Photocatalytic activity of this composite material was evaluated by C. albicans assays after exposing to visible light at different time periods. Materials and Methods: VLA nanoparticles of TiO2 were synthesized by two different methods peroxide based technique using TiN (Type A) and scrap alloy left over after dental casting of Ti alloy as a precursor (Type B). The as-prepared powders (Type A and B) were annealed for 600°C for 2 h and crystalline anatase form of nanoparticles were obtained. All four forms of nanoparticles were subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to evaluate the physical properties of the materials. As-prepared Type A and both forms of Type B nanoparticles did not match the standard patterns of VLA TiO2 on XRD analysis, and these forms were discarded. Only the crystalline anatase form of Type A TiO2 nanoparticles was tested for antifungal activity. Test specimens were prepared using plain acrylic resin as control and an acrylic resin containing nanoparticles. The anti candidal activity was assessed after exposing specimen to visible light followed by counting the number of colony forming units of C. albicans. The results obtained were analyzed using IBMM-SPSS-STATISTICS software. Friedman Test and Wilcoxon signed ranks test were done to analyze if counts differed significantly between different time periods and to compare the difference between the means of different time periods, respectively. Results: Statistically significant inhibition of C. albicans was demonstrated by CAAT when compared with controls at any specified time interval. Conclusion: VLA nanoparticles of CAAT showed superior activity in reducing the number of colonies of C. albicans combined with DBM over a period of time.","PeriodicalId":116198,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academy of Advanced Dental Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114212888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Friedl","doi":"10.1177/2229411220160104","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/2229411220160104","url":null,"abstract":"Objectives: Oil pulling is the act of swishing oil in the mouth and has been gaining popularity in recent years as people turn to the internet for natural health-improving home remedies. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of oil pulling on whitening teeth in vitro. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 human de-identified extracted teeth were separated into groups of six. Each tooth had an intact crown with no restorations, and each group consisted of one molar, one pre-molar, two canines, and two incisors. Teeth were placed into a plastic tube with 15 ml of phosphate-buffered saline and 15 ml of commercially available coconut, sesame, or sunflower oil. As controls teeth were treated with 15% H2O2 or saline alone. The tubes were vigorously shaken for 20 min, and then the teeth were washed and stored in saline overnight. This process was repeated for 14 days to simulate the oil pulling instructions available on the web. Tooth shades were measured before and after treatment using a VITA Easyshade® Compact, in both the classical A1-D4 shade guide format as well as in CIELAB color space. A statistical analysis was completed using ANOVA with Tukey post-test and significance set at P < 0.05. Results: All six teeth treated with H2O2 showed an increase in value (brightness or lightness) of three to seven shade values. For teeth treated with saline, or sesame oil two teeth of the six showed an increase in three shade values. For coconut and sunflower oil, no teeth showed any change in shade value. Conclusions: This in vitro study suggests that despite claimed oral benefits of oil pulling, and anecdotal internet information that it can whiten teeth, there is no evidence to suggest that coconut, sesame, or sunflower oils have any effect on the whitening of teeth.","PeriodicalId":116198,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academy of Advanced Dental Research","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116161600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the accumulation of bacteria on the surface of the implant develops the inflammation of mucous. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of CO2 laser with 2.0% chlorhexidine in a laboratory environment for eradicating Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: The effect of CO2 Laser was evaluated 5, 10, and 15 s after exposure to the standard suspension of bacterium at 24 and 48 h intervals and were cultured until the logarithmic phase and CO2 laser radiation with the wavelengths of 6 and 10 μm and energy density of 12.5 J/cm2 were radiated at a distance of 17 mm. Chlorhexidine 0.2% also was assessed at 5, 10, 15, and 60 s on the pathogens. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean ± standard deviation) and repeated measures ANOVA using SPSS 17. The P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: CO2 laser radiation was effective at all <15 s radiations on reducing both types of bacteria while the average numbers of S. aureus which were affected by 15 s of laser radiation and 60 s of chlorhexidine showed statistically significant difference (P = 0.014). The numbers of P. aeruginosa bacteria in the group which was exposed by laser for 15 s and the group which was treated by chlorhexidine were zero. Whereas, the average number of bacteria of laser treated group was lower than 0.2% chlorhexidine at both groups of bacteria. Laser radiation removed 100% of bacteria after 15 s in both groups of the bacteria. Conclusions: Findings of the present study indicate that laser irradiation for 15 s had equal results with chlorhexidine and more effective than 60 s treatment with chlorhexidine.","PeriodicalId":116198,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academy of Advanced Dental Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129905091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uric acid contributes approximately 70-85% antioxidative capacity of saliva of healthy as well as periodontally compromised individuals. Aim: Purpose of this study was to estimate and compare the salivary uric acid level of healthy individuals and that of smokers and non-smokers with periodontitis. Materials and Methods: Unstimulated whole saliva samples were collected from 30 subjects divided into three groups (10 healthy without periodontitis; 10 smokers with periodontitis, and 10 non-smokers with periodontitis) by employing exclusion criteria. The salivary uric acid level was measured by the enzymatic method. All values were reported as mean and standard deviations. Differences in mean salivary uric acid levels between the three groups were compared by Analysis of variance test and Scheffe’s multiple comparison tests. The level of significance was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: Mean salivary uric acid levels of 5.39 ± 1.49 mg/dl, 3.01 ± 0.68 mg/dl, and 2.00 ± 0.57 mg/dl were observed among periodontally healthy, non-smokers with periodontitis, and smokers with periodontitis groups, respectively. Significantly higher mean salivary uric acid levels in periodontally healthy group was observed as compared to smoker and non-smoker groups with periodontitis (P = 0.001). Conclusion: Salivary uric acid levels reduced significantly among smoker and non-smoker periodontitis patients compared to periodontally healthy individuals. Therefore, uric acid level in saliva could be a helpful estimator of the oxidative stress produced by smoking and periodontitis.","PeriodicalId":116198,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academy of Advanced Dental Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123053328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An attending doctor’s role, in an infant’s oral health is very pivotal as they are the first health care professionals to come in contact with the infants. Hence, it is very important for them, to have sound knowledge. However, previous studies reveal a lack of that knowledge. Aim: To evaluate the knowledge and attitude of medical students about IOH. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire based cross-sectional study was conducted among 350 medical students of final year and internship, who belonged to 7 randomly selected medical colleges of Karnataka. The questionnaire consisting of 20 validated questions and was personally distributed to the students. Their responses were collected and scored. Descriptive statistical analysis was done, and individual scores were tested using Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test’s using SPSS software. Results: The findings of the study revealed that majority of the medical students’ knowledge and attitude on IOH was fair to poor, and most of them indicated that the hours of training pertaining to dental specialty were insufficient (56%). Conclusion: This study suggests that the level of knowledge and attitude of the graduating medical participants is inadequate, which may have further implication on the IOH. It can be suggested that greater inclusion of oral health education in the medical curriculum would be beneficial.","PeriodicalId":116198,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academy of Advanced Dental Research","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114181836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
