Objectives: This study aims to compare the clinical performance of 3D printed endocrowns (ECs) and prefabricated zirconia crowns (PZRCs) in restoring pulpotomized primary molars, over 3, 6, and 12 months.
Methods: Thirty pulpotomized mandibular primary molars in 16 children aged 4-8 years were randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio into two groups: group (A), PZRCs, and group (B), 3D-printed ECs. All restorations were evaluated for esthetic, functional, and biological properties using FDI criteria at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares computerized intraosseous anesthesia (CIOA) using the QuickSleeper 5 device with traditional inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) for managing pain during dental procedures in children aged 6-9.
- The results indicated that while there was no significant difference in pain perception (measured by Venham scores), the heart rate was significantly lower in the CIOA group immediately after anesthesia, suggesting a more stable physiological response.
- Overall, CIOA was deemed a viable alternative to IANB, potentially enhancing children's cooperation during dental treatments.
Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical performance and cost effectiveness of Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (SMART) and Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) restorations in primary molars over 12 months follow up period.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-seven children, aged 5-9 years old having at least one asymptomatic primary molar with active caries, were randomly assigned to either the test arm (SMART) or the control arm (ART). Clinical performance was assessed after 6 and 12-months using the modified United States Public Health Services criteria.
