When immature permanent teeth become non-vital, the prognosis of the teeth is compromised. Disinfection and obturation of root canals with open apices can be challenging. Revascularization is a useful tool for the treatment of permanent teeth with necrosed pulp and open apex. Clinically, Revascularization procedures consist of disinfection by intra-canal medicaments followed by inducing blood clot in the root canal or implantation of autologous fibrin matrices like PRP/PRF. Such procedures may improve prognosis of necrosed teeth with open apices. Existing studies indicate that regenerative procedures lead to increase in length and wall thickness of radicular dentin. This article presents a case series of three cases where revascularization procedures were successfully carried out.

Because of its acceptable accuracy, affordable price, accessible availability, and simplicity of handling, alginate impression materials continue to be a crucial component of dental practice despite many developments.The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the dimensional accuracy of two commercially available extended pour alginates (Cavex ColorChange and Algeniux) and a conventional alginate impression material (Zelgan) at different time intervals. On a maxillary model (Columbia Dentoform, Long Island City, N.Y.) the canines and the first molars were replaced with metal dies. This was selected as the master model. A ‘+’ mark was inscribed on these metal dies to serve as a reference for measurements. A self-cure acrylic resin custom tray was fabricated such that it was positioned over the model in the same spatial relationship with equal amount of space between the tray and model every time an impression was made. A total of 180 impressions were made of the master model, 15 impressions with each material at four different time intervals; immediate, 30 minutes, 48 hours (2 days) and 120 hours (5 days) to obtain gypsum cast. Manufacturer recommended water/powder ratios and storage conditions were followed in the process. Following the designated storage time interval, the casts were poured in minimum expansion Type IV dental stone. Measurements were done with a coordinate measuring machine after 7 days when the casts were completely dry. To evaluate and compare the dimensional accuracy of materials across various time points, for each group, the mean and standard deviation were estimated and subjected to statistical analysis. Two Way Repeated Measure Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine if the dimensions differed significantly across groups with time. The pair wise analysis for materials and time points was performed using Tukey’s post-hoc test. The p value was taken as significant when less than 0.05.Across different time points, a minimum % change was observed at immediate time point, which gradually increased at 30 minutes and at 48 hour, but at 120 hour the % change was maximum for all dimensions. Among three groups, Cavex ColorChange material showed minimum % change across time points, whereas Zelgan group showed maximum % change across all dimensions. All the paired differences were statistically insignificant (p > 0.05) for Algeniux and Cavex ColorChange group. But for Zelgan group, the difference between all the pairs of time points were statistically significant (p < 0.05), except for the pair immediate vs. 30 minutes. These results suggest that Zelgan material showed significant changes after 30 min for all the dimensions.: The results revealed that both the extended pour alginates Cavex ColorChange and Algeniux produced dimensionally accurate casts at all time intervals while the conventional alginate, Zelgan was accurate only at immediate and 30-minute time interval.

An essential quality of acrylic resin denture bases is colour stability. Over time, acrylic resin bases have a tendency to attract stains, which causes the denture base's colour to alter. These modifications sometimes make the denture less aesthetically pleasing for the wearer, which leads to patient unhappiness and higher replacement costs. The study's objective was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of cleaning dentures using chemical, mechanical, and chemico-mechanical methods for removing stains from the heat polymerized acrylic resin denture base.A total of 120 samples of heat polymerised acrylic resin were fabricated and stained using sambhar solution for 10 days under controlled conditions. The baseline optical density of the samples was determined. The samples were then subjected to stain removal procedure by either - chemical, mechanical or chemico-mechanical method. After which the optical density was again determined. The efficiency of the three methods used was determined by the difference in the optical density after staining and post cleaning and compared with the baseline optical density measured previously. The data was analysed using One-way ANOVA test. Post hoc comparison was made by Bonferroni t-test. p<0.0.5 was considered as statistically significant. Data analysis was done using the statistical software STATA version 13.0.The results suggested that the chemico-mechanical method was the best method for stain removal from the acrylic samples. However, the mechanical method of denture cleaning was found to be equally effective. The chemical method was least effective in removing stains from the surface of heat polymerised acrylic resin. The chemico-mechanical method was 95.16% effective and the mechanical method used was 92.12% effective, proving that the chemico-mechanical was the most effective method for removing stains from the acrylic resin amongst the 3 techniques compared.

To compare the antimicrobial efficacy of NaOCl, QMix 2in1, Octenidine dihydrochloride, 940nm diode laser with and without NaOCl against matured E. faecalis biofilm.Ninety extracted single-rooted teeth were instrumented and autoclaved. The specimens were exposed to E. faecalis contamination over a period of 21 days and subsequently divided into six distinct groups through a random assignment process. Group I-Control, Group II-NaOCl, Group III-940nm Diode laser, Group IV-940nm Diode laser + NaOCl, Group V-QMix 2in1, Group VI-Octenidine Dihydrochloride. Microbial specimens were gathered, cultured, and the quantification of colony-forming units was conducted.ANOVA, Post hoc test, And Tuckey test were applied to find significance.940nm Diode laser +NaOCl group showed a greater antimicrobial effect compared to other groups. No significant difference was observed between 940nm Diode laser and 940nm diode laser +NaOCl (p=.550), NaOCl and QMix 2 in 1 (p=.121), NaOCl and 940nm Diode laser groups (p =.680)The concurrent use of both sodium hypochlorite and 940nm Diode laser light manifests a synergistic influence, enhancing the bactericidal efficacy. The antibacterial effect of QMix 2in1 is comparable to that of NaOCl, 940nm Diode laser, more effective than OCT and less effective than the combination of sodium hypochlorite and 940nm Diode laser.A combination of 940nm laser and NaOCl is effective in reducing the bacterial count because of their capacity to penetrate effectively deep into dentinal tubules, resulting in intensified bactericidal action compared to newer irrigants used alone.

Dens Invaginatus (DI) is a developmental abnormality, usually affecting the maxillary incisor teeth, particularly lateral incisors. These cases usually present technical difficulties concerning their management owing to their aberrant canal morphology. Conventional root canal therapy, periapical surgery, and extraction have been reported as treatment modalities for such anomalies. The following case report depicts surgical endodontic management of an Oehler’s Type III DI involving a maxillary lateral incisor associated with periapical lesion aided by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and with the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), hydroxyapatite bone graft and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane. At 12 months post-treatment, the patient did not report any eventful episodes, and the size of the periapical lesion was markedly reduced.

: To measure stress and strain concentrations on four different RBFDP designs and its effect on cement layer and the Periodontal tissues using FEA.: Using CBCT data, two 3D models of a maxilla with missing lateral Incisor were printed. Tooth preparation for RBFDP was done. One model had proximal-groove of 4mm and other had 3mm proximal-groove. Four designs of cantilever RBFDPs were designed. Model-1: #21 abutment/ 3x3mm connector; Model-2: #21 abutment/ 3x4mm connector; Model-3: #23 abutment/ 3x3mm connector and; Model-4: #23 abutment/ 3x4mm connector. All Models were converted into FEA models, occlusal force of 200N was loaded at 450 to long axis of pontic and FEA was carried out. Maximum Principal Strain(MPS) in the RBFDP framework, periodontal tissues and Maximum Shear Stress(MSS) in cement layer were measured to evaluate the impact on periodontal tissues and the risk for framework-debonding respectively.: The MPS of framework in decreasing order was: Model-1>Model-2>Model-3>Model-4. The MPS of PDL: Model-1 and Model-2 > Model-3 and Model-4. MSS in cement layer: Model-1 and Model-2 > Model-3 and Model-4. Adhesion area with shear stress >11MPa: Model-1 and Model-2 > Model-3 and Model-4. MPS and MMS values were lower in models with 3×4mm connector than models with 3x3mm connector.: Adequate Connector dimension and adhesion-area are critical for success of RBFDP. Within the limitations of this study, RBFDP design with 3x4mm connector and Maxillary Canine as abutment for replacing Maxillary Lateral Incisor is better option in terms of framework-debonding risk and preservation of periodontal tissues.
