Incidence of traumatic dental injuries associated with orotracheal intubation in general anesthesia in children during mixed dentition in Damascus, Syria: a prospective longitudinal study.

Objectives: Endotracheal tube intubation by laryngoscope during general anesthesia is a safe procedure with a few complications. However, it may cause some damage to the oral cavity structures, which leads to postoperative pain and discomfort. Traumatic dental injuries associated with endotracheal tube intubation are one of the most common complications.

A Cross-Sectional Survey of Anesthesiologists' Awareness Toward Traumatic Dental Injuries During General Anesthesia in Syrian Arab Republic.

Background: Traumatic dental injuries with tracheal intubation during general anesthesia are considered one of the most common complications. It is also the primary reason for malpractice legal claims against anesthesiologists according to insurance companies. There is much information regarding the incidence, consequences, and risk factors of traumatic dental injuries during general anesthesia.

Rectal Sedation With Ketamine and Midazolam in the Management of Uncooperative Children During Dental Treatment: A Case Series and Method Description.

Background In pediatric dentistry, sedation aims to eliminate anxiety to facilitate the completion of dental procedures. Sedation in children is a multidimensional field that includes the child, parents/guardians, and the health care team. The rectal route is generally painless, making it suitable for children who are afraid of needles.

Comparison of the Pull-Out Resistance of Grossly Decayed Primary Anterior Teeth Restored With Two Different Intracanal Posts: An In Vitro Study.

Background Severely damaged primary anterior teeth that require pulp therapy present a high risk of failure due to the loss of tooth substance, resulting from pre-existing decay and endodontic therapy. The ideal post material should have physical and mechanical properties similar to those of dentin. Another concern in restoring endodontically treated primary teeth is the need to find a material that can resorb similar to the natural tooth structure as a part of the exfoliation process, allowing normal eruption of permanent successors.

Comparing the Fracture Resistance of Dentine Posts and Glass Fiber Posts in Primary Maxillary Incisors: An In Vitro Study.

Background/purpose An ideal post material should have physical and mechanical properties similar to dentin. Another problem when restoring primary teeth that have undergone root canal treatment is the availability of materials that are resorbed in the exfoliation process in a manner similar to the structure of the natural tooth, allowing the normal eruption of a permanent tooth. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using dentine posts on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated primary incisors in comparison to glass fiber posts.

Evaluation of Bioceramic Putty in Pulpotomy of Immature Permanent Molars With Symptoms of Irreversible Pulpitis.

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of both mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and bioceramic putty (Well-Root PT) in the pulpotomy of immature permanent molars diagnosed with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. Materials and methods The study included 30 immature permanent molars with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis in 30 healthy children aged six to eight years. They were randomly distributed into the following two groups according to the material used: group 1 included 15 first permanent molars capped by MTA and group 2 included 15 first permanent molars capped by bioceramic putty.

Evaluation of the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate and bioceramic putty in primary molar pulpotomy with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis (a randomized-controlled trial).

Objectives: Preserving the primary teeth is important, as they play an important role in the integrity of the dental arch, the development of the craniofacial complex, speech, and chewing. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of both Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Bioceramic putty in primary molar pulpotomy with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 40 s primary mandibular molars in 40 healthy children aged 6-8 years were examined and classified into 2 groups according to the material: group A, with 20 primary molars capped by MTA, and group B, with 20 teeth capped by Bioceramic putty.

Evaluation of the Antibacterial Efficacy of QMix and AgNP Solutions in Root Canals of Primary Molars: An In-Vitro Study.

Purpose The study aimed to evaluate QMix and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) solution in eliminating  (. ) bacteria within root canals of primary molars. Materials and methods The study sample consisted of 45 extracted primary molars, which were divided into three groups: Group 1 (control) NaOCl 5.

Evaluation Time and Efficacy of Root Canal Rotary Preparation in Primary Teeth: An In-Vitro Study.

Purpose The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, apical debris extrusion, and time of rotary preparation of Baby Fanta files (Fanta Dental, (Shanghai, China) in root canals of primary molars. Materials and methods The study sample consisted of 30 upper secondary molars that were randomly divided into two groups (Baby Fanta - K file, Shanghai, China), each group comprising 15 palatal roots that were prepared, the necessary preparation time was calculated, the apical debris was collected, and they underwent a clearing technique to evaluate the cleaning effectiveness of the files used in this study. Results The results showed that Baby Fanta files were superior to K-file in time of preparation (P-value=0.

Pain assessment following endodontic treatment using two automated systems compared to manual treatment in primary molars.

Background: Root canal treatment in primary teeth is quite difficult and time-consuming, especially canal preparation. Pain is the most common negative outcome following root canal treatment, occurring hours or days after treatment. It is an unpleasant experience for both the patient and the dentist.

Evaluation and comparison two types of prefabricated zirconia crowns in mixed and primary dentition: A randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Prefabricated zirconia crowns are available to treat anterior and posterior primary teeth, which possess high resistance, long durability, and short working time. They are also esthetic and available in various sizes for all primary teeth. However, their high costs can present a clear disadvantage in many communities around the world.

Comparison of two intravenous sedation techniques for use in pediatric dentistry: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Psychological methods are the preferred behavior management techniques (BMTs) for children in the dental clinical set. However, sometimes they are not successful. On such occasions, pharmacological methods can be good alternatives.

A clinical and radiographic study of four different root canal fillings in primary molars.

Background: Successful treatment of infected primary teeth aims to preserve the child's health. However, the complex morphology of primary root canals and the desire for shorter therapy sessions put the necessity to search for the ideal root canal paste.

Aims: To evaluate pulpectomy of nonvital primary molars using four different root canal filling pastes zinc oxide and propolis (ZOP) as a new paste, endoflas-chlorophenol-free as a new paste free of chlorophenol, metapex paste, and zinc oxide and eugenol (ZOE) paste as a control paste.
