Identifying Needs and Preparing for Curriculum Changes in Indian Dental Education.

Unlabelled: The aims of dental professional courses are to prepare dental healthcare providers to manage common dental diseases, perform surgeries, and offer prevention. They should also be equipped to understand the needs of the society they are serving and willing to amend their skills. As they are expected to be a part of a team providing health care, they should have the requisite leadership and managerial skills for leading the team to serve its objectives in the best possible way.

Comparative Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Commercially Available Pediatric Dentifrices: An Study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of commercially available pediatric dentifrices containing different compositions against and activity.

Unmasking the rarity of mammary analogue secretory carcinoma of the minor salivary gland - A case report.

Introduction: Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) of the salivary gland was first described by Skálová et al. in 2010. It is often associated with a translocation, t(12;15)(p13;q25), which results in the fusion gene ETV6-NTRK3.

Regeneration of Pulp and Radicular Tissues in a Nonvital Avulsed Tooth with Open Apex: A Case Report.

Aim And Background: The management of avulsed immature teeth poses a significant challenge to clinicians, as prolonged dry time before reimplantation may lead to replacement resorption or ankylosis.

Case Description: Recent studies have shown promising results with the use of an intracanal proprietary pharmaceutical preparation, followed by sealing of the orifice with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Angiography suggested the presence of vascularized tissue after 1 year, indicating successful regeneration of pulpal tissue in the radicular area.

Mpox virus infection in women and outbreak sex disparities: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Although the recent literature indicates that mpox (monkeypox) primarily affects men, there are also multiple reports in women. Estimates of the sex distribution of mpox patients and patterns will enable a better understanding of the ongoing mpox outbreak.

Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, seven databases were searched for studies published in English up to January 4, 2023.

Role of the Stem Cells from Human Deciduous Teeth in Dentistry: A Review.

Stem cells isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth or SHED possess high rate of proliferation along with high osteogenic as well as neurogenic differentiation when compared with dental pulpal stem cells. This stem cell population is an important source for therapeutic regeneration of tissues. Hence, the aim of present review article was to analyze the potential applications of SHED.

Efficiency of Oral Steroids and Steroidal Nasal Spray in Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Comparative Study.

Objective: To assess how well steroidal nasal sprays and oral steroids work for treating CRS.

Methods: Two hundred patients with CRS were included in a randomized controlled experiment. The patients were split into two groups: Group B received steroidal nasal sprays (fluticasone propionate 110 mcg/day in each nostril for 12 weeks) and Group A received oral steroids (prednisolone 30 mg/day for 14 days, followed by tapering over 7 days).

Assessment of the Impact of HPV Infection on the Incidence and Prognosis of Oral Cancers.

Objectives: The purpose of this research was to evaluate, in a tertiary care context, the effects of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection on the incidence and prognosis of oral malignancies.

Methods: At a tertiary care hospital, 100 patients who received an oral cancer diagnosis between 2020 and 2022 were the subject of a retrospective analysis. Medical records were used to gather clinicopathological data, and histopathological specimens' molecular analyses were used to ascertain the HPV infection status.

Comparing Oral Microbiota Changes after Pulpotomy/Pulpectomy in Pediatric Patients.

Background: Pediatric dental procedures like pulpotomy and pulpectomy are commonly performed to treat pulp-related dental issues in primary teeth. The choice of instrumentation, such as traditional rotary instruments or laser technology, can impact the oral microbiota. This study aims to compare the changes in oral microbiota following pulpotomy/pulpectomy in pediatric patients treated with traditional rotary instruments versus laser technology.

Intraoral Scanners: Mechanism, Applications, Advantages, and Limitations.

In recent years, the field of dentistry has witnessed remarkable technological advancements, one of which is the development and widespread implementation of intraoral scanners. These devices have revolutionized the way dental professionals capture accurate impressions of patients' oral cavities, offering several advantages over traditional impression-taking methods. To shed light on the impact of intraoral scanners on dentistry practice, this article explores their mechanism, uses, benefits, and limitations.

Exploring Efficacy and Safety: Comparative Evaluation of Different Irrigation Solutions in Root Canal Therapy at a Tertiary Care Setting.

Background: In order to completely remove bacteria and debris from the root canal system, root canal treatment (RCT) calls for efficient irrigation methods. There is still a lack of research on the relative safety and efficacy of various irrigation systems in tertiary care settings.
