Once inside the root canal, bacteria of different species organize into a network and communicate with each other to withstand the chemical and physical disturbances during the treatment. They cause extraradicular infections that do not respond to conventional endodontic therapies. Bacteria present on the surface of root canals organize into a framework consisting of the matrix, bacteria, and water. The matrix consists of extracellular polysaccharide, which varies with the species that secrete them. It also contains proteins, fatty acids, and extracellular DNA, which help in the growth of the matrix, survival, and pathogenesis of organisms. Microorganisms entering the root canals should survive the nitric oxide rich, oxygen stressed, and nutrient-deprived environment. They should also resist the chemical and mechanical disturbances created during endodontic treatment to enable their persistence in the root canals. This review aims to discuss biofilm formation and the mechanisms by which it helps in bacterial survival in root canals.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"57 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42211241","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}

Through this study, we measured the level of perception of dentists to ADHD. Methodology: A survey questionnaire was sent to 380 IDA members in the Gujarat branch as part of a cross-sectional study. The first part of the survey includes demographic data about the participants, then questions about ADHD knowledge and management. The data were uploaded into a computer and evaluated with SPSS software. The level of significance was set at P = 0.05, and any value below or equal to 0.05 was deemed statistically significant. Results: The participants had a good knowledge of ADHD; however, dental practitioners need to be more aware of dealing with such patients. The majority of participants lacked the necessary expertise to treat them, but they were still ready to provide dental treatment to people with ADHD as part of their dental practice. There was a significant correlation between work experience and years of practice. Conclusion: Appropriate training should be provided to dentists so they can treat patients with ADHD. To raise dentists' understanding of ADHD, well-planned programs and explicit policies should be developed using the current findings.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"102 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41947808","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}

Pearson Chi-square test was used to investigate the associations between pulp calcification and gender, age, tooth type, dental arches, and their location. Results: The statistical analysis showed that pulp calcification increased significantly from 35.30% to 50% (P < 0.05). They were significantly higher in mandibular molars than in maxillary molars. Radicular and coronal calcifications were present concomitantly in maximum cases followed by radicular and coronal pulp calcification occurring independently.

Full-mouth rehabilitation by integrating cone-beam computed tomography data three-dimensional printing technology helps in precise placement and predictable outcomes to the longevity of implants. Six immediate implants were placed in the lower arch using digitally guided surgery. Computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacture milled temporary prosthesis was also given within 24 h of the surgery. After allowing for osseointegration, the final prosthesis was made up of materials such as titanium (primary bar), PEEK (secondary bar), and high-impact polymer composite crowns. Splinting all the implants together with such framework designs reduces the loads on implants and addition of two bars produces a dampening effect and helps long-term survival of the same. Strategies used to preserve alveolar bone and soft tissue by immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets shorten the treatment span. Immediate loading of implants using temporary prosthesis can be done after attaining adequate primary stability. This case has a follow-up of 6 years. The milled double bars made out of titanium and BioHPP h provide dampening effect and thus long-term survival of the implant.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"45 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47196464","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}

Materials and Methods: This retrospective analysis focuses on patients under the age of 18 years who were admitted to an inpatient department with maxillofacial fractures over a 3-year time at a Bangladeshi tertiary health-care center. The following variables were assessed: gender distribution, etiology of trauma, and anatomic site of fractures. Results: The majority of the 90 patients were boys (77.78%), with an average age of 12.9 years (standard deviation, 4.51 years). The result showed a ratio of 3.5:1 between males and females. The majority of patients (56.67%) were between the ages of 13 and 18 years. There was no statistically meaningful relationship (P > 0.05) between the age of the patients and their gender. Road traffic accidents (RTAs; 75.56% of maxillofacial fractures) were the most common cause, followed by accidental falls (13.33%). Mandible fractures were the most prevalent (70%), followed by zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC; 14.45%) and mid-face fractures (5.55%). The parasymphysis (17.78%) and body (16.68%) of the mandible were the two most common unilateral fracture sites.
