Background: Periodontal diseases are a group of inflammatory diseases causing alveolar bone loss and eventually leading to loss of teeth. The present study was evaluated the effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the treatment of intrabony defects with or without bone graft.

Materials And Methods: Thirty subjects with the presence of intrabony defects were enrolled.

Data on morphometric analysis of anterior teeth from Hazaribag College of Dental Sciences and Hospital,jharkhand.

It is of interest to document data on morphometric (measurement of external form) analysis of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth collected from a dental set up using mesio-distal (MD) dimension. The mesiodistal dimensions of all permanent anterior teeth (central incisor, lateral incisor and canine) of 25 males and 25 females patients were recorded using digital vernier calipers.

Role of natural salivary defenses in the maintenance of healthy oral microbiota in children and adolescents.

Aim: The present study served the purpose of assessing the levels of salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), proteins, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels in caries-free and caries active children.

Materials And Methods: Stratified randomized sampling method was used to include 40 subjects in the age group 12-15 years having a full complement of permanent dentition except for third molars. The selected pediatric subjects were further divided into two groups of 20 each based on DMFS score, Group-I - Caries free (DMFS score = 0) and Group-II - Caries active (DMFS score ≥10).
