Qualitative and Quantitative Effect of a Protective Chlorhexidine Varnish Layer Over Resin-infiltrated Proximal Carious Lesions in Primary Teeth.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the progression of noncavitated initial proximal carious lesions in primary teeth, infiltrated with low viscosity resins, both with and without an overlying layer of chlorhexidine varnish.

Methods: Forty-five children, with at least two white spot lesions on the proximal surfaces of primary molars, were assessed. The clinical procedure of resin infiltration (DMG, ICON) was similar in both groups.

A multidisciplinary approach to the management of traumatic intrusion in immature permanent teeth.

Intrusion in a developing permanent tooth is an extremely complicated traumatic injury and is rarely seen in the permanent dentition. The damage caused by the trauma to the surrounding tooth structures results in a multitude of complications during the healing process. Careful repositioning of the intruded tooth by orthodontic means, revascularisation of the immature tooth to regain vitality, and periodontal treatment to provide the most acceptable aesthetic outcome are described in this case report.
