“…Reports are not consistent regarding the unilateral or bilateral presence of this anomaly. In our study, most of the three-rooted primary mandibular first molars were unilateral (80%), predominantly on the right side (50%), in agreement with Mathew et al 24 and Tu et al 25 . Other studies report that this variation predominates on the left side 28,29 .…”

“…The study population for this research consists of children from the State of Puebla. General prevalence of supernumerary roots was 0.44% and 0.22% for primary mandibular first and second molars, respectively, which is somewhat lower than values reported for other populations 19,[24][25][26][27] . Reports are not consistent regarding the unilateral or bilateral presence of this anomaly.…”

The aim of this study was to determine prevalence and describe the clinical and radiographic findings of three-rooted primary mandibular first and second molars in a Mexican population. Intraoral periapical radiograph, orthopantomogram or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) were obtained. A total 2284 children from the state of Puebla, Mexico were examined, of whom 20 presented an anatomic variant in tooth crown shape. Of the total teeth with crown alterations, 10 first and 5 second primary mandibular molars were found to have supernumerary roots. In one case, it was possible to obtain micro-CT images. The study recorded prevalence, unilateral or bilateral occurrence, and ratio between sexes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Clinical findings were presence of an anatomical variation (tuberculum paramolare / right and/or left cervical convexity) in primary mandibular first molars. Second molars presented conventional crown morphology. Prevalence of three-rooted primary mandibular first and second molars was 0.44% and 0.22%, respectively. Male: female ratio for presence of threerooted primary mandibular first molars was 4:1, showing genetic predisposition in males, and for second molars it was 1.5:1, with no predisposition according to sex. The clinical and radiographic anatomical variants in primary molars should be considered by pediatric dentists during routine care because they may cause difficulties in restorations.

“…A study done by Dhanalakshmi et al, concludes that the prevalence of early loss of primary teeth was present predominantly in male children (54.64%) in comparison to female children (43.35%) which was statistically significant (P = 0.03). The most commonly affected were the mandibular teeth (58.63%), the most common tooth being the first molar (44%) followed by second molar (33%) (Pramila et al, 2016;Mathew and Soni, 2019;Jayachandar et al, 2019;Jeevanandan et al, 2019;Nikita et al,2021). A study done by Ganesh et al concludes that Kedo -s rotary files was effective during root canal preparation of primary teeth with reduction in instrumentation time and better quality of obturation.…”

Pulpectomy is a root canal procedure for pulp tissue which is irreversibly inflamed or necrotic. The root canals are debried, cleaned and shaped and obturated with resorbable materials. It prevents the premature loss of primary teeth. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pulpectomy procedure done in mandibular primary molars with distal caries who visited Department of Pedodontics. A retrospective study was carried out in patients who visited Saveetha Dental College. The data were collected from patients records between July 2019-March 2020. The collected data were entered in an Excel sheet and subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software.The results has shown that 4&6 years old children (35% and 40%) have highly undergone pulpectomy procedures. About 55% mandibular second primary molars are mostly affected with distal caries and underwent pulpectomy. The study concludes that mandibular 2nd primary molars are highly affected with distal caries. Early detection of caries can prevent premature loss of teeth and provide excellent prognosis

Dental anxiety has been identified as a significant problem in both children and adults and is considered an obstacle in the provision of quality dental care by dental care providers. Music is an alternate treatment option which has been used in different medical fields. Suitable music has been shown to have a strong influence on human brain waves. The aim of the study is to estimate the effect of music therapy for anxiety in children. 60 children aged 7-9years were divided into two groups, Group I: treatment without music and Group II: treatment with music. The treatment done for the children included scaling and pit and fissure sealant application. The method followed for this study was the coin toss method. The analysis was done using SPSS software.The results showed that the pulse rate in children treated with music is decreased. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure is also decreased in children treated with music. A drastic variation was observed in the pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Within the limits of the study, music therapy helps children with anxiety.
