Abstract- Background- Color is the important property for the restorative materials to have long-term durability in the oral cavity. Color is important in aesthetics, characterizing and personalizing a smile. Aim- The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of five commercially available mouthrinses (Listerine, Colgate plax, Clohex Plus, Orahex Plus and Senquel-AD) on color stability of three different resin-based composite restorative materials. Material and Methods - A custom made stainless steel split mold was used for fabrication of forty-eight samples of each composite resin material (Durafill VS, Z100, Filtek Z350 XT). The samples were immersed in distilled water after curing for 24 hours. Baseline measurements for Color stability were taken. After that, each group was immersed in 20 ml of assigned mouthrinse solutions and incubated at 37° C for 24 hours. The samples were resubjected to Color stability tests. The change in color difference was calculated. Statistical analysis- Result- The results revealed that all mouthrinses tested changed the color of the composite resins. Conclusions- It may be concluded that the effect was both mouthrinse and material dependent.

Traumatic fibroma is a benign exophytic and reactive oral lesion that develops secondary to repetitive trauma or irritation. Most commonly affected sites are tongue, buccal mucosa, and lower labial mucosa. These are well demarcated, smooth, pedunculated or sessile, exophytic lesions which are similar to the surrounding mucosa in color. Generally, it is non-tender but local irritation may lead to painful ulceration. Treatment plan includes complete excision and removal of the cause of irritation. Excision can be done by scalpel, electrocautery or Laser. The excision of the fibroma with diode laser is a safe procedure, with minimum postoperative discomfort and complications. Recurrences are rare but may occur due to repetitive trauma at the same site.

The Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Bill 2007 reiterates the concerns of the Working Group in its statement of objects and reasons. This is an Act that is proposed to be brought into force to streamline the functioning and provision of services by clinical establishments. Importantly, it is a matter that regulates not just allopathic facilities, but also clinical establishments that provide services in a range of Indian systems of medicine. The relevance of this enactment lies in the fact that there has been an increasing concern about the gross inadequacy of public health facilities on the one side and the lack of any standards to regulate the existing facilities – both public and private – on the other.

A teacher's efforts to educate and inculcating clinical skills help students developing their human intelligence and skills that would be applicable in their future clinical practice. This is particularly in valuable in the field of medicine and dentistry where students apply learned humans kills, on a suffering human, to reach appropriate diagnosis through thorough history taking, examinations, provisional diagnosis, investigations. Skill development, therefore, is a gradual process guided and trained by experienced and learned teachers in academics. Dentistry is the field where each tooth might have separate diagnosis, which in turn increases the consumption of time and accuracy of diagnosis becomes debatable.

For orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning there are various ways to assess the jaw discrepencies. Using various parameters such as ANB, Wit’s appraisal, Beta, Yen, and W angles, with some limitations. To overcome these, MKG angle and Tau angle were proposed. Aim and objective: The present study assesses the predictability of MKG and Tau angle and its correlation with previous parameter. Materials and methods: A total of 105 lateral cephalograms were selected. Samples were divided into, Class I, Class II and Class III based on ANB angle. WITS appraisal, Beta angle, Yen angle, W angle, MKG angle and Tau angle were also measured. Kruskal-wallis test, followed by post hoc tuckey analysis and correlation coefficient analysis were done to assess the significance of association between these parameters. Results: Tau angle and Beta angle were noted to be most predictable for differentiating Class I, Class II and Class III, MKG angle was found to be less predictable for differentiating samples. Conclusion: Tau angle can be used along with ANB and Beta angle for assessing sagittal jaw relationship.

Treatment of intrabony defects is always a difficult task to manage for a periodontist. Various problems have been encountered like black triangle, increased food lodgement, plaque accumulation and ultimately failure of procedure were experienced. Thus more conservative approaches like papilla preservation flaps and Non-incised Papillae surgical approaches are preferred. But due to drawbacks of existent techniques there was an introduction of novel surgical technique, the Entire Papilla preservation Flap (EPPF). The present case report is a detailed description of treatment of vertical intrabony defect using EPPF technique, bone graft and titanium platelet rich fibrin membrane with 9 months follow up.

A universal public health issue that affects 60% to 90% of people worldwide is dental caries, especially in youngsters. Dental caries is a cyclical event with phases of demineralization and remineralization in addition to being a continuous and unidirectional process of the demineralization of the mineral. Cavitation results from an overbalance in the demineralization process. While remineralization is the process of increasing ion deposition into crystal gaps in demineralized enamel to achieve net mineral gain, it is defined as the supply of calcium and phosphate ions from a source external to the tooth surface. Despite the fact that many other therapies have been tried in recent years to treat early enamel carious lesions, fluorides have emerged as the most popular remineralizing agent due to their superior cariostatic efficacy and affordability. Alternative preparations with additional benefits would be of interest because currently available topical fluorides require patient participation and several treatments over the course of a year.

Introduction: Gingival recession defects in the esthetic zone demands a concurrent correction of all the involved teeth in a single surgery. Wound healing is a complex phenomenon and the concurrent use of collagen membrane and Injectable Platelet rich fibrin (I-PRF) will greatly enhance the process. Thus the aim of this case report is to evaluate the effectiveness of Coronally advanced flap (CAF) with collagen and I-PRF in the management of gingival recession management. There was 90% mean root coverage and good patient esthetic satisfaction. Thus CAF with collagen and PRF is an effective treatment modality in the management of multiple gingival recessions.

Aims and objective: Precise reproduction of the intra-oral spatial relationship of implants with an impression becomes the first step in achieving an accurate, passively fitting prosthesis. This in vitro study aims to compare the dimensional accuracy of dental implants in casts obtained from open tray splinted implant impression techniques using two different splinting materials. Methods and Material: A mandibular acrylic model with four implant analogues was used as a reference model. Open tray impression copings were attached to the implant analogues and were splinted using two different materials. Group I-splinted with pattern resin, sectioned and re-joined and Group II- splinted with light cure tray material. Eight polyether impressions were made for each group and poured in type IV dental stone. The casts retrieved from each group were three-dimensionally analysed using coordinate measuring machine with 0.001 mm accuracy. A one-way ANOVA and post hoc test was done to calculate the statistically significant difference between the groups. Results: The present study revealed no significant difference in the inter-implant distances obtained from pattern resin splinted group, whereas, significant difference in z-axis was found in light polymerising tray resin splinted group when compared to the values obtained from the reference model. Conclusions: Casts obtained from splinting the impression copings using pattern resin before making implant impression were found to be more accurate than splinting with light cure tray material.
