Variations in root canal morphology of permanent incisors and canines among Asian population: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: This systematic review was designed to measure the pooled prevalence of morphological variations in the root canal of permanent incisors and canines among Asian adults.

Methods: An electronic search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO databases, and relevant studies were included. Studies reporting on the Vertucci canal configuration (types I to VIII) were included.

A Comparative Evaluation of Microleakage between Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer, Flowable Composite, and Cention-N in Class V Restorations: A Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope Study.

Background: Microleakage is a concern while restoring cervical lesions. Many products have attempted to minimize the interfacial gap between the tooth and restoration, the main pathway of microleakage.

Aims And Objective: To compare and evaluate the microleakage in Class V cavity restored with nanohybrid flowable composite, Resin modified Glass Ionomer and Cention N.

COVID-19 Antibody Tests: An Overview.

Novel coronavirus (nCoV) first emerged in Hubei province of China in December 2019. The virus initially known as 2019-nCoV was renamed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. The associated disease is known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Comparative Evaluation of Microcrack Formation in Different Kinematics Using Rotary and Reciprocating File Systems: An Study.

Aim And Objective: To compare r oot microcrack formation after r oot canal preparation using ProTaper Next in r otation or forward r eciprocation and Waveone gold in r everse r eciprocating motion.

Materials And Methods: Buccal r oots of 60 maxillary premolars with mature apices were selected, for different instrumentation techniques and divided into three groups. Coronal access was achieved and the canals were confirmed for apical patency.

Prevalence of Dental Caries in Adult South Indian Population in Association with Dietary Pattern: A Comparative Study.

Background: Dental caries is considered to be one of the most prevalent dental diseases among humans. It involves cycles of demineralization and remineralization. The etiology and pathogenesis of dental caries are multifactorial.

Comparative Evaluation of Fracture Resistance of Incisor Fragments Using Simple, Bevel, Internal Groove Preparation Designs and Reattached with Nanocomposites: An Study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of anterior crown fragments using three different preparation designs and reattached using two different nanocomposites.

Materials And Methods: A total of 120 sound human permanent incisors were selected and divided into six groups. The teeth were sectioned and reattached using different preparatory designs and nanocomposites.

Effect of Instrumentation Techniques and Kinematics on Apical Extrusion of Debris: An Study.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of instrumentation kinematics on debris extrusion by comparing the amount of apically extruded debris after canal preparation using ProTaper next in continuous rotation as well as forward reciprocating motion and WaveOne gold in reverse reciprocating motion.

Materials And Methods: We randomly divided ninety buccal roots of maxillary bicuspids with fully formed apices into three groups. After achieving the coronal access, the patency of the root canals was established with a size 10 K file.
