Structure, Surface Topography, and Glass Transition Temperature of Dental Poly (Methyl Methacrylate) Resin Conjugated with 3,9-bisethenyl-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro [5,5] Undecane as Cross-linker: An Research.

Aim And Objectives: To characterize and analyze the structural presentation of a new denture base copolymer with a spiro-acetal cross-linker at 10 and 20 wt.% concentrations by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray (FESEM-EDX) spectroscopies. Also, to evaluate the glass transition temperature (T) of the new copolymer.

Chemical Characterization and Physical Properties of Dental Restorative Composite Resin with a Novel Multifunctional Cross-linking Comonomer.

Aim And Objective: To chemically characterize restorative composite resin polymerized with 20 wt.% and 40 wt.% dipentaerythritol penta-/hexaacrylate (DPEPHA) comonomer.

Comparative Evaluation of pH and Cytotoxicity of Zinc Oxide-Ozonated Eugenol and Conventional Zinc Oxide Eugenol as Endodontic Sealers.

Background: Eugenol released from zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE)-based sealants may cause irritation to the periapical tissues and has cytotoxic potential. Ozone therapy has numerous clinical applications with humans because of its bactericidal action, detoxifying effect, stimulation of angiogenesis, and wound-healing capacity. Therefore ozone can be incorporated in ZOE sealer to exploit these properties.

Morphometric study on mandibular foramen and incidence of accessory mandibular foramen in mandibles of south Indian population and its clinical implications in inferior alveolar nerve block.

The mandibular foramen is a landmark for procedures like inferior alveolar nerve block, mandibular implant treatment, and mandibular osteotomies. The present study was aimed to identify the precise location of the mandibular foramen and the incidence of accessory mandibular foramen in dry adult mandibles of South Indian population. The distance of mandibular foramen from the anterior border of the ramus, posterior border of the ramus, mandibular notch, base of the mandible, third molar, and apex of retromolar trigone was measured with a vernier caliper in 204 mandibles.
