A Comparative Evaluation of the Periodontal Ligament Cell Viability Using Placentrex, Propolis, and Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution: An In-Vitro Study.

Background And Objectives: Most of the dento-alveolar trauma that occurs frequently in childhood is often linked to avulsion injuries. Two considerable elements influencing the prognosis of tooth avulsion after replantation are extraoral dry duration and the characteristics of the storage media to support the viability of cells. The study aimed to compare and assess the effectiveness of Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) (HiMedia Laboratories, Thane, India) and Placentrex (Albert David Limited, Kolkata, India) against propolis (5% and 10%) as storage media in preserving the vitality of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells.

Evaluation of Herbal Hair Lotion loaded with Rosemary for Possible Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice.

Background: (rosemary) is a common household plant with needle-like leaves and white flowers that belongs to the family Lamiaceae and has various medicinal properties including ailments of hair and scalp, cardiovascular, nervous disorders, etc., In the current work, we have focused on formulation and evaluation of 1% hair lotion incorporated with methanolic extract of .

Materials And Methods: The aerial parts of the plant were extracted with methanol and then the nature of phytochemicals were identified by chemical tests.

Effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on C-reactive protein and iron indices in hemodialysis patients.

Background And Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on clinical, renal, and hematological parameters at baseline and 3 months postoperatively on chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis. This comparative interventional study was conducted among CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Materials And Methods: This study included chronic periodontitis (CP) patients divided into three groups Group I: CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis for less than a year; Group II: CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis for more than a year; and Group III: systemically healthy CP patients.

Clinico-Histological Evaluation of Dentino-Pulpal Complex of Direct Pulp Capping Agents: A Clinical Study.

Introduction: Direct pulp capping treatment (DPC) maintains pulp vitality by promoting healing or repair in dentistry, which can be attributed to the advent of bioceramic materials.

Aim: This examination looked to evaluate the clinical and histological effectuality of Biodentine with Dycal for DPC.

Materials And Methodology: In this study, 30 intact human orthodontic teeth undergoing therapeutic extraction were chosen to perform DPC.

Christ-Siemens-Touraine Syndrome: A Rare Case Report.

Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome/hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders with primary defects in tissues derived from embryonic ectoderm such as hair, tooth, nail, and sweat glands. To date, more than 192 distinct disorders have been described. Here we present a case of 19-year-old female patient that manifested with HED (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome).

An in vitro Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets after Mouth Rinse.

Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets after mouth rinsing.

Materials And Methods: Sixty orthodontically extracted maxillary premolar teeth were used in the present study. Buccal surfaces of all the teeth were bonded with orthodontic bracket.

Accuracy of Three Shade-matching Devices in Replicating the Shade of Metal Ceramic Restorations: An in vitro Study.

Introduction: In restorative dentistry, the clinician commonly encounters the challenge of replicating the color of natural teeth due to the subjectivity of perceptual evaluation. Recent advances in photography and computing have resulted in the widespread use of the digital camera for color imaging. These instruments can be used effectively for shade matching and communication to yield predictable results.

Influence of erbium, chromium-doped: Yttrium scandium-gallium-garnet laser etching and traditional etching systems on depth of resin penetration in enamel: A confocal laser scanning electron microscope study.

Objective: This study was performed to assess the resin tag length penetration in enamel surface after bonding of brackets to identify which system was most efficient.

Methodology: Our study was based on a more robust confocal microscopy for visualizing the resin tags in enamel. Totally, 100 extracted human first and second premolars have been selected for this study and were randomly divided into ten groups of 10 teeth each.

Quantitative Assessment of Calcium Profile in Whole Saliva From Smokers and Non-Smokers with Chronic Generalized Periodontitis.

Background: Measures of in vivo calcium status are important in understanding the mineralization capacity as it is an essential mineral component of both teeth and bone; and also play a vital role in the lipid profile and hormonal balance.

Aim: To evaluate the existence of any disturbances in calcium metabolism and absorption induced by smoking, by quantitatively assessing the variations in the salivary calcium level between smokers and non-smokers with periodontitis and relating to their periodontal status.

Materials And Methods: A total of 50 male patients were selected and categorized as Group I (smokers with chronic generalized periodontitis) and Group II (non-smoker/ non-tobacco users with chronic generalized periodontitis).
