Bioactive materials are an alternative to conventional restorative materials, which have been promising and challenging at the present time. Etchants or bonding agents not required as this bioactive material chemically binds teeth. A potent resin hydroxyapatite complex is formed due ionic interaction, further preventing microleakage. Applying citric acid maleic added advantage in removing smear layer during cavity preparation. This study uses various conditioning evaluate strength of...
Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by polymorpho nuclear neutrophils occurs in chronic periodontitis. These ROS are mainly involved bacterial destruction. However, extracellular release same results destruction surrounding tissue. Spirulina, a potent antioxidant when administered sub gingivally pockets can offer improved periodontitis patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect Spirulina delivered patients with periodontitis.Sixty were divided into 2 groups. Group I (n...
The appropriateness for determining Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) special children by their caregivers must be thoroughly assessed.The present study was conducted to assess the health related quality life with disability and stress levels parents.Moreover, also evaluated plaque, DMFT (Decayed, missing, filled teeth) BMI (Body Mass Index) disabled (cases) healthy (controls).The case-control carried out on 150 parents 30 (control group) at King Khalid University, Abha, KSA.The...
Diabetes affects the developing enamel by altering mineralization process, which can have a detrimental effect on oral health. The objectives of this study were to examine ultrastructure and composition surface in primary teeth diabetic children its clinical implications. Hundred extracted from (Test group: n = 50) healthy (Control 50), between 6 12 years age, subjected scanning electron microscopy qualitatively surface. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis was performed investigate mass...
The size and shape of a tooth vary between individuals different ethnic groups genders because the influence genetic factors. information regarding anatomical factors using maxillary anterior teeth is very scanty. Thus to give more clarity, study was planned assess correlation head circumference tooth-mesiodistal width among children origins.The carried out on 210 aged 7 12 years in schools at Abha, Saudi Arabia.The mesiodistal (MD) central incisor measured digital vernier caliper. A Meter...
The study aimed to determine the accuracy of Demirjian's original, revised, four teeth and alternate methods for age estimation in a sample Saudi population. This cross-sectional involved retrospective evaluation orthopantomographs 627 healthy children (407 males, 220 females) aged five twelve years. Dental (DA) was estimated using all methods, evaluated difference between chronological (CA) DA. Statistically significant differences CA DA were found tested (p < 0.05). In approach most...
This study aimed to validate the Willems model in a southern Saudi Arabian sample develop and an age estimation specific for population compare both models’ performance. cross-sectional involved retrospective evaluation of orthopantomographs 1206 children (658 males, 548 females) aged four fourteen years. Initially, was validated on pooled sample. Next, this split new Saudi-specific using Willem’s approach. The performance models compared. Differences between chronological (CA) estimated...
Dental caries is the localized destruction of dental hard tissues (enamel and dentine). Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index most commonly used index. Thickness outermost part tooth called enamel determined by rate deposition proteins. Relative thickness (RET) gives a measure with respect to dentine. influenced genetically factor dermatoglyphics (DG). As genes responsible for RET DG lie on same chromosome develop during time intrauterine life, it biologically plausible correlate...
Resin-based pit fissure sealants (RBS) are used to prevent occlusal caries in children. The success of RBS preventing dental is largely influenced by its retention on the tooth surface, which also affected physicomechanical properties. properties can be enhanced through addition fillers. With advent nanofillers, were improved without altering flowability. present study developed an with a 70 wt% resin matrix and 30 nanofillers. consisted urethane dimethacrylate (55 wt%), triethylene glycol...
Abstract This study aimed to synthesize and characterize chlorhexidine (CHX)‐loaded poly‐L‐glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles investigate the in vitro drug release different pH conditions, antibacterial, cytotoxicity activity, mechanical properties of CHX‐loaded PLGA‐modified Transbond XT adhesive at tooth‐bracket interface. PLGA with without CHX were synthesized using emulsion diffusion method characterized for morphology chemical structure transmission electron microscopy Raman analysis....
