Children's behaviors were assessed using the following scales: (1) modified Frankl scale (preoperative period); (2) modified Houpt behavior rating scale (venipuncture period); and (3) modified Wilton behavior scale (recovery period).

Treatment of aggressive external root resorption with calcium hydroxide medicaments: a case report.

Intrusive luxation is an injury involving the axial displacement of a tooth into the alveolar socket. This paper describes apexification using calcium hydroxide medicaments of an immature permanent central incisor in which spontaneous re-eruption as well as severe inflammatory external root resorption was observed following traumatic intrusion. A 10-year-old boy was referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry 3 days after having fallen at school.
