This is a short term randomized clinical trial assessing the effects of consumption of black tea (Camellia sinensis) on salivary streptococcus mutans. Streptococcus mutans is one of the primary organisms causing dental caries. The application of black tea is much economic when compared to other dental caries preventive and treatment modalities. A b...
Regenerative dental care represents an innovative interdisciplinary methodology involving biomaterials, multiple enzymes, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), ideally extracted from oral tissue. MSCs' crucial function relies on the fact that they can distinguish into specific cell lines and have a strategic function in releasing bio-active compounds...
Background:
Bonding of composite with enamel and dentin gets compromised if the tooth is restored with composite immediately post bleaching. The application of antioxidants has shown to have a positive effect on it.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of guava seed extract solutions in various concentrations on the...
Aim: To evaluate bleaching efficiency of solutions containing hydrogen peroxide and extract of Pineapple & Papaya as an additive on human
enamel in two different timings, using reflectance spectrophotometer
Materials and Methods: Baseline color values of 20 randomly selected artificially stained incisors were obtained. The specimens were divided
in...
Background: Dental caries are a microbiological disease
of the teeth resulting in localized dissolution and
destruction of calcified tissue. The oral homeostasis is
maintained by saliva by modulating the ecosystem within
the oral cavity. Saliva protects the structure of teeth from
caries development and prevents demineralization. The
ability...
Mandibular molars can have an additional root located lingually i.e. the radix entomolaris or buccally i.e. the radix paramolaris. Radix Entomolaris (RE) is a developmental variation occurring in mandibular molars associated with extra root and extra canal that is present lingually. An awareness and understanding of this variation and its root cana...
Health professionals still prefer to give various drug regimens for patients undergoing surgical removal of mandibular third molar to counteract swelling and pain. The study result help in deciding treatment regimen to be followed after third molar surgeries and suggests better patient comfort level is achieved with use of dexamethasone compared to...
AIM: Bacteriological evaluation of disinfection potential of Tio2 Nanospray on mobile phones of dentists in Greater Noida MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sterile cotton swabs were moistened with sterile normal saline to collect samples from mobile phones of a total of 60 Dental practitioners. Samples were taken before, 10 minutes, and 1 week after spraying...
A short term randomized clinical trial assessing the effects of consumption of probiotic bacterium on salivary streptococcus mutans. Streptococcus mutans is one of the primary organisms causing dental caries. Over the years, probiotics are being consumed by the humans on a day to day basis for a healthy gut. The use of probiotics is much economic t...
Introduction: Endodontically treated teeth are more prone to fracture under masticatory forces. Resin-based dental materials have been proposed as a means to reinforce an endodontically treated tooth through the use of adhesive sealers in the root canal system.
Aims: The objective of this study is to evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontical...
This case control investigation studied, the causal association ofpotential risk factors for noncarious cervical lesions qNCCfl, in patients reporting to the OPD ofa dental Institute, in India. Total 52 patients, 26 with noncarious cervical lesions (7 females, 19 males, mean age 39.27+12.88 years) and 26 without noncarious cervical lesions in denti...
