This report discusses the management of an internal resorption seen after a mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomy in a primary molar tooth and presents the histological evaluation. Internal resorption was detected in the distal root of the primary molar tooth at the coronal third, 3 months after an MTA pulpotomy. The resorption was not expanding and was repaired with apposition. At 36 months follow-up, the tooth was extracted, and histological evaluation showed that new mature bone tissue had formed in the resorption area. In addition, a hard tissue bridge was determined at the apical region of the resorption area and pulp vitality was also maintained. The evidence from this case study suggests that internal root resorption can be self-limiting, stable, and healable.

The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of pulpotomy of deciduous teeth in dogs with the use of formocresol, Gutta-percha, and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). In this experimental study, 24 deciduous premolar teeth, without internal and external resorption, in two hybrid Iranian dogs, aged 6-8 weeks, were divided into 3 groups, using a simple random technique. In the three study groups, diluted Buckley formocresol, Gutta-percha, and MTA were placed on canal orifices, respectively, and the crowns were restored with zinc oxide eugenol paste and glass ionomer. The teeth underwent a radiographic procedure and extracted after 1-month. The histological samples were evaluated in relation to inflammatory reactions and formation of a hard tissue barrier. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 20 (SPSS Inc., Chicago IL, USA), using ANOVA, ANCOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman′s correlation coefficient (α = 0.05). Kruskal-Wallis test did not reveal any significant differences in clinical signs between the study groups at 2-week interval (P = 0.416) and clinical and radiographic signs 1-month after application of the materials (P = 0.503 and P = 0.122, respectively). ANCOVA did not reveal any significant differences in grading between the groups over time (P = 0.927). There were no differences between materials in the clinical, radiographic, and histological outcomes.

The Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is a genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance associated with anomalies in upper extremities and heart and affects one out of every 100,000 live births. Maxillofacial development is also affected by these skeletal abnormalities. Although there are many studies about the HOS in the literature, the data about the development of oral and maxillofacial development are very few. In this study, evaluation of a child with the HOS is made in terms of dental and gingival health, oral and maxillofacial formation, and cephalometric analysis measurements are made for the 1 st time in the literature and identified findings are discussed in company with the literature.

To determine the effect of metallurgy and taper on primary teeth root canals infected with Enterococcus faecalis, by stainless steel (SS) and nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) endodontic files. Ninety primary teeth root canals were used, in which the canals were sterilized after being enlarged with #15 K-file and then contaminated with an inoculation of a broth of E. faecalis. The teeth were divided into two groups, A and B. A is served as the control group and B as an experimental group. Experimental group was further divided into five subgroups (subgroup B1 - SS K-files: 2% taper, B2 - SS H-files: 2% taper, B3 - SS Flare files: 5% taper, B4 - Ni-Ti: 2% taper, and subgroup B5 - Ni-Ti: 6% taper) based on the metallurgy and taper of different endodontic files used for instrumentation. The post bacterial samples were collected, and were seeded on plates for analysis. After the incubation period, analysis of colony forming units/200 μL was done. The data thus obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Ni-Ti H and ProTaper group: The 6% taper showed a significant bacterial reduction (P < 0.05) and produced cleaner canals than SS K-files: 2% taper, SS H-files: 2% taper, and Ni-Ti K-files: 2% taper. However, there was not much of difference between Ni-Ti H and ProTaper: The 6% taper and SS Flare files: The 5% taper (P > 0.05). It was concluded that metallurgy does not play a significant role in cleaning efficiency of root canals, whereas taper does influence the bacterial reduction and hence produce cleaner canals in primary teeth.
采用不锈钢(SS)和镍钛(Ni-Ti)根管锉，观察冶金和锥度对感染粪肠球菌的乳牙根管的影响。使用90个乳牙根管，用#15 k锉扩大根管后消毒，然后接种粪肠杆菌肉汤污染根管。将牙齿分为A、B两组，A组为对照组，B组为实验组。根据不同根管锉的冶金和锥度，将实验组分为5个亚组(B1 - SS k锉2%锥度亚组、B2 - SS h锉2%锥度亚组、B3 - SS Flare锉5%锥度亚组、B4 - Ni-Ti 2%锥度亚组和B5 - Ni-Ti 6%锥度亚组)。收集后的细菌样本，并在板上播种进行分析。孵育后，对菌落形成单位/200 μL进行分析。对这样获得的数据进行了统计分析。Ni-Ti H和ProTaper组:6%的锥度比SS k锉:2%锥度，SS H锉:2%锥度和Ni-Ti k锉:2%锥度，细菌减少显著(P < 0.05)。而Ni-Ti H锉与ProTaper锉的差异不显著:6%锥度锉与SS Flare锉的差异不显著(P > 0.05)。结果表明，冶金对根管清洁效率没有显著影响，而锥度对根管细菌的减少有显著影响，从而使乳牙根管清洁。

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the color stability of various anterior tooth-colored restorative materials by children′s health drinks. Totally, 168 spherical shaped specimens of dimension of 12 mm in diameter and 1.2 mm in thickness were prepared from compomer (Dyract), resin modified glass ionomer (Vitremer), resin composite (Filtek Z350). Each group of 56 specimens of each material were divided into seven subgroups. Each subgroup was stored in a different solution (distilled water, milk, milk with sugar and bournvita, milk with sugar and horlicks, milk with sugar and boost, milk with sugar and complan, milk with sugar and maltova) for 48 h. The color change measurement was done using spectrophotometer (Minolta, CM-3301d) both before and after staining. For each group mean values (ΔEFNx01) were calculated, and inter-comparison between health drinks and materials was done using one-way ANOVA. Intercomparison between materials was done with Tukey′s post -hoc test. The level of significance for all the tests was chosen as P < 0.001. Resin composite showed the highest resistance to staining, and resin modified glass ionomer showed the least resistance. For all the materials, exposure to bournvita and boost resulted in high rates of color change than exposure to complan, maltova, horlicks, milk, and distilled water. All the health drinks tested did not show any visible effect on any of the esthetic restorative materials taken for study.

Rickets is a disorder caused by a lack of Vitamin D, calcium or phosphate. It leads to softening and weakening of the bones. Dental manifestation of rickets includes enamel hypoplasia and delayed tooth eruption. The present prospective study was carried out to report various dental anomalies caused due to rickets in children. The present study was carried out on 120 pediatric subjects between the age-group of group 6-18 years of age with history of rickets in infancy as reported by pediatrician. The developmental defect of enamel index was used for recording enamel lesions along with radiographs. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 16 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). Enamel hypoplasia was detected in 90 cases, missing teeth were detected in 45 cases, bilaterally missing mandibular second premolars were detected in 30 cases, seven cases were found with bilaterally missing maxillary first premolars, maxillary canines, and mandibular second premolars. Significant dental disturbances, e.g., hypoplasia, missing teeth can occur in children suffering from rickets in infancy. Careful and thorough management of this disorder can be done by conservative dental treatments such as composite sealant restorations and other preventive dental treatments.

Dental caries is the most common oral disease in human. Many epidemiological studies have been carried out worldwide to assess the prevalence of dental caries. In India also, several studies have been carried to find out the prevalence of dental caries. To know the cause of disparity of prevalence of dental caries epidemiological study of all the regions is very important. The objective of this study was to determine the caries prevalence of school going boys and girls in and around Guwahati city, Assam, India. About 7233 school going boys and girls from 25 schools, aged 3-17 years participated in the study. Data were also recorded for frequency of taking sweets along with the prevalence of caries to see the association of caries with sweet taking frequency among different age groups. Data were collected using basic oral health survey (WHO) modified form. Results showed that 43.40% boys and girls were affected by caries. Boys (45.85%) showed higher prevalence than girls (40.92%) with a mean value of 5.60 ± 0.03 and 5.28 ± 0.03 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant. Caries is very negligible (1.82% in males and 1.75% in females) among those who occasionally take sweets or never take. Contrary to that, more than 94% sweet takers of both the sexes, those who take sweets more than 5 times a day are affected by caries.

Pulpotomy has been the preferred therapy for carious pulpal exposure in primary teeth. Direct pulp capping (DPC) is considered controversial on these types of cases due to the belief that the pulp may be compromised due to the bacterial invasion with subsequent treatment failure. This case report describes two cases of primary molars effectively treated with DPC after small pulpal exposures during caries excavation.

Orthodontic treatments involve the fixation of appropriate appliances, such as the lingual arch (LA), which acts as an anchor to stabilize and/or prevent the movement of a tooth. However, application of the LA and transpalatal arch both requires complex laboratory procedures owing to the use of multiple bands. A modified direct bonding LA was developed to simplify laboratory procedures and promote versatile designs. A mesh plate and tube were welded together, and the LA was then attached using the directly bonded mesh plate and tube. Since the LA was only directly bonded on the lingual side, it could be removed according to anchorage requirements without disturbing the labially fixed appliances.

The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the plaque removal efficiency of a chewable toothbrush (CB) in children. A total of 20 patients aged 10-12 years who attended to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry were enrolled in the study. This was a single-blinded crossover study which examined plaque removal efficiency of a CB compared to a manual toothbrush (MB) following a consecutive use. After professional prophylaxis had been given, participants refrained from brushing and chewing for 48 h. Supragingival plaque was examined using the Turesky modification of the Quigley-Hein Index (TQHI) and the simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S). For statistical comparison, the difference (prebrushing minus postbrushing) in average scores was calculated. Data were evaluated by Mann-Whitney U-test, with a P < 0.05 considered to be statistically significant. The mean plaque reduction score with TQHI for CB and MB were 1.91 ± 0.54 and 1.96 ± 0.52, respectively. The mean plaque reduction score with OHI-S for CB and MB were 1.31 ± 0.288 and 1.34 ± 0.403, respectively. Differences in scores between the two brushes were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Within the limits of this study, the experimental chewable brush was found to be as effective as a manual brush in removing plaque. The chewable brush may be an appropriate oral hygiene adjunct for school children, including children with disabilities.
