Efficacy of sucrose application in minimizing pain perception related to dental injection in children aged 3 to 9 years: a randomized control trial.

Background: Dental fear and anxiety are significant challenges in managing behavior in children. Oral administration of sucrose or sweet-tasting solutions has shown effectiveness in reducing procedural pain in infants and neonates. This study aimed to investigate whether pre-application of sucrose solution had an effect on minimizing pain perception during injection and to assess the potential impact of the child's age and sweet preference.

Enhancing special care dentistry with waiting room based multisensory‑adapted dental environment: A randomized controlled-trial.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness of waiting room based multisensory adapted dental environment (SADE) as a novel, non-invasive behavior management technique in alleviating anxiety levels in children with Down syndrome.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, D.Y.

Oral rehabilitation of a 14-year-old quadriplegic child with cerebral palsy under general anesthesia: A case report.

Cerebral palsy is a neuromuscular disorder in which patients deal with dysfunction in motor coordination in addition to other problems like epilepsy. Due to disrupted motor functions, the oromotor coordination is also affected, leading to higher incidence of dental caries, which is also due to increased consumption of medications. This case report deals with the oral rehabilitation of a quadriplegic 14-year-old child with cerebral palsy, suffering from severe dental pain and who was treated under general anesthesia.

Efficacy of eutectic topical anesthesia in stainless steel crown procedures for primary molars: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Prior literature highlights the importance of local anesthesia (LA) for stainless steel crown (SSC) preparation and placement. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of a eutectic mixture of local anesthesia (EMLA), a topical anesthesia, for this purpose remains unexplored.

Aim: The study evaluated the effectiveness of two EMLA application methods during SSC preparation and placement.

Laser Activation of Aquatine Endodontic Cleanser: A Novel Approach to Root Canal Disinfection.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and Aquatine Endodontic Cleanser (EC) with and without laser-activated disinfection against in the root canals of primary teeth.

Materials And Methods: A total of 45 human primary teeth were selected and inoculated with and divided into three groups as per intervention.
