  • The study aimed to evaluate how dental treatments impact salivary oxidative stress markers in young children with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) compared to those without caries.
  • Salivary tests were performed at three time points (before treatment, after restorative care, and after fluoride varnish) on 40 children, and statistical analyses were used to assess differences in oxidative stress and antioxidant levels.
  • Results showed that dental treatments reduced harmful oxidative stress markers and increased antioxidant levels in the saliva of children with S-ECC, highlighting the benefits of dental care in managing oral health and oxidative stress.

In the present study, an intermediate namely 2-(3-bromopropylamino)-3-chloronaphthalene-1,4-dione was initially synthesized via the nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction between 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone and 3-bromo-1-aminopropane. Then a coupling reaction between the intermediate and piperazine derivatives yielded a number of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives. Spectroscopic analysis successfully characterized the products that were obtained in good yields.

Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a fluoroscopic technique that allows the assessment of the urinary tract, including the urethra, bladder, and-if vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is present-the ureters and the pelvicalyceal systems. The technique also allows for the assessment of bladder filling and emptying, providing information on anatomical and functional aspects. VCUG is, together with contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (VUS), still the gold standard test to diagnose VUR and it is one of the most performed fluoroscopic examinations in pediatric radiology departments.
