One-year radiographic and clinical performance of bioactive materials in primary molar pulpotomy: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is considered the gold standard material for pulpotomy procedures. However, some drawbacks such as poor handling and long setting time are challenging when it is used as pulpotomy dressing in primary molars in children. Hence, the purpose of this study was to compare the radiographic and clinical performance of a premixed, fast setting bioceramic root repair material (BC RRM-F) with MTA in vital pulpotomy procedures of primary molars, with or without the added seal of a stainless steel crown (SSC).

Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of and as Pulpotomy Medicaments in Primary Teeth: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic efficacy of and as pulp medicaments in primary molars in comparison to formocresol.

Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled trial is a three-arm, parallel-group study. This research included 66 vital, carious primary molars that required pulpotomy treatment in 4-7-year-old children.

Assessment of oral health status of children with epilepsy: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Epileptic children are liable to experience oral health problems either due to the disease itself or medications administered to control the condition.

Aim: We aimed to investigate caries experience, gingival health and oro-facial traumatic injuries in a sample of epileptic Egyptian children.

Design: A retrospective cohort study was conducted from September 2016 to April 2017 using data from medical records in Children Hospital at Ain Shams University.

Prioritizing the Risk Factors of Severe Early Childhood Caries.

Severe early childhood caries remains the most common chronic disease affecting children. The multifactorial etiology of caries has established a controversy about which risk factors were more significant to its development. Therefore, our study aimed through meticulous statistical analysis to arrange the "well agreed upon" common risk factors in order of significance, to aid the clinician in tailoring an adequate preventive program.

Effect of the addition of chlorhexidine and miswak extract on the clinical performance and antibacterial properties of conventional glass ionomer: an in vivo study.

Background: Antibacterial restorations can increase the success rate of minimum invasive dentistry especially in young permanent molars with deep carious lesions as an attempt to preserve maximum dental structure and avoid pulp exposure. Further research is warranted to evaluate different antibacterial agents.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adding chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) or aqueous miswak (Salvadora persica) extract on the clinical performance and in vivo antibacterial activity of conventional anhydrous glass ionomer cement (GIC).

Screening for celiac disease in children with dental enamel defects.

Background. Dental enamel defects (DEDs) are seen in celiac disease (CD). Aim was to detect frequency of CD among such patients.
