Aims And Background: Recording enamel rod end patterns can be considered an alternative to fingerprints, which are susceptible to decomposition or mutilation. The available literature revealed that limited research has been performed on the recording of enamel rod end patterns, and none has been performed on primary teeth. Hence, this observational study was performed with the aim of identifying and analyzing the different patterns of enamel rod endings of primary anterior teeth.

Amoxicillin clavulanate paste (ACP) is recommended as a "fall-back" antibiotic when traditional dental antibiotics fail. Literature comparing the antimicrobial efficacy of TAP and ACP in eradicating from the root canal system is sparse; hence, this study was conducted to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of TAP and ACP as an intracanal medicament for endodontic treatment of single-rooted permanent teeth against
Materials And Methods: This , experimental study evaluated 60 root samples obtained from extracted single-rooted human permanent teeth.
Article Synopsis
- Endodontic therapy focuses on disinfecting root canals, and this study investigates the use of an extract from a kernel as a potential irrigant for primary molars.
- The research involved preparing a methanolic extract, testing its antimicrobial properties against controls, and evaluating its effectiveness in removing the smear layer using SEM.
- Results show the kernel extract had significant antimicrobial activity, but its smear layer removal effectiveness was inferior compared to 17% EDTA, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses as a root canal irrigant.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the chemical composition of enamel from teeth with early childhood caries (unaffected fragments) and from healthy primary teeth.
Design: Forty exfoliated primary teeth (Group I) and 40 teeth affected with ECC (Group II) were collected. Unaffected enamel from the ECC group was sampled.
