Amalgam and composite are the two most famous dental restorative materials till date and the choice between them is still debatable. Amalgam restorations have served the profession well and will continue to do so in the years to come. In terms of longevity, amalgam is superior to composite resins, especially when used for large restorations. In case of small restorations, composite is the restoration of choice as minimum removal of the sound structure is required. Where esthetics is a major concern, composite has a way far than amalgam. Amalgam has served as a better core material and has superior mechanical properties than composite. Composite has an advantage of adhesion over amalgam. This review article compares amalgam and composite as a restorative material.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the hemodynamic changes (blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation) when using three different local anesthetic agents such 2% Lignocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine, Buffered Lignocaine and 4% Articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine with inferior alveolar nerve block in pediatric dental patients. Methods: A double blind crossover study was designed where in 48; 5-10 year old patients received three sections of inferior alveolar nerve block injections in three appointments which scheduled one week apart. Blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation was measured before and after administration. Results: When applying three factors ANOVA, no statistically significant difference was found between Lignocaine and Buffered Lignocaine, Buffered Lignocaine and Articaine in all the three parameters(P > 0.05 ). Conclusion: This findings in hemodynamic changes from this study reveals that all the three anesthetic agents are safe in children aged 5-10 years.

Congenital midline labial sinus is a rare condition known to affect both the upper and the lower lip. This anomaly has been reported in both genders, but with a slightly increased predilection in females. It can occur either in isolation or in association with a wide array of congenital malformations such as cleft lip, cleft palate, Van der Woude syndrome, median lip pit, and brachydactylia. Usually, the patient presents with swelling of the upper lip with or without associated discharge. A history of recurrent cellulitis of the lip is almost always present. In this manuscript, a review of the literature (spanning across almost six decades) has been attempted for this rare condition. Search engines such as PubMed, Medscape, and Google Scholar were searched for keywords such as “recurrent cellulitis of the upper lip,” “sinus of the upper lip,” “fistula of the upper lip,” and “congenital midline labial sinus.” All the available full text in the English language was compiled and thoroughly scrutinized. The observations such as age, sex, clinical feature, associated anomaly, and other relevant information were noted and tabulated in the chronological order.
先天性唇中线窦是一种罕见的情况下,已知的影响上唇和下唇。这种异常在两性中都有报道,但在女性中有轻微的增加。它既可以单独发生,也可以与各种先天性畸形(如唇裂、腭裂、Van der Woude综合征、中唇窝和短指畸形)联合发生。通常,患者表现为上唇肿胀,伴有或不伴有分泌物。唇蜂窝织炎的复发史几乎总是存在的。在这份手稿中,回顾了文献(跨越近六十年),试图为这种罕见的情况。在PubMed、Medscape和谷歌Scholar等搜索引擎上搜索关键词,如“复发性上唇蜂窝织炎”、“上唇窦”、“上唇瘘”和“先天性中线唇窦”。所有可用的英文全文都经过汇编和彻底审查。观察结果如年龄、性别、临床特征、相关异常和其他相关信息被记录并按时间顺序制成表格。

Autologous platelet concentrates (platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin) enriched with various growth factors play an important role in periodontal regeneration. This review includes biological principle, efficacy, and effectiveness of autologous platelet concentrates. Based on the result obtained from the systematic review and meta-analysis it can be concluded that complimentary effects of autologous platelet concentrates may be used as lucrative adjunct to regenerative periodontal therapy. However, postoperative plaque control is one of the key factors influencing periodontal healing following regenerative periodontal therapy.

Purpose: The aim of the present in vitro study is to evaluate the effect of thermocycling on the shear bond strength (SBS) of cemented zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) discs (Celtra Duo). Materials and Methods: Thirty-six Celtra Duo ceramic discs cemented (n = 36) to composites discs background (Master dent) by adhesive resin cement (Biscem). The baseline group (n = 12) did not subject to thermocycling, the second group (n = 12) was subject to 2500 thermal cycle, and the third group was subject to 5000 thermal cycles, then SBS and the failure mode were evaluated. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the groups (P = 0.001) where the value of SBS (Mpa) was significantly decreased in both 2500 thermocycling group (P = 0.021) and 5000 thermocycling group (P = 0.001) when compared with their corresponding level measured at baseline group. In addition, there was a significant decrease in bond strength of 5000 thermocycling group when compared with its corresponding value in the 2500 thermocycling group (P = 0.001). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study and within the limitations of this in vitro study, it can be concluded that the SBS of cemented ZLS restorations will be decreased when samples are subjected to thermocycling to simulate the clinical situation.

Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a pathological condition where mandibular condyle fused the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone. It causes distressing and disabling conditions to the patient. The purpose of our study is to determine the frequency of pediatric TMJ ankylosis attending at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Dhaka Dental College and Hospital, Bangladesh. Methodology: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study for 18 patients (9 male and 9 female) aged up to 18 years old. Data assembled from the patient's surgical records reviewed from January 2016 to December 2018. Results: Females and males were affected equally, the most affected age group was 7–12 as well as 13–18 years old (n = 7, 38.89%), bilateral ankylosis (n = 11, 61.11%) was more common than unilateral (n = 7, 38.89). Type III (34.48%) ankylosis (Sawhney's classification) was found to be the most frequent type. Trauma (n = 11, 61.10%) was the major etiologic factor for pediatric TMJ ankylosis. All patients were managed by surgical intervention. Gap arthroplasty (n = 9; 50.0%) was the most preferable treatment method followed by interpositional arthroplasty (n = 7, 38.89%) and condylectomy (n = 2, 11.11%). Conclusion: The majority of the patient was affected by trauma. Most of the patients came with Type III ankylosis with having facial deformities. Absolute and proper management regarding mandibular condylar fracture and infection (middle ear) must be required to prevent TMJ ankylosis. Surgical intervention is the only treatment option for managing TMJ ankylosis. Aggressive physiotherapy is mandatory to prevent reankylosis, thus ensuring the patient's quality of life.

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the knowledge, awareness, and practice of dental undergraduate, interns, and postgraduate students toward postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) and needlestick injuries. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey was carried out among undergraduate, interns and postgraduate dental students in an institutional dental hospital in India. The students were required to fill a self-administered questionnaire with close ended questions with responses indicated by a simple tick box format. The questionnaire was divided into three sections intended to collect information on (1) sociodemographic characteristics, (2) knowledge, and (3) practice habits toward needlestick injury (NSI) and PEP of the respondents. Results: An adequate score (>70% correct response) to knowledge about NSI and PEP was obtained by 60.2% (50/83) of the respondents, while 47% (39/83) of the student participants obtained an adequate score (>70% score) to appropriate practice habits toward NSI and PEP. A high proportion (84.3%) of the student were vaccinated against Hepatitis B virus, but only 6% were aware of their serum antibody to HBsAg. 61.5% of the student reported experiencing NSI during clinical practice with 3.6% of the students taking PEP. The most common reason for not taking PEP was ignorance of PEP protocol (27.7%) and lack of support to report the incidence (18.1%). The postgraduate students scored better than the undergraduate students in both the knowledge and practice parameters, but the results were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: This study shows that dental students' knowledge, practice, and awareness toward NSI and PEP is inadequate. The current classroom education must be supplemented with additional interventions to ingrain appropriate practice habits.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to periodontal disease (PD) because both diseases share similar inflammatory pathogenic mechanisms that produce bone resorption. To assess the possible bidirectional link between RA and PD. A search for articles on RA and PD was conducted in the following electronic databases: PubMed (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library), Web of Science (WoS), and Google Scholar. Twenty-two studies with a low-moderate risk of bias according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Methodological Quality Scale were considered in this meta-analysis. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Software RevMan 5.4 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK). For continuous outcomes, the estimates of effects of the intervention were expressed as mean differences (MDs) using the inverse variance method, and for dichotomous outcomes, the estimates of effects of the intervention were expressed as odds ratios (OR) using the Mantel-Haenszel method, both with 95% confidence intervals.

Aim: This in vivo split-mouth randomized control trial was carried out to study and compare the incidence of postoperative pain associated with single-sitting endodontic treatment using inferior alveolar nerve block and intraligamentary injection as primary anesthetic technique. Methods: A total of 30 patients with bilateral symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in mandibular molars were selected to be included in the study. In each subject, molar in one quadrant was randomly assigned to Group 1 (intraligamentary injection), and the molar in the opposite quadrant was assigned to Group 2 (inferior alveolar nerve block). The root canal procedures for the patients were carried out in single sittings under rubber dam using hand ProtaperTM system, 2.5% sodium hypochlorite as irrigant alternating with normal saline and obturation by the lateral condensation technique. A questionnaire employing Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain assessment was given to the patient and instructions on how to fill the form were given. VAS scores for every tooth treated in every patient were recorded before beginning treatment and after completion of treatment for each tooth. The patients were recalled after 2 days, and the scores were analyzed. The results were tabulated and statistically analyzed for incidence and degree of pain. Results: Group 1 and Group 2 showed a steady reduction in postoperative pain from 4 h to 48 h as seen in the mean VAS scores. Comparison between the two groups at each time interval showed a difference which was statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: There is no difference in the incidence of postoperative pain when either inferior alveolar nerve block or intraligamentary injection is employed as the primary technique for achieving anesthesia during single-sitting root canal treatment.

Traumatic dental injuries are most commonly seen in children and teenagers, especially in the anterior teeth. The ultimate goal of any dental treatment is to reestablish the lost tooth form and function. Numerous procedures have been proposed in the past in which there was considerable loss of remaining sound tooth structure. However, with recent technologies, the minimally invasive procedure is dominating. One such procedure is to reattach the fractured fragment to reestablish the biological form and function of the tooth. Thus, in this section, two case reports on managing complicated crown fractures were discussed, where restoration of anterior teeth with the available tooth fragment was supported with fiber post. As this procedure helps to provide life like appearance of the tooth by restoring anatomy and esthetics, it even adds to psychological stability of the patient.

The ultimate goal of any dental treatment is to reestablish the lost tooth form and function.
