The subjects were randomly divided into two equal groups of A and B. At baseline, samples of saliva were collected to check Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus levels and indices like Oral Hygiene Index (1960), Modified Turesky Plaque Index (1970), Stain Index (1968) and Gingival Index (1963) were recoded. Group A received Conventional toothpastes (Colgate cavity protection) and Group B received Probiotic toothpastes (Purexa). For the next 15 days, they were instructed to brush using only the allotted toothpastes. The saliva sample collection and recording of indices were repeated after 15 days post intervention.\u0000Results : Gingival and oral hygiene indices showed significant differences of mean in Group B (0.14, 0.28; p<0.05 respectively). A significant difference of means was noted between Group A and B in the case of Plaque, Stain, Oral Hygiene indices and the bacterial count (Lactobacilli and Streptococcus mutans) (A :0.10, -0.12, 0.01; B :0.06, 0.09, 0.28 and -12.8, -14.8 ; p<0.05 respectively).\u0000Conclusion : The probiotic toothpastes illustrated a significant reduction of Lactobacillus, Streptococcus mutans bacterial count, Stain, Plaque and Oral Hygiene index scores compared to conventional toothpastes.","PeriodicalId":47247,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Society of Preventive and Community Dentistry","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82891245","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 investigation was started to identify the potential exposure and possible recommendation and education to the villagers on waste management. Hence the aim of the research was to investigate the rural resident’s practices in solid waste disposal and their health hazard implications to the community in Mappedu village.\u0000Materials and methods : Two methods such as the observation and questionnaire survey was employed in the current research. No waste collection system was present in the village based on observation method. Dumping of waste was most common among the villagers and burning of waste were also common as there was inadequate awareness among the people as burning waste produces harmful gases. Diseases which are very prone to lack of hygiene such as dengue, malaria, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, typhoid and worm diseases were projected from the questionnaire. To minimize the risk of environment and human health appropriate hygiene practices and proper disposal of waste needs to be practiced.\u0000Results : Most of the rural residents disposed the waste at a common point and minimal waste were burnt.

Passive smokers are people exposed to cigarette smoke in two ways : by direct exposure to the smoke of passively burning cigarette and exposure to the smoke breathed out by the smoker. Second-hand smoke is the mixture of direct smoke from burning a cigarette along with the smoke breathed out from the smoker’s lungs. As a result, side stream smoke has higher concentration of some toxic and carcinogenic substances than the mainstream smoke.

It deteriorates the quality of life and has negative effects on the oral cavity, including pain induction, tooth structural damage, cavity development and tooth decay. The traditional technique of treating dental caries often entails rotary burs, local anesthesia, electrical supply and skilled workers. The development of atraumatic restorative therapy (ART) was prompted by the need to treat dental caries in children and the impoverished in less developed nations with limited access to dental facilities and qualified practitioners. Atraumatic restorative treatment treats decaying teeth with manual excavation rather than local anesthesia, rotary burs or advanced dental equipment.

In vitro tests are essential for quickly delivering the knowledge required about the effectiveness of more recent sealant brands. Consequently, the objective of the current study was to assess and contrast the viscosity and length of resin tags on permanent molars of conventional and hydrophilic sealants. \u0000Materials and Methods: Twenty extracted third molars were split into two groups at random, one receiving conventional sealant (Clinpro 3M ESPE), and the other receiving hydrophilic sealant (UltraSeal XT Hydro). Each tooth's occlusal surfaces underwent an acid etchant pretreatment before the appropriate sealants were applied. Afterwards thermocycling and longitudinal sectioning were applied to both groups. For the purpose of measuring the length of the resin tag, the sectioned tooth specimens were examined under a scanning electron microscope. An Anton Paar viscometer was used to measure viscosities. The difference between the mean resin tag length of Group I and Group II sealants was compared using an independent t-test. \u0000Results: The mean resin tag length of Group II (10.07+/- 1.01m) was found to be higher than Group I (7.49+/- 0.94m), and this difference was statistically significant (P = 0.001). The viscosity measurements of Groups I and II were determined to be 0.8 mega Pascal (MPa) and 0.6 MPa, respectively. \u0000Conclusion: Based on the findings of the current investigation, it can be said that Group II sealants generated resin tags of sufficient length and had lower viscosities than Group I sealants. Thus, a hydrophilic sealant outperformed a conventional sealant in terms of performance.","PeriodicalId":47247,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Society of Preventive and Community Dentistry","volume":"82 9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88067741","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}
