Even though, the role of irrigants in controlling pathogens is well established, there is a chance for drug resistance and cytotoxicity in using chemical irrigants, Therefore newer researches have forced the man to look the herbal way. Aim of the Study: To assess and the antimicrobial effects of nonherbal and herbal root canal irrigants on E. faecalis. Methodology: The study was conducted on 110 permanent extracted human teeth. Culture suspension of E. faecalis was inoculated in each root canal and were divided randomly into groups, (i): Herbal group [QMixTM 2 in 1, Endoseptone, Biopure mixture of tetracycline, acid and detergent (MTAD)] and (ii) Nonherbal group (Morinda citrifolia juice, Triphala juice, Coconut milk), and control group (Sodium hypochlorite and Distilled water). Colony forming units (CFUs) were evaluated and counted at baseline (S0), immediately after irrigation (S1) and after 3 days (S2). The obtained mean of log CFU was compared using Friedman's two-way ANOVA. Results: There was a significant reduction in CFU counts in both herbal and nonherbal group. The greatest antimicrobial effects were observed in nonherbal group against E. faecalis. Conclusion: The overall antimicrobial effects of different irrigants were maximum for the nonherbal group, whereas the herbal group also showed significant reductions. The herbal irrigants hold the promise of becoming efficient irrigants and warrant further research.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136217031","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}

Aim and Objective: This study aims to assess and evaluate the attitude, knowledge, and perception of measures against radiation protection of ionizing radiation in 310 dental students in a dental college. Background: A piece of sound knowledge on protection measures from radiation is essential among dental professionals in modern dental practices. The use of imaging modalities has become inadvertent and increased exponentially during recent years in the era of dentistry. Methodology: A 20- E- questionnaire was prepared in google forms after validation from external experts in the field of oral medicine and radiology and were shared to 310 participants comprising of 89 CRRIS, 99 third year BDS graduates, 90 final year BDS graduates, 32 Postgraduates. The responses were recorded, the descriptive statistics were determined in terms of frequencies and percentages. Conclusion: Out of 310 dental undergraduates, 127 participants (40.97%) stated that the film is held in the mouth of the patient with their hand during radiation exposure and stated the lack of sound knowledge on the effects of radiation among dental undergraduates. Increased awareness and sound knowledge regarding protection measures on radiation during dental training is important for providing better radiation protection measures during practice in dentistry. One hundred and forty-nine (48.06%) answered that high-speed film does not reduce radiation exposure. This shows the lack of piece of sound knowledge about the optimization principle of protection from ionizing radiation among dental undergraduates, which states that the higher the speed of X-ray film, the lower the radiation exposure.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"10 1","pages":"13 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48657852","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}

Many patients cannot afford CBCT due to its cost-effectiveness and time-consuming procedure, and hence, a software was introduced to limit radiation exposure, where all preoperative and postoperative RVGs were placed in a software to measure its osseous defect and bone formation. This technique is introduced to reduce the exposure time to patients as well as for diagnosis of osseous defects radiographically to clinicians. This software can also be used in other fields of dentistry also.

Human anatomy is an integral part of dental surgery courses worldwide. Right from diagnosis to the point of treatment, thorough knowledge of human anatomy is critical. Thus, it is important to understand the link between preclinical anatomical knowledge and dentistry and implement it in clinical practice. Unfortunately, anatomy is considered a preclinical subject and is neglected by students and faculty. The following study aimed to assess and understand the attitude of dental students and dental practitioners toward knowledge of human anatomy for routine clinical practice. Methods: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on 187 dental students and dental clinicians of a reputed Dental College situated in the Navi Mumbai Region. Results: More than 85% of respondents had a liking toward anatomical dissections. More than 80% of the respondents felt that the knowledge of human anatomy is a prerequisite for practicing clinical dentistry. Conclusion: In the present study, it was found that anatomy is a prerequisite for routine clinical dentistry. Although newer technologies are now being incorporated into the system, they seem to supplement the traditional cadaveric methods of dissection. However, there is a need for more in-depth implementation of horizontal and vertical integration into the dental curriculum to produce more clinically competent dental surgeons.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135312417","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: The present study was conducted as a cross-sectional study among the general population of Karnataka, India. A self-administered semistructured questionnaire consisting of a total of 18 questions were used to assess knowledge and awareness about dentist and orthodontist and knowledge about orthodontic treatment among urban and rural female population. The data were entered into Excel and were analyzed using IBM SPSS statistics V. 22. Results: In the present study, a total of 200 females participated comprising 100 participants in each rural and urban population. When awareness about dentist was assessed, 98% of urban population were aware of difference between general medical and dental profession compared to rural populations (65%). 85% of urban and 68% of rural population believed that healthy and well-arranged teeth are important for the good facial appearance. 45% of urban population and 18% of rural population had knowledge about orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: There is a moderate level of awareness among the female patients about dentist, orthodontist, and knowledge about irregular teeth. Malocclusion always has an impact on social and psychological behavior of the general population. Hence, there is a need to explore about how individuals perceive and react to malocclusion and also utmost important to create awareness about treatment for malocclusion. Clinical Significance: At present, orthodontic treatments are commonly recognized as a treatment for malocclusion. The dentists especially orthodontists play a major role in this aspect, and this can be achieved by conducting education programs for patients and having advisory hubs on orthodontic treatment in rural areas, which will discuss benefits and likely complications to spread awareness among public.","PeriodicalId":31325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Research and Review","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135312412","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}
