Background: " (RCT)" is a common endodontic procedure targeted at preserving teeth compromised by pulp infection. The debate over the optimal number of visits for RCT remains inconclusive, with single- and multiple-visit approaches both being advocated.
Methods: A prospective research was conducted on 100 subjects undergoing RCT at a tertiary care center.
Background: Endodontic retreatment is crucial for preserving dental health but is influenced by various factors.
Objective: This research aimed to assess factors affecting the success of endodontic retreatment procedures.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 250 cases of endodontic retreatment.
Background: Because of its high rates of morbidity and death, especially in its late stages, oral cancer poses a serious threat to world health. Even with improvements in surgical and chemotherapeutic techniques, advanced oral cancer is still difficult to treat and frequently has unfavorable results.
Methods: Information on demographics, tumor features, treatment options, and results were gathered from medical records.
Objective: This study used spectrophotometry to examine how staining beverages affect the color stability of three commercial composite materials (nanohybrid composite (A), bulk fill composite (B), and flowable composite (C)) over time.
Materials And Methods: Composite discs were randomly divided into groups. The specimens were kept in coffee, tea, red wine, and cola for 14 days at 37°C in the dark.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess how oral and maxillofacial surgeons used various diagnostic tools for oral cancer.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional methodology was used, and a standardized questionnaire was given to oral and maxillofacial surgeons randomly chosen sample. The questionnaire gathered information on demographics and the use of diagnostic tools.
Objective: Simvastatin was used as an adjuvant medication in this clinico-radiographic investigation to assess the impact on crestal bone levels around immediate implantation.
Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled trial with 50 patients who needed an implant placed right away was done. Simvastatin was used as an adjuvant in groups ((Group A), whereas group (Group B)) served as the control group for the participants.
Introduction: The main goal of the root-end filling material is to create a hermetic seal to protect against microbes and their by-products. Excellent biocompatibility and sealing ability are characteristics of MTA developed by Torabinejad . This study aimed to compare the sealing ability of different type MTA as root-end filling material using dye penetration technique.

Materials And Methods: A total of 120 kids aged 7 to 10 participated in a randomized controlled experiment. On their first permanent teeth, the subjects each got one of the four sealant materials (A, B, C, or D).
Background: To ensure optimal exposure and enable precise tissue manipulation, cleft lip and palate abnormalities require surgical repair utilizing retractors. Different retractors may affect surgical outcomes; however, this is not yet evident. Examining surgeon preferences for retractors in cleft lip and palate surgery and assessing their impact on patient outcomes were the goals of this study.

Materials And Methods: Nine groups were created from 45 samples of various building materials and construction techniques from the study. Five samples were tested, and 45 impressions were recorded.
Aim: Single-tooth implant restorations, whether screw-retained or cement-retained, are essential for prosthodontic rehabilitation despite having low design flexibility, cosmetic appeal, and high 5-year survival rates.
Materials And Methods: A study involving 14 patients with missing mandibular first molars used 28 implants and cement-retained and screw-retained prostheses. Patients had a single edentulous gap, adequate dental hygiene, and sufficient bone volume at the implant site.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the bond strengths of four different lingual retainers and assess the adhesive remnant index (ARI) to determine their effectiveness in orthodontic retention.
Methodology: Eighty human incisor teeth were divided into four groups, with each group bonded using a different retainer: Group 1 (E-Glass retainer), Group 2 (0.017" Co-axial stainless steel wire), Group 3 (Splint C.
Unlabelled: COVID-19, the Ecumenical Pandemic that hit Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in 2019 has instigated an emergency situation all over the globe. Current scientific corroborations highlighted the role of zoonotic cross-over species transmission for the spread of the deadly virus SARSCoV2. The proposition of ABO blood grouping to susceptibility for various infectious diseases has been documented in the past since blood group antigens constitute polymorphic traits that are inherited among humans, therefore are frequent targets in epidemiological studies.

A frequent occurrence that can affect healing outcomes is postoperative edema. The purpose of this study was to evaluate postoperative edema in various vertical bone graft defects following periodontal surgery.

There are presently a wide array of techniques and approaches available to investigators wishing to study blood flow, perfusion, and vascular structure and function in human subjects. In this multi-sectioned review, we discuss capillaroscopy, carotid intima-media thickness, flow-mediated dilation, laser Doppler flowmetry, near-infrared spectroscopy, peripheral arterial tonometry, pulse wave velocity, retinal fundus imaging, and vascular plethysmography.

It is caused by an increase in intramuscular pressure which subsequently impedes local tissue perfusion and function. It disproportionately occurs in young females; however, the diagnosis should not be excluded in other demographics.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is part of a wide spectrum of connective tissue disorders characterized by hyperextensible skin, hypermobile joints, and tissue fragility. Presentation varies from mild hyperextensibility of the skin and joints to debilitating physical disabilities and vascular complications because of genetic defects in type one and three collagen synthesis.
