The quality of a radiograph depicted by geometric and visual characteristics, in turn also depends on the quality of image receptors. Image receptors in dentistry have seen an enormous evolution trend from conventional x-ray films to the current generation of digital image receptors. The development of cost-effective image receptors is established in various types of imaging procedures. The current article provides an insight into the image receptors used in dental radiology.

Fluoride compounds are incorporated as anticariogenic agents in numerous restorative materials. Incorporation of fluoride into restorative materials impart anticariogenic character by various mechanisms including reduction of demineralisation, enhancement of remineralisation, interference of pellicle and plaque and inhibition of microbial growth and metabolism. In addition, the application of the topical fluoride in the form of toothpaste and varnish is also considered as the most effective method of caries prevention. The fluoride combines with HA of the tooth and forms an acid-resistant fluorapatite (FAP) crystals. Also, fluoride enters into the cells of the bacteria and inhibits carbohydrate metabolism, which eventually kills the bacteria. The objective of this review was to emphasise the fluoride-releasing restorative materials available in dentistry.

“Mineral trioxide aggregate” is a cementitious material, which is popular by its trade name MTA. It was first introduced in the year 1993 by Mohmoud Torabinejad at Loma Linda University in California, USA. MTA is a powder mixture of Portland cement clinker, bismuth oxide, and gypsum. It has gained a lot of importance in dentistry in recent years. This importance is because of its extensive use as apical restorative material as well as a medicament for Apexogenesis and Apexification treatment. As it sets by hydration process, the byproducts of insoluble calcium silicate hydrate and alkaline calcium hydroxide offer unique stability and potential to enhance hard tissue regeneration. This article reviewed the composition, types, properties of MTA and also its applications in the practice of dentistry.

Feeding a new born baby with complete cleft lip and palate is a problematic pursuit because of the communication between the oral cavity and the nasal cavity. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to manage the complex problems involved in the case of such neonates and their families. The present case is of a 6-day-old neonate having complete right unilateral cleft lip and palate (Veau class C) for which palatal obturator was constructed. In this case report a stepwise simple, secure, and uncomplicated procedure for making accurate impressions, maxillary cast, and fabrication of palatal obturator in infants with cleft lip and palate have been presented.

“In right light at right time everything is extraordinary”- says Aaron Rose. This is very true with respect to lasers. Discovery of lasers from the spectrum of light has revolutionized the technology in many fields. The word “LASER” means Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. They offer many useful clinical applications for general dentists in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. There are many clinical, aesthetic, and psychological reasons to use lasers. Herein we present a brief overview of “THE AMAZING SPECTRUM OF LIGHT”

Titanium (Ti) is the most widely used biomaterial for dental implants as it exhibits excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The biocompatibility of titanium is related to thin, protective surface titanium dioxide (TiO2) layer, which forms a boundary at the implant-biological medium interface, reducing its reactivity with the surrounding biological environment and prevents corrosion. However, the metallic materials used as implants are susceptible to corrosion due to variations in the internal electrolyte environment. The surface oxide layer can be destroyed during insertion of implant or micro-motion between implant and bone under loading conditions. The localized destruction causes corrosion of the implant and induces leak of metallic particles or ions into surrounding tissues. The presence of metallic particles in peri-implant soft and hard tissues may be due to frictional wear or corrosion, or simultaneous occurrence wear and corrosion which is known as tribocorrosion. The released metal ions may remain in the intercellular spaces near the site where they were released or may be taken up by macrophages, or they can migrate systemically. This review article highlights various aspects of corrosion, biological response to corrosion products and prevention of corrosion of titanium dental implants.

Orthodontic treatment has undergone a drastic transformation for a few years. Many patients present with a set of challenges to orthodontists in terms of esthetics while undergoing orthodontic treatment. The introduction of composite & ceramic brackets has led to the development of esthetic archwires to meet the increased demand for esthetics during orthodontic treatment. This article discusses various widely used esthetic archwires used in orthodontic treatment.

From the past, there has been a lot of use of the bonding agents in restorative dentistry. Choosing of bonding systems has become a challenge for the clinicians as there was a lot of advances regarding the usage of bonding agents. Each successive modification in the formulae has led to the classification of the bonding system into many “generations”. During the past few years, these bonding agents have been replaced by the same systems that are used on dentin. This change occurred because of the benefit of bonding resin to both enamel and dentin. Extensive research is still on the way to develop the best adhesive system that can produce reliable and permanent bonds to dentin.

Alginate is an elastic irreversible hydrocolloid which has various applications in dentistry. The applications of alginates include making impressions of edentulous and partially edentulous arches, duplication of casts, and for making study models. Alginates possesses numerous vital properties such as hydrophilicity, ability to record finer details, elastic recovery and inexpensive; makes this material widely used in dentistry. Though alginate is the most commonly used impression material, it has some inherent disadvantages. Alginates contain low-density fine filler particles, which may arise in the form of dust and inhalation these dust particles may cause respiratory problems. Further, they are highly dimensionally unstable due to syneresis & imbibition. Besides, alginates do not adhere to non-perforated trays, low viscosity resulting in gag reflex in some patients, and the inability to identify the correct consistency to load. Several modifications were made in the composition of conventional alginates to address their shortcomings. This article reviewed various recent advances in the alginate impression materials and their performance.

Composite resins are widely used aesthetic materials in restorative dentistry. These materials were introduced to overcome the inherent shortcomings of amalgam restorative materials. Dental amalgams are unesthetic and toxic. Earlier composites lack in mechanical properties to withstand the masticatory forces. Various filler particles have been added to composite resins to improve their physical and mechanical properties. Filled composite resins exhibit high compressive strength, abrasion resistance, ease of application and high translucency. Depending on the filler size and shapes, various composites have been developed until now. This article is a review of numerous types of composites that are technologically advanced to modify their properties.
