Article Synopsis
- A cross-sectional study assessed graduating dental residents' views on online clinical examinations using a validated online questionnaire consisting of 15 multiple choice questions and one open-ended question.
- 256 dental residents participated, revealing high levels of anxiety (70.7%) and stress (56.1%) during preparation, but only 13.6% experienced internet speed issues during the exams.
- Overall, while the acceptance of the online format was moderate, residents found it less stressful without an in-person examiner, although they faced challenges in digitizing their academic work and noted issues with sound and image quality.
Context: The physical and chemical properties of root repair materials are adversely affected when placed in areas of inflammation with acidic pH.
Aim: To evaluate the role of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS- pH 7.4) on push-out bond strength (POBS) of MTA flow and Biodentine (BD) after acid challenge with butyric acid buffered solution (BABS- pH 5.
Article Synopsis
- * Sixty extracted human premolars were tested, with different groups receiving varying treatments, including CH mixed with saline, water, or local anesthetics, and other materials like Metapaste and RC-Cal.
- * Results showed that teeth without medicament (Group I) had the highest strength, while all CH-treated groups demonstrated reduced compressive strength, indicating that CH negatively impacts dentin integrity regardless of the vehicle used.
Context: Eruption of teeth is influenced by various factors. Very few studies were carried out in the past on the eruption time of teeth in the Indian population.
