An Insight into the Role of Marine Biopolymer Alginate in Endodontics: A Review.

Alginate is a natural marine biopolymer that has been widely used in biomedical applications, but research on its use as an endodontic material is still sparse in the literature. This pioneer review aims to summarize the emerging roles of alginate and to outline its prospective applications as a core biomaterial in endodontics. Ten electronic databases and five textbooks were used to perform a search of English-language literature on the use of alginate in endodontics published between January 1980 and June 2022.

Novel dental composite resin derived from rice husk natural biowaste: A systematic review and recommendation for future advancement.

Objectives: This review aimed to summarize contemporary evidence related to dental composite resin derived from rice husk biowaste and its potential future advancement. This review paper included the techniques for synthesis, characterization, and preparation of rice husk composite resin. Focus was also given to the flexural strength and modulus, compressive strength, wear rate, hardness, surface roughness, color stability, polymerization shrinkage, degree of conversion, and their application onto root canal treated teeth.

Acceptability of atraumatic restorative treatment and Hall Technique among children, parents, and general dental practitioners: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the acceptance level of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) and Hall Technique (HT) among children, parents, and general dental practitioners.

Method And Materials: The study was registered in the PROSPERO database. Articles published between January 1960 and January 2021 were searched in 11 online databases and six textbooks according to PRISMA guidelines.

Success rates of coronal and partial pulpotomies in mature permanent molars: a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of coronal and partial pulpotomies in mature permanent molars with cariously exposed vital pulp. Method and materials: The protocol of the current review was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD 42020190785). Articles published between January 1980 and June 2020 were searched in eight different online databases and six textbooks according to PRISMA guidelines.
