Staining ability of herbal tea preparations on a nano-filled composite restorative material - an in-vitro study.

: Discoloration of tooth-colored restorations due to various factors is one of the principal causes behind the failure of aesthetics. There has been an surge in the consumption of herbal beverages in recent times and the dietary factors play a potential role in the discoloration tooth-coloured restorations. This study was done to juxtapose the staining ability of green tea (GT), moringa tea (MT), and hibiscus tea (HT) on a nano-filled composite restorative material.

A comparative evaluation of calcium ion release and pH change using calcium hydroxide nanoparticles as intracanal medicament with different vehicles - An study.

Context: Nano-calcium hydroxide (NCH) has been proven to have several advantages over normal calcium hydroxide, supporting in its possible use as an intracanal medicament.

Aim: The aim is to evaluate and compare calcium ion release and pH change using NCH with different vehicles as intracanal medicament.

Subjects And Methods: Sixty freshly extracted premolars were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction level and the length was standardized.

Effect of Different Herbal Tea Preparations on the Color Stability of Glass Ionomer Cements.

Objective: To compare the color stability of the newer glass ionomer cements (GIC) when exposed to "Green tea" (GT), "Tulsi tea" (TT), and "Areca tea" (AT) using spectrophotometric analysis.

Materials And Methods: We selected commercially available GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA and Ketac Universal for this study. Eighty disc-shaped samples were made using a mold, which were immersed in the freshly prepared test solutions (distilled water, GT, TT, and AT) for 15 minutes per day for 60 days.

Effect of Green, Tulsi, and Areca Teas on the Color Stability of Two Composite Resin Materials - an in vitro Spectrophotometric Analysis.

Objective: To compare the effect of Green, Tulsi, and Areca teas on the color stability of two composite materials on the 30th and 60th days.

Materials And Methods: Two light cure composite restorative materials, Brilliant EverGlow (Group 1) and Brilliant NG, (Group 2) with different resin and filler characteristics were selected. The test solutions selected were Green tea, Tulsi tea, Areca tea, and artificial saliva (control group).

Restoration of an endodontically treated premolar with limited interocclusal clearance.

Endodontically treated teeth with the loss of coronal tooth structure when left untreated for a long period may cause supraeruption, drifting, tipping, and rotation of adjacent and opposing teeth. This may be challenging to the clinician, when fabricating a crown because of inadequate interocclusal space. This case report describes a simple technique to restore an endodontically treated maxillary first premolar with the loss of coronal tooth structure and lack of interocclusal space.

Unique case of a geminated supernumerary tooth with trifid crown.

Gemination, a relatively uncommon dental anomaly, is characterized by its peculiar representation as a tooth with a bifid crown and a common root and root canal. It usually occurs in primary dentition. To come across gemination in a supernumerary tooth is a rare phenomenon.

Multiple idiopathic cervical resorption: a diagnostic dilemma.

Multiple idiopathic cervical resorption is an uncommon condition, the etiology of which remains unknown. The case of a 36-year-old woman with idiopathic resorption in the cervical areas of multiple teeth is presented. Her medical history was noncontributory, but her dental history was valuable in reaching a diagnosis.
