Evaluation Time and Efficacy of Root Canal Rotary Preparation in Primary Teeth: An In-Vitro Study.

Purpose The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, apical debris extrusion, and time of rotary preparation of Baby Fanta files (Fanta Dental, (Shanghai, China) in root canals of primary molars. Materials and methods The study sample consisted of 30 upper secondary molars that were randomly divided into two groups (Baby Fanta - K file, Shanghai, China), each group comprising 15 palatal roots that were prepared, the necessary preparation time was calculated, the apical debris was collected, and they underwent a clearing technique to evaluate the cleaning effectiveness of the files used in this study. Results The results showed that Baby Fanta files were superior to K-file in time of preparation (P-value=0.

Evaluation of a Novel Tool for Apical Plug Formation during Apexification of Immature Teeth.

The purpose of this study was to compare the sealing ability and time required for the formation of Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregation (MTA) apical plugs, using three different delivery methods: an amalgam carrier (AC), the Micro Apical Placement (MAP) System or a novel tool using a modified cannula (MC). Materials and Methods: A total of 60 uniformed molar roots were divided into three main groups, according to the technique of apical plug formation: AC, MAP, and MC. Each group was divided into two subgroups, according to the filling material used: MTA and Biodentine.

Comparison of MTA versus Biodentine in Apexification Procedure for Nonvital Immature First Permanent Molars: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of Biodentine apical plugs compared to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in treating immature molars with apical lesions in children.

Materials And Methods: Thirty immature roots of 24 permanent lower first molars with apical lesions were randomly divided into two groups: group 1 (15 roots) treated with MTA apical plugs and group 2 (15 roots) treated with Biodentine apical plugs. Treatment radiological outcomes were assessed using the periapical index (PAI) scale after 6 and 12 months of treatment.

Dental Care for a Child with Congenital Hydrocephalus: A Case Report with 12-Month Follow-Up.

Hydrocephalus affects the central nervous system as a result of progressive ventricular dilatation from the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's lateral ventricles. This paper reports on the oral characteristics of a child with congenital hydrocephalus, discusses her complex dental care needs, and presents dental management of this case. Despite the complex and challenging dental needs, this child received dental treatment in a chairside approach without general anesthesia.
