“…Tooth mortality in a population can provide information regarding the availability of dental care, the incidence of dental disease and attitudes towards tooth loss. Despite advances in oral health care dental caries in children is existing globally and many risk factors are associated with it (murray et al, 1997;mouradian, 2000;Christabel et al, 2015;Somasundaram et al, 2015;Gurunathan and Shanmugaavel, 2016;Packiri et al, 2017;Govindaraju and Gurunathan, 2017;Govindaraju et al, 2017a;Govindaraju et al, 2017b;Subramanyam et al, 2018;Jeevanandan and Govindaraju, 2018;Govindaraj et al, 2019;lakshmanan et al, 2020).…”

Pulpectomy is a procedure where canals of the primary teeth are debrided and are shaped and obturation is done with a resorbable material. Pulpectomy aims to preserve the tooth until it is replaced by the successor permanent tooth. In a primary tooth that is decayed pulpectomy should be ideally the choice of treatment rather than extraction in order to preserve the integrity of the surrounding tissues as it is more conservative in its approach. This study was done to evaluate the ratio of pulpectomy to extraction cases in primary molars in children aged between 3 to 6 years of age. Data collection from patient management software was done. Children in the age group of 3-6 years were included in the study. Samples of primary molars indicated for pulpectomy and extraction were tabulated and evaluated in SPSS software. Out of total 1692 teeth, 292 were indicated for extraction and 1400 were indicated for pulpectomy. It was concluded that the ratio of cases indicated for pulpectomy was more as compared to the cases indicated for extraction in children aged between 3-6 years of age. Mandibular primary molars are considerably affected more as compared to maxillary primary molars. Oral health education must be promoted amongst parents in order to preserve the primary teeth to avoid any malocclusion in permanent dentition.

Aim: The aim of this study is to critically review the studies that studied the effect of Chlorhexidine varnish and fluoride varnish on White Spot Lesion (WSL) in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The electronic database PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, Google Scholar, Web of Knowledge along with a complimentary manual search of all orthodontic journals till the first week of December 2019 was searched. English language study performed on humans, randomized or nonrandomized clinical trials, comparing the effect of fluoride and chlorhexidine varnish on WSL was included in the review. Quality assessment of included studies was performed. Clinical Significance: The need for an adjunct oral hygiene aid to reduce the incidence and prevalence of white spot lesions in orthodontic patients is necessary. The use of these varnishes will aid in the same and thus make the adverse effects of fixed orthodontic treatment negligible. Review of Literature: Enamel demineralization is a significant risk associated with orthodontic treatment when oral hygiene is poor. Prevention of demineralization during orthodontic treatment is one of the greatest challenges faced by clinicians despite modern advances in caries prevention. The development of White Spot Lesions (WSLs) is attributed to prolonged plaque accumulation around the brackets. Results: The search identified a total of 3 studies that were included in this review. One study had Low risk of bias and the remaining 2 studies had moderate overall risk. Results showed that there was a reduction in the incidence of white spot lesions in orthodontic patients after application of chlorhexidine and Fluoride varnish. Conclusion: Low level evidence is available to conclude that the use of chlorhexidine varnishes and fluoride varnishes reduces the prevalence of white spot lesions in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Due to its limitations, the results of this systematic review should be handled with caution and further well-planned Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) are needed to provide a discrete conclusion.
