Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the apical microleakage of zinc oxide (ZOE) eugenol and Endoflas as obturating materials using different root canal irrigants in primary teeth.
Materials And Methods: A total of 80 extracted primary anterior teeth were divided randomly into four groups with different irrigants and obturating materials used. Group I [ZOE + sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)], group II [ZOE + NaOCI + ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)], group III (Endoflas FS + NaOCI), group IV (Endoflas FS + NaOCI + EDTA).

Introduction: has a pathogenic role in failed endodontic treatments. The study aimed to assess the efficiency of (SA) and cinnamon oil (CO) extract on biofilm eradication.
Materials And Methods: The antibacterial efficacy of SA and CO against was assessed by the tests of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and further, the interaction with agents was evaluated at different time intervals by a time-kill assay.
Aims And Objectives: Evaluating the antimicrobial efficacy of the novel combinations of zinc oxide mixed with ajwain oil (ZNOA) and combination of ajwain and eugenol (ZNOAE) vs conventionally used zinc oxide eugenol (ZNOE) against endodontic pathogens like and .
Materials And Methods: The pure cultures of (MTCC 443) and (MTCC 439) were revived and grown on selective cultural media. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the test materials were determined correspondingly through sequential dilution and agar well diffusion methods, as per Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines.
Aim And Objectives: The present study was intended to assess the biocompatibility of newly formulated materials such as zinc oxide (ZO) admixed with ajwain oil (A) as well as ajwain eugenol (E) (1:1 ratio) against ZOE through an animal model as root canal obturating materials in deciduous teeth.
Materials And Methods: The study involved randomly selected 24 albino rats, which were divided into three groups based on test materials. Two polyethylene tubes (PETT) (8 mm long × 1 mm internal diameter) were inserted into connective tissues of the dorsal side on either side of each rat empty tube (negative control) and another containing test material (test group).
Aim: To investigate the cariostatic and remineralizing effect of two commercial silver diamine fluoride (SDF) preparations on enamel and dentinal caries using a plaque bacterial model.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-two extracted primary molars were divided into two groups ( = 16) as group I (Advantage Arrest) and group II (e-SDF). Plaque bacterial model was used to induce caries on enamel and dentin.
Aim: To investigate the cariostatic and remineralizing effect of two commercial silver diamine fluoride (SDF) preparations on enamel and dentinal caries using a bacterial plaque model.
Materials And Methods: A total of 32 extracted primary molars were divided into two groups ( = 16), group I (FAgamin), and group II (SDF). Plaque bacterial model was used to induce caries on enamel and dentin.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), Triphala, , and carvacrol on as the most common microorganism isolated from infected root canals.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five mandibular premolar teeth were randomly distributed into five study groups: 5.25% NaOCl, 10% Triphala, 1.
Introduction: Stem cells have unmatched capacity and potential for regeneration and when used alone or in combination with scaffolds to replace or repair damaged cells, can differentiate into any mature cell.
Aim: To evaluate the functional differentiation potential of EMD (Enamel Matrix Derivative), MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) and Biodentine on Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth (SHED).
Objective: To determine functional differentiation potential (osteogenic/odontogenic) of various biomaterials on SHED.
Introduction: Various liquid drug formulations are prescribed to the children. Frequent use of these drugs can result in staining of dental restorations, affecting their longevity and durability.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effect of different pediatric drug formulations on color stability of various esthetic restorative materials.
Introduction: Numerous antimicrobial agents are used to eliminate oral biofilm. However due to emergence of multi drug resistant microorganisms, the quest to find out biologically safe and naturally available antimicrobial agents continues.
Aim: To evaluate antimicrobial efficacy of silver nano-particles against five common oral pathogenic bacteria.
Introduction: Plaque removal is of utmost importance for control of dental caries and other associated diseases of oral cavity. However, various natural agents have proven their efficacy over chemotherapeutic agents in terms of antibacterial activity against various microorganisms. The effect is mainly due to polyphenol as its major constituent.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe purpose of this paper is to describe the case of surgical management of massive compound odontoma with 36 denticles in a 9-year-boy who presented with a complaint of pain and swelling in mandibular left posterior region and retained 74. The denticles were removed after the removal of retained 74 completely and wound healing was observed. Odontomas are considered as hamartomatous dental malformation rather than true neoplasm of odontogenic origin.

This condition is referred to as natal teeth, neonatal teeth, congenital teeth, fetal teeth, predeciduous teeth and dentitia praecox. The most affected teeth are lower primary central incisors with the incidence of 1:2000 for natal and 1:3500 for neonatal teeth.
