Inflammatory Status of Excavated Pulp Tissue and Internal Root Resorption in Pulpotomized Primary Molars.

Statement Of The Problem: Internal root resorption after pulpotomy is a pathological phenomenon and can lead to early root resorption and subsequent loss of the tooth.

Purpose: To assess the relationship between initial inflammatory coronal pulp status in decayed primary molars treated by pulpotomy and internal root resorption after one-year follow-up.

Materials And Method: In this clinical in vivo and in vitro experiment, vital pulpotomies were performed on 50 primary molars from 50 patients aged 5 to 10 years.

Dental Treatment Effect on Blood Glucose Level Fluctuation in Type 1 Unbalanced Diabetic Children.

Unlabelled: Diabetic patients struggle to maintain their blood glucose near normal levels to avoid the occurrence of hypo- or hyperglycemia discomfort. Dental practitioners must foresee such complications as they can also take place during dental treatment.

Aim And Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of the type and duration of dental treatment on the blood glucose level (BGL) fluctuation in type 1 unbalanced diabetic children [hemoglobin A (HbA) >7].

Dental Treatment Effect on Blood Glucose Level Fluctuation in Type 1 Balanced Diabetic Children.

Introduction: Pediatric dentists, while treating diabetic patients, have a major concern about the occurrence of hypo- or hyperglycemia complications. So far, no dental care protocol is elaborated to help practitioners in creating a safe environment for their patients. This study aims to evaluate the blood glucose level (BGL) fluctuation in type 1 diabetic children according to the type of the delivered treatment and its duration, to outline guidance for predicting the occurrence of a hypo- or hyperglycemia complication.
