The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts as a hinge that connects your mandibular jawbone to your skull. TMJ dysfunction can lead to difficulty chewing, clicking sounds while opening and closing the jaw, pain, discomfort, and locking of the jaw joint. American Academy of orofacial pain stated that temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is referred to as a combined term of clinical problems that involve the masticatory musculature, the TMJ, and its associated structures. A variety of treatment modalities have been proposed for the management of TMDs, such as behavioral therapy, physiotherapy, intraoral appliances, orthopedic stabilization, and collective treatment. This topic aims to provide insight and detailed information regarding the various types and functions of occlusal splint therapy in TMD pain management.

COVID-19 has badly affected the global economy, also affecting the health-care sector with a major effect on dentistry. It is important to understand the reason behind it from patient’s perspective, by knowing their awareness, perception, and willingness toward dental treatment during COVID-19 times. This might help the dentist to increase patient inflow. A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey. A validated questionnaire was circulated to participants by investigators, consisting questions related to demographic data, awareness, perception, and willingness toward dental treatment. A total of 616 participants responded. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22. More than 90% of participants are aware of COVID-19 and various precautions to be taken to prevent the spreads of the disease. The majority of participants about 74% are aware that dentists are at higher risk of acquiring COVID-19 infection. Many respondents 76.6% are afraid to visit the dentist, due to fear of acquiring COVID-19 infection 74% prefer to delay dental treatment. Around 71.8% are willing to consult through teledentistry, 69.8% are not willing to provide medical certificates, and 58.2% are willing to pay more fees than usual for the extra precaution taken by the dentist to prevent COVID-19 spread. People are afraid to visit dental clinics due to fear of cross infection. People are ready to pay more for precautions taken by their dentists. People should be made aware of precautionary measures taken by the dentist so that they feel safe to visit a dental clinic during COVID-19 times.

This study aims to assess the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and dental caries experience among the patients attending the outpatient department of Tagore Dental College, Chennai, India. A cross-sectional study with a convenient sampling technique was employed in the outpatient department of Tagore Dental College, Chennai, India. Obesity was recorded by measuring the BMI. Dental caries experience was recorded using the World Health Organization’s recommended “decayed missing and filled teeth (DMFT)” method. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test and Student’s (unpaired) t-test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Dental caries prevalence was 81.9% with a mean DMFT score of 4.23 ± 3.56. Among the study participants, 69.4% were normal weight, 22.9% were overweight, and 6.8% were underweight. No significant association was found between gender with BMI and caries experience. The prevalence of dental caries was high among the sampled population but the majority of the sampled population had normal BMI. To address public health concerns connected to dental caries, additional oral health prevention programs and policies should be implemented.

Dentin bonding agents are resin materials that provide stable and long-lasting bond strength to make a dental composite filling material adhere to both dentin and enamel. They have myriad applications in the field of dentistry but are still being improvised. The purpose of this article is to discuss the evolution of dentin bonding agents and current concepts on routine adhesion techniques.

The incidence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic led many researchers from various fields to find solutions to manage the spread and treat patients suffering from the disease. This led to the discovery of various vaccines which greatly reduced the spread of COVID-19. However, stem cell therapy was also proposed to be a suitable option in treatment of the same, due to its immunomodulatory properties. There are various ongoing clinical trials with various approaches for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

It is important to assess the root canal morphology and its variations before initiating the endodontic procedure. This is because the inability to clean the complete root canal system forms the seat for the persistent infection which ultimately leads to endodontic treatment failure. The case describes the treatment of a mandibular canine with two roots which was referred to the department of conservative dentistry and endodontics for root canal treatment. Clinical examination revealed a mandibular canine with a carious lesion and responded within normal limits to the electric pulp test. Radiographic examination revealed a distal carious lesion (involving pulp) with an additional root.

This study was conducted to understand the attitudes of parents toward oral hygiene care for children. A cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the parent’s reasons for brushing or not brushing their child’s teeth. Convenience sampling method was followed and 100 parents filled the 12-item self-administered questionnaire. About 76% of the household mothers were brushing the children’s teeth. Around 41 children did not like to brush their teeth due to unpleasant taste/flavor of toothpaste. In our study, majority of the parents (73%) agreed that it is easier when both of them were present at home while their child is brushing. The present study revealed that the awareness and importance of good oral hygiene is less among the parents and the attitude of the parents toward their child’s oral hygiene is positive among mother when compared to father.
