In recent years a strategy of selective, symptom-based intervention of carious primary teeth has been developed amongst some British general dental practitioners. Practice-based studies appear to provide evidence that policies of restoration of symptomless carious primary teeth do not confer any significant benefits above those associated with non-restorative care. However, results from these s...

Aim Conservative procedures using dentin bonding agents are one of the important aspects of paediatric dental practice. The objective of this in vitro study was to comparatively evaluate the microleakage of two self etching adhesives in primary and permanent teeth. Materials and methods Sixtyfour human anterior teeth (thirty-two primary and thirty-two permanent) were divided into four groups: p...

Mortal pulpotomy is the most commonly used technique in Bulgaria for treatment of pulp chronic infections in primary teeth. Data from the special literature reveal another method for pulp treatment in primary teeth – vital pulpotomy associated with good adaptive healing response. During the past several years, special attention has been paid to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate -MTA as probable altern...

Background and Aim: There have been attempts to restore destroyed primary anterior teeth using a variety of post and core systems, which were able to solve just part of the problems related to this issue. Therefore, the present study aimed to inves-tigate the fracture resistance of restorations supported with a variety of posts and cores in primary anterior teeth. Materials and Methods: The pr...

PURPOSE This in vitro study was performed to correlate the presence of discoloration on occlusal surfaces with its histological depth and assess its influence on Diagnodent measurements in a group of permanent and primary teeth. METHODS Ninty-five primary and 95 permanent third molars were randomly selected from a pool of macroscopically intact teeth. One site of the fissure on each occlusal ...
