Evaluation of Dental Status in Relation to Excessive Horizontal and Vertical Overlap in North Indian Population.

Introduction: Tooth wear (attrition) is a multifactorial entity, the pathogenesis of which involves many factors but the role of malocclusion cannot be undermined. Overjet and overbite play an important role in defining occlusion, hence they should also play an important role in causing attrition.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the relationship of dental health status between the vertical and horizontal overlap.

Remineralization of Artificial Dentin Lesion using Dental Nanomaterials.

Background: Teeth in the human body are the most mineralized tissue, which contain both organic and inorganic components. Demineralization and remineralization of teeth occur continuously, but demineralization causes structural loss of a tooth.

Aim: This study was done to find the effect of ceramic by adding mono-n-Dodecyl phosphate to ceramic in dentin remineralization.

Evaluation of Relationship between Quality and Performance Measures Concepts of Pediatric Oral Health: A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: The dental quality alliance of the American Dental Association developed quality and performance measure concepts (QMCs) for pediatric dentistry to identify variations in care and to improve quality of care.

Objectives: This study evaluated the relationship between the proposed QMCs and oral health, measured as caries status.

Methodology: Parents/guardians of new patients presenting to the Nationwide Children's Hospital Dental Clinic for a nonurgent hygiene appointment were asked to complete a 10-question survey that reflected the QMCs.

Cariostatic Efficacy of Cinnamon Water Extract on : An Study.

Background: Dental caries is a chronic, widespread, and infectious disease affecting the large population. Anticariogenic effects of different herbs and natural products are observed, cinnamon among these, showed the ability to inhibit mutans biofilm.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the cinnamon water extract use on nicotine exposed biolfilms.

Cognizance and Use of Minimally Invasive Dentistry Approach by General Dentists: An Overlooked Companion.

Background: Dental caries begins with the decalcification of the first nonorganic part, followed by the decay of the organic tooth matrix. Minimally invasive dentistry (MID) focuses on using the adhesive technique for restoration as these techniques allow minimum removal of healthy tooth structure.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the attitude, knowledge, and behavior of the general dentists toward the use of MID and to evaluate if MID is considered as standard care measure among general dentists.
