Objectives: This study aimed to assess the clinical performance outcome at 36 months of molars with molar incisor hypomineralization and carious lesions, treated with two different restorative approaches following selective caries removal.
Methods: The children aged 6 to 12 years (18 female, 13 male) included in the study had at least two carious permanent first molars diagnosed with molar incisor hypomineralization. Sixty-two molars were restored in a split-mouth design.
The purpose of this split-mouth design study was to evaluate the clinical success and survival of glass hybrid (GH) and direct composite with short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) after selective caries removal in restorations of permanent first molars that were affected by molar hypomineralization (MH). Thirty-one children aged six to 12 years with severe MH were randomly assigned as follows: group one equals GH (Equia Forte HT) and group two equals SFRC (EverX Flow TM ) covered by micro-hybrid composite (G-Aenial® posterior composite). For selective caries removal, only disorganized dentin in the pulpal and the axial wall was removed using low-speed tungsten carbide burs and hand instruments.

Materials And Methods: Serum hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, calcium, parathormone, magnesium, and phosphorus levels were measured in 62 children with CKD aged between 4 and 17 years. Intraoral examinations of the patients were performed by two different pediatric dentists.
Background: There are various oral symptoms related to the disease and its management in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of the study was to investigate the oral health status of children with different stages of CKD, kidney transplant recipients (KTR), and healthy children.
Methods: A total of seventy-one children diagnosed with CKD and fifty-two healthy children were included in the study.
