Comparative assessment to determine the accuracy of Demirjian and DARLInG methods of dental age estimation in western Indian children.

The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of Demirjian and Dental Age Research London Information Group (DARLInG) methods of dental age estimation in western Indian children. A total of 485 dental panoramic radiographs of children aged between 4 and 15 years were included in this study. Dental age was estimated based on the degree of mineralization of permanent teeth in the left side of the arch.

Comparative evaluation of micro-leakage of two newer glass ionomer cements in primary molars immersed in three beverages: in vitro study.

Introduction: The dietary habits of children expose the oral cavity to challenging environments. A durable interface between the restorative material and tooth surface is essential to ensure marginal integrity thereby contributing to the longevity of restoration.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the micro-leakage of two newer glass ionomer cements (SDI Riva Self Cure GIC and GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA) in primary molars immersed in sugarcane juice, chocolate milk and mango drink.
