Comparative evaluation of minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration of various herbal irrigants against .

Context: The purpose of this article is to evaluate the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Herbal Irrigants.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate MIC and MBC of herbal extracts of , , and Green Tea Against .

Methodology: The MIC and MBC of extracts of (neem), (turmeric), and Green Tea were evaluated to establish them as standard root canal irrigants against using agar well diffusion method.

Morphometric analysis of the relationship between maxillary posterior teeth and maxillary sinus floor in central Indian population: A cone-beam computed tomography study.

Background: The relationship between the maxillary sinus (MS) and the root apices of posterior teeth is of significant clinical relevance as it influences the diagnosis and treatment planning when operating in the posterior areas of the maxilla. The aim of this study, therefore, is to assess this anatomic relationship and evaluate the propensity of roots of posterior maxillary teeth to be intruded into the MS space using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning.

Materials And Methods: One thousand CBCT scans of patients, aged 20 years or above, were analyzed in the study.

Comparative evaluation of canal transportation and canal centering ability in oval canals with newer nickel-titanium rotary single file systems - A cone-beam computed tomography study.

Context: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the centering ability and canal transportation of TruNatomy, OneCurve, and Jizai file systems to assess their performance in oval-shaped canals using cone-beam computed tomography imaging.

Materials And Methods: Forty-two fully formed single-rooted mandibular premolars were selected with a buccolingual canal size 2-2.5 times the mesiodistal size at 5 mm from the apex, with 0°-10° canal curvature with a 5-6 mm radius, at 5 mm from the apex.

Internal tunneling resorption associated with invasive cervical resorption.

Treating pathological defects that are caused by resorption in teeth can be challenging. The task is complicated further if the resorption extends beyond the restrains of the root. The aim of this report is to describe a case of extensive internal tunneling resorption (ITR) associated with invasive cervical resorption (ICR) in a maxillary right lateral incisor and its nonsurgical treatment.

Evaluation of proximity of mandibular molars and second premolar to inferior alveolar nerve canal among central Indians: A cone-beam computed tomographic retrospective study.

Context: A study was done to assess the average distances of root apices of mandibular first molar, second molar, and second premolar to inferior alveolar nerve canal (IANC), among males and females in central India.

Materials And Methods: High-resolution full-volume cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were obtained from the radiology database at the Sri Aurobindo College of Dentistry, Indore. After scrutinizing the database, CBCT of 40 males and 40 females that conformed to the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the study.

Accidental injection of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate instead of an anesthetic agent: A case report.

We report a case where 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate was mistaken for an anesthetic solution and infiltrated into the buccal vestibule during routine root canal treatment. Accidentally, 2% CHX gluconate solution was injected in the right upper buccal vestibule (16) of a 23-year-old male during routine root canal treatment. The patient experienced pain and a burning sensation over the injected area shortly after injection.

Analysis of Information, Impact and Control of HIV amongst Dental Professionals of Central India.

Background: Dental health care providers may be exposed to a variety of microorganisms via blood, oral or respiratory secretions. Though the risk of transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in dental settings is low, the consequences of being infected are life threatening. Therefore, high standards in infection control and waste management are required in controlling occupational contagion and cross infection.

Comparative Analysis of Canal Centering Ability of Different Single File Systems Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography- An In-Vitro Study.

Background: The ability of an endodontic instrument to remain centered in the root canal system is one of the most important characteristic influencing the clinical performance of a particular file system. Thus, it is important to assess the canal centering ability of newly introduced single file systems before they can be considered a viable replacement of full-sequence rotary file systems.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the canal transportation, centering ability, and time taken for preparation of curved root canals after instrumentation with single file systems One Shape and Wave One, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Evaluation of cervical marginal and internal adaptation using newer bulk fill composites: An in vitro study.

Objective: To evaluate the cervical marginal and internal adaptation of posterior bulk fill resin composites of different viscosities, before and after thermo-cycling (TMC).

Materials And Methods: Eighty box-only class II cavities were prepared in 40 extracted human premolars with the distal proximal box beneath the enamel-cementum junction (CEJ). The teeth in the experimental groups were restored with bulk fill resin composite restorations (Gr.

Influence of Implant Surface Topography and Loading Condition on Stress Distribution in Bone Around Implants: A Comparative 3D FEA.

A three-dimensional Finite Element Method was used to study the influence of porous coated surface topography of an implant on stress and strain distribution pattern in the cortical and cancellous bone during axial and non-axial loading. Two implants, one with porous surface topography and one with smooth surface were embedded in separate geometric models of posterior mandibular region which was generated using a CT scan data. Material properties and boundary conditions were applied.
