Failure of dental treatment caused by anxiety is a common problem in children. Oral midazolam has been the most commonly used premedication for pediatric patient but use may be associated with paradoxical reactions Melatonin induce natural sleepiness and improve sedation. We have investigated melatonin compared children under nitrous oxide/oxygen (N(2)O/O(2)) sedation treatment.In randomized study, 60 received either 3 mg [Melatonina (3 mg(R)) min before procedure (n = 15); group I], 0.5...

Background and objective In paediatric dentistry, when anxiety, fear of dental procedures or behavioural impairment precludes the conduct treatments, sedation are required. However, at desired level might not be achieved despite administration various agents. The present study aimed to evaluate effectiveness oral premedication with different agents on children scheduled for treatment under nitrous oxide/oxygen (N2O/O2) sedation. Methods research was approved by Ethics Committee Gazi...

Dye penetration evaluated under a stereomicroscope, and data statistically analyzed...

Background. The chronic recommendation of pediatric drugs could exhibit erosive and cariogenic problems. Objective. To evaluate the effects different on color stability various restorative materials. Methods. Five specimens (1 mm × 3 mm) were prepared immersed in ten agitated every 8 hours daily for 2 min up to 1 week. Between immersion periods, samples stored artificial saliva. After 1-week period, ΔE⁎ values calculated. Two-way ANOVA Fisher's LSD test used statistical analysis at a level p...

Objective: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence dental fear, relationship between fear and caries dentist appearance most likely reduce anxiety among children. In way, treatment could be made more effective by changing dentist's appearance. Study Design: “Children's Fear Survey Schedule–Dental Subscale” a questionnaire ‘designed examine children's preferences for their appearance’, administered 810 patients 6–12 years age. Patients examined after completing questionnaires,...
