Comparative Evaluation of Effectiveness of Nisin, Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid (Augmentin) and Chlorhexidine on E. Faecalis as an Intracanal Irrigant: An Study.

Aim: The present study evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), Nisin, and Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid (Augmentin) as an intracanal irrigant against Enterococcus faecalis (EF).

Materials And Methods: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for EF against Nisin and Augmentin was determined by microbroth dilution technique. Time kill cycle (TKC) analysis was done for 0 MIC, ½ MIC, 1 MIC, and 2 MIC at 0 hour, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes.

A Comparative Evaluation of Efficacy of Various Obturating Techniques for the Presence of Voids.

Aim: Evaluation of the efficacy of different obturating techniques and assessment of the presence of voids in different regions of the canal.

Materials And Methods: Sixty permanent single-rooted teeth with complete, mature root apices without any anatomic variation having straight patent root canals were included in the present study. Access cavity preparation followed by biomechanical preparation was done.

Comparative evaluation of the efficacy of light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation, desensitizing agents, and their combined effect on dentinal hypersensitivity in cuspids and bicuspids - Study.

Context: Dentinal Hypersensitivity is the most common dental problem, in order to find a suitable treatment plan this study was conducted incorporating LASER and desensitizing agents on the patients complaining of dentinal hypersensitivity in cuspids and bicuspids. Most of the desensitizing agents provided incomplete relief hence the combination of LASER and Desensitizing agents proved to be successful.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of individual desensitizing agents and c (LASER) and also to know their potential in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity when both desensitizing agents and LASER are combined together and applied on cuspids and bicuspids.

Clinicoradiographic Evaluation of Long-term Efficacy and Risk Factors Associated with Dental Implants used for Full Mouth Rehabilitation.

Background: Despite various complications and failure factors, newer implants are designed that allow placement in sub-optimal conditions to allow the operator to place implants at sites with low bone quality. These newer designs also allow improved stability with higher survival rates in the short term.

Aims: The present study was undertaken to evaluate long-term efficacy and risk factors associated with dental implant placement for full mouth rehabilitation.

Assessment of Oral Health-related Quality of Life in Patients Suffering from Systemic Diseases.

Aim: To assess the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among children suffering from congestive heart failure and bronchial asthma in Lucknow city.

Materials And Method: Methodology: Patients aged 6-12 years were assessed using Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ). DMFT was assessed in same patients to measure their caries experience.

Cone-beam Computed Tomographic Evaluation of the Anatomical Changes of Temporomandibular Joint Use of Pre-post Dentures: A Time-control Study.

Aim And Objective: The growth of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) gets affected by multiple factors like aging, occlusion state, and by the movement of the jaw while masticating and swallowing. Radiographic imaging is often utilized as a vital diagnostic adjunct in the evaluation of certain examinations of the TMJ.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 30 male participants with mean age 55 years, having edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches from the Outpatient Department of Prosthodontics, were randomly selected.

Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma: Case report with review of literature.

Occurrence of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma within the jaw bones from aberrant salivary tissues is extremely rare and accounts for 2%-4% of all central mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Mandible is more commonly affected than maxilla in a ratio of 2:1. The origin of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is controversial and questionable.

Effect of Trauma to Primary Tooth on Permanent Maxillary Incisors: A Clinical Case Report.

Trauma to primary tooth leads to abnormal variations in crown and root canals of permanent teeth that presents a challenge in diagnosis and clinical management to the practitioner. This article presents a detailed case report of the endodontic treatment of a three canalled maxillary central incisor and maxillary lateral incisor having single canal with open apex linked with periodontal defect. Root canals were prepared with hand files and canals were irrigated with 2.

Origin of ameloblastoma from Basal cells of the oral epithelium- establishing the relation using neuroectodermal markers.

Background And Objectives: Basal cell layer of the oral epithelium has been rightfully regarded as a potential source of odontogenic tumours and cysts, but, without substantial evidence. Also, whether the basal cell layer retains within it, some properties of ectomesenchyme, which was imbibed during the early embryogenesis and hence its neuroectodermal relation, is not known. Here, an attempt is made to establish the hidden neuroectodermal potential of the oral epithelium, especially the basal layer, by observing the expression of known neuroectodermal markers, NSE (Neuron Specific Enolase), Synaptophysin and CD99.

Estimation of serum β2-microglobulin in potentially malignant disorders and squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity: A clinicopathological study.

Background: Tumor markers are substances, which quantitatively changes in serum, during the tumor development, one such tumor marker is serum β2-microglobulin (β2-m). The aim of this study was to establish the role of β2-m as a biochemical parameter for diagnosis and prognosis of oral carcinoma by estimation of serum β2-m levels in potentially malignant lesions, conditions, and oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Materials And Methods: The study was carried out on 48 subjects (16 control, 8 oral submucous fibrosis, 8 oral leukoplakia, and 16 oral squamous cell carcinoma patients of different stages), conducted at department of Oral Medicine, Kothiwal Dental College, Moradabad, India.
