Resorption Potential of Endoflas Powder With Curcumin Gel Against Endoflas for Pulpectomy in Primary Mandibular Molars: A One-Year Follow-Up Evidence-Based Case Reports.

Pediatric endodontics in the primary teeth is chemomechanical due to the difficulties encountered in cleaning and shaping the root canals having complex anatomical configurations. Not only are obturating materials having ideal properties to be used in the primary teeth, but also imparting an impervious hermetic seal to prevent the nidus of reinfection is highly pivotal for the success of pulpectomy. However, certain obturating materials contain one or the other components that are irritant to the periapical region and aggravates the inflammatory process.

Rehabilitation with dental implants is, without doubt, an ordained technique. The clinical utilization of dental implants has accelerated in recent years, and new applications continue to emerge. This retrospective study aims to report the implant dimensions commonly used for the posterior mandibular region.

Requirement of Osteoplasty in Dental Implant Surgery-A Retrospective Analysis.

Osteoplasty is a surgical procedure for reshaping or recontouring bone. As dental implants are the most commonly preferred treatment for prosthetic rehabilitation, adequate bone height and width are important prerequisites for a successful implant. There is continuous resorption of the alveolar crestal region after extraction of the tooth, which may form sharp edges or sharp bony margins.

Coherent Epitaxial Semiconductor-Ferromagnetic Insulator InAs/EuS Interfaces: Band Alignment and Magnetic Structure.

Hybrid semiconductor-ferromagnetic insulator heterostructures are interesting due to their tunable electronic transport, self-sustained stray field, and local proximitized magnetic exchange. In this work, we present lattice-matched hybrid epitaxy of semiconductor-ferromagnetic insulator InAs/EuS heterostructures and analyze the atomic-scale structure and their electronic and magnetic characteristics. The Fermi level at the InAs/EuS interface is found to be close to the InAs conduction band and in the band gap of EuS, thus preserving the semiconducting properties.

This systematic review aimed to assess the survival rate of space maintainers in children.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted until October 2017 using PubMed, Scopus, and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases to identify peer- reviewed papers published in English.

Dynamics of the photoinduced insulator-to-metal transition in a nickelate film.

Material properties can be controlled via strain, pressure, chemical composition, or dimensionality. Nickelates are particularly susceptible due to their strong variations of the electronic and magnetic properties on such external stimuli. Here, we analyze the photoinduced dynamics in a single crystalline NdNiO film upon excitation across the electronic gap.

Management of Crown-Root Fracture in Primary Canine by Surgical Extrusion: A Case Report with 1-Year Follow-Up.

Complicated crown-root fractures of primary teeth often present with a greater challenge to the pediatric dentist. Extraction of the involved tooth is the routine treatment indicated. But, early loss of this primary tooth may lead to esthetic and psychological problems and also causes a detrimental effect on the development of occlusion and the alveolar bone.

Management of foreign body ingestion in children with cerebral palsy: Need for proper trauma management protocol.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is described as a group of permanent, nonprogressive movement disorders that cause physical disability in development and further affecting body movement and muscle coordination. The condition develops when certain abnormalities persist inside the developing brain that ultimately disrupts the brain's ability to control movement and maintain posture and balance. Patients with CP are more susceptible to dental trauma due to the lack of muscle coordination and unexpected involuntary movements.

Conservative management of a rootless premolar: a case report with 4-year follow-up.

Any disturbance in the primary tooth can lead to an altered eruption pattern of the corresponding permanent tooth. This article presents a case of a carious permanent second premolar with an immature root that erupted prematurely following extraction of the infected primary second molar. The carious premolar was treated with a stepwise excavation, and a primary stainless steel crown was adapted to prevent microleakage and restoration failure.
