Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) transmission through aerosols in restorative and endodontic practice: Strategies for prevention.

Rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in several countries of the world has created a state of public health emergency. COVID-19 is principally a respiratory disease, and the virus is present in respiratory secretions. Oral health-care professionals are susceptible to being infected with the disease since they work in close proximity to patient's face and oral cavity for long period of time.

Comparative evaluation of microleakage around Class V cavities restored with alkasite restorative material with and without bonding agent and flowable composite resin: An study.

Background: Marginal adaptability of restorative material is one of the prime factors for success of a restoration.

Aim: To evaluate microleakage at enamel restoration and dentin restoration interface of Class V cavities restored with new alkasite restorative material Cention-N, with and without using bonding agent and flowable composite resin.

Materials And Methods: Thirty Class V tooth preparations were divided into three groups (n = 10): Group-I restored with Cention-N (Ivoclar Vivadent) without adhesive, Group-II was restored with Cention-N after application of eighth-generation bonding agent (3M ESPE, Single Bond Universal Adhesive), and Group-III was restored with flowable composite resin (Tetric-N-Flow, Ivoclar Vivadent).

The autologous platelet rich fibrin: A novel approach in osseous regeneration after cystic enucleation: A pilot study.

Context: The platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is second generation platelet concentrate that has been widely used and researched for stimulation and acceleration of soft tissue and osseous healing. Its continuous delivery of growth factors and proteins mimic the need of physiological wound healing and regenerative tissue processes.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of PRF in osseous regeneration after enucleation of cystic lesions.

An Unusual Complication with Use of Lignocaine: A Case Report.

Allergic responses to lignocaine (amide local anaesthesia) used in dentistry is extremely rare. It is widely used by Oral Maxillofacial surgeons to carry out various procedures safely, comfortably and efficiently. It is important for the practitioners to be aware that allergic reactions though very rare, can occur after injection of lignocaine intradermally for allergy testing.
