Local antifibrinolytic treatment with tranexamic acid in hemophilic children undergoing dental extractions

The incidence of post-extraction bleeding and the amount of replacement therapy needed to control bleeding in 24 hemophilic children following the local use of tranexamic acid mouthwash have been investigated. The results of the study showed that 91.6% of patients who used tranexamic acid mouthwash as a supplement to systemic therapy, did not develop post-extraction bleeding; while in 25% of the control patients who received only systemic tranexamic acid, postoperative bleeding was not observed

five-year comparative study of calcium hydroxide-glutaraldehyde pulpotomies versus calcium hydroxide pulpotomies in young permanent molars

Twenty children with twenty cariously exposed first permanent molars treated with either calcium hydroxide-glutaraldehyde or calcium hydroxide pulpotomies, were followed up clinically and radiographically for a period of five years. Overall success rates obtained at the end of the follow up period were higher with calcium hydroxide-glutaraldehyde pulpotomies [100%] than with calcium hydroxide pulpotomies [80%]

Assessment of salivary lactobacillus and streptococcus mutans counts following sodium fluoride mouthrinsing in Egyptian children

The salivary lactobacillus and Streptococcus mutans counts were assessed in 100 Egyptian children, initially before mouthrinsing with 0.05 percent sodium fluoride solution, 24 hours and 48 hours following rinsing. A statistically significant reduction in lactobacillus and Streptococcus mutans counts of 49 percent and 44 percent respectively was obtained 24 hours following rinsing. These percentages decrease in both bacterial counts was reduced to 27 percent and 31 percent respectively, 48 hours following rinsing
