Success rate of Hall Technique for restoring carious primary molars - systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The overall pooled success rate of the Hall Technique (HT) in various types of studies has not been investigated. The present study aims to evaluate the success rate of HT to restore carious primary molars.

Methods: A systematic search was carried out in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Scopus, Web of Science, and LIVIVO electronic databases, as well as the ProQuest database for grey literature review.

Strategies for Pain Management after Extraction of Primary Teeth: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials.

Background: In dental extractions, particularly when local anesthesia is used, it usually offers analgesic relief for a few hours. However, pain can become a notable concern in the immediate postoperative period due to the trauma experienced by both soft and hard oral tissues.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the most effective strategies for managing postoperative pain in primary tooth extractions.

Selective outcome reporting in paediatric dentistry restorative treatment randomised clinical trials-A meta-research.

Background: Selective outcome reporting (SOR) is a bias that occurs when the primary outcome of a randomised clinical trial (RCT) is omitted or changed.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of SOR in RCTs on restorative treatment in primary teeth.

Design: We conducted an electronic search on ClinicalTrials.

Sedation versus protective stabilization for dental treatment of children with caries and challenging behavior at the dentist (CHOOSE): a study protocol for a non-randomized clinical trial.

Background: There is a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of moderate sedation in pediatric dentistry, compared to protective stabilization, which remains routinely used in Brazil despite moral questions. This prospective non-randomized clinical trial's objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of moderate sedation, compared to the protective stabilization, in the dental care of children with dental behavior management problems.

Methods: Participants will be 152 children under seven years of age with early childhood caries (ECC) who need specialized dental treatment due to a history of challenging behavior during dental care.

Periodontal Changes After Caries Management in Preschool and School-Age Children.

To evaluate the effect of caries management on the periodontal status of preschool and school-age children.
Twenty-six four- to eight-year-old children with at least one primary molar with a deep carious lesion were selected to undergo a periodontal evaluation before and six months after dental treatment. Two examiners conducted the periodontal exams using the visible plaque index (VPI) and gingival bleeding index (GBI).
