Intraradicular Smear Removal Efficacy of Triphala as a Final Rinse Solution in Curved Canals: A Scanning Electron Microscope Study.

Aim: This study aimed to compare smear layer removal ability of different solutions of Triphala (TA) when used in specific irrigant protocols in curved canals.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-four mandibular first molars with 25-35 degrees of curvature of mesial roots were selected and standardized, and canals were prepared. As the initial rinse solution (8 mL), 5% sodium hypochlorite was used.

Erosion Infiltration Technique': A Novel Alternative for Masking Enamel White Spot Lesion.

Enamel White spot lesions are early signs of demineralization under the intact enamel, which may or may not lead to the development of caries. An inactive white spot lesion might act as an arrested dental caries and impair the esthetic appearance by displaying a milky white color from its interior opacity. The first choice of treatment is remineralization with various remineralizing agents such as fluoride and ACP-CCP.
