Prematurely erupted teeth are rare in fullterm neonates and extremely prematurely delivered infants. The aim of this study was to present macroscopic scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations primary preterm very low birthweight (VLBW) (ELBW) Three VLBW ELBW infants with lower incisors were examined. dental examination assessed the type, location, clinical appearance, degree mobility te...

The relation between the bonding efficacy of the dentin adhesive and the physical change of the dentin after treatment with various dentin cleansers was investigated. The dentin surface was cleaned with one of the seven experimental dentin cleansers, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40% of the phosphoric acid, neutralized 0.5 M EDTA solution (pH 7.4) and 9.1% pyruvic acid containing 9.1% glycine, prior to the...

This study evaluated the effect of dentin surface treatment on shear bond strengths of two light- cured glass ionomer restorative materials to dentin. Cylinders of Fuji II LC and VariGlass VLC were bonded to dentin surfaces that were untreated, treated with a 10% polyacrylic acid (GC Conditioner), or treated with a dentin bonding agent primer (Prisma Universal Bond 3 Primer). Specimens were the...

Dentinal bridge formation and pulpal responses of four calcium hydroxide materials, pulp capping medicaments, MPC, Experimental MPC-12, Dycal and Pulpdent, were evaluated in primary and permanent monkey teeth. A total of 60 primary and 60 permanent teeth were used with each material placed in a Class V cavity exposure in Rhesus monkey teeth. The materials were placed on the exposed pulp tissue ...

The relatlon between the bonding eMcacy ef the dentin adhesive and the physical change of the dentin after treatment with various dentin cleansers was investigated, The dentin surface was cleaned with one of the seven experimental dentin cleansers, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40% of the phosphoric acid, neutralized O,5M EDTA solution (pH7.4) and 9.1% pyruvic acid containing 9,1% glycin, prior to the comb...

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate residual dentin thickness of the root and the area of the canal lumen in the coronal region of the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals of the lower first molars after canal preparation with the common method of using hand files and Gates Glidden drills or ProTaper rotary files, by Spiral Ct-Scan. Materials and Methods: In this exp...

The mechanical properties of enamel and dentin were studied using test specimens having the same shape and dimensions because these properties might vary with the experimental conditions and specimen shapes and dimensions. Healthy human teeth were used as specimens for mechanical tests. The stress (MPa), strain (%), and elastic modulus (E, MPa) of the specimens were obtained from compression te...

D ENTIN DYSPLASIA was first reported in 1922 by Ballschmiedel who described six children in one family whose teeth had short, blunted roots with pulpal occlusion that he called “rootless teeth.” Rushton2 later described a similar condition in an individual without evidence of genetic inheritance that he labeled “dental dysplasia. ” Cases have been reported in the literature that describe dentin...
