Introduction: Dental erosion has a great effect on oral health, when diagnosed it is irreversible, this sets the importance of different preventive measures being investigated against dental erosion.
Aim: This in vitro study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride and Potassium iodide (SDF-KI) in comparison to casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF) varnish, sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) alone and deionized water as a control group in the prevention of dental erosion in primary teeth and assessing its staining effect.
Materials And Methods: Forty deciduous teeth enamel specimens were randomly allocated into the five study groups.
Background: Prefabricated zirconia crowns for a young permanent molar is a child-friendly solution for restoring a permanent molar at a young age. This in-vitro study aimed to compare the fracture resistance of prefabricated versus custom-made permanent molar crowns.
Methods: 16 identical resin dies were fabricated to receive permanent molar zirconia crowns, dies were divided into 2 groups, 1) received perfricated crowns, 2) custom-made crowns.
Background: A change in how a dentist looks may affect the child's anxiety in the dental office. This study compared the effect of conventional facial PPE versus extra PPE as reusable respirators; on the preoperative child's anxiety in the dental office.
Methods: Fifty two children were randomly allocated into 4 groups, (1) goggles + surgical mask, and (2) face shield + surgical mask versus (3) half-face respirator and (4) full-face respirator.
Background: During the novel COVID-19 pandemic, many universities adopted distance and hybrid learning as a modification to their teaching methods to ensure continuity of education, abiding by the worldwide recommendations of social distancing.
Aim: To compare learning environments created through hybrid learning versus distance learning, to deliver paediatric dentistry course, and to assess the correlation between the created learning environment and students' satisfaction.
Method: In this cross-sectional study, students enrolled in a hybrid paediatric dentistry course were asked to participate in an electronic survey.
Validation of the Arabic translation of the caries impacts and experiences questionnaire for children.
Int J Paediatr Dent
September 2022
Background: The recently developed Caries Impacts and Experiences Questionnaire for Children (CARIES-QC) is originally an English questionnaire targeting the assessment of caries-related quality of life from a child's point of view.
Aim: This study aimed to translate and adapt the CARIES-QC into the Arabic language and to test its reliability and validity on Arabic-speaking children.
Design: A total of 234 children aged 5-16 years answered the translated questionnaire.
Background: There is no scientific evidence supporting the choice of luting cement for cementation of zirconia crowns.
Aim: The purpose of this split-mouth study was to compare the efficacy of using bioactive cement versus packable glass ionomer for cementation of posterior pediatric zirconia crowns.
Design: Fifty first mandibular primary molars were restored by zirconia crowns and were randomly divided to be luted with either (a) bioactive cement or (b) packable glass ionomer.
Necrotic decayed primary molars with necrotic pulp tissues may show periapical involvement and root resorption. In this case report, a pediatric patient with a very common chief complain and clinical picture of necrotic badly decayed molar, introduced a very interesting case when radiographic investigation was performed, which showed that root resorption of the adjacent healthy molar occurred. The current report is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to report such finding in primary dentition.
