Antimicrobial Efficacy of Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles against Cariogenic Pathogens - An Study.

Background: Nowadays, emergence of drug resistance might happen in the world. Hence, invention of new dental material had started by researchers for the same. The present study evaluated the antimicrobial property of green synthesized nanosilver particles against dental cariogenic microorganisms such as and .

A Comparative Evaluation of Intracanal Calcium Hydroxide Removal with Hand File, Rotary File, and Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation: An Study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of hand file (K-file), rotary file (HERO shaper), and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI; U-file) in removing Ca(OH) from the root canal.

Materials And Methods: Thirty single-rooted teeth were collected and decoronated to standardize the length to 14 mm. Cleaning and shaping were conducted using HERO shaper rotary files (up to no.

An Comparative Evaluation of Distribution of Three Different Sealers by Single-Cone Obturation Technique.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of sealer at different levels of the root canal using three different sealers in a single-cone obturation technique.

Materials And Methods: Thirty freshly extracted mandibular premolar teeth were selected and access opening was performed. Working length was determined.

Hyperplasia of the mandibular body: An anomaly in a developmental anomaly.

Hyperplasias of the mandible are usually seen in relation to the condyle or affecting one half of the mandible, such cases being described as hemimandibular hyperplasia or elongation. This article presents a rare case of hyperplasia of the right body of the mandible. The case being unique in that although being present from childhood did not cause any functional disturbances or any occlusal disharmony characteristically seen in such developmental anomalies.

Treatment planning in conservative dentistry.

A patient attending for treatment of a restorative nature may present for a variety of reasons. The success is built upon careful history taking coupled with a logical progression to diagnosis of the problem that has been presented. Each stage follows on from the preceding one.

Direct digital radiography versus conventional radiography - assessment of visibility of file length placed in the root canal: An in vitro study.

Aim And Objective: To compare conventional and direct digital radiography (DDR) in working length measurement of the root canal and to assess the significance of the different enhancement modes provided by the software to visualize the file length.

Materials And Methods: Access cavities were prepared in 30 extracted maxillary central incisors. Size 15 k-file was introduced into the canal till it was flush with the apical foramen.

Pyogenic granuloma of labial mucosa: A misnomer in an anomolous site.

Pyogenic granuloma is tumor-like proliferation to a nonspecific infection. Clinically, pyogenic granuloma presents as sessile or pedunculated exophytic mass with a smooth or lobulated surface which has a tendency to bleed easily. These lesions tend to occur slightly more in females, frequently involving the gingiva of the maxillary region.
