Comparative evaluation of the predictive value of cariogram and informal caries risk assessment among school-going children in the age group of 8-9 years of Yamuna Nagar District, Haryana.

Aim: This longitudinal, observational study was conducted in the schools of Yamunanagar, Haryana, to evaluate and compare the predictive value of formal type of caries risk assessment using reduced Cariogram software, including only seven factors and informal type among 8-9 years' school-going children.

Methods: A.

Unlabelled: total of 111 school-going children were included in the study.

Biofilm in endodontics: A review.

Endodontic disease is a biofilm-mediated infection, and primary aim in the management of endodontic disease is the elimination of bacterial biofilm from the root canal system. The most common endodontic infection is caused by the surface-associated growth of microorganisms. It is important to apply the biofilm concept to endodontic microbiology to understand the pathogenic potential of the root canal microbiota as well as to form the basis for new approaches for disinfection.
