Materials and methods: Forty orthodontically extracted single-rooted premolars were selected. The teeth were decoronated and were then divided into four groups (n = 10). In group I, samples were left unprepared and unfilled (negative control), in group II, samples were prepared and left unobturated (positive control), in group III, samples were prepared and obturation was done with Cpoint (F3) and endosequence bioceramic sealer, and in group IV, samples were prepared and obturation was done with Protaper gutta percha (F3) and endosequence bioceramic sealer. Then, the samples were kept for 1 week at 37°C and 100% humidity. All roots were then sectioned at 2 mm from the apex. Additional cross sections at a 4 mm level were made in groups III and IV. Then, the sections were observed under a scanning electron microscope and the presence of dentinal microcracks was checked. Results: There was statistically nonsignificant difference for a mean number of microcracks in the samples after obturation with CPoint and gutta percha. Conclusion: CPoint can be used as an alternative to gutta percha as it provides better seal because of its lateral hygroscopic expansion without causing significant damage to the dentinal microstructure. Clinical significance: In spite of gutta percha being the gold standard in obturating material, still the desired hermetic seal could not be achieved. To achieve this attainable goal, a new material CPoint had been introduced, which has the ability to undergo hygroscopic expansion within the root canal.

Materials and methods: A total of 40 extracted permanent molars with occlusal caries were selected for this study. These teeth were split at the center of carious lesion buccolingually, in order to obtain two similar halves. Thus, 80 samples were obtained in this way and were randomly divided into 2 groups of 40 samples each. Caries was removed using conventional burs in group I and polymer bur Smartprep (SS white) in group II. The time involved in caries removal was measured for both the groups. After excavation of all carious lesions, the samples were decalcified, dehydrated, and embedded in paraffin wax from which thin sections of 5 μm were obtained, which were histologically evaluated for bacterial presence under a light microscope. Results: An intergroup comparison between conventional bur (group I) and smart bur (group II) showed a statistically nonsignificant difference in terms of the presence of microorganisms after caries removal with a p value of 0.073638 (p > 0.05). However, the time taken for caries removal was significantly more for smart burs than diamond burs with a p value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The polymer burs were found to be as effective as the conventional burs in terms of microbial presence after caries removal, but are more time-consuming than conventional burs.

Materials and methods: A total of 150 children of age group 6-12 years were selected and divided into three equal groups. Group I constituted of 50 CP caries-active children, group II constituted of 50 healthy caries active children, and group III consisted of 50 healthy caries-free children. World Health Organization (WHO) criteria were used for diagnosis and recording of decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT)/deft scores. Fingerprints of both hands were taken using a stamp pad and analyzed using the Cummin and Midlo method. Results: The results were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD). The data for the entire study were calculated using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) statistical software 19.0 version. The mean DMFT/ deft score was the highest for the CP caries-active group compared to the healthy caries-active and healthy caries-free children. Dermatoglyphic pattern distribution in the CP caries-active group showed more whorls and that in the healthy caries-free group showed more arches. Intergroup comparisons for DMFT/deft and dermatoglyphic patterns were significant except between CP caries-active children and healthy caries-active children. Conclusion: Association of dermatoglyphics and dental caries was observed among CP caries-active children, healthy caries-active children, and healthy caries-free children. This association can be helpful in identifying the possible genetic predisposition and early prediction of dental caries in CP children, so as to initiate oral health measures at an early stage. Clinical significance: Maintaining oral hygiene has always been a challenge in children because of many difficulties like behavior management and lack of dexterity, and it becomes all the more difficult in the case of children with special needs. Dermatoglyphics can be proven to be a very useful, noninvasive, and economical tool for the preliminary diagnosis of diseases of suspected genetic origin like dental caries and CP.

So a novel idea to use these herbs for pulpectomy; was implemented. There are chances of failure of pulpectomy due to inefficient removal of microbial load. Thus, for a successful endodontic treatment, obturating material with optimum antimicrobial properties is advocated in the present study. To compare and evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of zinc oxide eugenol, zinc oxide with tulsi extract and zinc oxide with aloe vera as obturating materials against E. faecalis bacteria. Antimicrobial efficacy of zinc oxide eugenol as control, zinc oxide with tulsi extract and zinc oxide with aloe vera as experimental groups were assessed by using agar diffusion method. The statistical analysis was done. Intergroup comparison revealed significant difference amongst all the groups except between zinc oxide eugenol and zinc oxide with tulsi extract. Zinc oxide eugenol had significantly higher zone of inhibition among all the groups. According to results obtained from the present study can be summarized as follows: Zinc oxide eugenol &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; Zinc oxide with tulsi extract &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; Zinc oxide with aloe vera.

Occlusal surfaces of 100 primary and permanent molars were examined using the four diagnostic systems (visual, intraoral camera, DIAGNOdent, and DIAGNOdent with dye). These results were compared with operative intervention gold standard. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for each diagnostic system for both enamel and dentin caries. Interrater agreement was calculated for each diagnostic system using kappa statistics. For both enamel and dentin caries, the highest sensitivity values were provided by DIAGNOdent (0.91 and 0.72) and lowest for visual examination on wet surface (0.60 and 0.50). For both enamel and dentin caries, the specificity was found to be highest for intraoral camera on dry surface and lowest for visual examina...

Recently, enormous growth has been seen in the recognition of stem cell-based therapies, which have the potential to ameliorate the life of patients with conditions that span from Parkinson's disease to cardiac ischemia to bone or tooth loss. This research has produced new but unexplored possibilities in the regeneration of different organs and tissues. Presently, research is focused on the proficiency of stem cells and their utilization in dentistry, which is gaining interest. The tooth is nature's "esteem" for these precious stem cells and there are a number of these cells in permanent and primary teeth, as well as in the wisdom teeth. Dental stem cells are easy, convenient, and affordable to collect. They hold promise for a range of very potential therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of cancer, spinal cord injury, brain damage, myocardial infarction, hearing loss, diabetes, wound healing, baldness, etc. Since these cells were used to regenerate damaged tissue in medical therapy successfully, it is possible that the dentist in future might use stem cell to regenerate lost or damaged dental and periodontal structures. This paper reviews the current concepts, characteristics of stem cells in regeneration, and its subsequent uses in dentistry.
