Objective: Bruxism is a jaw muscle activity disorder characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth and can be seen in both children and adults. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the parental knowledge about bruxism in children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 265 parents whose children were attended at University of Mersin pediatric dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics. Children’s ages varied from 6 months to 16 years old. A 20-questioned questionnaire was used to collect the data. IBM SPSS Statistics 22 for statistical analysis (SPSS IBM, Turkey) program was used for the analysis. Re . . .sults: A total of 265 parents (159 were female and 106 were male) participated in the study. The majority of the parents were between the ages of 31-40 (60.8%). The rate of clenching and grinding of teeth during sleep (21.5%) was higher than the rate when they were awake (7.2%). The ratio of the parents seeking treatment for their children because of this harmful habit was very low (3.8%). The majortiy of parents (37.7%) reported that they seek help from dentists. The participants believed that bruxism was associated with dental problems (33.6%) and emotional factors (32.8%). A significant difference was found between the educational background of the parents and the ability to define bruxism. Conclusion: Parents had inadequate knowledge about bruxism in children and this was mostly related to the educational background of the parents. Objetivo: El bruxismo es un trastorno de la actividad muscular de la mandíbula que se caracteriza por apretar o rechinar los dientes y se pueden ver tanto en niños como en adultos. El propósito de este estudio es evaluar el conocimiento de los padres sobre el bruxismo en sus niños. Métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal con 265 padres cuyos hijos fueron atendidos en las clínicas de Odontología Pediátrica y Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial de la Universidad de Mersin. Las edades de los niños variaron de 6 meses a 16 años. Se utilizó un cuestionario de 20 preguntas para recopilar los datos. Para el análisis estadístico de los datos se utilizó el programa IBM SPSS Statistics 22 (SPSS IBM, Turquía). Resultados: Un total de 265 padres (159 mujeres y 106 hombres) participaron en el estudio. La mayoría de los padres tenían entre 31 y 40 años (60.8%). La tasa de niños que apretan y rechinan los dientes durante el sueño (21.5%) fue mayor que la tasa de los que lo hacen cuando están despiertos (7,2%). La proporción de padres que buscan tratamiento para sus hijos debido a este hábito dañino fue muy baja (3.8%). La mayoría de los padres (37.7%) informaron que buscan ayuda de los dentistas. Los participantes creían que el bruxismo estaba asociado con problemas dentales (33,6%) y factores emocionales (32,8%). Se encontró una diferencia significativa entre la formación académica de los padres y la capacidad de definir bruxismo. Conclusión: Los padres tenían un conocimiento inadecuado sobre el bruxismo en niños y esto estaba relacionado principalmente con la formación educativa de los padres Daha fazlası Daha az

Background: Post-operative pain (PP) following pulpectomy is of concern for endodontic patients and dentists. Aim: This study evaluated the intensity of PP following pulpectomy in primary maxillary molars, using two irrigation needles. Design: One hundred patients in ages ranging from 6-9 years requiring pulpectomy for asymptomatic primary teeth with non-vital pulp were included in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups of 50 patients each, according to the type of irrigation needle used, that is, a conventional open-ended needle and a double side-vented needle. The teeth were obturated and then permanently . . . restored. The presence of PP was assessed after six, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours, and finally after one week, using a four-point pain intensity scale. The PP scores were then statistically analysed. Results: In 6, 12, and 24 hours time intervals, patients who had their teeth irrigated with the open-ended needle exhibited more intense PP than those who had their teeth irrigated with a double side-vented needle (P < .05). After 48 hours, 72 hours, and 1 week, however there was no significant difference between the groups (P > .05). Conclusions: Side-vented needles may be preferred in order to decrease PP at the first 24 hours after pulpectomy in primary molars Daha fazlası Daha az

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of apical plugs made of four different materials in simulated immature teeth. Materials and Methods: Ninety extracted single-rooted teeth were selected and randomly divided into six groups according to the materials used: NeoMTA, EndoSequence Bioceramic Root Repair Material Fast Set Putty (BC RRM-FS), Biodentine, Endo Repair, negative control, and positive control group. Microleakage was evaluated by using a stereomicroscope to assess the penetration of methylene blue solution. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Chi-square test (P < 0.05). . . .Results: EndoRepair group showed the highest leakage, and NeoMTA group exhibited the best sealing ability of apical plugs. The sealing ability of Biodentine was similar to NeoMTA and BC RRM-FS. On the other hand, the sealing ability of BC RRM-FS significantly lower than NeoMTA, but it provided a better sealing than EndoRepair. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, NeoMTA and Biodentine can be used safely as apical plug material in single-session apexification in immature teeth. The BC RRM-FS, on the other hand, provided an acceptable sealing, although not as successful as the NeoMTA. However, the sealing properties of Endo Repair need to be improved Daha fazlası Daha az

Özet: Bu çalışmanın amacı çocukluk çağı kanser tedavisi tamamlanmış hastaları, ağız diş sağlığı durumları ve dental anomaliler açısından sağlıklı çocuklarla karşılaştırılmalı şekilde değerlendirmektir. Çalışmaya kanser tedavisi tamamlanmış 50 hasta ve herhangi bir sistemik hastalığı bulunmayan 51 sağlıklı birey olmak üzere toplamda 101 kişi dahil edildi. Hastaların klinik muayenesinde ağızdaki yumuşak ve sert dokular incelendi, mine defektleri, dental bozukluklar, DMFT/dft, plak indeksi, gingival indeks skorları değerlendirildi. Radyografik muayene ile dişlerin kök gelişimleri, apikal kapanma durumu, diş eksiklikleri kaydedildi. Eld . . .e edilen verilerin analizi IBM SPSS Statistics 21 ile gerçekleştirildi. t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve Ki-Kare analizleri kullanıldı. DMFT skoru ortalaması vaka grubunda 3,20±3,33 iken kontrol grubunda 1,98±2,72 idi. İki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olduğu belirlendi (p=0,047). Silness plak indeksi ve Gingival kanama indeks skoru açısından vaka ve kontrol grupları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır (p>0,05). Gelişimsel dental defektler arasında kısa V şekilli durmuş kök gelişimi 5 yaş altında tedavi alan hastalarda ortalama dört kat fazla görüldü. Mikrodonti saptanan hastaların ise 5 yaş altında tedavi alan grupta, 5 yaş üstünde tedavi alan gruba göre yaklaşık üç kat fazla olduğu görüldü. Kanser tedavisi almış grupta kontrol grubuna göre ağız hijyeninin daha kötü, DMFT skorlarının daha yüksek olduğu ve 5 yaş altında alınan kanser tedavilerinde bazı dental anomalilerin daha sık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu konuda daha geniş örneklem gruplarında ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the patients who have completed childhood cancer treatment in comparison with healthy children in terms of oral dental health and dental anomalies. A total of 101 patients, including 50 patients with cancer treatment (case group) and 51 healthy individuals (control group) without any systemic disease, were included in the study. In the clinical examination of the patients, soft and hard tissues in the mouth were examined, enamel defects, dental disorders, DMFT / dmft, plaque index, gingival index scores were evaluated. In the radiographic examination, root development of the teeth, apical closure, tooth deficiencies were recorded. The analysis of the data obtained was performed with IBM SPSS Statistics 21. T-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Chi-Square analysis were used. The mean DMFT score was 3.20 ± 3.33 in the case group and 1.98 ± 2.72 in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.047). There was no statistically significant difference between the case and control groups in terms of the Silness plaque index and gingival bleeding index score (p> 0.05). Among the developmental dental defects, the short V-shaped root development was observed on average 4 times more in patients under 5 years of age. The patients with microdontia were found to be about 3 times more in the group under 5 years of age than in the group over 5 years of age. It was found that oral hygiene was worse, DMFT scores were higher in the case group compared to the control group, and some dental anomalies were more common in cancer treatments under 5 years old. Further studies are needed in larger sample groups Daha fazlası Daha az

Purpose Postoperative pain following root canal treatment is a concern for pediatric patients and pediatric dentists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of using sonic activation (SA) on postoperative pain levels after root canal therapy of primary molars. Methods A total of 110 patients aged 5–9 years with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis involving primary molars were included in the study and were randomly divided into two groups according to agitation methods: SA and no sonic activation (NSA). Root canal treatments were completed, and the teeth were restored permanently. Postoperative pain levels were evaluated . . . using the five-face scale at 8, 24, 48, and 72 h and 1 week after treatment. Pain levels and frequency of analgesic intake were recorded and analyzed. Results Postoperative pain values were lower in the SA group than in the NSA group at 8, 24, and 48 h after treatment (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of postoperative pain values at 72 h and 1 week after treatment (p > 0.05). Conclusions It was determined that the use of SA reduces postoperative pain level significantly after root canal treatment in primary molar teeth. Clinical relevance The use of SA can be recommended to clinicians since it is effective in the successful management of postoperative pain of root canal treatment in primary molar teeth Daha fazlası Daha az

Purpose: Differences in the endodontic microbiome of permanent and primary teeth during the mixed dentition period are still unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine bacterial diversity in endodontically infected primary and permanent teeth using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the QIIME 2 (Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology 2) bioinformatics pipeline. Methods: Microbial samples from endodontically infected primary (n equals 15) and permanent (n equals 15) maxillary or mandibular molar teeth were subjected to next-generation sequencing analysis based on examination of the hypervariable V3 to V4 region of the 16S rRNA . . . gene. Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Results: Of 1,664,926 reads and 2,237 operational taxonomic units, 14 phyla, 89 families, and 236 genera were identified. Firmicutes were the most commonly detected phyla in both endodontically infected primary and permanent root canals. Bacteroides and Proteobacteria were more common in primary teeth, whereas Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia were more common in permanent teeth. The overall canal microbiota composition was similar in endodontically infected primary and permanent teeth (P=0.338). Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of microbiota composition in endodontically infected primary and permanent teeth and gives a deeper insight into the origin of the root canal infections Daha fazlası Daha az

Objective: This study investigated the effects of three types of mouthwash on the color stability of three resin-based restorative materials (nanohybrid resin composite, sonic-activated bulk-fill material, and compomer). Materials and Methods: To this end, 120 cylindrical disc specimens were prepared and polished, after which they were incubated in distilled water for 24 hours for post-polymerization. The baseline color values of each specimen were measured with a spectrophotometer, then the specimens were randomly divided into four groups. Following immersion in the mouthwashes for 24 hours, the specimens were rinsed with distilled . . . water and dried before the color measurement was repeated. The values of color change (ΔE₀₀) were subsequently calculated. A two-way analysis of variance and Duncan’s post hoc multiple comparison tests were conducted to determine statistically significant differences among the restorative materials. Results: All samples showed discoloration after immersion, albeit some instances of discoloration were imperceptible. In this respect, a statistically significant difference was found among the restorative materials and mouthwashes ( Daha fazlası Daha az

BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of tactile sensation, digital periapical radiography, and two varieties of electronic apex locators (EALs) as methods of determining working length in root canal treatment for primary molars. MATERIAL and METHODS In this study, 30 infected mandibular primary second molar teeth in 12 children aged 5-8 years were analyzed. The working length was determined for each tooth using the tactile sensation, digital radiography, the ProPex PixiVR, and IpexVR apex locators separately. RESULTS The mean root canal measurements taken using tactile sensation, Ipex, radiography, . . . and Propex Pixi were 11.02 6 2.05 mm, 9.47 6 1.71 mm, 9.73 6 1.57 mm, and 8.85 6 1.58 mm, respectively. The radiographic method yielded results that were similar to those derived with the apex locators but differed from the measurements obtained via tactile sensation. CONCLUSION EALs can be used to safely determine the working length in root canal treatment for primary molars Daha fazlası Daha az
