Two-year clinical and radiographic evaluation of ACTIVA BioACTIVE versus Compomer (Dyract® eXtra) in the restoration of class-2 cavities of primary molars: a non-inferior split-mouth randomised clinical trial.

Objectives: The trial aimed to compare the clinical performance and radiographic success of ACTIVA BioACTIVE versus Compomer in restoring class-II cavities of primary molars.

Materials And Methods: A non-inferior split-mouth design was considered. A pre-calculated sample size of 96 molars (48 per group) with class-2 cavities of twenty-one children whose ages ranged from 5 to 10 years were randomly included in the trial.

Rectal plasmablastic lymphoma in Ebstein Barr virus positive and human immunodeficiency virus negative subject after external radiation therapy for prostatic cancer.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of diffuse large B cells lymphoma (DLBCL) most associated with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Prognosis remains poor despite various treatment approaches. We describe an evolution at six months of HIV negative PBL and Ebstein Barr virus (EBV) positive PBL with chemotherapy.

Effect of Oral Health Promotion on Caries Experience and Oral Cleanliness of School Children in Kerung, Nepal: A Prospective 6-month Follow-Up Study.

Background: A longitudinal oral health promotion project on caries experience and oral cleanliness was performed in a remote village in Nepal. The aim of this 6-month prospective survey was to investigate the impact of an oral health promotion project on caries experience, oral health-related behaviour, and general knowledge about oral health in Kerung, a remote village in Nepal.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted in a convenience sample of children from the local school in Kerung.

In vivo correlation of near-infrared transillumination and visual inspection with bitewing radiography for the detection of interproximal caries in permanent and primary teeth.

Purpose: To evaluate near-infrared light transillumination (NILT) for interproximal caries detection in children by comparing the correlation between both NILT and visual inspection (ICDAS) with bitewing (BW) radiography and by investigating possible differences in caries detection with NILT between primary and permanent teeth.

Methods: From 35 patients, 121 and 63 interproximal surfaces in, respectively, primary and permanent teeth were included. NILT images were obtained using DIAGNOcam™ (KaVo) and scored by two calibrated raters.

Paediatric dental emergencies: a retrospective study and a proposal for definition and guidelines including pain management.

Aim: This was primarily to perform a retrospective analysis of 1000 emergency dental visits in order to characterize the nature of the dental emergency and the treatment provided and secondly to define a guideline for dental emergency treatment in children including pain management.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 1000 patients (aged 0-16 years) who visited the dental emergency service of the paediatric dental clinic at the Ghent University Hospital, Belgium over a period of 3 years. Data regarding age, gender, reason for visit, year of visit, consequent appointments and treatment provided were collected.
