Linking periodontal pathogens with endoperio lesions.

Endodontic-periodontal diseases pose difficulties for the practitioner in diagnosing and predicting the success of the affected teeth. Therefore, it is of interest to correlate between periodontal infections and endodontic periodontal disorders. 50 patients of both sexes were included in this study.

Diagnosis of Vertucci Type VII Anatomy in the Mandibular Left Lateral Incisor Using Digital Radiography: An Ex Vivo Case Study.

Mandibular lateral incisors sometimes feature an additional lingual canal, which, if not identified and missed during endodontic treatment, can lead to postoperative pain. Thus, a proper diagnosis of the internal anatomy of a tooth is necessary before treatment begins. Radiovisiography (RVG), a cost-effective and widely employed dental imaging technique, is used in clinics to visualize the internal root structure of teeth.

Reinforcement of the Maxillary First Premolar With Bayonet-Shaped Radicular Anatomy: A Challenging Case.

This is a unique case of a single-rooted maxillary premolar with two separate canals in bayonet or S-shaped radicular anatomy undergoing post-endodontic reinforcement prior to crown placement. Bayonet-shaped canals present challenges in canal negotiation, cleaning, shaping, and obturation. The complexity of these canals heightens the risk of accidental file breakage and other iatrogenic errors, posing significant challenges.

Bluff Indicators in Medical and Dental Tele-Consultation: A Review.

The global lockdowns have resulted in the popularisation of tele-consultation. Also the anxiety about dental visits and hospital-acquired infections in patients and incidences of dishonesty are increased. Tele-consultation includes patient data collected on phone calls, text messages, and video calls.

An Study to Compare the Shear Bond Strength of Metal and Ceramic Brackets Using Conventional Acid Etch and Self-Etch Primer.

Aim: In this, study's objective is to assess the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal and ceramic orthodontic brackets that have been adhered to enamel using a conventional acid etch/primer and self-etching primer (SEP) adhesive method.

Materials And Methods: One hundred excised human premolars were bonded on brackets and were divided into group 1 -Metal brackets were bonded on teeth and group 2 -Ceramic brackets were bonded on teeth. These two groups were further subdivided: subgroup 1a - 25 metal brackets bonded using conventional acid etch/primer adhesive system, subgroup 1b - 25 metal brackets bonded using SEP, subgroup 2a - 25 ceramic brackets bonded using conventional acid etch/primer adhesive system, and subgroup 2b - 25 ceramic brackets bonded using SEP; brackets were debonded using a computerized Instron universal testing machine.

Endodontic Treatment for a Mesiodens: A Case Report.

Mesiodens are common supernumerary teeth that prominently erupt in the midline between the maxillary central incisors. If two or more mesiodens are present, they are termed mesiodentes, indicating the presence of multiple supernumerary teeth in the midline. These often cause aesthetic disharmony in the anterior teeth due to their abnormal position, leading to extraction in most cases and resulting in midline diastema when impacted or partially erupted.

Adjacent Implant Influence on Tooth Restoration in a Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Patient Using Monoblock Post-Fused Crown: A Case Report.

This case report explores how the presence of an adjacent implant influenced the restoration of a tooth with pulpitis in a gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) patient. A patient with GERD requires a tooth-colored crown not only for aesthetics but also to address potential galvanic concerns arising from an adjacent implant. GERD, a condition causing non-cavity erosion, weakens tooth structure over time, presenting significant challenges in treatment.

Morphological Variation of Mandibular Molars in Rohilkhand Population: An Original Research.

Introduction: In-depth knowledge of common and aberrant pulp morphology is essential for appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning before commencing root canal treatment. The radicular morphology of mandibular molars has been extensively studied. Considerable variation in the number of canals and roots found in these teeth has been reported.

Management of Apical Third Root Fractures in Radiculomegaly of Mandibular Anterior Teeth: A Rare Case Report.

In this case report, two uncommon fractures of the root located at the apex of the mandibular anterior teeth region were successfully treated and preserved using non-surgical endodontic procedures. These teeth possess a unique size, characterized by the presence of exceptionally elongated lateral incisors measuring approximately 29 mm, central incisors measuring approximately 25 mm, and canines measuring approximately 30 mm. For the lower left central incisor, the root canal was carefully navigated to the coronal fragment, whereas the apical fragment was left undisturbed and preserved.

Oral load among Indian children with cerebral palsy.

The motor impairments of cerebral palsy (CP) are typically accompanied by subsequent musculoskeletal issues, seizures, and abnormalities of sensation, intelligence, communication, and behaviour. These kids have a lower capacity for regulating oral health because of their poor voluntary movements. Poor oral hygiene brought on by insufficient brushing and flossing, increased use of sugary foods, and orally administered drugs puts people at risk for periodontal disorders and dental caries.

A review on accelerated orthodontics.

When the duration of orthodontic treatment is shortened, the patient may have a number of benefits, including an increase in the number of dental cavities, root resorption, and gingival irritation, all of which are associated to a higher degree of decalcification. In addition to drugs, magnets, and other therapies, they include surgical methods (corticotomies, piezosurgery), mechanical/physical stimulation techniques (vibration, lasers), and other forms of therapy. These methods, each of which has been validated by extensive research, have been shown to reduce treatment times.

Quality of Life of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients before and after Primary Treatment.

Background: HNSCC (head and neck squamous cell carcinoma) is a serious global health problem, with estimated more than 550,000 new cases and 300,000 deaths annually. More than 90% of these malignancies are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
