Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and light cured calcium silicate (TheraCal) in promoting reparative dentin formation during indirect pulp treatment (IPT) in primary molars over six months.
- Conducted on 43 primary molars from 21 children aged 4-7 years, the trial involved measuring dentin thickness at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months using digital radiography.
- Results indicated that both materials significantly increased dentin thickness, with no significant difference between the two, suggesting TheraCal is a viable alternative to MTA for pediatric dental procedures.
Background: The role of cytokines as a marker in the oral inflammatory process in ECC has not been fully explored before and after full mouth rehabilitation.
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the level of salivary interleukin-6 (IL-6) in children with ECC and to compare its levels before and after comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation.
Methods And Materials: Saliva samples were collected from children with ECC prior to dental treatment and 3-month post treatment.
