Accuracy of Demirjian's 8 teeth method for age prediction in South Indian children: A comparative study.

Introduction: Demirjian's method of tooth development is most commonly used to assess age in individuals with emerging teeth. However, its application on numerous populations has resulted in wide variations in age estimates and consequent suggestions for the method's adaptation to the local sample. Original Demirjian's method utilized seven mandibular teeth, to which recently third molar is added so that the method can be applied on a wider age group.

The effect of four different irrigating solutions on the shear bond strength of endodontic sealer to dentin - An In-vitro study.

Background: To evaluate the effect of EDTA, Maleic acid, Citric acid and MTAD Irrigating Solutions on the shear bond Strength of A-H plus sealer.

Materials & Methods: Forty mandibular single rooted premolar teeth with straight roots were taken, decoronated and instrumented using Protaper rotary instruments to size #F3, 0.09 taper, at the working length, with 3 mL of 2.
