Biodentine showed similar clinical and radiographic results as MTA in the 12-month evaluation and can be safely used as a pulpotomy medicament.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment and pursuit process of the pyogenic granuloma which has seen on 12 years old girl patient. Case Presentation: Pyogenic granuloma is a lesion which classified in vascular tumors which constitute 30-60% of all the reactive lesions of gingival tissue. Trauma, infections of capillary wall, hormonal factors, foreign materials, hypertension and poor oral hygiene are accused for development of pyogenic granuloma. It may occur at all age groups and in both sexs. In the oral cavity, pyogenic granuloma lesions are most frequently encountered on the gingiva. Definitive diagnosis can only be made by histopathologic examination of biopsied tissue. The treatment of this lesion is surgical excision. If surgical excision removal is incomplete, the lesion has got the risk of the recurrence. A twelve years old female child applied to our clinic with complaints like on anterior palatinal region gingival bleeding and swollen condition on the same region. As beginning treatment oral hygiene education was given to the patient and plaque and calculus were removed. Under local anesthesia the lesion was taken with excisional biopsy for doing distinctive diagnosis from the other pathological lesions which can be seen in oral cavity. In addition frenectomy surgery in the maxilla and ridge augmentation operation in the mandible is performed to provide more comfortable oral hygiene. Three-month follow-up results of the patients were found to occur again in the region of the palatal gingival enlargement. As a result, it was decided to re-operations performed gingivectomy. Patient after operations carried out gingivectomy was called to the appointment checked and encourage oral hygiene. Conclusion: After taking of the excisional biopsy, the diagnose was made shaping "The Pyogenic Granuloma" to the mass which was examined histopathologically under the light microscope. In the control inspection, there was not any recurrence clinically.

Amaç: Bu in vivo çalışmanın amacı, çocuklarda tükürük Streptococcus mutans (SM) düzeylerini azaltmaya yönelik basit bir bitkisel çürük önleme protokolünün etkinliğini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yapılan bu çalışmada Klorheksidin (CHX), meyan kökü ve serum fizyolojik kullanılmıştır. Toplam 90 hasta, her bir grup için 30 kişi olacak şekilde rastgele 3 gruba ayrıldı. Gargara öncesi, gargaradan 5 dk sonra ve gargaradan 1 saat sonrasında tükürük örnekleri toplanmıştır. Değerlendirmeler gargara sonrası 5 dk (T1), 1 saat sonra (T2) ve aradaki farklılıkları tespit amacıyla 5-60 dk (T3) olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ekimi yapılan örneklerin enkübasyon süresi sonunda plaklar değerlendirmeye alınarak üreyen kolonilerin colony forming Unit/mL (CFU mL-1) olarak sayımları yapılmıştır. CFU değerlerindeki azalmalar istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Elde edilen verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Kruskall-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U and Bonferroni düzeltmeli Friedman, Wilcoxon işaret ve testleri ile yapıldı ve yanılma düzeyi 0,05 olarak alındı. Bulgular: CHX, T1 ve T2 zamanları içerisinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düşüşler gösterirken (p<0,05), T3 grubunda CHX ve meyan kökü grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık görülmedi (p>0,05). Sonuç: Meyan kökü dental işlemlerde kullanılabilecek yararlı bir ajan olabilir ve meyan kökü oranının, içerisindeki glisirizik asit yüzdesinin ve tedavinin süresi ile ilgili daha ileri çalışmaların yapılması gerekmektedir. Objective:The aim of this in vivo study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a simple herbal caries-prevention protocol for reducing salivary Streptococcus mutans levels in children. MaterialsandMethods:A total of 90 individuals were recruited randomly divided into three groups (n=30). Mouthwashes including chlorhexidine (CHX), licorice and saline were used as tested antimicrobial agents, and saliva samples were collected before rinsing, at the end of 5 min (T1) and 60 min (T2) following rinsing, and the differences were calculated within 5-60 min (T3). Plaques were evaluated following incubation, and counts of the growing colonies were performed in colony forming units (CFU)/mL. Decreases in CFU were calculated in ratio for statistical analysis. Data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, Friedman and Wilcoxon signed rank tests by Bonferroni correction, using a 0.05 of significance level. Results: CHX caused significantly different decreases for T1 and T2 (p<0.05), but, there were no significant differences between CHX and licorice for T3 (p>0.05). Conclusion: Licorice might be a useful agent for dental procedures and further studies are needed to learn more about the dose of licorice, the ratio of glycyrrhizin and the duration of dental therapy.
