Background: This procedure, known as root canal treatment, is widely used in modern dental care. Modern endodontics frequently includes the introduction of many modern devices, materials, and methods, and yet it is one of the fastest-expanding fields in everyday clinical practice. Root canal fillings, coronal restorations, and the dentist's own knowledge, attitude, and expertise all have a role in the success of endodontic therapy, which is why it is important to maintain these high standards. Aim and Objectives: This study's objectives were similar to those of the aforementioned audit to collect data on the various approaches, specific and regular strategies, materials, and attitudes utilized by both general dental specialists and endodontists during root trench treatment, to analyze these choices in depth, and to disseminate endodontic treatment standards to evaluate the state of current practice and make adjustments as necessary. Methodology: The materials and techniques used by general dentists during root canal treatment were the subjects of a survey. Before the research itself could begin, a questionnaire had to be created and tested in advance. Results: The current study's findings provide light on the mindsets, strategies, supplies, and procedures used by dentists during root canal treatment. In the field of health-care evaluation, the survey questionnaire is a frequent tool. In this investigation, data were acquired by interviewing dentists in person and writing down their responses, a method that ultimately helped eliminate bias. Conclusion: Using the tried-and-true method of positioning the apical stop 1 mm from the radiographic apex, most dentists today continue to do so. The trend toward doing root canal treatment in a single office visit applies to all patient types. As a remarkable characteristic, both types of responders made very little use of rubber dams for isolation purposes during endodontic treatment.

Periodontal tissues can be destructed by chronic periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss. In support of the treatment for periodontally diseased tooth, various biomaterials have been applied starting as a contact inhibition membrane in the guided tissue regeneration that is the current gold standard in dental clinic. Recently, various biomaterials have been prepared in a form of tissue engineering scaffold to facilitate the regeneration of damaged periodontal tissues. From a physical substrate to support healing of a single type of periodontal tissue to multiphase/bioactive scaffold system to guide an integrated regeneration of periodontium, technologies for scaffold fabrication have emerged in the last years. This review covers the recent advancements in development of scaffolds designed for periodontal tissue regeneration and their efficacy tested in vitro and in vivo.

Background: In endodontics, dentist's choice for using posts/materials relevant to posts used to restore endodontic-treated teeth is influenced by clinical experience, whether concerning the length of practice time and level of specialization. Objective: Traditional restorative approaches are being modified as newer materials become available and patient preferences shift. The purpose of the study was to see if dentists' preferences for using posts and other materials associated to post used to restore endodontically treated teeth are influenced by practical experience, whether measured by the length of clinical practice time or level of specialty. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted with dentists (n = 100) working in Karnataka utilizing a questionnaire. Data on sociodemographics, clinical experience, postgraduate training, and postendodontic restoration characteristics (posts/types of cement and rubber dam application) were obtained. The samples only included general and specialist dentists. A descriptive analysis was performed on the data. The Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test investigated the relationships. Results: The most chosen materials were metal posts (60%) and resin cement (70%). There was a statistically significant association between clinical practice duration and postuse type (P = 0.017). In addition, there was a highly significant relationship (P = 0.001) between clinical practice time, level of specialty, and the use of rubber dams. Conclusions: Dentists favored metal posts for post endodontic restorations, while resin-based cement was the preferred luting cement for the posts' cementation. Additional training and more clinical practice time were factors in several dental postselection decisions.

Pyogenic granuloma is a commonly occurring inflammatory hyperplasia of the skin and oral mucosa in females. It is a misnomer that is characterized histologically by angiomatous proliferation rather than a granulomatous lesion. This tumor-like growth is considered to be nonneoplastic in nature and has a varied clinical presentation. We present one such case of pyogenic granuloma, which was excised with a diode laser along with a relevant review of the literature.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of pit and fissure sealant with and without deproteinization with agents such as 5% NaOCl, papain gel, and bromelain gel. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, 60 premolar teeth were divided into four groups of 15 teeth each. In control Group 1, enamel was etched for 60 s with 37% phosphoric acid and rinsed with water. In Group 2, deproteinizing agent 5% sodium hypochlorite was applied for 60 s before acid etching. In Group 3, deproteinizing agent papain gel was applied for 60 s before acid etching. In Group 4, deproteinizing agent bromelain gel was applied for 60 s before acid etching. Following this, Clinpro™ 3M™ ESPE™ pit and fissure sealant disc was built on the enamel buccal surface of each tooth. Samples were then tested for SBS using Universal Testing Machine after storage in distilled water for 24 h. Results: The mean SBS was highest for Group 4 and lowest for Group 1. SBS was significantly higher in the bromelain gel group, followed by the papain gel group (P < 0.001), 5% NaOCl group (P < 0.001), and control group (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Among deproteinizing agents, deproteinization when carried out with bromelain gel showed effective bond strength and lowest for the control group.

Endo–perio lesions are a common finding in dental practice. Progression of an endodontic lesion, if allowed leads to periodontal involvement or vice versa. This is a case series of two cases of the endodontic lesion with periodontal involvement that has been treated by performing root canal treatment followed by flap surgery. The tooth was first endodontically treated that was followed by periodontal treatment. Six months postoperatively, there was a significant gain in clinical attachment level. Radiographically, there was a significant amount of bone fill observed.

The canine is diagnosed as impacted when its normal eruption time is significantly exceeded compared to the contralateral canine or the premolars. This case report presents, a female patient 14 years old with bilaterally impacted maxillary canines, retained maxillary deciduous canines, and proclination and spacing of the upper and lower anteriors and peg laterals. The treatment objective was to create a more ideal overjet and overbite relationship, place the impacted canines into position, and improve facial profile. Fixed orthodontic treatment was done with PEA “0.022 × 0.028” ORMCO, MBT prescription. After leveling, aligning, and space closure, extraction of bilaterally retained deciduous canines and autotransplantation of the unfavorably impacted canines were done. To enhance esthetics, composite restoration was done on the peg laterals. The total treatment time was 2 ½ years and the treatment objectives were achieved due to excellent patient cooperation. Facial harmony was good, and proclination and spacing were corrected.

Aim: To evaluate the pulp tissue dissolution, antimicrobial action, and smear layer removal using an experimental irrigant combining Salvadora persica and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) with and without ultrasonic activation in comparison to standard irrigation protocol of NaOCl and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) with and without ultrasonic activation. Materials and Methods: Pulp tissue dissolution - Pulp tissue weighing 0.9 g was dissolved in each experimental Group G1: 5 ml of 5% NaOCl, G2: G1 + ultrasonic activation, G3: 5 ml 5% NaOCl + 40% S. persica, G4: G3 + ultrasonic activation and weighed after 1, 5, and 10 min. The difference in weight of the tissue sample was assessed. Smear layer removal and calcium/phosphate (Ca/PO4) ratio - G1: 5 ml of 5% NaOCl, saline, 1 ml of 17% EDTA, G2: G1 + ultrasonic activation, saline, 17% EDTA, G3: 5 ml 5% NaOCl + 40% S. persica G4: G3 + ultrasonic activation. Each tooth was then split longitudinally and subjected to scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) analysis. Antibacterial Activity- assessed against Enterococcus Faecalis. Statistical Analysis: SEM, pulp tissue dissolution and antimicrobial efficacy – Kruskal–Wallis and post hoc Mann–Whitney EDX – ANOVA and Tukey's honestly significant difference post hoc analysis. Results: Pulp dissolution by G3 and G4 was better. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (P > 0.05). Experimental combination performed better in terms of smear layer removal, showed higher amount Ca/PO4 in EDX analysis, but the difference was not statistically significant between the groups (P > 0.05). G2 showed maximum antimicrobial efficacy compared to all groups but not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The combined formulation of 5% NaOCl + 40% S. Persica was as effective as conventional protocol and ultrasonic activation improved its efficacy.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate levels of oral health knowledge of periodontal disease among nondental university students. Materials and Methods: One hundred university students (mean age 20.1 years ± 2.5) were recruited into this study. The participants completed a structured questionnaire during a personal interview. The questionnaire consisted of items to assess participants' personal data (age, gender, level of study, and specialty) and oral heath knowledge related to periodontal disease. Statistical significance was based on probability values of <0.05. Results: Participants showed poor knowledge of causes, signs, symptoms, and preventive measures of gum disease. Only 49% of first-year and 60% of final-year students said yes as an answer. The level of the study had no relationship with students' knowledge of the initiating factors of periodontal disease but had a significant relationship with the knowledge of periodontal disease's signs, preventive measures, and relations to general health and systemic disease. Students from scientific disciplines had more knowledge of periodontal disease's causes, preventive measures, and relations to general health and systemic disease than those from humanity disciplines. Conclusions: There were significant differences in oral health knowledge regarding periodontal disease between students from different levels of studies and different disciplines.

Aim and Objectives of the Study: The aim of the study was to assess the oral health status and treatment needs among Group D workers of four government hospitals in Bengaluru and the objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal health status, oral mucosal lesions, and treatment needs and to know the possible relationship between low socioeconomic status and this particular occupation with oral health status. Materials and Methodology: A total of 800 Group D workers were examined according to the WHO Basic Oral Health Survey Assessment Form 1997, and the required data were collected in a prepared format consisting of sociodemographic details, habits, oral hygiene practices, and few questions to assess their knowledge and awareness. The oral cavity of the workers was examined using CPI probe and mouth mirror plane. Results: About 283 (35.4%) workers had one or the other forms of oral mucosal lesions of these, majority (102; 12.8%) had Chewer's mucosa, 67 (8.4%) had smoker's melanosis, 58 (7.3%) had leukedema, 27 (3.4%) had leukoplakia, 17 (2.1%) had oral submucous fibrosis, 8 (1%) had smoker's palate, and 2 (0.3%) had lichen planus. Conclusion: The present study concludes that there is a strong relationship between poor oral health status and higher treatment needs with the low social class, low educational levels, and occupation.
