Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of second mesiobuccal canal in maxillary first and second molars. Materials and Methods: Maxillary fifty first molars and fifty second molars were collected and embedded into plaster blocks. The teeth were photographed digitally from the occlusal aspect using a stereomicroscope under standard (×8) magnification. The occlusal portions of crowns were then sectioned at cement–enamel junction with slow-speed diamond disk. To gain straight line visibility, overhung dentin over the canal orifices was removed with safe-tip diamond bur. Once again, the teeth were photographed from their occlusal aspect under the same magnification and exposure conditions. Results: MB2 canals were detected 76% and 64% in first and second molars, respectively.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the crestal bone level between alumina-blasted/acid-etched (AB/AE) surface-treated implant and calcium phosphate surface-treated implant” based on the radiological examination. Materials and Methods: An in vivo study was undertaken to evaluate the crestal bone loss on mesial and distal aspects of implants categorized into two groups with different surface treatments, Group A: AB/AE surface-treated implant and Group B: calcium phosphate surface-treated implant using standardized intraoral periapical at three different intervals, i.e., immediately after implant placement, at the end of 3, and 6 months after placing the implants. Statistical tests used were Student's unpaired t-test and ANOVA. Results: The bone loss was measured, and values were recorded immediately after implant placement, 3, and 6 months of placement. Conclusions: The use of calcium phosphate surface-treated implants minimizes crestal bone loss compared to AB/AE. This may increase the longevity of implants.

Marginal gingival recession is a typical source of worry, especially when it occurs in the anterior teeth as a result of functional and esthetic issues. Recession can cause esthetic degeneration, dentin hypersensitivity, and the inability to undertake regular oral hygiene practices. Gingival recession problems have been treated with a variety of surgical procedures. This article discusses a case where the lateral pedicle technique was used to successfully cover the root of a single tooth. The soft tissue next to the recession is positioned over the defect in this approach. This resulted in a periodontium that was both esthetically and functionally healthy, as well as positive patient acceptability. A clinically substantial level of root coverage was achieved as a result of this operation.

Background: The use of plant extracts, as well as other alternative forms of medical treatments, is enjoying great popularity since late 1990s. Scientists from all over the have found literally thousands of phytochemicals which have inhibitory effects on all types of microorganisms in vitro. Moreover, there are the reports of potential hazards and microbial resistance against the commonly used antibiotics. Aim: The objective of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of various concentrations of nonalcoholic extracts of crude coconut shell oil, orange peel, and mango leaf with that of xylitol on Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. Materials and Methods: Microbial strains were procured and revived on nutrient agar media. Coconut shell oil extract was prepared by heating ground shell in an earth pot for 3 h. Mango leaf extract was collected by powdering them using a blender and water extracts were prepared using agitation method. Orange peel extract was collected from the fresh peels of oranges which was pureed in a blender. The puree was subjected to hydrodistillation. The oil was separated. 10 g of Xylitol was dissolved in 10 ml of distilled water for base extract. 25%, 50%, 100%, and 200% dilutions of the extracts and xylitol were prepared. The susceptibility of the oral pathogens was determined by the well diffusion method. The extracts were pipetted into the wells and then incubated at 37°C overnight. After overnight incubation, the diameter of the clear zone produced was measured in cm. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extracts was evaluated by the microdilution method. Serial dilutions of the extracts and xylitol were added to the wells prepared in the agar plate along with nutrient broth and culture. The plates were placed in an incubator at 37°C for 24 h. The absence of turbidity in the wells was recorded as MIC. Results: Highest zone of inhibition was recorded for coconut shell extract against both the test organisms followed by Xylitol. Mango leaf extract and orange peel extract could not demonstrate statistically significant results. The inhibitory effect increased with increasing concentration. MIC of coconut shell extract against C. albicans and S. mutans was found out to be 37.5 mg and 25 mg, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it may be concluded that antibacterial and antifungal effect of nonalcoholic extracts of crude coconut shell extract is more when compared to mango leaf, orange peel, and xylitol. Mango leaf and orange peel extracts showed minimum activity.

Due importance is given to the primary level of prevention where the action is taken before the onset of the disease so that the disease exists no longer. Oral diseases are a major public health problem, and their burden is on increase in many low- and middle-income countries. Dental public health (DPH) aims to improve the oral health of the population through preventive and curative services. However, its achievements in India are being questioned probably because of lack of proficiency and skill among personnel. The present review study focuses on some of the important aspects relating to oral primary preventive measures at public/community level in India such as priority for oral health, DPH workforce and curriculum, and utilization of DPH personnel in providing primary oral health care. It was concluded that more attention should be given toward preventive oral health care by employing more number of dentists in public sector, strengthening DPH education and research, and combining oral health programs with general health-care programs.

The forces in play during the COVID-19 pandemic-driven slowdown and recession have affected the demand for health care, and consequently, the willingness of hospitals, health-care systems, and clinician group practices to continue employing health-care workers at prepandemic levels. The pandemic also has reduced the willingness of some health-care professionals to continue working in health care, independent of shifts in the demand of their services. To ensure that it continues to be responsive to community needs, and the workforce continues to be capable of delivering positive patient and community outcomes, the sector needs to develop early and proactive strategies to transition to effect positive cultural change. In this review of the literature, we have discussed the COVID-19 pandemic-related effects signal for the global health-care workforce in future is important to consider. Proactive planning and preparation today with an eye to tomorrow are critical; the health of the country's future generations depends on it.

Background: Adequate seal of the root canal is necessary to prevent recontamination and ensure long-term clinical success. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of ProRoot mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and Total Fill Bioceramic Root Repair Material Putty as the root canal obturation materials using the dye penetration test. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, a total of All 68 human teeth were mounted on an experimental setup. Teeth were randomly divided into four groups: Group 1 – A 4 mm apical plug of premixed TotalFill BC RRM Putty; Group 2 – A 4 mm apical plug of hand-mixed MTA; Group 3 – A 4 mm apical plug of mechanically mixed MTA was placed; and Group 4 – A 4 mm apical plug of mechanically mixed Biodentine was placed. Results: There is a statistically significant difference between Group II and Group III along the root canal wall (P < 0.05). There is no significant difference between Group I and Group IV along the root canal walls (P > 0.05). The lowest mean value of microleakage was recorded by Group I, whereas the highest mean value of microleakage was shown by Group II. Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, none of the root-end filling materials were free from microleakage. Among these materials, TotalFill BC RRM Putty showed the least microleakage along the root canal walls. However, the validity of this in vitro study could be appreciated only through further clinical trials.

Background: Numerous actions to diminish the number of microorganisms in the root canal system comprise the usage of a variety of functional techniques, irrigation methods, and intracanal medications. Irrigation goes hand in hand with resources to help remove pulp tissue and/or microorganisms. Purpose: The intent of this trial was to assess as well as compare the antimicrobial activity of herbal irrigant with normal irrigant (2.5% sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl]) against Enterococcus faecalis to test its effectiveness as root irrigation water. Materials and Methods: The culture was elevated overnight at 37°C in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth followed by testing microbial growth for changes in turbidity for 24 h. BHI broth comprising E. faecalis is vaccinated on a BHI agar plate using a grass planting method utilizing a sterile glass dispenser. Five test herbal discs (Curcuma longa [CT]-turmeric, Azadirachta indica [AI], MI, Propolis [P], and Triphala [T]); in addition to two control discs (ethanol as well as NaOCl) positioned on a custom plate. Results: The average blocking area with a drop-down program for each drug was observed to be: NaOCl (24.0 ± 1.74) >P (14.6 ± 1.84) > AI (09.5 ± 1.72) > T (06.4 ± 0.83) > CT (04.3 ± 04.1± ±0.83).) > Morinda citrifolia (03.2 ± 0.30) > ethanol (00.1 ± 0.01). Conclusions: P and AI have shown assuring outcomes in the completion of E. faecalis. Nevertheless, their work has been observed to be under NaOCl.

Introduction: It is important to know about the myths, especially in India, where general and oral health is embroiled in various myths. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of dental myths regarding oral health among the rural community of Daman. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural area of Daman. A total of 500 individuals were included; data were collected using a pretested and validated 16-term questionnaire, including demographic data and questions regarding dental myths. Data obtained were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics. Chi-square test is the statistical analysis used. Results: Almost all the participants believed in one or more dental myths. Majority of the participants, i.e., 80%, believed that oral cancer is not commonly found in older age group. About 92% of the participants felt that there was no necessity to consult a dentist in the absence of pain. Around 59% believed that extraction of the teeth of upper jaw causes loss of vision. There was an equally contradicting notion about bleeding gums while brushing. Conclusion: Various dental myths still lurk in the minds of the population; to discourage unhealthy practices, we the health professionals have to provide intensive health education and promote the adoption of healthy practices.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of dental myths regarding oral health among the rural community of Daman. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural area of Daman. A total of 500 individuals were included; data were collected using a pretested and validated 16-term questionnaire, including demographic data and questions regarding dental myths. Data obtained were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics. Chi-square test is the statistical analysis used. Results: Almost all the participants believed in one or more dental myths. Majority of the participants, i.e., 80%, believed that oral cancer is not commonly found in older age group. About 92% of the participants felt that there was no necessity to consult a dentist in the absence of pain. Around 59% believed that extraction of the teeth of upper jaw causes loss of vision. There was an equally contradicting notion about bleeding gums while brushing. Conclusion: Various dental myths still lurk in the minds of the population; to discourage unhealthy practices, we the health professionals have to provide intensive health education and promote the adoption of healthy practices. It would be prudent to familiarize professionals with these myths and beliefs as they act as barriers to seeking treatment.","PeriodicalId":14257,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Preventive and Clinical Dental Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"11 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87017046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mutans streptococci bacteria have long been acknowledged as the prime disease-instigating agents in dental caries, the disease that causes tooth decay. Caries vaccines have shown promising outcomes in animal trials, but they are still far from being effective in humans owing to political, monetary, as well as ethical concerns. Candidate vaccines must be evaluated in clinical trials to progress toward practical vaccine development. Passive immunization strategies that appear to be promising will need to be tested further in the clinic.
