Abstract

Due to the aversive taste of medications, there is said to be a struggle in making the child consume it. The ease of administration of liquid suspensions makes it accepted by parents & children for oral administration. Because of the aversive taste of medications, cariogenic sugars such as sucrose is said to be added as a flavoring agent to mask the unpleasant taste. This sucrose in the medication is said to cause dental caries. The dental professionals have the opportunity to provide advice regarding the importance of diet & the role of sugars in caries formation. The dentist should be familiarized with alternatives to sugar & the type of food products that are available to substitute with sweetening agents.

Keywords

Cariogenic Bacteria, Sweetening Agents, Sucrose, Risk Factors.

Abstract

There are two possible mechanisms for size influenced consequences of nanomaterials in preventive dentistry: one, interaction with bacterial attachment and biofilm establishment, two, the effect on de- and remineralization. As the process of demineralization begins at nanolevel, it is imperative to provide nanosized units for optimized remineralization. This is applicable for particle size-related interactions with bacteria and it’s bacterial, as the nanoparticles are more effective than microparticles. Many preparations have been developed, many of them are in the experimental state, and a few are already available. Nanoparticles for major tooth repair may progress through various stages of technological development. Many naniparticles are made available which help in teeth repair and regeneration process. This article is a review on nanomaterials for remineralisation. Which are Nano hydroxy apetite, Nano calcium fluoride, Beta Tricalcium Phosphate, nano Bioglass, Nano CCP-ACP and nano Bioinert zirconia.

Keywords

Remineralisation, Nanoparticles, Caries Prevention.

Abstract

Amalgam has been replaced by Composite restoration in clinical practice in recent years because of esthetics and improved physical and mechanical properties. But composite resin is a very technique sensitive material and clinician should be aware of the problems in restoring with composite. The principle problem in resin composite are secondary caries, post-operative sensitivity, enamel fracture, cuspal fracture, maintaining proper contour and contact, micro leakage and nano leakage resulting in debonding. Many of these problems can be controlled by the operator. This review gives us insight into difficulties and problems associated with posterior resin composite. As a clinician, it is our responsibility to understand trouble shooting in posterior composite and ways to overcome them for successful long lasting composite restoration.

Keywords

Composite Restoration, Secondary Caries, Post-Operative Sensitivity, Enamel Fracture, Debonding.

Abstract

The word Ceramic originated from the Greek term keramos meaning “potter or pottery”.

Dental ceramics have long been recognized for their similarity to dental enamel. They can be made to closely mimic the shades and textures of the natural tooth. Porcelain provides the practitioner with the clinical ability to restore a patient›s dentition to its original appearance and function. The biocompatibility and user-friendliness of dental ceramics are unmatched in any other restorative material. Demands for more esthetic and metal free restorations as well as soaring metal prices are causes for the increase in all ceramic prosthesis. (10) Over the past two decades, the use of bonded porcelain has expanded exponentially owing to the increasing demand for esthetic restorations and prosthesis. This article is an attempt to summarise the many facets of dental ceramics.

Abstract

Dental caries is an infectious microbiologic disease causing localized dissolution and destruction of the calcified tissue. It is caused by host, agent, and environmental factors. The development and progression of dental caries mainly depends on time factor. The main pathogenic species involved in the initiation and development of dental caries are S. mutans, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Actinomyces viscosus. The prevention and control of dental caries plays a major role in the status of public health. Caries vaccines have been developed to prevent and protect against dental caries. Various types of vaccines are being developed at research centres, with some kind of caries vaccines being considered to diminish or prevent dental caries among the children and adults.

Keywords

Dental Caries, Caries Caccine, Glucosyl Transferase, Mutans Streptococci.

Abstract

The complexity of the ischolar_main canal system morphology presents a continuous challenge to endodontic diagnosis and therapeutics. Root canal morphology is limitless in its variability and clinicians must be aware that anatomic variations constitute a big challenge to the endodontic success rate. A proper diagnosis using radiographs play an important role in the successful treatment of such variations. This case report presents relatively rare cases of mandibular first and second molars with single ischolar_mains and a single ischolar_main canals.

Keywords

Single Canal Mandibular Molar, Single Root.

Abstract

Root perforation is an artificial communication between the ischolar_main canal system and the supporting structures in the external ischolar_main surfaces which may causes serious implications that can even lead to extraction, however if diagnosed early and with appropriate treatment plan of the perforation will lead to long term survival of the tooth. Successful outcome of the treatment depends mainly on proper diagnosis and immediate sealing of the perforation to eliminate risk of infection. A classification of ischolar_main perforations is described in the review to assist the clinician in making a proper choice of treatment protocol.

Abstract

The Endodontic treatment of a mandibular molar with third ischolar_main can be diagnostically and technically challenging. The location of the extra canal and the curvature in its course to the apex can pose difficulty in the management of radices. This case report discusses endodontic treatment of three mandibular first molars with radix. Awareness of unusual ischolar_main canal morphology and the modifications in the management protocol can contribute to the successful outcome of endodontic treatment.

Keywords

Radix Entomolaris, Radix Paramolaris, mandibular molar.
