Assessment of oral health literacy with dental hygiene among rural communities in India.

Oral health literacy (OHL) and its effect on hygiene practices among 300 adults in rural Bareilly, India is assessed. The average OHL score was 12.6 ± 3.

Assessment of Pulp Chamber Morphology of Primary Maxillary and Mandibular Molars Using Spiral Computed Tomography: An Analytical Study.

Background: The basic anatomy of primary teeth gives an idea of an ideal access cavity with minimal loss of tooth structure. Central groove, cemento enamel junction (CEJ), roof and floor of the pulp chamber, and furcation area are significant landmarks in tooth morphology. In primary teeth, the pulp occupies a higher volume of the crown than permanent teeth do, and with progressing caries, the comparatively thin layer of hard mineralized tissue between the inner and outer surfaces causes the tooth pulp to become involved very quickly.

Clinicopathological Correlation of Pericoronal Radiolucency in Pediatric Patients.

Unlabelled: An odontogenic epithelium-derived developing cyst of the mandible is known as an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC). According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification from 2005, OKCs were referred to as keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs) and were thought to be cystic neoplasms. As of 2017, the WHO again switched KCOT back to OKC, as there was a lack of support for their justification as a tumor entity.

Stereomicroscopic Evaluation of the Apical Sealing Ability of Different Root Canal Sealers (Endoseal, Apexit, MTA Fillapex, Ceraseal) Using Diaphanization Technique.

Introduction: Obturation of the root canal is the most critical step in endodontic treatment, which aims to provide a hermetic seal and prevent regrowth and entry of bacteria into the canal. To achieve this, many sealers are used in endodontics.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of the apical seal obtained by different sealers used in conjunction with the single cone obturation technique using gutta-percha under the stereomicroscope.

Establishing Aesthetics by Purposeful Autoreimplantation in Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia: A 12-Month Follow-up Case Report.

Unlabelled: This article aims to describe purposeful reimplantation and inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia cases caused due to poor dental health and malpositioning of teeth. A 17-year-old male patient was referred to a dental specialty hospital for soft tissue growth in the lower anterior tooth region. Anamnesis and clinical examination revealed that tooth #31 was severely hypoplastic.

Unveiling the Impact of Maternal Hyperthermia in the Late First Trimester: A Case Report of Anterior Esthetic Rehabilitation Utilizing Heterodontic Biologic Posts.

The perinatal maternal environment is important for the normal development of the fetus. Epigenetic modifications that influence developmental control genes and signalling pathways for proper fetal development have been associated with maternal illnesses brought on by viruses, bacteria, or even parasitic protozoa. It is crucial to provide details on the onset, length, and timing of the mother's fever because these factors may influence the kind of certain abnormalities.

Delayed diagnosis of advanced stage Leukemia in Two Pediatric Patients with Oral Manifestation.

Background: Leukemia is a disease in which hematopoietic stem cell mutation leads to the uncontrolled growth of immature blood cells. These abnormal cells, which displace healthy cells, are the reason for the bone marrow's failure and demise.

Objective: To report unnoticed cases of delayed Leukemia in two patients.

evaluation of remineralization potential of novamin on artificially induced carious lesions in primary teeth using scanning electron microscope and vickers hardness.

Aims: The objective of this in vitro study was to find out the efficacy of Novamin in remineralizing enamel surface on which artificial caries lesion had been created. The changes were analyzed using Vickers Hardness Testing Machine and Scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Settings And Design: A total of 40 primary teeth were selected and divided into two groups: Control group and SHY NM (Novamin).

Hypothyroidism and Sturge-Weber Syndrome associated with Bilateral Port-wine Nevus.

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare, nonhereditary developmental condition that is characterized by a hamartomatous vascular proliferation of the brain, resulting in multiple angiomas that occur on the same side due to arteriovenous malformations. It is believed to be caused by persistence of a vascular plexus around the cephalic portion of the neural tube and is present at birth in about 1 in every 50,000 babies. It is one of the phakomatoses which is often associated with port-wine stains (PWSs) of the face, glaucoma, seizures, mental retardation and ipsilateral leptomeningeal angioma.

An Immature Type II Dens Invaginatus in a Mandibular Lateral Incisor with Talon's Cusp: A Clinical Dilemma to Confront.

Dens invaginatus (DI) is a malformation of teeth probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. DI is classified as type I, II, and III by Oehlers depending on the severity of malformation. The maxillary lateral incisor is the most commonly affected tooth.

Antimicrobial effectiveness of different preparations of calcium hydroxide.

Background: Intracanal medicaments have an antibacterial effect on the root canal flora. The effectiveness of such vehicles has to be tested and substantiated against the normal bacterial flora. The various vehicles that were tested for their effectiveness were commercially prepared calcium hydroxide (Metapex), saline, glycerine, CMCP, and Rexidine-M gel.
