Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has the potential to regenerate pulp in immature pulpless teeth. Mineral trioxide is commonly used to seal the PRP into the pulp canal space. We investigated the effect of PRP and MTA individually and combined on osteo/odontogenic differentiation potential and the phenotype of tissue formed. MSCs were cultured in vitro with MTA, 5% PRP, 10% PRP, MTA with 5% PRP and MTA with 10% PRP. Osteo/odontogenic differentiation was assessed and quantified with alizarin red staining. Relative expression of Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) activity, type 1 collagen (COL1A1), Dental Sialo-Phospho Protein (DSPP), Dentin Matrix Protein (DMP-1), Bone Gamma-carboxyglutamate Protein (BGLAP), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Osterix (Osx) and TGF-β1 was identified by RT-q PCR. 10% PRP with MTA displayed significantly higher calcium deposition during differentiation and high ALP levels. Significantly enhanced levels of DSPP, DMP1, COL1A1, BGLAP, Runx2, and Osx and TGF-β1 transcripts were observed. Within limitations of the in vitro environment, results imply enhanced osteodentin formation, on combining PRP with MTA.Keywords

Pandemic corona virus situation having progressed and become intensive by the end of academic year of so there is a big question in the minds of every teacher how to assess the students in medical institutes. The purpose of this review is to identify the various challenges in medical education the Universities are facing in learning, teaching and assessments and recommendations for coping strategies. The most pressing challenges that are emerging may include alternative assessments to the pen and paper assessments previously planned. In conclusion no matter what learning, teaching and assessment methods are employed by the various Universities each and every student has to have an individual responsibility to be self-accountable as they need to face the future with the knowledge they gain through these professional courses as online assessments are a significant technological advancement in today’s era.

Today, chewing sticks are being used commonly in the world. They are known by various names, including Miswak or arak in Arabic. The efficacy of Miswak and modern toothbrushes have shown a superior effect rather than use of toothbrush alone. This study aims to assess the Knowledge Attitude and Practices of patients attending a private dental hospital on Miswak. This is a cross-sectional analytical study. The study was conducted by means of a questionnaire, in order to obtain knowledge, attitude and practices of patients attending a private dental hospital on Miswak. An electronic copy of the questionnaire was prepared using Google forms in Arabic and distributed through social media. There were 342 respondents for the survey. About 93% of the participants selected that they use any oral hygiene aid as it is beneficial. Among all the participants only 2.3% of them used Miswak as an oral hygiene aid and 31.6% used both tooth brush and paste and Miswak. Majority of the respondents cleaned their teeth twice or thrice in a day. One of the main reasons of using Miswak by the participants was its religious background. The respondents prefer that the next generation would use a combination of Miswak and tooth brushKeywords
