Systematic reviews and meta-analysis seek to answer a pre-framed research question lead valid through systematic, explicit reproducible method of locating; identifying, including appraising appropriate trials. The results are synthesized considering the methodological rigor included While quantitatively pools from individual studies, systematic review summarizes findings as qualitative conclusions. These crux evidence based dentistry for various stake-holders, i.e., clinicians, researchers...

To report the extent, pattern, clinical presentation and phenotypes of enamel hypomineralization in permanent dentition Study Design: This cross sectional observational study recruited a random sample 1726, 12-16 year olds. Enamel was scored on all teeth by calibrated examiner using EAPD 2003 criteria. Proportions affected subjects (prevalence) with minimum one Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) were calculated. following quantified i.e. MH (only FPM hypomineralization), M+IH...

Objective: To find out the safe and efficient sedative agent for primary molar pulpectomy in uncooperative pediatric patients. Study Design: This double blind randomized trial enrolled 40 anxious healthy 2-6 year olds. All subjects received IV propofol (1-1.5mg/kg) or ketofol (1-1.5 mg/kg with 0.25mg/kg ketamine) as per group assignment after oral midazolam premedication (0.5 mg/kg). Sedation maintenance was done infusion at 25-75?g/kg/min titrated to a predefined Worse level Houpt's...

To evaluate a CAMBRA based therapeutic and preventive model for high caries risk children in pediatric dentistry clinic set-up.A total of 100 systemically healthy aged 4-8 years with dmft/DMFT ≥ 5 and/or ≤ 20% magnitude cariogram sector 'chance to avoid new cavities' were enrolled. The program comprised following components i.e. assessment, customized interventions (Motivational interviewing counseling, oral prophylaxis, fluoride varnish, fissure sealants) restorative procedures. recall...

Objectives: To report the prevalence and clinical features of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in 8-12-year-old Indian schoolchildren. Study Design: A cross-sectional survey including a random sample 1,240 schoolchildren aged 8-12 years from Gautam Budh Nagar was conducted. The examination performed by single, well-trained calibrated examiner wet conditions using an artificial light source. diagnostic criteria were set as per European Academy Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) 2003 criteria....

No data is available on hypomineralization in the full complement of primary dentition.

Despite the availability of wide variety pharmacological agents for dental procedural sedation there has always been a continuous search newer sedative agents. Dexmedetomidine is agent currently approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provision short-term (<24 h) in adult patients intensive care unit (ICU) setting. It selective α2 adrenergic receptor agonist. The reports on off-label use this drug settings invasive noninvasive have provided encouraging results. Scanty published using...

Background Cancer is the second most common cause of death. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents frequent all oral neoplasms. Many treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and immunotherapy are emerging but still, patients' quality life questionable. Despite advances in therapeutic approaches, percentages morbidity mortality OSCC have not improved significantly during last 30 years. Treatment using natural products can act a potent anti-cancer agent with...

Dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge after extraction often compromises on achieving optimal implant stability and placement of implants right prosthodontic positions. These situations demand augmentation residual to achieve successful long-term survival. Although available literature speaks an overabundance techniques agents for augmentation, there is a relative paucity quality evidence guide selection suitable material. Henceforth, this paper endeavor develop describe evidence-based...

ABSTRACT The practice of the pediatric dental sedation has evolved continuously during past few decades. Newer agents seem to replace older and dentists need update themselves timely efficiently administer their young anxious patients. research is very diverse throughout world. In this paper, we attempt review diversity through a systematic review. Further, pharmacopoeia with brief description commonly used agents. We also touch upon evolution guidelines in different countries international...

Reliable and safe provision of sedation general anesthesia is dependent on continuous vigilance patient’s depth. Failure to do so may result in unintended oversedation or undersedation. It a common practice observe depth by applying subjective scales case anesthesia, practitioner vital sign assessment. The Bispectral Index System (BIS) recently introduced objective, quantitative, easy use, free from observer bias, clinically useful tool assess it precludes the need stimulate patient his...

Fracture of anterior teeth due to trauma is the most frequent type injury affecting permanent dentition.Despite availability a wide range restorative materials, none could match properties natural tooth structure like translucency, wear resistance, and color stability.Hence fragment re-attachment an excellent method restoring fractured teeth.When patient's not available, segment extracted from bank can be used as alternative.In this case study, #11 revealing Ellis' Class II fracture was...

Background: Oral cancer is a major public health concern worldwide, with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) being one of its most common subtypes. Despite advances in diagnosis and management this disease, there remains need to develop new therapeutic approaches for better outcomes. Objective: This study aimed investigate the molecular mechanisms through which cinnamoyl sulfonamide hydroxamate derivatives exert their anticancer effects on OSCC. Materials methods: The were synthesized via...

Cleft palate, a common congenital craniofacial defect, requires surgical repair and many approaches have been employed for the same to reduce risk of post-operative complications improve outcomes. In order achieve tension free closure, fracture pterygoid hamulus has advised. However, effect this manoeuvre on auditory functions remains debatable. The study was designed evaluate hamulectomy function during period after palatoplasty.
