Assessment of Effectiveness Acceptability Complications and Parental Satisfaction of Pediatric Dental Patients Treated under Nitrous Oxide-oxygen Inhalational Sedation Using Porter Silhouette Mask.

Objectives: To estimate the concentration of nitrous oxide (NO) required for effective sedation to render dental treatment for an anxious child and to assess the child's behavior, patient acceptance, parental satisfaction, postoperative complications, and ease of manipulation of Porter Silhouette mask by the dentist during NO-O sedation.

Study Design: A total of 40 children, 6-10-year-old requiring dental treatment, were treated using NO sedation. The level of NO required for optimal sedation, patient behavior, level of acceptance of NO by the patient, clinical recovery score, and postoperative complications were observed throughout the study.

Clinical Evaluation of Pediatric Posterior Zirconia and Stainless Steel Crowns: A Comparative Study.

Objective: To clinically evaluate and compare the performance of posterior pediatric zirconia crowns with stainless steel crowns.

Materials And Methods: Twenty nine children [3-9 years] were selected and given 70 preformed crowns [35: preformed zirconia crowns, Kinderkrown; 35: stainless steel crowns, KIDZ CROWN]. Crowns were evaluated for retention, marginal integrity, opposing tooth wear, plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, and proximal contact at 3, 6, 9, and 12th month.

Methodology: This study was performed at various children's hospitals in Chennai. Fifty-one GERD patients who were assessed by endoscopy and 24 h pH-metry, 31 (60.

Comparative Evaluation of Endovac and Conventional Irrigating Syringe on Apical Extrusion in Primary Molars. An in vitro Study.

Objectives: The present study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the apical extrusion of irrigant and depth of irrigant penetration into dentine using the EndoVac irrigating system and manual irrigation system in primary molar teeth.

Study Design: Twenty five extracted primary molars satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were divided into two groups with 29 roots in each group with an equal distribution of apical foramen area. The teeth were mounted in pre-weighed glass bottles and the canals were irrigated with 5.

Comparative Evaluation of the Efficacy of EndoVac and Conventional Irrigating Systems in Primary Molars - An in Vitro Study.

Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the apical extrusion of irrigant and depth of irrigant penetration into the dentinal tubules using the EndoVac irrigating system and the manual irrigation system in primary molar teeth.

Study Design: Twenty five extracted primary molars satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were divided into two groups of 29 roots in each group with an equal distribution of apical foramen area. The teeth were mounted in pre-weighed glass bottles and the canals were irrigated with both the irrigating systems using 5.
