Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of auditory and audiovisual presentations on anxiety and behavioral changes in children undergoing elective surgery.
: Preoperative anxiety is a critical issue in children, and associated with postoperative behavioral changes. ⋯ Compared to auditory presentations, audiovisual presentations, in terms of being memorable and interesting, may be more effective in reducing children's anxiety. In addition, we can suggest that both methods can be equally effective for postoperative behavioral changes.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluation of fracture resistance in root canal-treated teeth restored using different techniques.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different coronal restoration techniques on fracture resistance of root canal-treated mandibular premolars with mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities. ⋯ Usage of horizontal post or occlusal Ribbond usage increased the fracture resistance of root canal-treated premolars with MOD cavities.
