Background: Small number of tobacco users are fully aware of its harmful effects. Warning labels on tobacco products are an effective way of communicating the consequences of tobacco use and bring about behavioral changes such as quitting. Aim: The study aims to test the validity and reliability of a transtheoretical model (TTM) based questionnaire for tobacco cessation in Class IV workers. Methodology: A descriptive randomized control trial was carried out among 268 participants who were randomly selected from Class IV workers of Jawahar Soot Girni, Dhule. The participants were randomly divided by the block randomization technique into two groups equally as Group A and B, where Group A received verbal tobacco counseling and Group B received tobacco counseling in the form of pictorial warning. TTM model-based questionnaire was used as a method of measurement to evaluate the effect of pictorial warning interventions. Results: In the study group, preresponse 64% said no, they did not felt unease due to the presence of health warning, 35.1% of participants said yes, they felt unease due to the presence of health warning and post response was 22.4% said no, they did not felt unease due to the presence of health warning, 77.6% said yes, they felt unease due to the presence of health warning. The comparison showed there is a significant difference in pre- and postscore (P < 0.05). The pictorial warning was found to be statistically significant as compared to verbal instructions only. Conclusion: Warning labels on tobacco packs effectively inform people about the adverse health effects of tobacco when compared to oral instructions.

Oral cancer has a tendency to be detected at late stage which is detrimental to the patients because of its high mortality and morbidity rates. Early detection of oral cancer is important to reduce the incidence of mortality. The use of natural products which have a rich source of anticancer agents helps to reverse, suppress, or prevent carcinogenic progression. Chemopreventive agents play a crucial role in reversal, suppression, and prevention of carcinogenesis of premalignant or malignant cells by modulating cell proliferation or differentiation. This article review describes the most important chemopreventive agents taking place in the prevention of premalignant lesions to develop to oral cancer. By including cancer fighting foods in the daily diet like leafy green vegetables, sweet potatoes, carrots, soya, seaweed, drumsticks, tomatoes, grapes, avocado, grapefruit, papaya, lemon, oranges, and green tea, oral cancer can be prevented. Natural therapies may be a good substitute in the prevention of premalignant lesion to develop to invasive cancer by using Chemotherapeutic agents.

Background: A qualified dental assistant is expected to have proper knowledge in, various treatment procedures, handling instruments, infection control and health hazards. The present survey has been conducted to assess the qualification and performances of the assistants working in different dental clinics. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among the assistants working in 22 dental clinics in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Results: Only one clinic had a qualified Dental Hygienist and the other assistants working in other clinics were lacking professional degrees. Around 91% were involved in mixing restorative materials, 32% were involved in taking radiographs, 45.5% were not immunized for Hepatitis B and 19.2% of them have no knowledge about transmission of diseases like AIDS. Conclusion: The present study shows almost all the assistants working in private dental clinics were not qualified with professional degrees. The dental surgeons should be much more concerned in recruiting only qualified dental auxiliaries.

COVID-19 has emerged as a pandemic outbreak, and it has become a virulent disease. Coronavirus belongs to the family of enveloped, single-stranded, positive-strand RNA viruses classified under Nidovirales order. Dentists are at very high risk to get exposed to the virus due to direct contact with the oral cavity and aerosol produced by the salivary droplets of patients. Hence, several dental care facilities in the affected nations were completely closed or have been presenting minimum remedy for emergency cases. This assessment article aimed to provide a brief knowledge about the origin, mode of transmission, stages of spread of the disease, effect of the outbreak of the disease on dentistry, and patient management and prevention guidelines to be followed by dental practitioners.

Introduction: Dental caries is the most common oral disease affecting preschoolers. Despite the improvement in oral hygiene practices and dietary habits, no evident decline in their decayed, missing, and filled teeth levels was observed, which shifts away the focus of understanding its etiology from primarily a dietary-induced bacterial infection to a rather complex disease with multiple contributing factors. Aim: The aim is to explore the impact of parental characteristics and family structure on dental caries experience of preschoolers. Subjects and Methods: Dental caries status of 200 children, aged 3–5 years in Chidambaram was assessed using the WHO standard criteria for primary teeth and informations on family structure were obtained from parents using questionnaire. Results: Family size, birth rank, age difference between the subject and siblings, parent's age, and educational status of parents were found to be associated with the dental caries experience of the preschoolers at bivariate level. In a stepwise multiple linear regression analysis family size, birth rank, and mother's educational status remained statistically significant. Conclusion: Family structure might significantly affect the caries experience of preschool children.

For the hospice patient needing palliative care, quality of life must encompass all aspects of comfort management. Often, medical and dental professionals and caregivers under their management in both homes and institutions hesitate or simply do not elect to offer oral care for patients nearing the end of life. This may be due to many factors, including difficulties encountered in patient compliance or lack of education as to how and why such care should be delivered to the hospice patient. This article aims to clarify the reasons why the hospice patient, cognizant or not, needs properly and regularly implemented oral care and why both medical and dental professionals have an ethical responsibility to concomitantly address the current void that exists in delivering it.

Background: Over the past many years, rotary nickel–titanium (NiTi) instruments have become widely used in endodontics. These superelastic instruments offer benefits over hand instrumentation for preparing curved root canals, including less transportation of the canal and reduced operating time. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare single length with crown-down methods' shaping ability using Mtwo NiTi files. Subjects and Methods: One hundred extracted human first and second mandibular molars were divided into two experimental groups. In Group A, single length technique was used, and in Group B, root canals were prepared by the crown-down technique. Pre- and postpreparation canals were photographed in a standardized manner and were superimposed. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that in Group A, the inner wall was predominantly removed (P < 0.01), whereas in Group B, dentine was equally removed within the canal coronal to the curvature. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the single length method and crown-down technique using Mtwo for the preparation f the apical and middle portion of canal curvature.

Purpose: In this in vitro study, we evaluate the effect of delmopinol application on Candida albicans adherence on heat-cured acrylic resin and cold-cured acrylic resin. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 specimens of every sort of acrylic resin were made, 20 specimens of each type were control group, 20 specimens were contaminated before delmopinol application, and 20 specimens were contaminated after delmopinol application. Each specimen in each tube was individually transferred to a spectrophotometer at 530 nm wavelength to measure the turbidity degree through the transmittance. Aliquots of 10 μl of every tube were then collected and inoculated into agar Sabouraud plates containing 500 mmol/l of sucrose, which was incubated for 24 h at 37°C, so as to see the microbial growth. Two-way ANOVA analysis of variance test and post hoc Turkey's test were carried out to ascertain the level of significance (P < 0.001) of various observations. Conclusion: In case of contamination after delmopinol application, heat-cured acrylic resin showed a greater reduction in the adherence of C. albicans in this study.
