However, existing literature does not provide adequate insights regarding retentive strength various types luting cement these newly developed BFCs. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate and compare BFCs SSCs different (glass ionomer [GIC], resin-modified glass [RMGIC], self-adhesive resin [SARC], polycarboxylate [PXC]). A total 160...

A mucocele is the most common minor salivary gland disease and among biopsied oral lesions in pediatric patients. Clinically, a appears as round well-circumscribed painless swelling ranging from deep blue to mucosa alike color. Mucoceles rarely resolve on their own surgical removal under local anesthesia required cases. Different treatment options are described literature, including cryosurgery, intra-lesion injection of corticosteroid, micro-marsupialization conventional using scalpel,...

Abstract Background Clinical studies comparing retention rates of pit and fissure sealants placed under Isolite, rubber dam, cotton roll combined have not been conducted until now. Aim To evaluate the rate (PFS) three different isolation techniques (Isolite system [IS], dam [RDI], [CRI]). Design One hundred forty‐four teeth from 48 children aged 6–15 years attending paediatric dental clinics at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia were randomized to receive PFS using techniques. The that met...

Background: Permanent blackish discoloration of the tooth structure post application silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is one its drawbacks. Several restorative materials have been used to restore and mask SDF-treated teeth. Recently, a new self-adhesive material has introduced marketed as an all-in-one etchant, adhesive, indicated for use in all clinical situations. This study aimed assess shear bond strength compare it with adhesive materials- resin-based composite resin-modified glass ionomer...

It comparable to glass ionomer cement (GIC) resin-modified (RMGIC) due fluoride-release ability usage esthetically concerned areas. This study aimed assess the shear bond strength (SBS) comparison with GIC RMGIC (2) Methods: The sample included 120 extracted sound primary molars was...

Background/Aim Managing young children with negative behaviors can be challenging in dental settings. Moderate sedation (MS) is often used as a treatment option for such children. However, children's behavior during MS may vary depending on several variables. These variables include parental factors, anxiety, coping strategies, and pain catastrophizing. this area, particularly Saudi Arabia, remains underexplored. Therefore, study aimed to assess the association among style, catastrophizing,...
