Fluorescence as a Quantitative Indicator of Cariogenic Bacteria During Chemo-Mechanical Caries Excavation with BRIX 3000 in Primary Teeth [PDF]
Minimally invasive treatment is increasingly successful in managing carious lesions in primary teeth, owing to the regenerative capacity of the dental pulp and the possibility to influence the pulp–dentin complex. Chemo-mechanical caries excavation (CME)

Projective Indicators of Underlying Dental Anxiety in Children with Positive Frankl Behavior: A Draw-a-Person Assessment During Caries Removal [PDF]
Background: Positive behavior during dental treatment does not necessarily indicate the absence of anxiety in children. Behavioral assessment scales, such as the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale, evaluate observable behavior but may fail to identify ...
