Effectiveness of laser fluorescence-based device in detecting the extent of re-mineralisation in primary teeth compared to the conventional method: An study.

Background: Laser fluorescence (LF)-based clinical device DIAGNOdent™ is at present being used to detect caries. Can the same be used to detect therapeutic remineralisation of early white spot lesions?

Aims: To explore the feasibility of using LF-based device in monitoring the changes following remineralisation of demineralised primary teeth.

Materials And Method: The sample number for the present experimental in vitro study was 10.

Effects of traditional and novel proteolytic agents on tissue dissolution and dentine microhardness.

The study aimed to evaluate the tissue-dissolving ability of papain and bromelain with respect to that of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) at the temperatures of 25°C and 60°C. The study also assessed the effects of these proteolytic agents on radicular dentine microhardness. Warming NaOCl, papain and bromelain solutions resulted in significant tissue dissolution at all time intervals (p < 0.

Radiation mitigating activities of L. against whole-body X-ray-induced damages in albino Wistar rat model.

In the present study, we investigated radiation mitigating activities of L. () against whole-body X- ray induced damages in albino Wistar rat model. The animals were orally administered with 200 mg/kg bodyweight of hydroalcoholic leaf extract of for five consecutive days and on the fifth day, after the last dose of extract administration, animals were exposed to 4 Gy of X-rays.
