An in vitro Comparative Evaluation of Three Remineralizing Agents using Confocal Microscopy.

Introduction: The caries process has been thought to be irreversible, resulting in the permanent loss of tooth substance and eventually the development of a cavity. Recent approaches focused on application of remineralizing agents to incipient carious lesions, aim at controlling demineralization and promoting remineralization. Remineralizing agents create a supersaturated environment around the lesion; thus, preventing mineral loss and forces calcium and phosphate ions in the vacant areas.

Juvenile fibromatosis of the temporomandibular joint: A rare case report.

Fibromatosis is the non-malignant proliferation of fibroblasts that aggressively invade adjacent tissues. It is composed of well-differentiated cells separated by considerable collagen and/or reticulin. The cause of this abundant growth is unknown, but many suspect hormonal or traumatic influences.

Probiotics for future caries control: a short-term clinical study.

Objectives: To compare mutans streptococci levels in saliva, before and after consumption of probiotic ice-cream and curds.

Materials And Methods: Forty caries free children in the age group of 12-14 years were selected and equally divided into four groups I, II, III, IV. Children in group I and II were given 100 ml probiotic ice-cream and plain ice cream respectively and group III and IV were given 100 ml probiotic curd and plain curd respectively for a period of 7 days.

Effect of oral health education and fluoridated dentifrices on the oral health status of visually impaired children.

Unlabelled: Visually impaired children are challenged everyday in their everyday skills. Oral hygiene practices among visually impaired children require a special approach with time and patience. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of oral health education and fluoridated dentifrices on the oral health status of visually impaired children.

Infantile hemiplegia in pediatric dental set-up.

Infantile hemiplegia refers to brain injuries that occur before or at birth and lead to hemiplegia/ total paralysis of one side of the body, including the face, arm and leg. The main purpose of this article is to provide valuable information to pediatric dentists about the review and treatment alternatives for patients with infantile hemiplegia. This article reports the case of a 12-year-old girl with a hemiplegia of left side of the body suffering with tooth ache and gum inflammation.
