The major portion of the crown part of a damaged anterior tooth could be restored with a core build-up material which not only reinstate aesthetics but also withstand an array of forces in the oral cavity. \u0000\u0000Aim: To evaluate the Shear Bond Strength(SBS) of Zirconomer, Resin Modified Glass Ionomer cement(RMGIC), Microhybrid Composite and Nanocomposite as core build-up materials in maxillary anterior teeth. \u0000\u0000Methodology: 48 extracted intact human maxillary central incisors were collected and divided into four groups.Anatomic crown was trimmed upto fifty percent which involved the enamel and partly the dentin of each tooth. The experimental teeth were mounted in chemical cure acrylic resin and restored with Zirconomer, RMGIC, Microhybrid Composite and Nanocomposites.

The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, awareness, and attitude of dental interns of Central Vidarbha toward dental implants. A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor.\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000The analysis protocol was approved by the institutional ethical committee of college. The study was administered out on dental interns studying in dental colleges of Central Vidarbha\u0000\u0000A cross-sectional based study was designed. A questionnaire was distributed among Intern of Dental Colleges in Central Vidarbha\u0000\u0000There were total 300 interns from all the dental colleges of central vidarbha but only 287 interns participated in study. There were about 57 male students and 230 female students. The questionnaire consisted of total 15 questions. The entire questionnaire was got validated. The Inclusion criterion was all the willing interns of all dental institutes in Central Vidarbha. The unwilling students were the exclusion criteria.
