A Prospective Randomised Clinical Trial Evaluating Pulpotomy in Primary Molars With Three Bioceramic Calcium Silicate Cements: 24 Month Follow-Up.

Background: In recent times, bioceramic calcium silicates have gained attention due to high success rates with pulpotomy in primary teeth.

Aims: To evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of three different bioceramic calcium silicate cements in vital deciduous teeth treated with pulpotomies over a period of 24 months.

Design: Children aged 4-9 years, with deep dentinal caries (ICDAS 4-6) in primary molars, having no history of spontaneous pain or signs of non-vitality were included in the study.

Prospective, Randomized, Clinical Evaluation of Preformed Zirconia Crowns and Stainless Steel Crowns on Permanent First Molars: 12-Month Results.

Purpose: The purpose of this prospective, randomized, parallel-group clinical study was to evaluate and compare the clinical outcome of preformed zirconia crowns and preformed stainless steel crowns when used to restore permanent first molars.

Methods: Patients with severely decayed, badly broken down hypomineralized or hypoplastic permanent first molars that required a full-coverage restoration were invited to parti- cipate in the study. Sixty-nine healthy, cooperative children, ages six to 12 years, were recruited for the study.

Management of internal and external root resorption in primary teeth of a 3-year-old with myelomeningocele: A case report.

Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a severe manifestation of spina bifida. Children with MMC have motor disability, hydrocephalus, skeletal abnormalities, and mental retardation. These individuals are more susceptible to caries due to poor oral hygiene, carbohydrate-rich diet, prolonged use of sugar-containing medications and limited motor abilities.

Ex Vivo Assessment of Natural Teeth Wear against Zirconia and Novel Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Composite Crowns in Primary Teeth by a Three-Dimensional Assessment Method.

Objectives: The main purpose of the study was to assess the material wear, antagonistic natural primary teeth wear, and microhardness of zirconia (ZR), a recently launched novel glass-fiber-reinforced composite crown (GFRC). The research question was, are these aesthetic crowns resulting in antagonistic natural primary tooth wear and the crown material itself?

Methods: Forty-five primary canines were divided into three groups (15 per group) and mounted against Zr (Group A), GFRC (Group B), and natural teeth as control (Group C) in the wear test machine. All samples were assessed for surface wear with pre- and post-3-dimensional scanning.

An 18-Month Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Zirconia Crowns with Glass-reinforced Fiber Composite Crowns in Primary Molar Teeth.

The purpose of this clinical trial was to assess the clinical performance of primary molar zirconia crowns with a glass fiber-reinforced composite crown (GFRC) in primary molar teeth. This trial was designed as a prospective, randomized, bilateral split-mouth study. A total of 66 crowns were placed in 30 children, ages four to nine years, from October 2018 until January 2019.
