Aim: This study aims to evaluate the relation between salivary proteinase 3 (PR3) concentration and caries severity in children.
Materials And Methods: Six-to-eight-year age group children, from the Outpatient Department of Pediatric and Preventive dentistry at PMS Dental College were selected for the study. From these children, three groups each consisting of 28 children were selected according to the dental caries severity.
Objectives: To assess antibacterial effects of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and fluoride varnish treatment against and .
Materials And Methods: The antibacterial effectiveness of SDF (group A) and fluoride varnish (group B) against was investigated in an microbiological investigation, with distilled water (group C) serving as the positive and negative controls. After 24 hours of incubation, the antibacterial efficiency was assessed using the agar well diffusion technique, and the diameter of the zones of inhibition (ZOI) was quantified.
Background: The ratio between second and fourth digit lengths (2D:4D ratio) is termed as hormonal fingerprint. Second and fourth digit lengths ratio is used as a biological marker for predicting and diagnosis of many metabolic disorders mainly coronary heart disease and autism, whereas, in dentistry, this method is still in blooming stage. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the new biological marker-hormonal fingerprints in the early detection of caries in children.
