To Evaluate the Efficacy of Oil Pulling on Caries Activity of : An Study.

Aim: To evaluate efficacy of oil pulling on caries activity of .

Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled experiment was designed, with 60 children chosen at random. Following that, the participants were divided into three groups-group A: oil pulling using cold pressed coconut oil (Perfora*); group B: commercially available fluoridated mouthwash (Kidodent*); group C: distilled water as control.

Palatogingival Groove: The Known-unknown Devourer.

Aim: This case report aims to describe the management of a maxillary lateral incisor with a palatogingival groove (PGG) associated with a complex lesion.

Background: The PGG is a rare developmental anomaly that involves the lingual surface of the maxillary incisors and extends for varying distances and depths on the root surface. This anomaly is usually inconspicuous and funnel-shaped, which forms a niche where bacterial plaque and calculus can accumulate to levels significant for pathological changes resulting in endodontic and periodontal lesions.

Don't Rush with Your Brush: An Study on Toothbrush Hygiene.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of audiovisual (AV) aids in creating awareness of toothbrush hygiene.

Materials And Methods: This randomized trial study was conducted on 40 children aged 6-11 years. Children were given soft toothbrushes and then collected after brushing for 14 days.

Comparative Evaluation of Two Esthetic Full Coronal Restorative Materials for Primary Incisors.

Aim: This study was designed to compare the clinical efficacy of two esthetic restorative materials, nanoceramic (Magma NT®) and giomer (Beautifil II®), as full coronal restoration in primary maxillary incisors.

Materials And Methods: A total of 15 patients aged 3-5 years presenting with mutilated primary maxillary incisors due to caries or trauma were selected for the study using randomized simple sampling. A total of 40 maxillary incisors were randomly divided into two equal groups, with 20 teeth in each group.

Mount Vernon Index vs Yen Angle for Assessment of Anteroposterior Apical Jaw Base Relationship.

Aims And Objectives: This research aimed to determine the predictability and variability of the Yen angle and Mount Vernon Index (MVI) in relation to the other four sagittal discrepancy parameters, as well as to evaluate and explain any correlations that exist. The Lateral Cephalograms of 100 Class I Indian participants aged 17-24 years were recorded. The lateral cephalograms were traced for six distinct AP characteristics, including ANB, Wits appraisal, facial convexity, and beta angle, Yen angle, and MVI.

Comparative Evaluation of and Calcium Hydroxide Mix as an Obturating Material in Deciduous Molars: An Study.

Aim And Objectives: To evaluate clinical and radiographic efficacy of a mix of ( extract) and calcium hydroxide as an obturating material in primary molars and to compare these findings with commercially available iodoform with calcium hydroxide paste (metapex).

Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted on sixty children age group 4-7 years requiring multiple visit pulpectomy for their primary molars. The teeth selected were randomly divided into two groups.

Effect of Magnetized Water Mouthrinse on in Plaque and Saliva in Children: An Study.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of magnetized water as a mouthwash on colony count of in children.

Materials And Methods: Total sample size of 30 children were selected out of screened 290 children by simple random sampling between the age group of 7 and 12 years. The study was conducted over a period of 2 weeks.

extract as a potential anticariogenic agents against : An comparative evaluation.

Objective: The current study was intended to evaluate and compare the efficacy of mouth rinse as anticariogenic agents with 0.2% chlorhexidine and Listerine mouth rinse.

Materials And Methods: An experimental crossover study was conducted on sixty school children aged 14-15 years.

Comparative evaluation of microleakage of three restorative glass ionomer cements: An in vitro study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of glass ionomers (conventional and resin modified) with that of recently introduced nanoionomers.

Materials And Methods: Standardized class I and class V cavities were prepared on 120 young permanent teeth. Samples were equally divided into group I (class I restorations) and group II (class V restorations), and further divided into subgroups.
