Statement Of The Problem: Success of pulpotomy of primary teeth depends on biological and cytotoxic effects of pulp capping agents. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement, and ferric sulfate (FS) are among the commonly used pulp capping agents (PCAs) for pulpotomy, and their successful application has been previously evaluated.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity of PCAs against mesenchymal stem cells isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how the health belief model (HBM) influenced COVID-19 vaccination acceptance among 3,600 health workers from February to March 2021.
- It found that over 62% of participants intended to get vaccinated, with factors like workplace (health center) and lack of COVID-19 hospitalization history increasing their intention.
- The study concluded that HBM constructs, such as perceived sensitivity and self-efficacy, effectively predicted the likelihood of vaccination acceptance among the health workers.
Aim: This study aimed to assess the effects of iron salts on the demineralization and discoloration of primary incisor enamel subjected to artificial cariogenic challenge (ACC) versus saline immersion.
Methodology: In this in vitro experimental study, 90 primary incisors were evaluated in 10 groups ( = 9). Five groups were subjected to ACC, and the other five were immersed in saline.
Laser technology has been recently introduced into the dental field with the idea to replace drilling. Having a less painful first dental experience by the use of modern instruments like laser can be an efficient preventive and therapeutic strategy in pediatric dentistry. Pedodontists need to learn the new less invasive technologies and adopt them in their routine practice.
