Pediatric professionals treat nature’s most benevolent creation i.e., the child.It is important to focus not only on oral health but also on the overall health of the pediatric patient because oral health is an integral part of total development.There are various dental materials ranging from diagnosis to rehabilitation for the management of oral...

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a diverse collection of inherited diseases that exhibit quantitative or qualitative tooth enamel defects in the absence of systemic manifestations. Also known by varied names such as Hereditary enamel dysplasia, Hereditary brown enamel, Hereditary brown opalescent teeth, this defect is entirely ectodermal, since meso...

Background: Dental anxiety is an important component of distress to patients in the dental operatory. If the dentist is aware of the level of anxiety of his patient, he is not only forewarned about the patient’s behavior but can also take measures to help reduce the anxiety during the operative procedure. Patients who are highly anxious about denta...

Introduction: Children under the age of 5 years generally spent their time with their parents and guardians, especially mothers, even during they attend pre-schools or nurseries. It is seen that oral health in infants is an outcome of parental knowledge and beliefs. Aim: To evaluate Oral health related knowledge, attitude, and practices by preschoo...

Cleft palate is a birth defect occurring in the orofacial region. The cleft palate is associated with feeding difficulties, Eustachian tube dysfunction, middle ear infections, hearing loss, speech disorders, dental and orthodontic problems. Feeding plate is a prosthetic aid that is designed to seal the cleft and restore the separation between oral...

Background: Toothbrush serves to be an important mechanical tool in maintaining oral hygiene. In today’s era of modern medicine, with a finite knowledge and awareness about toothbrush disinfection, this tool could be reason for cross‑contamination. Thus, the study aimed at comparison of the efficacy of two different mouth rinses (chlorhexidine and...

Dental caries comprise the single most chronic disease affecting children today. Evidence increasingly suggests that for successful prevention of dental caries, preventive interactions must begin early. Gynecologists and pediatricians are more likely to see expecting mothers and infants much earlier than the dentist. They counsel mothers on nutriti...

This study’s purpose was to compare Indian parental perceptions about speech changes seen in their children following premature extractions of maxillary primary incisors (PEMPI) and their Awareness regarding role of primary maxillary incisors in proper speech development of the child. Methods: Parents of healthy 3 to 6-year-old children, with mild,...

Introduction: Pulpotomy technique is most widely accepted clinical procedure for treating primary teeth with coronal pulp inflammation caused by caries with no involvement of the radicular pulp. Aim and Objective: Evaluation andComparision of antimicrobial activity of MTA to Antioxidant Mix used as a pulpotomy agent- In vitro study Materials and Me...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that may motivate children to practice good oral hygiene. Method: children regarding their histories with caries, perceived confidence in brushing, self susceptibility and vulnerability for caries and/or poor oral health, and to practicing oral hygiene. Results: some viewe...

Unlabelled: The challenge that practicing dentists face every day is to decide which dental material is best suited for each dental treatment. New glass-ionomer cement (GIC) formulations have been introduced in order to overcome the drawbacks of conventional ones thereby catering to the needs of the pediatric population. Aim and objective: The s...

Objective: The study was aimed to compare the clinical performance of newer chemo-mechanical caries removal system and conventional cavity preparation technique in children. Study Design: Forty primary molars or first permanent molars of twenty children between the age groups of seven to ten years were selected randomly and divided into two groups...

Depending on the frequency and type of intake, milk can affect caries formation by virtue of its demineralisation- remineralisation properties. The effect of A2 milk on human dentition is still unexplored. Hence,the aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the remineralising and adsorption properties of regular cow milk and A2 milk usin...

Aims and objectives: The aims and objectives of this study were to evaluate and compare the flexural strength and microhardness of zinc reinforced glass ionomer cement and glass ionomer type IX cement. Materials and methods: The sample size of twenty each of group I (zinc-reinforced glass ionomer cement) and group II (glass ionomer type IX cemen...

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of Jet Injector and Topical Anesthetic Gel in reducing pain during Palatal Infiltration in Children of 6 to 12 years. Study Design: A randomized control trial including 12 children divided under two groups which includes Jet injector (Madajet) and a topical anesthetic gel (2% lidocaine) for pal...

Background: Dental caries is chronic infectious disease affected by diet and cariogenic microorganisms. Streptococcus mutans is associated with the initiation of caries, and lactobacilli are associated with disease progression. Chlorhexidine is used as a gold standard mouthwash, but it has some side effects such as unpleasant taste and staining on...

Unlabelled: Despite advances in the development of anticaries chemotherapy, the newer agents are unable to control the initiation of dental caries. Research and development of natural antibacterial agents that are safe for the host as well as specific for oral pathogens is awaited. Neem tree extracts have been used for thousands of years for maint...

Evaluation and co-relation of the caries susceptibility using Oratest, colorimetric Snyder's test and salivary Streptococcus mutans count amongst children in the age group of 6-8 years. A total of 120 healthy children were grouped into control and test groups according to their dmft/DMFT scores. Snyder's test, salivary S. mutans count and Oratest w...

Dental caries is an important dental public health problem and is the most prevalent oral disease among children in the world.
