This study aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of medicinal herbs for chronic periodontitis by examining molecular interactions between specific herbal compounds and heme-binding protein Porphyromonas gingivalis, a key pathogen involved in disease.

Non-surgical endodontic retreatment is to be a conservative option over surgery in case of recurrent infections. Root canal procedures needs initiated faster and proficiently with proper root files. The main aim this study evaluate the remaining dentin thickness post Gutta Percha (GP) retrieval from after using two different rotary instruments. A total sixty extracted single rooted teeth were chosen. Shaping Cleaning was done Step Back (Telescopic) technique apical preparation size 40 k...

Fiber posts are broadly used due to their good esthetics and elasticity close that of dentin, which allows for uniform stress distribution within a root lowers the possibility nonrestorable fractures.The study assessed layer cement thickness interfacial nanoleakage luted fiber were fabricated with CAD/CAM technology following direct scanning post space (DS) method, polyether impression (IS), plaster model (MS).Ninety premolars chosen randomly assigned three groups according technique. Posts...

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Intracanal calcium hydroxide removal with different techniques. Materials and methods:Seventy-five freshly extracted, non-carious, single canalled lower first premolars, having anatomic characteristics similar each other, extracted for orthodontic purpose were collected.After root canal preparation, Calcium was placed into working length using lentulo spiral instrument till medicament visible at apex.The specimens segregated three groups;...
