Background: Little is known about fluoride toothpastes effect on primary teeth submitted to erosive tooth wear.

Objectives: To evaluate the preventive effect of different toothpastes on surface loss (SL) after severe erosion/abrasion model and to compare this effect between permanent (PT) and primary teeth (pt).

Design: Enamel samples were randomly divided according toothpastes groups (n = 17). G1: placebo; G2: NaF; G3: AmF-NaF-SnCl anti-erosion; G4: SnF ; and G5: NaF anti-erosion for children. Samples were incubated in artificial saliva (1 hour), submitted to erosive challenge (3 minutes; 1% citric acid; pH3.6; at 25°C) and to toothbrush abrasion (2 minutes slurry immersion; 50 strokes; 200 g) during 30 cycles. Surface loss (μm; mean ± SD) was quantified by contactless profilometry. The effects of the two covariables "tooth" and "toothpaste" were analysed by non-parametric ANOVA, variables with significant effects were tested by Wilcoxon tests.

Results: pt showed significantly higher surface loss than PT in all groups (P < 0.001). The mean values of SL of each group were: G1 PT 18.18(±3.98), pt 25.65(±9.21); G2 PT 14.76(±2.82), pt 18.11(±3.92); G3 PT 12.62(±5.29), pt 15.61(±6.70); G4 PT 17.12(±2.24), pt 23.41(±7.9); G5 PT 13.24(±1.29), pt 18.28(±8.96).

Conclusions: In permanent teeth, G3 showed the best preventive effect. In primary teeth, G1, G3, and G5 showed similar effect.

Background: Endodontic treatment aims in the preservation of extremely carious primary teeth. For root canal therapy to be successful, root canals must be properly prepared and effectively irrigated .Therefore, it is necessary to select the proper root canal disinfection method to preserve the primary tooth.

Background And Aim: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of different endodontic irrigants employed in the lesion sterilization and tissue repair (LSTR) technique.

Methods: Forty children aged 4-8 years having at least one primary molar with irreversible pulpitis/pulpal necrosis indicated for pulpectomy were included. Participants were randomly divided into three test groups (Group A, B, and C) and one control group (Group D).

Background And Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of methylene blue dye with 660-nm diode laser in cavity disinfection and to compare the total bacterial count in dentinal samples preexcavation, postexcavation, and postdisinfection. The study design was experimental in vivo.

Materials And Methods: Fifteen children aged 5-12 years with 15 primary molars requiring atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) were selected.

Background: Audio-analgesia is one of the unexplored aspects of behavior management in pediatric dentistry, and recently, there have been many new inclusions in shades of noise that were previously just limited to white noise, like brown noise and pink noise.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of white noise, brown noise, and pink noise on dental anxiety in pediatric patients undergoing primary tooth extraction.

Study Settings And Design: Multiarm, triple-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
  • Smart burs and chemo-mechanical caries removal (CMCR) systems are alternative techniques for cavity preparation, but existing studies show mixed results regarding their efficacy, efficiency, and patient comfort.
  • This systematic review analyzed in vivo studies comparing these methods, excluding lower-quality sources and conducting a thorough risk of bias assessment on the included studies.
  • The analysis revealed that, although 154 studies were initially reviewed, only a few were suitable for meta-analysis, showing no significant difference in clinical efficacy between CMCR systems and smart burs.
