Comparative Evaluation of GC Gold Label IX with GC Gold Label IX Extra and GC Gold Label Hybrid in Cavitated Lesions Prepared by Hand Instrumentation Technique in Primary Molars: An Study.

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical efficacy of GC Gold Label IX, GC Gold Label IX Extra, and GC Gold Label Hybrid in occlusal surface cavities in primary molars prepared by hand instrumentation technique.

Materials And Methods: Ninety primary molars were selected from the children according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected teeth were randomly allocated into the following three groups, with 30 teeth in each group, according to the restorative material used: group I: GC Gold Label IX, group II: GC Gold Label IX Extra, and group III: GC Gold Label Hybrid.

Comparative Evaluation of Changes in Salivary pH and Count in Saliva by Natural Sugar Substitutes: An Study.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of natural sugar substitutes-stevia, jaggery, and honey on salivary pH and count in saliva.

Materials And Methods: Children aged between 7 and 12 years with no active carious lesion were selected. A total of 80 subjects were randomly selected and divided into three experimental groups and one control group, with 20 subjects in each group.

Comparative Evaluation of the Remineralizing Potential of Silver Diamine Fluoride, Casein Phosphopeptide-amorphous Calcium Phosphate, and Fluoride Varnish on the Enamel Surface of Primary and Permanent Teeth: An Study.

Introduction: With the paradigm shift in the management of dental caries, the focus is now laid on remineralization therapies that can arrest the progression of the disease and remineralize the subsurface lesions.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the remineralizing potential of silver diamine fluoride (SDF), casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), and fluoride varnish (FV) on enamel surfaces in primary and permanent teeth.

Materials And Methods: A total of 120 primary anterior teeth and 120 premolars were used to prepare enamel blocks in acrylic resin.

Comparative Evaluation of Smear Layer Removal Efficacy of Neem Leaf Extract, Propolis, and Orange Oil when used as Endodontic Irrigants: An Scanning Electron Microscopic Study.

Introduction: In root canal treatment, chemical debridement of the root canal with the help of irrigants is important due to the complex internal anatomy of the teeth. Biomechanical root canal preparation produces a smear layer. It covers the dentinal tubules, which may interfere with the penetration of various irrigants and intracanal medicaments, so the smear layer has to be removed.

Clinical Evaluation of Root Resorption and its Correlation with Obturation Quality in Pulpectomized Deciduous Teeth with Different Obturating Materials: An Study.

Aims And Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the root resorption in pulpectomized deciduous teeth and its correlation with obturation quality using zinc oxide and eugenol (ZOE), Metapex and Endoflas at the interval of 6 and 12 months.

Materials And Methods: A total of 150 infected primary mandibular molars were randomly and equally divided into three subgroups ( = 50 each): Group 1 (ZoE), Group 2 (Metapex), and Group 3 (Endoflas) based on the obturation material preferred. The teeth were clinically and radiographically evaluated at 6 and 12 months' postoperatively by another investigator who was blinded to the type of filling material that was used in each tooth.

Mineral trioxide aggregate-induced apical closure in nonvital immature permanent maxillary incisor.

Treatment of nonvital immature permanent teeth with calcium hydroxide is associated with few difficulties such as weakened tooth root, root canal reinfection, and long treatment time. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plug method is an alternative treatment method for open apices and has gained popularity in the recent times. This case report describes the management of a late-referral case of periapically involved, traumatized immature permanent incisor by endodontic treatment and the use of MTA apical plug.
