“…In the present study, 4-6 years age groups were reported to be higher than other age groups. Based on Al-Madi et al 2018, the frequency of irreversible pulpitis increases as age increases [(Al-Madi et al, 2018)]. Chompu et al reported the mean average of children's prevalence with pulpitis was 9-11 years age group [(Chompu-Inwai et al, 2018)].…”

Dental caries is one of the most common chronic diseases of adults and children in both developed and developing nations. The incidence of caries can cause irritation to the pulp and periradicular tissues which may result in inflammation. Inflammation over an extended period of time on the other hand can cause irreversible damage to the pulp. This study focuses on the prevalence of irreversible pulpitis among different genders of children. A retrospective crosssectional study was conducted using the patient case records of a University hospital from June 2019 until March 2020, and children who were diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis were selected. Data was collected and then subjected to statistical analysis. Microsoft Excel 2016 data spreadsheet was used to collect data and later exported to the SPSS software. Among 244 children, males recorded slightly higher frequency with irreversible pulpitis, about 54% while females recorded approximately 46%. Based on age, 4-6 years children were more prevalent to irreversible pulpitis, surpassed 50% overall. The prevalence of irreversible pulpitis among children in this study seems to be slightly higher in males than female children.

“…In addition, despite the reduction in caries incidence rates in development countries, it is still a public health problem associated with lower socioeconomical status which mainly affects children and adolescents (2,3). Caries progression in young molar teeth frequently results in endodontic treatment need to avoid tooth extraction (4). However, children and adolescents whose permanent molar teeth require root canal treatment (RCT) are sometimes neglected in public health services, leading to early tooth loss, and consequent changes in occlusion, chewing function and psychosocial impairment (4).…”

The progression of caries in permanent molar teeth of young patients, frequently result in endodontic treatment. This randomized blinded clinical trial assessed the effect of two endodontic sealers (Sealer 26 and AH Plus) on the incidence of pain and apical repair after endodontic treatment of young molar teeth, and secondly identify factors associated with the outcomes. Endodontic treatment was performed by undergraduate students in molar teeth (n=69) of young patients (n=54) at the Endodontic and Restorative Public Extension Clinic Service. Protaper Next was used and the endodontic sealers were allocated which were restored with direct composite resin. Two primary clinical outcomes - apical repair and postoperative pain, were assessed after 12 and 24 months for blinded operators. Description of incidence rates and mixed-model regression using Generalized Estimation Equations (GEE). After 2 years 69 molar teeth of 54 patients were evaluated. No effect of the endodontic sealer was observed irrespective of period of evaluation. Apical repair incidences and asymptomatic teeth were, respectively, 90.5 and 89.3, 96.8 and 90.0% during 1 and 2 years of follow-up. Failed apical repair was associated with unsatisfactory pulpectomy (p=0.003) and periapical conditions (p=0.007) as well as their interaction (p=0.016). None of these independent variables was able to predict the occurrence of pain in both periods. Prognosis of apical repair is dependent on the initial conditions. Endodontic treatment of young molars associated with composite resin restorations performed by undergraduate students have satisfactory results after 2 years and was effective to prevent the risk of permanent teeth loss.

A BSTRACT Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the levels of knowledge and attitude of dental practitioners (DPs) toward vital pulp therapy (VPT) of young permanent teeth in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out by taking convenient sample of general DPs and specialist attending Saudi International Dental Conference, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A total of 200 DPs administered a structured, self-administered questionnaire to evaluate their knowledge and attitude toward VPT. The questionnaire comprised four parts: Part I: Characteristics of the study participants; Part II: Items related to indications and diagnosis of VPT; Part III: Questions related to the different VPTs for immature permanent teeth; and Part IV: Dental materials used in VPT and restoration. All the data were entered into the statistical analysis software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY) and analyzed by using descriptive statistics of frequency distribution and percentages for the categorical variables. Results: A total of 193 (men = 57% [110] and women = 43% [83]) DPs participated in this study with a response rate of 96.5%. Less than half of correct responses were observed with (Item 1) related to the duration of complete closure of root apex (43%) and (Item 14) use of sodium hypochlorite to serve as an excellent diagnostic tool to differentiate irreversible from reversible pulpitis. A high percentage of correct responses were seen with the (Item 9) indirect pulp capping––a procedure performed in a tooth with a deep carious lesion without signs or symptoms of pulp degeneration (75%). All other item responses ranged in between 52% and 72%. Conclusion: DPs showed fair-to-good knowledge and attitude toward VPT of young permanent teeth. In general, there is a need to improve knowledge and attitude of dental professionals about the VPT by attending continuing dental educational programs.
