Dental caries is one of the most prevalent, biofilm mediated, sugar-driven, and multifactorial dynamic diseases affecting most of the population, regardless of age, sex, or race. 1 Worldwide, approximately 36% of the population has dental caries in their permanent teeth, and in primary teeth, the incidence is about 9%. The overall prevalence rate of dental caries in children worldwide is 46.2% in primary teeth, whereas it is about 53.8% in permanent teeth. The reasons could be due to changes in dietary habits, illiteracy, improper oral hygiene practices, a dearth in the awareness on the significance of primary teeth, deficiency of conveyance facilities, and access to oral healthcare services. 2,3 Dental plaque is a major etiological factor in the initiation and progression of oral diseases such as dental caries and gingivitis. Plaque has a diverse microbial composition, out of which S. mutans is considered to be the primary contributing factor responsible for the initiation of dental caries. 4 Therefore, caries control programs include chemoprophylactic agents that target S. mutans. Plaque control can be accomplished either mechanically or chemically or by a combination of both. Mechanical plaque control includes tooth brushing and flossing. However, it may be limited by several factors, such as lack of time, poor manual dexterity skills, or deficient motivation. 5 Hence, a customary approach is to support mechanical plaque removal with a chemotherapeutic agent.

Hence in this study we compared efficiency of strip crowns versus primary anterior zirconium crowns in 3 to 6 year old children. Material and Methods: We selected 100 children of ages 3-6 years to receive the anterior crowns, attending the institution department of pedodontics. They were divided to 50 each of zirconia and strip crown groups. The various parameters were checked at 3,6 and 12 months. Values were compared keeping p<0.05 as significant. Results: Zirconia crowns showed significantly lower plaque accumulation, gingival bleeding restoration failure, at the 3- and 6-months no, but more wear to opposing teeth. With regards to recurrent caries no significant difference was found between the two crowns. Conclusion: Based on our data we conclude that overtime teeth covered with zirconia crowns show better gingival health and less bleeding, plaque accumulation as well as less loss of material. O...

Research paper thumbnail of Chemomechanical Removal of Caries – An Invasive Method as Extension for Prevention: A Review

Conventionally, the only effective method of eliminating the disease was to completely remove all of the demineralized area of the tooth structure. Even the smallest area of demineralization required the excavation of a standard amount of sound tooth structure to prevent the progression of disease. Chemomechanical caries removal (CMCR) is a non-invasive technique in which chemical agents are used to eliminate the infected dentin. This dissolution-based caries removal method uses a chemical agent assisted by atraumatic mechanical vigor for the excavation of soft carious dentine. This technique was developed by Dr. G. V. Black as "extension for prevention" which led to specific of sound tooth structure. In later years, the profession moved toward practicing preventive dentistry and following more conservative and tooth-preserving procedures. This paper discusses newer invasive techniques for caries excavation.
