Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how well a self-assembling peptide (P11-4) could diffuse, assemble, and help remineralize caries-like lesions in human baby teeth compared to fluoride varnish.
- Researchers created cavities in extracted primary molars, induced artificial caries by soaking them in a demineralizing solution, and then applied either fluoride varnish or P11-4 for remineralization.
- Results showed that P11-4 was more effective in enhancing remineralization depth than the fluoride treatment, indicating its potential as a superior agent for treating secondary caries lesions.
The wear properties of restorative materials used in the primary dentition must be compatible with primary tooth wear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the wear rate of primary teeth opposing composite resin and different prefabricated crown materials. The study specimens were divided into four groups: (1) composite resin (CR) group; (2) stainless steel group (SS); (3) monolithic zirconia (MZ) group; and (4) fiberglass (FG) group.

This cross-sectional study was conducted for a three-month period among the parents and children who applied for treatment in a university clinic. Parenting style was determined using the parenting style dimension questionnaire, and parental dental anxiety (PDA) was rated with the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale.
