Aim: To evaluate efficacy of oil pulling on caries activity of .

Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled experiment was designed, with 60 children chosen at random.

Palatogingival Groove: The Known-unknown Devourer.

Aim: This case report aims to describe the management of a maxillary lateral incisor with a palatogingival groove (PGG) associated with a complex lesion.

Background: The PGG is a rare developmental anomaly that involves the lingual surface of the maxillary incisors and extends for varying distances and depths on the root surface. This anomaly is usually inconspicuous and funnel-shaped, which forms a niche where bacterial plaque and calculus can accumulate to levels significant for pathological changes resulting in endodontic and periodontal lesions.

Don't Rush with Your Brush: An Study on Toothbrush Hygiene.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of audiovisual (AV) aids in creating awareness of toothbrush hygiene.

Comparative Evaluation of Two Esthetic Full Coronal Restorative Materials for Primary Incisors.

Aim: This study was designed to compare the clinical efficacy of two esthetic restorative materials, nanoceramic (Magma NT®) and giomer (Beautifil II®), as full coronal restoration in primary maxillary incisors.

Materials And Methods: A total of 15 patients aged 3-5 years presenting with mutilated primary maxillary incisors due to caries or trauma were selected for the study using randomized simple sampling. A total of 40 maxillary incisors were randomly divided into two equal groups, with 20 teeth in each group.

A Comparative Evaluation of Xylitol Chewing Gum and a Combination of IgY + Xylitol Chewable Tablet on Salivary Count in Children: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

Aim: The study was designed for evaluation and comparison of the efficacy of Xylitol chewing gum and a combination of IgY + Xylitol chewable tablet (Nodecay ) against the "salivary " count in children.

Materials And Methods: About 120 children belonging to 6-12 years age-group were enrolled into this "double-blind randomized control clinical trial" according to the selection criteria. They were randomly assigned to three groups of 40 each: Group I-Xylitol chewing gum, Group II-IgY + Xylitol Chewable tablet (Nodecay ), and Group III-Control.

Comparative Evaluation of and Calcium Hydroxide Mix as an Obturating Material in Deciduous Molars: An Study.

Aim And Objectives: To evaluate clinical and radiographic efficacy of a mix of ( extract) and calcium hydroxide as an obturating material in primary molars and to compare these findings with commercially available iodoform with calcium hydroxide paste (metapex).

Materials And Methods: The present study was conducted on sixty children age group 4-7 years requiring multiple visit pulpectomy for their primary molars. The teeth selected were randomly divided into two groups.

Efficacy of Audiovisual Aid in Assessing Parental Attitude toward their Child's Oral Health.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of audiovisual (AV) aid in assessing the parental attitude for their child's oral health.

Recurrent Irritation Fibroma-"What Lies Beneath": A Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach.

Unlabelled: Irritation fibroma is a benign, exophytic reactive oral lesion that develops secondary to injury. Its recurrence rate is rare but may happen in case of repeated trauma at the same site. This case report describes a recurrent fibroma in the anterior region of the hard palate in a 13-year-old male patient, which recurred in less than 1 year of surgical excision of the previous lesion.
