It is an increasingly serious problem; especially amongst the institutionalized elderly population where poor oral hygiene arises primarily from the lack of appropriate supervision and support from care staff. The prevention of caries on the root surface is targeted at the control of plaque. As it is difficult to ensure adequate plaque removal by mechanical means, there lies an interest in the use of antimicrobial agents as replacements or to be adjuncts to the mechanical approaches. Among all chemical plaque control agents, chlorhexidine has proven to be effective. Chlorhexidine (CHX) has been studied as an antimicrobial agent for the chemical control of plaque formation and the prevention of root caries. It is bactericidal at higher concentrations. Its antibacterial spectrum covers Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, yeast, and virus. The inhibition of Streptococcus mutans was persistent with CHX varnishes (CHX-V), followed by gels and mouthwashes, and also helped to control established root lesions and also reduced the root caries lesion incidence. This article provides a review regarding the effectiveness of CHX-V on the prevention of root caries.","PeriodicalId":155332,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Dental Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126218235","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}

It can be due to either skeletal or dental problems, involving one or more teeth. These crossbites can be considered as a functional problem in a young child, which may result in skeletal problems as the child transitions into permanent dentition. Often there is dilemma among the clinicians regarding the correction of these crossbites in primary and early mixed dentition periods especially owing to the child’s age and cooperative ability. This paper aims to discuss various views on early treatment of anterior crossbites in children, the treatment objectives and different treatment strategies discussed in the literature","PeriodicalId":155332,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Dental Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129623296","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 nanoparticles were incorporated into the sealers at concentration of 2 % weight/ weight. Bacterial growth rates were analysed using ANOVA followed by Fischer Exact Test Results: The antibacterial tests demonstrated significant E.faecalis growth inhibition in the DCT with the sealer samples incorporated with chitosan nanoparticles. Direct contact test showed total growth inhibition of up to 8 logs in count in AH Plus, up to 7 logs in count in Tubliseal, and up to 6 logs in count in MTA Fillapex which were incorporated with chitosan nanoparticles. Significant differences were found between the unmodified sealers and the modified sealers.

Composite resin is the traditional material of choice for use in strip crowns. ACTIVA KIDS Bio ACTIVE-RESTORATIVE is the first bioactive composite with pedo shade delivering all the chemical properties of glass-ionomer cement and physical properties of composite resins.Aim The aim of this study was to compare the fracture strengths of composite resin and ACTIVA KIDS BioActive Restorative Pulpdent USA when used with a strip crown for restoring primary anterior teeth.Methodology Twenty exfoliated non-carious human maxillary primary central and lateral incisors were selected for the study to receive strip crowns and the dimensions were standardized for all the samples. In Group I Composite resin Te-Encom Plus Ivoclar vivadent and in Group II ACTIVA Kids BioActive Restorative Pulpdent USA were used to fill the strip crowns respectively after etching and application of bonding agent. After light curing the samples strip crowns were then removed assessed for fracture strength under Universal testing machine. Fracture strength of both the groups was statistically analyzed and recorded using student ldquotrdquo test.Results The minimum to maximum force obtained was 235.08ndash682.71 N for Group 1 which when compared to Group II 167.57ndash449.29 N was higher. However fracture strength between both the groups p .062 showed no significant difference statistically. Deformation at break percentage has shown significant difference between both the groups p.004 which was higher for Group I 1.34 when compared to Group II 0.68.Conclusion The fracture strength of experimental group restored with ACTIVA Kids Bioactive Restorative was comparable with composite resin when used as a core material inside the strip crown for anterior restorations. ACTIVA Kids Bioactive Restorative can be a better material of choice compared to traditional composite resins because of its excellent chemical and physical properties. The data also showed the fracture strength of ACTIVA Kids Bioactive Restorative to be comparable to composite resins.","PeriodicalId":155332,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Dental Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129112938","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}

CRP is an extremely sensitive marker for inflammation and its levels have been shown to be associated with periodontal inflammation. IL-6 has been shown to affect the production of CRP. To associate periodontal inflammation to any systemic disease it is necessary to quantify the amount of inflamed periodontal tissues. A new measure Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area (PISA) has been developed for the same. In the light of the above mentioned facts this study is designed to assess serum and GCF levels of CRP and IL-6 and correlate these with PISA in patients affected by chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: A total of 45 systemically healthy patients with chronic periodontitis participated in the study. Periodontal parameters, i.e BI, PI, CI, mean CAL and PISA (using spreadsheet by Huojel et al,2000) were recorded for all patients. GCF and serum samples were harvested from all subjects and samples were stored and analyzed for CRP and IL-6 using ELISA kits. Results: The PI, BI, CI and mean CAL had a positive correlation with PISA. BI and mean CAL had a significantly positive correlation with PISA (p<0.05). PISA also had a positive correlation with GCF levels of CRP (r=0.098, p=0.57), serum CRP levels (r=0.14, p=0.42), GCF IL-6 (r=0.89, p=0.61) and a significantly positive correlation was seen between PISA and serum levels of IL-6 (r=0.41, p=0.014). Also, there was a positive correlation between GCF and serum levels of CRP and IL-6. The serum levels of CRP and IL-6 had a significantly positive correlation (r=0.39, p=0.02). Conclusion: Higher PISA values were associated with higher serum levels of the inflammatory markers., thus proving that PISA could probably be used to correlate the local inflammatory burden with the systemic inflammatory burden.","PeriodicalId":155332,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Dental Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117028295","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}
