Evaluation of Microtensile Bond Strength between SMART Technique and Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement-treated Carious Primary Dentin.

Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution has been used clinically to prevent and arrest dental caries. To evaluate the microtensile bond strength between silver-modified atraumatic restorative technique (SMART) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) applied to carious primary teeth and also the mode of restoration failure.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 carious primary molars were equally allocated into test and control groups after sectioning through the middle of the carious lesion.

A Comparative Study of Salivary Flow Rate, pH, Buffer Capacity, Total Antioxidant Capacity, and Ferritin Levels in Children with Beta Thalassemia Major and Healthy Children.

Introduction: Thalassemia is a genetically diverse group of disease which occurs due to an imbalance in the production of the alpha and beta chains with ensuring chronic hemolysis, ineffective erythropoiesis, and iron overload.

Aim And Objective: The main aim of the study is to compare the salivary flow rate, pH, buffer capacity, total antioxidant capacity, and ferritin levels in children with beta thalassemia major and healthy children.

Materials And Methods: The present study includes 40 children consisting of 20 beta thalassemia major and 20 healthy children.

Assessing the Pain Reaction of Children and Evaluation of Efficacy of Buccal Infiltration with Articaine and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block with Lignocaine for Pulp Therapy in Primary Mandibular Second Molars.

Introduction: Pain-free operating is of obvious benefit to the patient, it also helps the operator as treatment can be performed in a calm, unhurried fashion. Articaine hydrochloride has steadily grown in popularity, and studies have shown that articaine hydrochloride performs better than lidocaine due to an enhanced anesthetic efficacy.

Aim And Objective: To assess the efficacy of buccal infiltration with articaine in achieving anesthesia for pulp therapy in primary mandibular second molars as compared with inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) with lignocaine.

Enamel Erosion: A Possible Preventive Approach by Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate-An Study.

Context: Several efforts were made in order to alter the compositions of acidic food items concerning their properties to be able to reduce their erosivity potential. The addition of combinations of calcium and phosphate salts to these food products has grabbed great interest.

Aim: evaluation of the effect of the addition of 0.

Sealing Ability of MTA vs Portland Cement in the Repair of Furcal Perforations of Primary Molars: A Dye Extraction Leakage Model-An Study.

Aim: The purpose of this present study is to compare the ability of MTA and Portland cement to seal furcal perforations in extracted primary molars using the dye extraction leakage model.

Materials And Methods: Sixty primary molars were selected and randomly divided into four groups after access openings and furcal perforations were created in the pulp chamber floor. Group I ( = 20) in which perforations were repaired with MTA (ProRoot MTA, MTA-Angelus), group II ( = 20) in which perforations were repaired with the Portland cement, group III ( = 10) in which perforations were left unsealed (positive control), and group IV ( = 10) without perforations (negative control).
