Purpose: As clinical diagnosis of secondary caries is the most common reason for restoration replacement, fluoride-releasing restorative materials have been developed to address this problem. The purposes of this study were to verify demineralization inhibition produced by 5 restorative materials submitted to two methods of in vitro cariogenic challenge and verify whether these methods influence material behavior by means of polarized light microscopy and microhardness.
Methods: Class V cavities were prepared on buccal surfaces of 100 extracted primary molars and randomly restored with 1 of the 4 fluoride-releasing materials, Fuji IX, Vitremer, Dyract, Tetric Ceram, and Filtek Z250 as control material (N=10).
Article Synopsis
- The study reviewed 101 pediatric cases of cholesteatoma surgeries at Hospital das Clínicas in São Paulo, identifying the highest incidence among 10- to 15-year-olds, with an average age of 10.7 years.
- Complications were common, occurring in 45.5% of patients, and nearly half (49%) experienced significant hearing impairment (air-bone gap over 40 dB).
- Radical or modified radical mastoidectomies were the predominant surgical methods used (74.3% of cases), focusing on disease eradication while achieving satisfactory functional outcomes.
