Cytotoxic Evaluation of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle Using L929 Cell Lines.

Tooth movement in orthodontic therapy is connected to the frictional force that is created as the wire passes over the bracket. It is possible for teeth to move quickly when friction is at a minimum. Wires coated with nanoparticles have been found to reduce friction as a result of current developments in the orthodontics sector.

Stereomicroscope-Based Study Evaluating the Marginal and Internal Fit of PEEK and PEKK Crowns.

Purpose: The aim of the in vitro study was to compare the internal merge and marginal perfection of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) crowns under a stereomicroscope.

Methods: All-ceramic preparation is done on the maxillary first premolar which is mounted on the wax block which was scanned using 3Shape scanner and duplicated into 30 acrylic CAD/CAM dies ( = 15) for the placement of PEEK and PEKK crowns. The YENADENT milling system was used to fabricate 15 samples from Group A PEEK crowns and to fabricate 15 samples from Group B PEKK crowns.

Comparison of Patient Satisfaction between Invisible Appliance and Fixed Orthodontic Appliances - A Systematic Review.

To compare the patient acceptance between fixed orthodontic appliances and clear aligners. An electronic search was completed in PubMed, Cochrane Database, Web of Science, Scopus, Lilacs, Google Scholar, and Open Grey databases without any restrictions until August 23. All comparative study types contrasting patient perception between clear aligners and fixed appliances were included.

Perceptiveness and Attitude on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Dentistry among Dentists and Non-Dentists - A Regional Survey.

Unlabelled: Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging tool in modern medicine and the digital world. AI can help dentists diagnose oral diseases, design treatment plans, monitor patient progress and automate administrative tasks. The aim of this study is to evaluate the perception and attitude on use of artificial intelligence in dentistry for diagnosis and treatment planning among dentists and non-dentists' population of south Tamil Nadu region in India.

Antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity zinc-titanium dioxide nanocomposite.

The current study concentrated on the green synthesis of Zinc-titanium dioxide nano-composite (Zn-TiO2 NC) through the use of lemon extract, optimizing the different experimental factors required for the formation and stability of nanocomposite. The preparation of nanocomposite was confirmed by the observation of the colour change and the surface plasmon resonance band was found at 380 nm, utilizing UV-Visible analysis. The TEM analysis, the morphological features of the prepared nanocomposite was identified to be spherical shape with mean particle size of 25 nm.

Application of nanoparticles in Dentistry.

Nanoparticles(NPs) are of particle sizes lesser than 100nm and are insoluble the field which deal with the handling of these particles is coined as "Nanotechnology" as their particle size is smaller, they can penetrate easily therefore they are applied in various medical fields, drug delivery and in dentistry as they have antimicrobial property, reduces friction, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant property. Many studies have been done to evaluate its application and its cytotoxicity by varying its concentration and various studies have been done to evaluate its physical property. Therefore, it is of interest to describe concepts of nanoparticles, mode of action, tissue reaction and its application in orthodontics.

Facial indices in lateral cephalogram for sex prediction in Chennai population - A semi-novel study.

Background: Osteological examination is a very reliable tool to determine the sex of the individual as the consolidation of the dimorphic characteristics concludes the sex of the individual. This study was performed with lateral cephalograms, which is a vital diagnostic tool for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. An index was formed, which could be considered as a reliable sex determinant in forensic applications.
