“…In the second molar Mesio buccal root had Type I canal configuration in 90% of teeth and type IV in 10% teeth. Disto buccal had Type I in 100% of the teeth [3][4][5][6][7][8]. In maxillary molars the mesio buccal root had maximum angulations (18.66°), followed by the disto buccal root (15.40°), palatal root (12.29°) showed the least angulations.…”

It is of interest to compile available information on the root canal morphology of primary maxillary molars from known literature. The literature resources used to collect data include Medline/PubMed, The Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, SIGLE and Science Direct. Data consists of type of population, number of teeth per study, number of root canals, canal length and type of root canal configuration. We used data from a total of 13 studies (951 primary maxillary molars). Maxillary molars (1st and 2nd) are dominant for two roots variant. The first molar the mean root length ranges from 7.9mm – 8.1mm. The second molar ranges from 7.2mm-8.5mm. Type I (explain in a phrase) canal morphology is the common variant in both the molars. Data shows that Root Canal morphology shows variations with the diagnostic aid (example micro CT) used and in different ethnic populations.

According to The American Academy of Paediatrics and the American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, a child's first dental visit should be during the child's first year of life for prevention of dental disease and to decrease the invasive restorative interventions. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the age and reason for the first dental visit of a child. A total of 100 children were examined in a cross-sectional study for the age of the child and the reason for their first visit to a dental clinic.A questionnaire was applied to the parents. From the study,it is observed that most of the first dental visit of a child is due to pain-which is 67%. Regarding the age of the first visit, about 58% of the participants responded that they had a consultation done for their child at age of 2-4years. Only 51% of parents consider primary teeth important for the eruption of secondary dentition. Thus, from the present study, it is evident that most of the child's first dental visit is due to pain from caries progression and the age at which they visit revolves around 2-5 years of age. Awareness of parents regarding dental check ups and treatment remains low.

“…hence parents play an important role in the assessment of pain in neonates and toddlers. (reid et al, 1995; The Dental Discomfort questionnaire (DDQ) is a tool devised to recognise pain and to assess the severity of pain in children 2-5 years of age through the reports of parents / caregivers regarding the changes in their child's behaviour. (Knowledge and Attitude of Parents regarding Children's Primary Teeth & their Willingness for Treatment, no date; Versloot, Veerkamp and hoogstraten, 2006;Daher et al, 2014) There are several factors associated with dental pain.…”

Dental pain is considered as one the most common symptoms associated with oral problems. It creates a great impact on the quality of life and if it gets worse, it may even affect the daily activities. In neonates and toddlers, behavioural and psychological variations are used to assess pain. The aims of this study are to evaluate the factors associated with dental pain in toddlers using DDQ. To compare dental pain and dental caries evaluated using ICDAS. To compare the frequency of dental pain and socioeconomic status of parents. A cross sectional study was conducted in Saveetha Dental College Chennai, Tamilnadu. 93 children of the age group 1-4 years (toddlers) were submitted to an oral clinical examination for the evaluation of dental caries using International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). The caregivers of the children were asked to fill a dental discomfort questionnaire along with a questionnaire addressing their socioeconomic and educational status. The factors ``chewing on one side" and "reaching the cheek while chewing are the common associated factors of pain which were observed by the parents and caretakers of the children. Pain scores were higher in patients with caries involving dentin, with or without involving pulp (scores 4 and above). Families with low annual income had increased pain scores. Greater frequencies of pain were observed in families with low income and also in dental caries involving dentin with/without involving pulp.
