Background: Use of newer adhesives to improve adhesion and reduce microleakage between tooth-amalgam interface is the need of the hour, to promote the clinical use of diminishing silver amalgam restorations. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of conventional liners and newer bonding adhesives, namely, Optibond, self-etch adhesive system, and Single Bond Universal Adhesive system in minimizing the microleakage under amalgam restorations. Materials and Methods: Class I cavities were prepared on occlusal surfaces of 40 premolars and were randomly divided into four groups of 10 teeth each, which were lined with dental varnish, Bifluorid varnish, Optibond, and Single Bond Universal Adhesive and restored with silver amalgam. The specimens were subjected to microleakage testing through dye penetration method, observed under ××30 stereomicroscope. Results: Amalgam restorations lined with Single Bond Universal Adhesive showed significantly higher (P < 0.001) microleakage score (mean rank = 34.50) when compared to restorations lined with Bifluorid varnish (mean rank = 22.40), dental varnish (mean rank = 15.70), and Optibond (mean rank = 9.40). Conclusion: The study concluded that among all the cavity lining materials used, Optibond All-In-One self-etch adhesive significantly minimized microleakage under silver amalgam restorations.

Replacement of anterior teeth is always an esthetic challenge. However, anterior missing teeth coupled with dehiscence make it more challenging. This case presentation discusses the management of dehiscence in the anterior region using a novel, cost-effective platelet-rich fibrin clot along with bone grafting material and restoring missing teeth to achieve form, function and maximum esthetics by a multidisciplinary approach.

Background: Oral microorganisms, which are usually opportunistic pathogens invade a root canal containing necrotic tissue and establish an infectious process causing primary endodontic infections. When root canal remains infected for long periods, the number of facultative anaerobic bacteria increases. The most common facultative anaerobic Gram-positive coccus cultured from non-healing endodontic cases is Enterococcus species. Aims and Objectives: The present study was done to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of Tridax procumbens, Aegle marmelos, and 5% sodium hypochlorite against Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formed on the tooth substrate. Materials and Methods: Extracted human teeth were biomechanically prepared, vertically sectioned, placed in the tissue culture wells exposing the root canal surface to E. faecalis to form a biofilm. At the end of the 3rd and 6th weeks, all groups were treated for 10 min with the test solutions and control and were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Results: Qualitative assay with 3-week biofilm showed complete inhibition of bacterial growth with T. procumbens, A. marmelos and NaOCl, except saline, which showed the presence of bacterial growth. In quantitative analysis, Aegle and saline-treated tooth samples showed 1.344 ±123 CFU/mL and 186.4 × 109 ± 4.1 × 109 CFU/mL (mean and standard deviation), respectively. Qualitative assay with 6-week biofilm showed growth when treated with Tridax and marmelos whereas NaOCl has shown complete inhibition. All treated groups have shown a significant reduction of the bacterial population compared with the control group, and NaOCl showed 100% reduction. Conclusion: Nearly 5% sodium hypochlorite showed maximum antibacterial activity against E. faecalis biofilm formed on tooth substrate. T. procumbens, A. marmelos also showed statistically significant antibacterial activity.

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma generally arises from oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) through a complex process of genetic alterations such as chromosomal alterations, epigenetic alterations, and/or DNA changes. If these lesions are detected in early stages, i.e., during stage of PMDs through specific and sensitive tests, it can markedly improve the survival rates of patients. Micronucleus (MN) is one such suitable and reliable test to detect genotoxic effects of various carcinogens. Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the levels of micronuclei in OPMDs as well as to correlate micronuclei frequency in different grades of dysplasia. Materials and Methods: The study cases were divided into two groups, Group I consisting of thirty healthy controls and Group II of thirty histopathologically proven cases of OPMDs. The exfoliated cells were collected from buccal mucosa/lesional area of both study groups and were stained with Feulgen stain and evaluated under microscope for MN. Statistical analysis was done using ANOVA test and correlation was calculated using Pearson’s correlation using SPSS 18.0 software. Results: According to the present study, MN and MN percentage (MN%) increased from normal to potentially malignant disorder cases with statistically significant difference. A highly positive correlation (0.946) between grades of dysplasia and MN formation was obtained. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the occurrence of MN and MN% increases from controls to potentially malignant disorder cases. Among PMDs, the occurrence of MN and MN% was highest in patients of oral submucous fibrosis followed by leukoplakia and lichen planus patients. And finally, with increase in grades of dysplasia, in PMD subjects, the formation of MN increases.

Context: Bone quantity in the maxillary posterior edentulous area may be insufficient for dental implant placement due to pneumatization of the maxillary sinus. Different solutions were proposed over the years, such as use of short implants, tilted implants placed in the anterior maxilla, zygoma implants, and maxillary sinus floor elevation and grafting procedures with autogenous bone or allografts, xenografts, and alloplastic materials. β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is known to be excellent promotor of osteoblastic formation and readily resorbed by macrophages and osteoclasts and associated with a lower risk of failure or complications. The use of plateletrich fibrin (PRF) during sinus lift procedures has been advocated for many years during lateral sinus lift or vertical osteotome augmentation. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the amount of bone formation, clinical and radiological outcomes, and post-operative morbidity of sinus floor elevation procedure performed using β-TCP and β-TCP in combination with PRF. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients who required bilateral sinus lift procedure were accepted into the study and were treated with sinus lift with β-TCP with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on one side (Group A) and with only β-TCP on the other side (Group B). The bone height of the ridges was measured on computed tomography (CT) scans (Dentascans) of 0.6 mm sections. Vertical bone heights of all the patients were measured preoperatively and postoperatively on CT scans and the amount of vertical bone gain was assessed. Results: The mean bone height of all the patients who were treated with a direct sinus lift (preoperatively) was 6.0 mm in Group A and 5.8 mm in Group B and the heights varied anywhere between 3.5 mm and 7.4 mm for a total of 50 implant sites. The mean bone gain in direct sinus lift was 5.91 mm on the side of β-TCP with PRF and 5.01 mm on the side of β-TCP. Bone density between the two groups showed statistically significant difference at the 6th month recall when measured by independent t-test. Conclusion: The study indicated that β-TCP with PRF and β-TCP is both effective bone substitutes for sinus floor elevation in oral and maxillofacial region. The mean bone gain in direct sinus lift on β-TCP is comparatively less than β-TCP with PRF.

Odontomas are non aggressive, hamartomatous developmental lesion of odontogenic origin. Failure of a permanent tooth to erupt is the most common clinical manifestation. They are classified as complex, when a mixture of odontogenic tissues without dental organization is present, or compound when it is composed of tooth like structures. Complex odontomas have a tendency to occur in posterior mandibular region. We report a case of complex odontoma occurring in maxillary anterior region, which is a relatively uncommon location.

There has been a considerable surge in the percentage of adult patients seeking for orthodontic intervention over the past few decades. These adult patients are highly motivated, cooperative, and compliant toward the treatment. At the same time, the expectations of the adult patients to get an effective and esthetic treatment in a shorter duration of time present a challenge to the orthodontic professionals. The orthodontists, for a while, are on a constant lookout for modalities to fasten the tooth movement. However, with the interdisciplinary collaboration, the realm of orthodontics has considerably expanded the conventional orthodontic treatment protocols. To address the concerns of the overall orthodontic treatment time, a number of less invasive interim surgical techniques have been developed. These techniques have not only aided in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement but also have found high acceptance among the patients as well as the dental community. Periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) is one such clinical procedure. It combines alveolar corticotomy and particulate bone grafting. The surgical procedure is followed by the application of orthodontic forces. Here, we have two cases of Angle’s Class I malocclusion with bimaxillary protrusion managed with fixed orthodontic mechanotherapy and PAOO. This procedure is theoretically based on the regional acceleratory phenomenon, which is a bone healing pattern. The tooth movement was enhanced shortening the treatment time and increasing post-treatment stability. The cases were completed with increased alveolar volume and intact periodontal housing. The desired degree of facial remodeling and facial esthetics was achieved. The present paper reports two such cases.
