Silver Nanoparticles as an Intracanal Medicament: A Scoping Review.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) release Ag ions with potent bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. They have shown promising results as an intracanal medicament for removing (), a resistant bacterium associated with root canal failures. This review summarizes the role of AgNPs as an intracanal medicament.

Dentists' Utilization of Caries Risk Assessment and Individualized Caries Prevention Methods in Pediatric Patients in Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: The first step in any complete oral health care plan for a child is a thorough caries risk assessment (CRA). This study aimed to investigate whether the practice dentists in Saudi Arabia's Western province do CRA methods and offer Individualized Caries Prevention (ICP) to their pediatric patients.

Material And Methods: Dentists in active clinical practice in the Western province of Saudi Arabia were the participants of this cross-sectional survey.

Association between Handgrip Strength, Skinfold Thickness, and Trunk Strength among University Students.

Objectives: The main goal was to explore the relationship between hand grip strength (HGS), the thickness of the skinfold at multiple sites, and the trunk flexor (TF) and extensor (TE) muscle strength among healthy participants.

Methods: We employed a cross-sectional design and randomly recruited 40 participants. Ultimately, only 39 participants were included.

Dental Management Considerations for Patients with Cardiovascular Disease-A Narrative Review.

Dental therapists encounter patients with various systemic diseases of which cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients form a significant segment. Relation between oral health and cardiac diseases has been well established. Common cardiac disorders encountered in a dental practice include arterial hypertension, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, infective endocarditis, stroke, and cardiac pacemaker.

Remineralization Potential of Theobromine on Artificial Carious Lesions.

Background And Aims: This study aimed to investigate the remineralization potential of two concentrations of theobromine (100 mg/L and 200 mmg/L) with fluoridated dentifrice, NovaMin, and nanohydroxyapatite using DIAGNOdent, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis.

Materials And Methods: Two sections were taken from 50 teeth each. Artificial carious lesions were induced using demineralizing solution.
