Effectiveness of Calcium Hydroxide and Gingerols Mixture as a Novel Obturation Material for Infected Root in Primary Teeth: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: The tendency to use dental materials of plant origin is one of the prevailing trends in dentistry to reduce exposure to materials that could have some toxic impact in the long term.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of calcium hydroxide combined with gingerols (Ginge-Cal) as a novel obturation material for treating infected primary teeth and decreasing the recurrence of infection.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 30 lower primary molars with infected pulp for children aged 4-8 years.

Effect of adhesive resin application on the progression of cavitated and non-cavitated incipient carious lesions.

Purpose: To evaluate the penetration of two different adhesive resin systems into cavitated and non-cavitated artificial carious lesions and the behavior of treated carious lesions under further acid attack.

Methods: Artificial caries-like lesions were created on the proximal surface of 100 human primary molars by a demineralizing gel. The teeth were assigned to three groups according to the adhesive resin used.
