The survey tool consisted of four sections, which included demographic data, oral health behaviour, and 14-item Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD-14) questionnaire and dentition status. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: The sample comprised 461 adults, among which 51.6% (238) were males and 48.4% (223) were females. The total mean Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) score of the study population was 3.52 ± 1.6. Subjects consuming tobacco had a significantly higher mean DMFT (4.0 ± 1.8) ( P = 0.001) and missing teeth component scores (0.4 ± 0.0) ( P = 0.004). Subjects with high HeLD-14 scores had lower DMFT values; likewise, the number of decayed, missing teeth was also lower, whereas the filled component was higher on the other hand for individuals with lower HeLD-14 scores. Based on education level and socio-economic status, the total mean DMFT was higher for subjects with university degree (3.6 ± 1.6) and those who were belonging to middle class (4.7 ± 0.6) on the socio-economic scale.Conclusion: In this study, older participants with a higher level of education having fair and poor oral hygiene had significantly higher odds of high OHL. In this study, low OHL levels directly affected the oral health status.","PeriodicalId":13311,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dental Research","volume":" ","pages":"268-272"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145540355","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}

Additionally, rotary NiTi files treated with silver ions are effective in eliminating pathogens and enhancing the biocompatibility of root canals. This data indicates that these materials could greatly reduce the likelihood of reinfection post-treatment, thereby improving patient outcomes.Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the anti-microbial efficacy, cutting efficiency, canal shaping ability and cyclic fatigue of a nickel-titanium rotary file system coated with silver metal ions.Materials and methods: Silver deposition was achieved using the electroplating technique. A sample of 10 mandibular first molars was weighed with a high-precision analytical balance prior to preparation. The weight differentials before and after preparation indicated debris loss, serving as a parameter for cutting efficiency. Microtomographic analyses were conducted to assess canal shaping ability. For cyclic fatigue assessment, the instruments were securely held without pressure in an acrylic block featuring a pre-formed canal and were monitored until fracture occurred.Results: The utilisation of silver-ion-coated endodontic files resulted in a reduction of bacterial colony-forming units, enhanced cutting efficiency and preserved canal shaping ability compared to NiTi rotary files. The resistance to cyclic fatigue in silver-ion-coated NiTi files exceeded that of traditional NiTi files.Conclusion: The integration of silver ions into NiTi rotary files confers inherent anti-microbial properties, as well as increased cutting efficiency and enhanced cyclic fatigue resistance.","PeriodicalId":13311,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dental Research","volume":" ","pages":"344-348"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145889311","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}

Therefore, the choice of cementation material has an important effect on SSC retention.Aim: To evaluate the retention strength of SSCs luted on primary molars with glass ionomer cement (GIC), resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) and resin-based cement.Materials and methods: A total of 45 freshly extracted human primary molars were prepared to receive SSCs and randomly divided into three equal groups, to receive the different luting cements: conventional glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer and resin luting cement. The teeth were then stored in artificial saliva for 24 h. The retentive strength of the crowns was determined using a specially designed Universal Testing Machine.Statistical analysis: To compare the mean retentive strength between cements, ANOVA with post hoc test was applied.Results: Mean retentive strength for GC GOLD Label 1 group was 230.30 ± 13.46; GC FujiCEM group was 194.78 ± 13.03; and 269.25 ± 11.28 for the GC G-CEM One group.

Traditional treatment modalities, such as bone grafting and endosseous implants, are often associated with complications, prolonged rehabilitation periods, and patient dissatisfaction. The aim of this study is to introduce a novel technique for managing patients with severely resorbed ridges. This case report presents a 64-year-old edentulous female with severe jawbone atrophy, successfully treated using custom subperiosteal implants (SPIs) fabricated with advanced additive manufacturing techniques. The SPIs, designed based on the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, provided stable prosthetic support without the need for invasive bone grafting. The patient's treatment plan, included the placement of custom implants, implant-retained overdentures, and a 2-year follow-up, which revealed satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes with no complications. Advancements in SPI design, particularly the use of selective laser melting and finite element analysis, have significantly improved clinical outcomes and reduced the incidence of complications. This case highlights custom SPIs as a viable, minimally invasive alternative for the management of severely resorbed jaws, yielding satisfactory clinical results.","PeriodicalId":13311,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dental Research","volume":" ","pages":"243-245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144698443","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}

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of 0.2% hyaluronic acid gel and 24% EDTA gel as root conditioning agents on instrumented root surfaces of periodontally involved teeth using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).Materials and methods: In the present study, periodontally affected single-rooted teeth were selected. With a Gracey curette (5/6), root planing of root surfaces was done. A total of 30 samples were obtained from the cervical two-thirds of the root using hard tissue microtome. The samples were divided into three groups: GROUP - A: only scaling and root planing (SRP), GROUP - B: SRP + 24% EDTA, GROUP - C: SRP + 0.2% hyaluronic acid. The respective conditioning agents were applied on the specimens by the passive burnishing technique with a cotton pellet for 3 minutes. The samples were examined using an SEM. The results obtained were recorded and statistically analysed.Results: The results revealed that the root conditioning agents used in this study were effective in removing the smear layer and increasing the total number and diameter of the dentinal tubules. Among them, 24% EDTA was more effective than 0.2% hyaluronic acid ( P value < 0.05 - statistically significant).Conclusion: The use of root conditioning agents increased the number of dentinal tubules opening.
