Aim: The purpose of the study is to compare and evaluate the efficacy of different root canal irrigants-100, 75, 50, and 25% extract, 100, 75, 50, and 25% apple cider vinegar (ACV), a combination of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and saline on smear layer removal using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Materials And Methods: A total of 80 freshly extracted single-rooted teeth were collected and divided into 10 groups-group I: normal saline (negative control), group II: NaOCl with EDTA (positive control), group III: 100% extract, group IV: 75% extract, group V: 50% extract, group VI: 25% extract, group VII: 100% ACV, group VIII: 75% ACV, group IX: 50% ACV, and group X: 25% ACV.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate and compare the effect of different varnishes: 3M ESPE Clinpro and Voco Profluorid and fissure sealants- 3M ESPE ClinPro and Ivoclar Vivadent Helioseal-F on the count in the saliva of children.
Materials And Methods: Eighty children of 6-12 years of age with no incidence of caries were selected and saliva samples were collected by drooling method after oral prophylaxis. The children were divided randomly into four groups and materials were applied accordingly.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare the mechanical properties (compressive strength (CS) and diametral tensile strength (DTS)) of four different restorative materials: conventional glass ionomer (Fuji IX), ClearFil AP-X, Filtex Z350-XT, and Cention N.
Materials And Methods: Specimens ( = 80) were prepared from Fuji IX, ClearFil AP-X, Filtex Z350-XT, and Cention N for testing compressive strength and DTS.
Statistical Analysis: Results obtained were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test at significance ( < 0.
