Pulpal response of four calcium hydroxide liners, MPC 10, MPC 12, Dycal and Pulpdent were tested on primary and permanent teeth with zinc oxide and eugenol (ZOE) and silicate as controls. Responses of the pulps were evaluatedi in Rhesus monkeys, utilizing Class V cavity preparations at 3 days, 5 and 8 weeks.

Avulsed teeth need to be replanted at the earliest in order to insure the best possible pr...

Aim Dental anomalies in shape and number may be present isolated or associated with other manifestations. In anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia they occur more frequently and severely. The authors examined a group of children with similar dental anomalies but no other ectodermal or extra-ectodermal signs. Methods This study makes a comparative evaluation of similarities and differences of dental a...
