Minimal inhibitory bactericidal concentrations determined. Antibacterial activity evaluated using standard well diffusion method. Anti-inflammatory...

Erosive beverages cause dissolution of natural teeth and intra-oral restorations, resulting in surface characteristic changes, particularly roughness degradation. The purpose this study was to evaluate the topography a dental ceramic following immersion locally available erosive solutions. A total 160 disc specimens nano-fluorapatite type (12 mm diameter 2 thickness) were fabricated equally distributed into two groups (

The supracrestal tissue attachment (SCTA) is the new terminology for biologic width. SCTA defined as physiologic dimension of a solitary functional unit composed junctional epithelium and connective attachment. Its preservation critical well-being periodontal health. has been widely studied scientific literature indicative its significance during placement restoration, including prosthetic crowns. This should be taken care in cases anterior teeth within smile zone, where dental crowns are...

A BSTRACT Aim of the Study: The aim this in vitro study was to evaluate effect resin infiltration technique and remineralization induced enamel caries with fluoride solution on color masking white spot lesions surface roughness. Materials Methods: total 45 sound teeth were used study. All sectioned along long axes into two halves, lingual buccal get 90 specimens. specimens immersed a demineralized for 7 days. divided randomly three equal groups ( n = 30) according type treatment; Group 1...

Background: This study aimed to assess the knowledge about guidelines related COVID-19 infection control procedures among dental health care professionals (DHCPs) in Jazan region. Methods: A cross-sectional involving DHCPs (dental students, interns, and dentists) of region between January March 2021. questionnaire with 35 items was developed circulated online DHCPs. The dimensionality assessed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). level awareness (LOA) compared across genders,...

A BSTRACT Herbal composite preparation was studied with the aim of inhibiting virulence factors two dental pathogens: Prevotella intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis . novel herbal developed using extracts Wrightia tinctoria Bauhinia variegata During study, following observations were noted. The minimal inhibitory concentration composites (WBc) obtained for test 20 μg/ml (16 ± 0.57 mm 15 0.75 zones against , respectively). Biofilm inhibition assay results revealed about 0.51 1.25 mg/ml...

The prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) varies worldwide. In Saudi Arabia, data about this condition is limited to a few cities.

Endodontic procedures require precise manipulation and visualization to achieve optimal treatment outcomes. Magnification enhanced tools, such as dental loupes operating microscopes (DOMs), have been introduced enhance precision in endodontic practice.

Background: Immediate implant is a subtype of that placed following tooth extraction within the socket without further delay. These implants are known to preserve alveolar bone and minimize total number surgical interventions in patient. 4 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) augments nonsurgical periodontal using antibacterial mechanisms. PTD can be more effective conjunction with scaling root planing (SRP). The aim this study assess effects PDT on early outcomes patients periodontitis SRP at 9...

Background: Sequential chemical application for irrigating a root canal during chemomechanical debridement can affect the dentin microstructure. Understanding effects of various irrigants on properties elucidate their physical and thereby explain higher incidence structural failure in endodontically treated teeth. This vitro research aimed to compare evaluate three different solutions structure extracted human Methods: Forty-eight single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth were sectioned at...
