Effect of Multivitamins on the Color Stability of Dental Materials Used in Pediatric Dentistry: An In Vitro Study.

The longevity and acceptance of aesthetic dental materials are directly proportional to color stability. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the use of multivitamins and the color stability of dental restorative materials. A total of 45 discs of nanohybrid composite, 45 of Reinforced Glass Ionomer (RGI), and 45 of Giomer were prepared.

A Retrospective Analysis of 1311 Oral Surgery Procedures Performed in a Pediatric Hospital in Barcelona: A Study of Their Characteristics and Age-Related Diagnoses.

Oral surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity and encompasses a wide range of surgical interventions. The aim of this investigation was to study the characteristics and age-related diagnoses of these oral surgeries, as well as to describe the surgical procedures performed in a pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery service. : A descriptive, retrospective, observational, and relational study was conducted on children and adolescents aged from 0 to 22 years who were treated in a pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery service at a children's hospital.

Parental perceptions and acceptance of silver diamine fluoride staining in Italy.

Background: Parental perceptions of staining due to silver diamine fluoride (SDF) could affect its utilization in paediatric dentistry. This study represents the second part of a wider project focused on SDF esthetic acceptability among Italian parents.

Aim: To evaluate parental acceptance of SDF staining in Italy and to assess whether the parent's level of acceptance depends on location, child's behavior, or demographic background.

Evaluation and Comparison of Oral Health Status between Spanish and Immigrant Children Residing in Barcelona, Spain.

The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the level of oral health among Spanish and immigrant children residing in Barcelona, Spain. Oral health status was evaluated in 1400 children aged 3 to 14 years between September 2018 and June 2019. Multiple variables (dental caries lesions, exodontia, trauma, malocclusions, gingivitis, fillings, stainless steel crowns in primary dentition, and pit and fissure sealings in permanent dentition) were compared in both populations.

Clinical and radiographic outcomes of the use of four dressing materials in pulpotomized primary molars: a randomized clinical trial with 2-year follow-up.

Background: Although multiple materials have been suggested for pulpotomized primary molars, there is no reliable evidence of the superiority of one particular type.

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of formocresol (FC), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), ferric sulphate, and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as pulp dressing agents in primary molars after 2 years.

Design: One hundred primary molars requiring pulp treatment were allocated randomly to the control (FC) and experimental groups (MTA, ferric sulphate, and NaOCl).

Prevalence of molar-incisor hypomineralisation observed using transillumination in a group of children from Barcelona (Spain).

Objectives: The objectives were to investigate the prevalence of the condition, by using transillumination, in a group of children. Analysed the prevalence with regard to gender, jaw affected, and the teeth that exhibited dysplasia most commonly.

Methods: A sample of 550 children aged 6 to 14 years was selected at the Department of Paediatric Dentistry at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, but among those selected only 505 children were eligible for inclusion in the study.
