaction of the foreign body to any vegetable which is characterized by a collection of the hyaline; a hyaline is a transparent substance that is formed from the pathological degeneration of the tissue. These granulomatous rings may be oral or extra-oral. It is important to recognize such a type of granuloma because it may resemble serious pathological processes or may clinically stimulate neoplasia.

Infantile hemiplegia in pediatric dental set-up.

Infantile hemiplegia refers to brain injuries that occur before or at birth and lead to hemiplegia/ total paralysis of one side of the body, including the face, arm and leg. The main purpose of this article is to provide valuable information to pediatric dentists about the review and treatment alternatives for patients with infantile hemiplegia. This article reports the case of a 12-year-old girl with a hemiplegia of left side of the body suffering with tooth ache and gum inflammation.
