Microleakage of glass ionomer based restorative materials in primary teeth: An study.

Aim: Using AutoCAD, we examined the microleakage of dye at the edges of primary-teeth restorations using three glass ionomer-based restorative materials.

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 extracted noncarious primary molars were used. Class V cavities were adjusted on the buccal surfaces.

Prevalence of traumatic dental injuries and associated factors among 8 to 12-years-old schoolchildren in Diyarbakir, Turkey.

Background And Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of traumatic injuries of the permanent incisors in public primary schoolchildren from 8 to 12 years old in South-Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. Additionally, the relationship between traumatic dental injuries, parents' education level, family income, size of incisal overjet and the presence of anterior open bite were examined.

Materials And Methods: Data were collected through oral examinations and structured interviews, and included socio-economic indicators.

Comparison of apical microleakage of dual-curing resin cements with fluid-filtration and dye extraction techniques.

Background: Endodontically treated teeth with excessive loss of tooth structure are frequently restored using fiber posts. In this in vitro study, the apical leakage of self- and dual-activated curing modes for dual-curing resins cementing a translucent fiber post was evaluated using computerized fluid filtration meter and dye extraction method.

Material And Methods: One hundred and four extracted human maxillary incisors with single root and canal were used.

The reliability of microleakage studies using dog and bovine primary teeth instead of human primary teeth.

Aim: This was to investigate if dental restorations on human, dog and bovine primary teeth are equitable for microleakage analysis, and the respective marginal adaptation deficiency in in vitro conditions.

Materials And Methods: In order to determine the level of microleakage in Class V poly acid-modified composite restorations of human, dog and bovine primary teeth, samples were evaluated by dye-leakage method in sections of the inner area of the restorations.

Results: We found no leakage in 6 out of 10 (60%) human restorations, in 7 out of 10 (70%) of dog and in 7 out of 10 (70%) of bovine teeth.

Incisor trauma in a Turkish preschool population: prevalence and socio-economic risk factors.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of traumatic injuries of the primary incisors in preschool children from 2 to 5 years old in South-Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. Additionally, the relationship between traumatic dental injuries, parents' education level, family income, size of incisal overjet and the presence of anterior open bite were examined.

Basic Research Design: A cross-sectional survey

Clinical Settings: Data were collected through oral examinations and structured interviews, and included socio-economic indicators.
