Magnetic Resonance Images for the Prediction of Chronological Age Using Maxillary Third Molar Teeth: An Observational Study.

Introduction: Dental age estimation using third molars is a reliable method for estimating the age of individuals. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head and neck has been found to be applicable for age estimation of third molar teeth. In the present study, we aimed to apply the Modified Demirjian method of age estimation to magnetic resonance (MR) image sections for dental age estimation by determining the mineralization patterns of the maxillary third molars.

In vitro determination of genotoxicity and cytotoxicity induced by stainless steel brackets with and without surface coating in cultures of oral mucosal cells.

Background: Orthodontics is a speciality of dentistry that uses a plethora of devices made from myriad materials to manage various malocclusions. Prolonged contact of orthodontic appliances with oral tissues can lead to cellular damage, highlighting the need for biocompatible materials to mitigate health risks.

Objectives: To analyze the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity produced by metal brackets and coated metallic brackets with polymeric and nanoparticle coatings in oral mucosal cells.

Posteruptive Intracoronal Resorption in a 9-year-old with Molar Incisor Hypomineralization: A Case Report.

Objectives: The case report highlights the management of late-stage sequelae of preeruptive intracoronal resorption (PEIR) with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH).

Materials And Methods: A 9-year-old patient presented with occlusal cavitations in her upper and lower permanent molars with vascularized tissue seen within the dentin, without any connections with the dental pulp, and no evidence of carious activity within the lesion. The affected teeth were debrided, and Biodentine™ was placed to preserve the vital pulp.

Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Human Amniotic Membrane Pulpotomy in Primary Molars: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objectives: To clinically and radiographically compare the outcomes of pulpotomy with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and human amniotic membrane (HAM) in primary molar teeth at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Materials And Methods: The study was a randomized clinical trial with two arms. One arm consisted of participants whose pulpotomy was conducted using MTA, called group I, and the other arm, using HAM, was designated group II.

Synchronous Aberration of the Jugular and Carotid-a Case Report.

Vascular aberrations in the head and neck region pose a grave diagnostic and a surgical challenge. Numerous reports in the literature have highlighted the incidence and the lethality associated with carotid or jugular anomalies signifying the need for awareness and preparedness by the clinicians while treating patients. Our paper reports a peculiar case showing asymptomatic double vessel aberration in relation to the internal jugular vein as an ectasia and carotid kinking in the same patient diagnosed with oral carcinoma.

Mapping the Dental Applications of Nanosilver Fluoride: A Narrative Review.

Unlabelled: Advances in nanotechnology have been changing the face of dentistry with their diverse range of dental applications. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are a relatively new breakthrough in dentistry.

Aim: The main objective of this paper is to discuss the current progress in the field of dentistry and highlight the aspects regarding silver nanoparticle incorporation, emphasizing the properties, applications, and advantages of nanosilver fluoride (NSF) that it brings to dentistry.

An Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of a New Dual-cure, Universal, Bioactive Luting Cement.

Aim And Background: The aim of this study was to determine the properties of a new luting cement, BioCem®, by evaluating shear bond strength (SBS) and flexural strength (FS).

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 extracted deciduous molars were included in this study. Samples were divided into two groups: Group I, Fuji I® ( = 30), and group II, BioCem® ( = 30).

Esthetic preferences of orthodontists, general dentists, and laypersons for Indian facial profiles: A cross-sectional study.

Disparity in the esthetic perceptions between a patient and clinician could result in patient dissatisfaction with orthodontic treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare the perceptions of a group of orthodontists, general dentists, and laypersons about the attractiveness of Indian facial profiles. In this study, a male and a female participants' photographs and lateral cephalograms were digitally manipulated by inserting them into Dolphin software; we considered four soft tissue parameters at a nasolabial angle, upper lip E-line, lower lip E-line, and pg-pg', so that 20 profiles were created for each model.

Root canal irrigants effect on the compressive strength and calcium ion release of Biodentine.

Compressive strength and calcium ion release are integral properties of Biodentine for its enhanced efficiency. The present study evaluated the effects of Dual Rinse HEDP (DR HEDP), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the calcium ion release and compressive strength of Biodentine. Eighty Biodentine specimens were moulded and randomly divided into four groups (n = 20).

Comparative Assessment of Antimicrobial Activity of Propolis and Chlorhexidine on Salivary Isolates of and in Children with Severe Early Childhood Caries: An Study.
