Fear of COVID-19, workplace phobia, workplace deviance and perceived organizational support: A moderated mediation model.

This paper aims to test a moderated-mediation model examining therelationships between Fear of COVID-19, workplace phobia, work deviance behaviourand perceived organizational support among hotel employees. An online questionnaire was administered to collect data, to which 481 responded. Data was collected from full-time frontline employees working in the Maldivian hospitality industry.

Effect of root dentin conditioning using different chelating agents on pushout bond strength of MTA-fillapex and bioroot RCS: An study.

Context: The success of endodontic therapy depends on proper biomechanical preparation and obturation.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the pushout bond strength (POBS) of MTA Fillapex (MF) and BioRoot RCS (BRCS) sealers in endodontically treated teeth with different irrigants-5.25% Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 0.

Mental Health in the Times of Corona: A model for Positive Mental Health During the Global Pandemic.

As the world comes to terms with the changes brought on by the appearance and spread of Covid-19, there is an increase in fear and anxiety levels. The World Health Organization has stressed on the need to focus on mental health, as the epidemic affects both young and old. One of the biggest challenges is that the situation has no precedent.

Comparative Analysis of Dentinal Crack Formation Following Root Canal Instrumentation with Hand K-Flex Files, ProTaper Next, and Self-adjusting Files.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the dentinal crack formation in root canal dentin after root canal instrumentation with hand K-Flex files, ProTaper Next, and self-adjusting engine-driven files.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-two human mandibular first molar teeth were randomly divided into four groups ( = 23) as per the instrumentation protocol: group I-unprepared teeth (control); group II-hand K-Flex files (Sybron Endo); group III-ProTaper Next X1 and X2 (Dentsply Maillefer); group IV-self-adjusting file (ReDent Nova, Israel). All the roots were sectioned perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth at 9 mm, 6 mm, and 3 mm from the apex and thereby obtaining sixty-nine samples, which were then subjected to a stereomicroscopic examination for detection of dentinal cracks.

Antibacterial Activity of Leaf Extract of Annona muricata and Simarouba glauca on Enterococcus faecalis.

Aim: To determine the antimicrobial effect of water extracts of leaves of Annona muricata and Simarouba glauca on Enterococcus faecalis using agar diffusion method.

Materials And Methods: Dried leaves of A. muricata and S.

Evaluation of an Indigenously Prepared Herbal Extract (EndoPam) as an Antimicrobial Endodontic Irrigant: An Ex Vivo Study.

Backgroundg: Root canal irrigation plays a pivotal role in endodontics. Constant increase in antibiotic resistance and side effects caused by synthetic irrigants has shifted the research toward developing herbal alternatives. The current study aims to assess the ex vivo effectiveness of an indigenously prepared herbal extract "EndoPam" and compare it with the conventional endodontic irrigants for disinfection of root canals infected with Enterococcus faecalis.

A permanent mandibular second molar with seven root canal systems.

This case report illustrates the nonsurgical endodontic management of a seven-canaled mandibular second molar. The root canal configuration presented as four mesial and three distal canals. Identification of the canal system was made with the aid of magnification, ultrasonics, and multiple angulated radiographs.
