Anterior Dental Injuries in 8-12-year-old Schoolchildren of Yamunanagar, Northern India: A Districtwide Oral Health Survey.

Background/aim: Due to its frequency, early occurrence, and severe adverse effects, if untreated, traumatic dental injury (TDI) is a public dental health issue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dental injuries caused by trauma in the anterior teeth among schoolchildren of Yamunanagar (Haryana), Northern India.

Materials And Methods: A sample of 11,897 schoolchildren in the age-group of 8-12 years from 36 urban/rural schools was examined for TDI using Ellis and Davey classification.

Comparative evaluation of canal transportation, centering ability, and remaining dentin thickness between WaveOne and ProTaper rotary by using cone beam computed tomography: An in vitro study.

Aims: To compare the canal transportation, centering ability, and remaining dentin thickness of WaveOne and ProTaper systems using cone beam computed tomography.

Subjects And Methods: Forty extracted human single-rooted premolars were used in the present study. Preinstrumentation scanning of all teeth was taken; canal curvatures were calculated, and the samples were randomly divided into two groups, with twenty samples in each group; one group was instrumented with WaveOne system and the other group with ProTaper rotary system.

Influence of salivary contamination on the dentin bond strength of two different seventh generation adhesive systems: In vitro study.

Aim: To investigate the effect of salivary contamination on the bond strength of two different seventh generation adhesive systems.

Materials And Methods: Sixty caries-free human premolars with flat dentin surfaces were randomly divided into six groups of 10 teeth each and bonding was done using seventh-generation bonding agents Adper Easy One (3M ESPE) and Xeno V (Dentsply). Following the bonding procedure, resin composite was bonded to the surfaces using a plastic mould.
