Evaluation of accuracy of an electronic apex locator in presence of sodium hypochlorite in primary teeth with and without resorption.

This study compared the accuracy of Root ZX mini apex locator in presence of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in primary molars with and without apical resorption. Sixty-four extracted primary lower molar teeth with 32 root resorption and 32 without resorption were selected. To determine the actual working length (AWL), a K-file was inserted into the root canal until the tip of the file was visible at the major foramen or the resolution level.

Relationship Between Temporomandibular Ankylosis And Maximum Mouth Opening In Children.

Background: Pediatric dentists should have information regarding whether mouth opening is limited. In clinical practice, these professionals should collect and record oral area measurements at the pediatric patient's first medical examination.

Objectives: The study's aim developed the standard mouth opening measurement in children by using ordinary least squares regression to develop a clinical prediction model in children with Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis before preoperative surgery.

Stress levels of a group of dentists while providing dental care under clinical, deep sedation, and general anesthesia.

Objectives: Professionals in the health sector have higher stress than others. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress levels of dentists while treating with children under clinical, deep sedation, and general anesthesia.

Materials And Methods: Blood pressure (systolic, diastolic), pulse value, and O saturations were measured.

A Comparison of Hard and Soft Occlusal Splints for the Treatment of Nocturnal Bruxism in Children Using the BiteSTRIP®.

Objective: Bruxism is defined as a parafunctional activity. It could be in diurnal or nocturnal form, based on the time it occurs. The purpose of the study compares the effectiveness of occlusal splint treatments in children with nocturnal bruxism using the BiteStrip®.

Evaluation of mandibular trabecular bone by fractal analysis on panoramic radiograph in paediatric patients with sleep bruxism.

Objective: To evaluate the trabecular bone density in the mandible of paediatric patients diagnosed with sleep bruxism (SB) using the fractal analysis method on panoramic radiographs.

Methods: A total of 37 patients whose anamnesis and clinical signs were compatible with SB were diagnosed with SB using BiteStrip . Three areas were identified on the panoramic radiographs of the patients: the geometric center of the condyle, the angulus region under the mandibular canal, and the distal region of the mental foramen.

Anxiety and harmful oral habits in preschool children during the 2020 first-wave COVID‑19 lockdown in Turkey.

Background: Due to curfew and quarantine practices designed to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19), social isolation has tested the psychological limits of children.

Objectives: The authors evaluated parent-observed symptoms of anxiety in preschool children with harmful oral habits during the curfew period in Turkey.

Material And Methods: The authors prepared a questionnaire with Google Forms that was distributed through social media applications (e.

The effects of various irrigation protocols on root canal wall adaptation and apical microleakage in primary teeth.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the wall adaptation and apical microleakage values following the application of various irrigation protocols in primary teeth. For the two parts of the study, extracted upper incisor primary teeth were randomly included to the 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 10% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)+1% NaOCl, 6% citric acid (CA)+1% NaOCl and 0.9% physiological saline (PS) groups.
