The Outcome of GaAlAs Diode Laser (980 Nm) Pulpotomy in Patients with Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis Assessed Using CBCT - Randomised Controlled Trial with an 18-Month Follow-up.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of diode laser (GaAlAs-980 nm) for full coronal pulpotomy (FCP) compared to conventional crown pulpotomy (CCP) in mature teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) and assess dentine bridge formation after FCP using CBCT.

Methods: A total of 86 patients (43 per group) with SIP in permanent mandibular molars were included. Access opening and FCP were done, after which haemostasis was achieved with 2.

Antibacterial and Mechanical Properties of Pit and Fissure Sealants Containing Zinc Oxide and Calcium Fluoride Nanoparticles.

Context: Pit and fissure sealants (PFSs) are the most effective preventive materials in dentistry. Secondary caries around the sealed pits and fissures at the material-tooth interface and the wear of the material remains the common problems. To address these problems, efforts have been made by incorporating zinc oxide (ZnO) and calcium fluoride (CaF) nanoparticles (NPs) into the sealants to develop caries-inhibiting and stress-bearing sealants.

Role of Adiponectin in Cervical Cancer.

Background: Cervical Cancer (CC) is the most common leading cancer in women globally. This is considered to be the type of cancer that is restricted to women. Any women in the reproductive age range can develop CC.

Evaluating the effectiveness of marine actinobacterial extract and its mediated titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the degradation of azo dyes.

Aim of the present study was to synthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) from marine actinobacteria and to develop an eco-friendly azo-dye degradation method. A total of five actinobacterial isolates were isolated from Chennai marine sediments, Tamilnadu, India and analyzed for the synthesis of TiO2 NPs using titanium hydroxide. Among these, the isolate PSV 3 showed positive results for the synthesis of TiO2 NPs, which was confirmed by UV analysis.
