Comparative evaluation of minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration of various herbal irrigants against .

Context: The purpose of this article is to evaluate the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Herbal Irrigants.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate MIC and MBC of herbal extracts of , , and Green Tea Against .

Methodology: The MIC and MBC of extracts of (neem), (turmeric), and Green Tea were evaluated to establish them as standard root canal irrigants against using agar well diffusion method.

Morphometric analysis of the relationship between maxillary posterior teeth and maxillary sinus floor in central Indian population: A cone-beam computed tomography study.

Background: The relationship between the maxillary sinus (MS) and the root apices of posterior teeth is of significant clinical relevance as it influences the diagnosis and treatment planning when operating in the posterior areas of the maxilla. The aim of this study, therefore, is to assess this anatomic relationship and evaluate the propensity of roots of posterior maxillary teeth to be intruded into the MS space using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning.

Materials And Methods: One thousand CBCT scans of patients, aged 20 years or above, were analyzed in the study.
