Synergistic effects of fly ash and graphene oxide composites at high temperatures and prediction using ANN and RSM approach.

Fly ash (FA) is a consequence of burning coal and is widely used in construction because of its pozzolanic qualities, which increase the strength and longevity of materials. Graphene oxide (GO) is a functionalized version of graphene with low electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength, and a large surface area. By examining the behavior of fly ash and GO composites at high temperatures, new materials with improved mechanical and functional qualities that are appropriate for a range of industrial uses can be created.

Reconnoitering the association between body mass index and oral health among elementary school children in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

Objective: To evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and oral health status among elementary school children in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among elementary school children selected from government, private-aided and private-unaided schools in Hyderabad. A stratified cluster random sampling technique was used to select study participants.

Antiplaque Efficacy of Tooth and Gums Tonic, Hiora-GA Gel, and Spirogyl Gum Paint in Comparison with Chlorhexidine M Gel: A Double-blind Randomized Control Trial.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of three different herbal products (Tooth and Gums Tonic, Hiora-GA gel, and Spirogyl Gum paint) in reducing plaque, gingival inflammation and bacterial count in comparison with chlorhexidine M gel among participants with moderate to severe periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: A total of eighty participants with moderate to severe periodontitis were initially recruited after obtaining their informed consent. All participants were offered scaling and polishing on the first visit to remove visible calculus.

Comparative Evaluation of Tensile - Bond Strength of An Orthodontic Adhesive with and without Fluoride Application, After Acid Etching -An Invitro Study.

Background: Fixed appliances hinder the effective control of plaque accumulation and white spot lesions may develop under the ill fitting bands or adjacent to the stainless steel brackets during orthodontic treatment particularly the etching process.

Aims And Objectives: Comparative study of tensile bond strength of an orthodontic adhesive with and without fluoride application after acid etching to know the effect of fluoride on bond strength.

Materials And Methods: This study is carried out on 90 non carious human premolar teeth, and divided in 6 groups with each group of 15 specimens.

Oral Health Status among 12- and 15-Year-Old Children from Government and Private Schools in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Background: The assessment of oral health status of children in government and private schools provide data on the oral health status of children from different socio-economic background.

Aim: The aim of the following study is to assess and to compare the oral hygiene status, gingival status and caries experience between children from government and private schools in Andhra Pradesh, India.

Subjects And Methods: A combination of cluster and stratified random sampling was employed to select the study participants.
