Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the Prevalence of MIH in a group of Egyptian children attending the Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, Investigate morphological characteristics and any associated causes of MIH and Investigate the relationship of MIH to dental caries.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate clinically and radiographically the carious dentin treated with Ozone, Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (Tooth Mousse) mixed with Glass Ionomer and Glass Ionomer Cement only in primary molars of 4-8 years old children (In vivo study), and 2) Compare the micro hardness of carious dentin treated with Ozone, Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (Tooth Mousse) mixed with Glass Ionomer and Glass Ionomer Cement only in extracted primary molars (In vitro study). Design: Forty five primary molars with proximal caries in children, ranging in their age from 4-8 years old. They were equally divided into three groups (15 each) according to the materials were used for restoration. The first group was restored with glass ionomer cement, the second group was restored with Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) incorporated with glass ionomer cement, and the third group was pretreated with ozonized olive oil then restored with glass ionomer cement. Also this study was carried out on forty five freshly extracted carious primary molars, which divided equally into three groups and restored as mentioned before in clinical cases and examined for microhardness assessment. Results: the greatest value of mean radiodensity was recorded in Tooth Mousse group followed by Glass ionomer group then Ozone group. However there was no statistically significant difference between the three groups. Conclusion: Casein phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (Tooth Mousse) mixed with Glass ionomer cement as well as glass ionomer alone seemed to be successful as a remineralizing agent in primary molars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
