Abstract

The main reason for endodontic failure of mandibular incisor is the inability to detect the presence of second canal. Varying number of the ischolar_main canals, their anatomy and interconnections in different teeth have been studied and reported. This case report describes the successful endodontic treatment of mandibular incisor having two ischolar_main canals.

Keywords

Abstract

Metagenomics using next generation sequencing technologies has produced bacterial profiles and genomic profiles to study the relationships between microbial diversity, genetic variation, and oral diseases. Several oral metagenomic studies have examined the oral microbiome of periodontal disease and caries. Gene annotations in these studies support the association of specific genes or metabolic pathways with oral health and with specific diseases. The roles of pathogenic species and functions of specific genes in oral disease development have been recognized by metagenomic analysis. This review gives an overview on the interaction between oral microbiomes that determine a state of health or disease.

Keywords

Abstract

Comprehensive oral care that combines both art and science to optimally improve dental health, aesthetics and function is termed as cosmetic dentistry. The objective of Cosmetic Dentistry is to provide maximum improvements in aesthetics with the minimum trauma to the dentition. Veneer is a layer of tooth colored material that is applied to a tooth to restore localized or generalized defects and intrinsic discoloration. Veneer are made up of chairside composite, processed composite, porcelain and compressed ceramic materials. This evolution of material sciences, ceramics, and adhesive system permits improvements of the aesthetic smile design of patients. The current manuscript is a review that highlights the diagnostic considerations; repair and maintenance; and recent advances in veneers.

Keywords
