  Assessment of Pain Perception in Children During Local Anesthesia and Tooth Extraction Procedures: A Clinical Study

  Gul Aydin, Elif; Tatli, Esra Ceren; Yilmaz, Neslihan

  Objective: Evaluation and comparison of pain in pedi- atric patients following local anesthesia administration and primary tooth extraction using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WBS). Material and Methods: A total of 90 children (age between 4-11 years) whose teeth were indicated for extraction for various reasons were included in the study. Before dental treatments, behavioral man- agement was given to all children with the tell-show-do technique. Fol- lowing topical anesthesia, local anesthetics were applied to the relevant area, and tooth extractions were performed. Perceived pain after local anesthesia and tooth extraction was recorded separately by asking the patients using the WBS. Mean values and standard deviations were cal- culated and comparisons between groups were made with the Mann- Whitney U test. Results: The mean WBS value was 4.49, with the highest palatal infiltration anesthesia. Following this, 3.8 in the mandibular block, 3.42 in lingual, 2.3 in buccal infiltration anesthesia, and 1.2 in tooth extraction respectively. There was no statistically sig- nificant difference between the genders in the WBS values after tooth extraction, mandibular block anesthesia, buccal, palatal and lingual in- filtration anesthesia (p 0.05). Conclusion: As a result of this study, palatal infiltration and mandibular block anesthesia were identified as the most painful anesthesia techniques perceived by children.

  Investigation of root apical closure of first permanent molars with cone-beam computed tomography: A retrospective study

  Kalabalık, Fahrettin; Yılmaz, Neslihan; Aydın, Elif Gül; Aytuğar, Emre

  Background/purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the root apical closure ages of first permanent molars retrospectively among a group of western Turkish children aged between 5 and 15 years using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and methods: CBCT images of 202 patients were examined. The patients were divided into 7 groups according to age: ≤8 years, 8–8.99 years, 9–9.99 years, 10–10.99 years, 11–11.99 years, 12–12.99 years, and ≥13 years. Teeth with at least one open apex were considered as ‘teeth with open apex’ and teeth with all closed apices were considered as ‘teeth with closed apex’. The data was evaluated by Pearson Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. P value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Apical closure rate of the maxillary first molars was 4.1%, 32.2%, 55.4%, 76.2%, and 90.6% at 8–8.99 years, 9–9.99 years, 10–10.99 years, 11–11.99 years, and 12–12.99 years, respectively. Apical closure rate of the mandibular first molars was 4.4%, 41.2%, 70.7%, 80.0%, and 92.2% at 8–8.99 years, 9–9.99 years, 10–10.99 years, 11–11.99 years, and 12–12.99 years, respectively. At 12–12.99 years, females had a significantly higher rate of closed root apices of mandibular first molars than males (P < 0.05). At 9–9.99 and 12–12.99 years, females had a significantly higher rate of closed root apices of maxillary molars than males (P < 0.05). Conclusion: CBCT is a useful tool for the evaluation of root development. The results of present study can provide valuable aids for clinicians during root canal treatment of permanent first molars.
