RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Several materials have been developed to preserve pulp vitality. They should have ideal cytocompatibility characteristics to promote the activity of stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and thus heal pulp tissue. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of different dilutions of bioceramic material extracts in SHED. METHODOLOGY: SHED were immersed in αMEM + the material extract according to the following experimental groups: Group 1 (G1) -BBio membrane, Group 2 (G2) - Bio-C Repair, Group 3 (G3) - MTA Repair HP, Group 4 (G4) - TheraCal LC, and Group 5 (G5) - Biodentine. Positive and negative control groups were maintained respectively in αMEM + 10% FBS and Milli-Q Water. The methods to analyze cell viability and proliferation involved MTT and Alamar Blue assays at 24, 48, and 72H after the contact of the SHED with bioceramic extracts at 1:1 and 1:2 dilutions. Data were analyzed by the three-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's test (p<0.05). RESULTS: At 1:1 dilution, SHED in contact with the MTA HP Repair extract showed statistically higher cell viability than the other experimental groups and the negative control (p<0.05), except for TheraCal LC (p> 0.05). At 1:2 dilution, BBio Membrane and Bio-C showed statistically higher values in intra- and intergroup comparisons (p<0.05). BBio Membrane, Bio-C Repair, and Biodentine extracts at 1:1 dilution showed greater cytotoxicity than 1:2 dilution in all periods (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: MTA HP Repair showed the lowest cytotoxicity even at a 1:1 dilution. At a 1:2 dilution, the SHED in contact with the BBio membrane extract showed high cell viability. Thus, the BBio membrane would be a new non-cytotoxic biomaterial for SHED. Results offer possibilities of biomaterials that can be indicated for use in clinical regenerative procedures of the dentin-pulp complex.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic response of pulp-dentin complex after selective caries removal with or without pulp lining in primary teeth. Material and Methods: Twenty-four primary molars with deep occlusal caries lesions and without pulpal alterations were selected from children, both genders, aged between 5 and 9 years old. After selective caries removal, the teeth were divided into three groups: without cavity liner (Group I), calcium hydroxide cement - CH (Group II), and Mineral trioxide aggregate - MTA (Group III). The final restoration was performed with resin-modified glass ionomer cement. Clinical and radiographic assessments were conducted at 6-month follow-up. The Kappa test determined intraexaminer reliability. Fisher's exact test evaluated intergroup comparisons (p<0.05). Results: All teeth showed clinical and radiographic success at the 6-month follow-up without statistically significant differences (p>0.05). Conclusion: Selective caries removal without cavity lining was acceptable for deep caries lesions in primary teeth.

RESUMO
Objetivo: Avaliar a aceitabilidade e o conhecimento de estudantes de graduação em Odontologia e cirurgiões-dentistas sobre a remoção seletiva de tecido cariado (RSTC). Materiais e Métodos: Participaram do estudo graduandos do terceiro e quarto ano de Odontologia (Grupo 1) e egressos de um Centro Hospitalar de Odontologia (Grupo 2). Os participantes responderam de forma anônima e confidencial um questionário validado contendo onze questões sobre diagnóstico e manejo de lesões cariosas profundas. Teste qui-quadrado de Pearson e regressão logística multivariada foram aplicados (p<0.05). Resultados: A amostra total foi composta por 146 participantes. Destes, 81.5% eram do sexo feminino; 52.05% eram graduados e a faixa etária mais prevalente foi de 18 a 29 anos (85.62%). Sessenta e nove participantes escolheram o tratamento expectante (p=0.027). A análise de regressão logística mostrou diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Os participantes que consideraram a parede pulpar úmida têm aproximadamente oito vezes mais chances de escolha pelo tratamento invasivo (p=0.028). Aqueles que escolheram o tratamento endodôntico como opção de sobrevida em dois anos têm três vezes mais chances de optar pelo tratamento invasivo (p=0.032). Aqueles que afirmaram que a dentina cariada próxima à polpa não deveria ser removida tiveram quase três vezes mais chances de optar por tratamentos minimamente invasivos (p=0.031). Discussão: Estudos com questionários podem ser ferramentas úteis para detectar se estudantes e cirurgiões-dentistas estão seguindo as evidências mais atuais para o tratamento de lesões cariosas profundas. Conclusão: Os participantes tinham certo nível de conhecimento sobre RSTC, mas a aceitabilidade da técnica carecia de consenso.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptability and knowledge of undergraduate dental students and dentists on selective caries tissue removal (SCTR). Materials and Methods: Third- and fourth-year Dentistry undergraduates (Group 1) and graduates working in a Hospital Dentistry Center (Group 2) were included in the study. Participants anonymously and confidentially answered a validated questionnaire containing eleven questions on the diagnosis and management of deep caries lesions. Pearson's Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression compared the answers (p<0.05). Results: Total sample comprised 146 participants. Of these, 81.5% were female; 52.05% were graduates and the most prevalent age group was 18-29 years old (85.62%). Sixty-nine participants chose stepwise caries removal (p=0.027). The logistic regression analysis showed statistically significant differences. The participants who considered pulp wall moist have approximately eight times more likelihood to choose an invasive treatment (p=0.028). Those who chose endodontic treatment as an option for two-year survival have three times more likelihood to choose an invasive treatment (p=0.032). Those who affirmed that the carious dentin close to the pulp should not be removed had almost three times more likelihood to choose minimally invasive treatments (p=0.031). Discussion: Studies with questionnaires can be useful tools to detect whether the students and dentists are following the most current evidences to treat deep carious lesions. Conclusion: The participants had certain level of knowledge on SCTR, but the technique acceptability lacked consensus.
RESUMO
Evaluate the shaping ability and preparation time using a pediatric motor-driven rotary instrumentation compared to other systems in resin prototypes of primary molars. METHODS: Thirty specimens were scanned in micro-CT and divided into three groups according to the instrumentation type: pediatric motor-driven Sequence baby File (SBF); conventional motor-driven (Sequence Rotary File - SRF); manual K file. Instrumentation time was timed. After preparation, the specimens were scanned again. The pre- and post-instrumentation images were superimposed to measure the amount of root canal deviation and the resin remnant thickness. ANOVA followed by the Tukey test analyzed the comparisons between groups (p<0.05). RESULTS: No statistically significant differences occurred in root canal deviation among groups (p>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the comparison among root thirds (p<0.001) but without significant differences in the interaction group vs. root third (p>0.05). Both motor-driven instrumentations showed statistically greater weariness than manual instrumentation (p<0.001), without significant significant differences between SBF and SRF. Motor-driven instrumentation had a shorter working time than manual instrumentation (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Pediatric motor-driven instrumentation demonstrated good outcomes in relation to root canal deviation and amount of remnant structure, with shorter instrumentation time. SBF can be a suitable alternative for endodontic instrumentation in primary molars.

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar os resultados da instrumentação endodôntica e o tempo de preparo de lima odontopediátrica ativada por motor (Sequence Baby File- SBF) em canais de molares decíduos prototipados. Métodos: Trinta espécimes foram escaneados em micro-CT e divididos em três grupos de acordo com o tipo de instrumentação: mecanizada odontopediátrica (SBF); mecanizada convencional; lima K manual. O tempo de instrumentação foi cronometrado. Após o preparo, os espécimes foram escaneados novamente. As imagens pré e pós-instrumentação foram sobrepostas e a quantidade de desvio do canal radicular e a espessura de resina remanescente foram mensurados. Para as análises de comparações entre os grupos foram realizados teste ANOVA seguido do teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Resultados: Não ocorreram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos no desvio do canal radicular (p>0,05). Houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas na comparação entre terços radiculares (p<0,001), mas sem diferenças significativas na interação grupo vs. terço radicular (p>0,05). A instrumentação mecanizada apresentou desgaste estatisticamente maior do que a instrumentação manual (p<0,001), sem diferenças estatísticas entre a SBF e a lima mecanizada convencional. A instrumentação mecanizada teve menor tempo de trabalho quando comparado a instrumentação manual (p<0,001). Conclusão: A instrumentação mecanizada odontopediátrica demonstrou bons resultados em relação ao desvio do canal radicular e quantidade de estrutura remanescente, com menor tempo de instrumentação. A SBF pode ser uma alternativa adequada para a instrumentação endodôntica em molares decíduos.
RESUMO
Many factors influence the success and efficacy of endodontic treatment in primary teeth, such as unpredictability and the morphological complexity of the canals. Thus, the quality of the obturation materials should aim at decreasing the iatrogenic risks during pulpectomy to maintain primary teeth until their physiological exfoliation. Pulpectomy of primary teeth is challenging because longer chair-side time may negatively affect the behavioral management of the child. Considering that challenging approach, the professionals frequently search for technologies that optimize the treatment and improve root canal modeling and sanitization. To provide more comfort to the child during the treatment, recently, the advancements in permanent tooth endodontics have been employed in primary tooth pulpectomy such as apical locators, rotary instrumentation, and NiTi instruments. Therefore, this study aimed to review the use of these technologies and instruments in the endodontic treatment of primary teeth, emphasizing the relevant key factors for treatment success.
Há diversos fatores que influenciam no sucesso e na eficácia do tratamento endodôntico em Odontopediatria, destacando-se a imprevisibilidade e a complexidade morfológica dos canais. Sendo assim, existe a necessidade de uso de materiais de qualidade para diminuição dos riscos iatrogênicos durante a pulpectomia, sempre objetivando a manutenção dos dentes decíduos no arco dentário até a sua esfoliação fisiológica. Trata-se de um procedimento desafiador e demorado, que pode afetar negativamente o manejo entre o profissional e o paciente infantil. Logo, a busca constante por tecnologias que otimizem este tratamento, bem como a melhora na qualidade de modelagem e sanificação dos canais radiculares é frequente. Mais recentemente, os avanços da endodontia de dentes permanentes, estão sendo trazidos para a Odontopediatria, como o emprego dos localizadores apicais, sistemas de instrumentação mecanizados e uso de instrumentos com liga de NiTi, recursos capazes de diminuir o tempo de duração das sessões, proporcionando maior conforto para o paciente durante o atendimento. Portanto, o objetivo deste artigo é rever o uso destas tecnologias e instrumentos no preparo e tratamento dos canais radiculares de dentes decíduos, enfatizando pontos relevantes ao sucesso do atendimento, principalmente na Odontopediatria.

Recent studies have been concerned about the vast amount of misinformation detected on social media that directly hampers the prevention and control of chronic diseases. Based on these facts, the aim of this study was to identify and characterize misinformation about dental caries-related content found on Facebook, regarding the predictive factors of user interaction with posts. Then, CrowdTangle retrieved 2,436 posts published in English, ordered by the total interaction of the highest users. A total of 1,936 posts were selected for inclusion and exclusion criteria to select a sample of 500 posts. Subsequently, two independent investigators characterized the posts by their time of publication, author's profile, motivation, the aim of content, content facticity, and sentiment. The statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U and χ2 tests and multiple logistic regression models to determine differences and associations between dichotomized characteristics. p values <0.05 were considered significant. In general, posts were predominantly originated from the USA (74.8%), related to business profiles (89%), presented preventive content (58.6%), and noncommercial motivation (91.6%). Furthermore, misinformation was detected in 40.8% of the posts and was positively associated with positive sentiment (OR = 3.43), business profile (OR = 2.22), and treatment of dental caries (OR = 1.60). While the total interaction was only positively associated with misinformation (OR = 1.44), the overperforming score was associated with posts from the business profile (OR = 5.67), older publications (OR = 1.57), and positive sentiment (OR = 0.66). In conclusion, misinformation was the unique predictive factor of increased user interaction with dental caries-related posts on Facebook. However, it did not predict the performance of the diffusion of posts such as business profiles, older publications, and negative/neutral sentiment. Therefore, it is essential to promote the development of specific policies toward good quality information on social media, which includes the production of adequate materials, the increase of the critical sense of consuming health content, and information filtering mediated by digital solutions.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to self-evaluate the knowledge of different dental professionals' profiles in Brazil on diagnosing and indicating pulpotomy in primary teeth and how these groups updated on this theme. METHODS: Three groups (G1: professors, G2: specialists, and G3: professionals) answered an online questionnaire containing 20 questions and returned 416 questionnaires. Data were subjected to Chi-square associative tests and t tests, with P < .05. RESULTS: G1 and G2 reported to indicate pulpotomy, highlighting the tendency of these groups towards seeking updates on this subject. All 3 groups used academic materials for updating. However, G2 had a high demand for updates through congresses, whilst G3 had a high demand for updates through social media (Google and Google Scholar). The most cited indication by G1 and G2 was "accidental pulp exposure" and by G3 was "teeth with extensive carious lesions that have involved the pulp with radiographic confirmation." All 3 groups opted for pulpotomy to keep the tooth in the arch. Thus, G1 and G2 are the groups who are more updated on the subject, using mainly academic materials, which can be associated with the fact that such groups indicated pulpotomy in primary teeth. The lower interest in searching about pulpotomy in G3 can be understood as a nonclinical application of the topic for this group. CONCLUSIONS: Professionals who work directly with paediatric dentistry (professors or specialists) felt more capable of diagnosing and treating cases of pulpotomy. In addition, most of the professionals used scientifically based sources for getting information and actualisation on the subject of pulp therapies.
