Sophisticated prefabricated removable functional appliances known as pre-orthodontic trainers have been shown to train the orofacial musculature, thus correcting malocclusions.\u0000CASE DESCRIPTION: This is a case report of 9-year-old boy diagnosed as Class II division 1 malocclusion with protruded upper anterior teeth, constricted upper arch, space loss in lower arch and Class 2 molar relation on side. Functional treatment approach was decided using pre orthodontic T4K trainer for 12 months. At the end of this phase of treatment, improvements have been evaluated with lateral cephalograms superimposition between T1 and T2.\u0000DISCUSSION: Class II orthopaedic treatment along with the use of functional appliances by early interception assist in addressing the concerns with soft tissues, muscles, mouth respiration, and bruxism. The pre orthodontic trainer allowed a good dento-skeletal result as it had a major effect on the masticatory muscles after 12 months application which helped in obtaining a good esthetic outcome for the patient.\u0000CONCLUSIONS: The use of prefabricated functional appliance in children can be an advantageous method for early treatment of class II malocclusions with functional patterns as these devices influences masticatory muscle which help in molding the facial tissues and a viable alternative to braces for treating malocclusions in children because it stimulates the development of the dental arches transversely to stop the progression of the malocclusion. Therefore, when a lack of transverse development is discovered at a young age, this appliance is an invaluable tool for enhancing dental arch development, interceptive management of malocclusion, and oral habits.","PeriodicalId":222181,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pedodontic Rehabilitation","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121305260","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}

Recurrent root canal infections are most frequently linked to Enterococcus faecalis and can happen even after endodontic therapy. E. faecalis can resist routine endodontic disinfectants and can also survive the nutrient-deprived conditions in the root filled tooth. So, an attempt has been made to eliminate the microorganisms using the herbal extracts which have antimicrobial properties and comparing it with the well accepted and excellent antimicrobial agent 2% chlorhexidine.\u0000Aim: To compare Syzygium aromaticum (Clove) and Punica granatum (Pomegranate) extracts with 2% chlorhexidine in dentinal tubule disinfection with Real-time polymerase chain reaction which was used to detect E. faecalis.\u0000Methods: Thirty-six extracted premolar teeth were selected, access cavity was prepared and cleaning and shaping was done. With the help of a rotating diamond disc bur, the middle part of the root was sliced. E. faecalis was applied to the tooth specimens and left on them for 21 days. Group 1 specimens had pomegranate extract, Group 2 contained clove extract, and Group 3 contained 2% CHX. After being watered by the corresponding groups, the specimens were incubated for 5 days. A Gates-Glidden drill was used to collect the dentinal shavings, which were then subjected to DNA isolation before being subjected to real-time PCR analysis.\u0000Statistical analysis used: The results were statistically analyzed using one way ANOVA and Post hoc Tukey's analysis.\u0000Results: Threshold cycle (Ct) values showed greater inhibition of bacterial load with pomegranate extracts followed by 2% chlorhexidine. Lesser reduction of bacterial load was found with clove extract.\u0000Conclusion: Pomegranate extract, an herbal extract with therapeutic potential which can be utilised as an efficient substitute for 2% CHX for treating E. fecalis.\u0000 Keywords: Clove; Pomegranate; E.

Endodontic files were introduced recently for exclusive use in deciduous dentition. Hence, the aim of the present comparative study was to assess the cleaning efficacy of manual and rotary endodontic files in deciduous molars.\u0000Methods and materials: Sixty canals of recently extracted deciduous molars were selected which did not have more than one-third of their root length resorbed. Following working length determination, India ink dye was injected into all the canals. They were arbitrarily allocated into two groups; Group I: Kedo-SH manual files (n=30) and Group II: Kedo-S rotary files (n=30), for the purpose of instrumentation. The root canals were cleared of debris and sections prepared. The sections were examined under a stereomicroscope under 40X magnification for removal of India ink at different thirds and given scores. Data was subjected to statistical analysis using Student t test and ANOVA. Level of significance was 5%.\u0000Results: Both file systems resulted in superior cleaning of the coronal and apical section of the canals. The average scores for coronal and middle sections of the root canals with Kedo-SH manual files (9.5 ± 8.062; 10.75 ± 10.31, respectively) were significantly higher than that of Kedo-S rotary files (5± 6.63; 6.05 ±7.5, respectively) (p<0.05).\u0000Conclusion: Root canals prepared with Kedo-S rotary files showed significant superiorly clean root canals than those prepared using Kedo-SH manual files.\u0000Keywords: Kedo-S, Kedo-SH files, deciduous molars, pulpectomy, root canal instrumentation.","PeriodicalId":222181,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pedodontic Rehabilitation","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134016365","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}

With new concepts emerging in prevention and management of caries, Ozone therapy is tool to prevent and manage dental caries. The use of ozone (O3) gas as a therapy is skeptical due to unstable structure. The main beneficial effect of ozone is its antibacterial effect against various bacteria. These antibacterial effects are even attributed to the prevention and management of caries.
