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.
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.
Objective: To compare the depth of cure (DoC) of a colored polyacid-modified composite resin (PAM-C) with a traditional PAM-C and a fine hybrid composite resin using different light-curing units and different radiant energies.
Method And Materials: The DoC of the PAM-C Twinky Star (Voco, all shades), the PAM-C Glasiosite (Voco), and the composite resin Z100 (3M ESPE) shades A2 and A4 was determined using a penetrometer test method. The materials were cured in bulk using a halogen-based unit (Elipar Trilight, E = 18 J/cm2 and E = 32 J/cm2; 3M ESPE) and an LED curing unit (Elipar Freelight 2, E = 20 J/cm2; 3M ESPE) in split stainless steel molds.
