Response of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) to three bioinductive materials - An in vitro experimental study.

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.

Effect of different pediatric drug formulations on color stability of composite, zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer cement, and glass ionomer cement.

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.

In vitro evaluation of antimicrobial property of silver nanoparticles and chlorhexidine against five different oral pathogenic bacteria.

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.

Evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy of (Ajwain) oil and chlorhexidine against oral bacteria: An study.

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.

Management of a massive compound odontoma in a 9-year child.

The 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.

Natal teeth in premature dizygotic twin girls.

Presence or eruption of teeth immediately at or after birth is a rarely reported phenomenon. 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.

Two distinct pathways for metabolism of theophylline and caffeine are coexpressed in Pseudomonas putida CBB5.

Pseudomonas putida CBB5 was isolated from soil by enrichment on caffeine. This strain used not only caffeine, theobromine, paraxanthine, and 7-methylxanthine as sole carbon and nitrogen sources but also theophylline and 3-methylxanthine. Analyses of metabolites in spent media and resting cell suspensions confirmed that CBB5 initially N demethylated theophylline via a hitherto unreported pathway to 1- and 3-methylxanthines.
