Abstract

Objectives : To evaluate and compare the efficiency, marginal leakage and shear bond strength of Carisolv and Papacarie in primary molars. Method: Freshly extracted 60 human carious primary molars were randomly divided into two experimental groups - Group I [ caries removal by Carisolv ] and Group II [ caries removal by Papacarie ]. The amount of time taken for complete caries removal was recorded using a stopwatch. After bonded restorations, both the experimental groups were further randomly subdivided into four experimental groups and subjected to marginal leakage and shear bond strength evaluation. Results : Papacarie [ 337.67 ± 18.13 ] was clinically more efficient than Carisolv [461.33 ± 27.76 ] in removing caries with respect to time in seconds. 66.7% of teeth treated with Carisolv did not show any marginal leakage as compared to 20% with Papacarie. The mean [ ± SD ] shear bond strength of Carisolv [ 9.67 ± 3.80 ] treated teeth was slightly more when compared to Papacarie [ 8.36 ± 4.51]. Conclusion :Papacarie was clinically more efficient in caries removal but showed significantly more marginal leakage than Carisolv.

Abstract

Objective: Assessing the pulp status plays a vital role in diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry especially in children, who may not be able to verbalize their dental symptoms. Pulp sensibility test is used as a valuable investigation to evaluate the state of pulp. The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency and reliability of thermal and electrical pulp tests in primary teeth and to rule out the anxiety level involved in each tests., Study Design: 30 children aged between 6 to 8 years with carious primary molar teeth in need of conservative pulp therapy were included in this study. 3 tests at random were employed on each tooth which includes cold, heat, electrical pulp test. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were evaluated based on the clinical visual examination on access opening and the accuracy for each test was calculated. The Facial Image Scale (FIS) was used to assess the state of dental anxiety in children due to these pulp sensibility tests., Results: The highest accuracy rate was calculated for EPT (0.814) followed by cold test (0.777) and heat test (0.759)., Conclusion: No significant association was found between the accuracy of all the three tests. (P value > 0.05). Cold test is the most reliable test due to its simplicity and ease to perform. (FIS -1.53).
