The aim of this study was to evaluate the shaping potentials of the ProTaper system and nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) hand-files using micro-computed tomography (μCT) in young permanent teeth. Thirty-second permanent molar teeth extracted from patients 15 to 18 years of age were divided into two groups with 15 samples of each. Group I: were instrumented using the traditional "step-back" technique by Ni-Ti K-files. Group II were instrumented using the "crown-down" technique by ProTaper rotary instruments. Before and after root canal preparation, the μCT data were analyzed for the canal volume changes, the percentage differences between these volumes and unprepared surface area ratio of the total surfaces. At all root canals in both groups, the difference between the percentage of the root canal volume before-after preparation was significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of root canal volume changes and unprepared surface area ratios (P > 0.05). There was no difference between the systems in terms of shaping ability. Considering the shortening session time of the child patient ProTaper system appeared to be beneficial.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of one layer or two-layer applications of single bond (SB) and prime & bond (PB) which prepared with erbium: Yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser, potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser, and acid-etched dentin. Various surface pretreatments have been developed to have better adhesion to dentine. However, the effects of laser-etch and acid-etch on adhesion with various applications of bonding agents have not yet been achieved. Twenty-four human third molar teeth were used in this study. One-third of the teeth were removed; then the teeth divided into three groups and two subgroups randomly. After Er:YAG laser, KTP laser, and acid-etch applied to dentine, SB and PB applied one or two layer for the subgroups. Waiting in distilled water for 24 h, the teeth were sectioned to sticks and the sticks were stressed in tension until failure using a microtensile testing machine. The data were collected in SPSS for statically analysis with three-way ANOVA and independent sample t-tests at the confidence interval of 95%. The highest μTBS values were in Er:YAG laser and PB group in one-layer application. The Er:YAG laser can be useful to obtain high μTBS values. Applying a second consecutive coat of adhesive showed decreased μTBS values and KTP laser was not effective to obtain an increased μTBS values.

Children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) receive anti-retroviral therapy (ART) quite early in life. These drugs could possibly have an effect on tooth development. A group of 221 HIV-infected children in the age group of 6-18 years (mean 11.62 ± 3.30 years) were examined for any tooth anomalies. Only 109 children were on ART and they were divided into three groups based on the anti-retroviral regimen they received. Twenty percent of children on ART had microdontia of the first premolars, with a mean age of drug onset 3.2 ± 0.8 years. Type of anti-retroviral regimen and age of administration appears to have an effect on developing teeth. There is a need for further research on the possible effects of anti-retroviral medications on tooth mineralization.

The aim of this study is to determine why parents prefer university clinics for pedodontic treatment, as well as describe caries, orthodontic treatment, trauma, education, and the media effect. A five-item, questionnaire-based, cross-sectional interview study was administered face-to-face to a nationally representative sample in Turkey in 2013 by the Gazi University, Department of Pediatric Dentistry. The researchers recorded the parents′ educational status, reasons for referral, and the children′s age and sex. A Chi-square test was used for the categorical variables. The continuous variables were compared using a Mann-Whitney U-test and a Kruskal-Wallis test in 90% confidence interval of 3%. A total of 572 patients and their parents agreed to participate in this study. Question 1: Statistically significant difference was found between parents educational status. Question 2: Increased education status led to increased confidence in academic facilities (P < 0.05). Question 3: Just for over the 16 years education status has found significantly a low concern (P < 0.05). Question 4: Only for over the 16 years education status was found significant information via media sources (P < 0.05). Question 5: 56.6% said dentists should provide more information. Media sources are gaining importance and status for educating the public information source in pedodontic treatment. The increasing status of education showed a significant difference for confidence in academic facilities.

Cri du chat syndrome (CdCs) is a rare genetic disorder caused by deletion of the end of the short arm of chromosome 5. Affected infants are characterized by a high-pitched monochromatic cry that sounds similar to that of a meowing kitten. The incidence ranges from 1:15,000 to 1:50,000 live-born infants. Oral features of this condition include micrognathia, malocclusions, high but rarely cleft palate, anterior open bite, poor oral hygiene, enamel hypoplasia, chronic periodontitis, and retardation of tooth eruption. This case report presents typical medical and dental symptoms and dental rehabilitation of a 2.5-year-old female with CdCs. The patient was referred to our clinic because of caries arising from poor oral hygiene. The dental symptoms of the patient included hyperemic gingival tissue, abundant plaque, enamel hypoplasia, and tooth decay. Restorative treatment of the caries was completed and oral hygiene recommendations and caries risk factors were presented to the parents.

The alveolar bone support around the transplanted tooth, the stage of root development and apical closure are accepted as basic clinical factors that affect the success of tooth transplantation. Due to its high failure ratio, tooth transplantation is not common in the field of dentistry; however, major advantages of the technique such as continuing physiological root development, formation of interdental papilla, and rapid generation of alveolar bone with a lower cost should be considered. The aim of this report was to present autotransplantation of a third molar into adjacent deep-impacted second molar extraction socket without sufficient alveolar bone support. A 15-year-old healthy male patient referred to Department of Orthodontics due to dental crowding. For left mandibular quadrant, it was multidisciplinary planned to surgical removal of deep-impacted vertically positioned second molar and adjacent impacted mesioangular third molar was re-implanted to its extraction socket. Patient was followed for 4 years; clinical and radiological results were thoroughly sufficient. Even in this borderline case where there is only alveolar bone support on lingual site, autotransplanted tooth can survive successfully.

Recent advances in today′s dentistry and the increased awareness among the patients to maintain their dentition have led to conservative treatment approaches, which once would have been opted for removal. In order to carry out the present day mandate, periodontally diseased or carious teeth with involvement of furcation area may be well retained by separation of their roots. This clinical report describes a case of bicuspidization of mandibular first permanent molar with subsequent double crowns restoration, which yielded a satisfactory result in an 11-year-old young female patient.

Altered dietary habits are becoming etiological factor in the development of dental erosion. Evaluation of changes in microhardness of enamel after exposure to acidic center-filled chewing gums. Exposure of enamel to center filling (concentrated acid) and outer coating along with center filling in artificial saliva (dilute acid) of two chewing gums (Center Fresh and Bubbaloo) to evaluate the difference in microhardness change between primary and permanent enamel, on exposure to concentrated and dilute acids and two chewing gums. A total of 120 primary and permanent molar extracted teeth were painted with acid resistant varnish except a small buccal window and divided into eight groups according to type of dentition, chewing gum and acid exposure. 5 min acid exposures were done twice a day for 5 days. Then, specimens were submitted for microhardness studies. Independent sample t -test and paired t-test were used in statistical analysis. Statistically significant difference in reduction of microhardness is seen between groups exposed to dilute and concentrated acid, reduction of microhardness is more with dilute acids than concentrated acids.; but the difference is seen neither on exposure to two chewing gums nor between primary and permanent enamel. (1) Dilute acid causes a definite reduction in microhardness than concentrated acid. (2) Two types of chewing gums are equally effective. (3) Permanent and primary teeth are equally affected. (4) Outer coating of center-filled chewing gum is not protective against reduction in microhardness of enamel. Therefore, acidic center-filled chewing gums cannot be suggested to children.

There has been a paradigm shift from Black′s "extension for prevention" to a minimal intervention approach in the recent time. To diagnose earliest stages of enamel demineralization, accurate and reliable detection of white spot lesions is very important. The newer diagnostic aids would enable the dentist to detect and diagnose early such lesions and direct appropriate preventive measures to promote remineralization and conservation of the tooth substance. A high level of caries experience necessitates preventive strategies which are more cost-effective than surgical intervention and restorative procedures. The goal of modern dentistry is to manage white lesions non-invasively through remineralization in an attempt to prevent disease progression, and to improve strength, esthetics, and function of teeth.

Avulsion is one of the most complex kinds of trauma that was believed to result in pulp necrosis and therefore require endodontic treatment. This case demonstrates that in avulsion of immature permanent incisors we should consider the revascularization before starting endodontic treatment. Avulsion of an immature permanent central incisor in a 6 and a ½-year-old girl is presented. The girl was brought immediately to a dental office, and the immature tooth was replanted shortly after the avulsion. During 3 years follow-up, continuation of root development, pulp revascularization and bone-like tissue growth into the pulp chamber were observed. The tooth is vital and asymptomatic with no signs of ankylosis.

This case demonstrates that in avulsion of immature permanent incisors we should consider the revascularization before starting endodontic treatment. Avulsion of an immature permanent central incisor in a 6 and a ½-year-old girl is presented. The girl was brought immediately to a dental office, and the immature tooth was replanted shortly after the avulsion. During 3 years follow-up, continuation of root development, pulp revascularization and bone-like tissue growth into the pulp chamber were observed. The tooth is vital and asymptomatic with no signs of ankylosis.","PeriodicalId":16711,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Dentistry","volume":"70 1","pages":"36 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74396318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
