Clinical Spectrum and Medical Comorbidities in Tuberculosis: A Hospital-Based Study in Northeast India.

Background Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common infectious diseases and is commonly associated with comorbidities. However, data regarding TB and comorbidities are lacking from northeast India. The aim of the study is to see the clinical spectrum of TB and the frequency of comorbidities.

comparison of the microbial leakage of obturation systems: Epiphany with resilon, guttaflow, and ah plus with gutta percha.

Aim: To compare the microbial leakage of three root canal filling materials: AH Plus with Gutta-percha, Epiphany with Resilon, and Guttaflow using Enterococcus faecalis as the bacterial marker.

Materials And Methods: In total, 30 caries free, human maxillary incisors with straight roots were used. The teeth were de-coronated with a diamond disc and the length was standardized for all specimens.

Sealing ability of white and gray mineral trioxide aggregate mixed with distilled water and 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate as a root end filling material: an ex vivo evaluation.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of white and gray mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) mixed with distilled water and 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate when used as a root-end filling material using the dye-penetration technique.

Materials And Methods: A total of 48 single-rooted human teeth were cleaned, shaped, and obturated with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer.
