Abstract: Background:The success of endodontic treatment depends on completely removing all vital and necrotic pulp tissue, microorganisms, and microbial toxins from the root canal. During the cleaning and shaping process, the canal is shaped through the interaction between instruments and the dentin walls. These interactions can create several temporary stress points within the dentin, which may lead to the development of dentinal defects, craze lines, or microcracks. As a result, the techniques employed for shaping root canals carry the risk of starting crack formation, which, under.....

Abstract: Plummer Vinson syndrome (PVS) is a rare entity characterized mainly by upper dysphagia, iron-deficiency anemia, and the presence of an esophageal ring on endoscopic examination. We conducted a retrospective study over a period of 18 years describing the epidemiological and clinical profile, endoscopic management and the medium and long-term evolution. A total of 96 patients were enrolled, with a median age of 41,5 years and a clear female predominance (19/77). dysphagia was present....

Abstract: Primary objective of full mouth rehabilitation is the restoring the teeth to optimal physiological and functional balance . Planning a comprehensive course of treatment for a number of missing teeth can be difficult, particularly when the vertical dimension (VD) of the occlusion is reduced. In this case report the sequential methodical interdisciplinary approach employed to treat multiple missing teeth with a loss of VD is described. The patient receives a temporary prosthesis by increasing the vertical dimension.A definitive reconstruction using a fixed prosthesis....

Abstract: Emerging and re-emerging viral infections are major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans and animals. India had experienced numerous infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics in past years. However, tremendous strides have been achieved in the past in the fight against serious epidemic diseases. It has been found that a wide range of complex factors, such as pathogen evolution, human invasion, commerce in wild animals, microbial adaptation, changes in the environment and dynamic interactions between humans and animals influence the emergence and transmission of infectious viral diseases. As the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated, India's.....

Abstract: The general dental practitioners and other non-orthodontic specialists can play the role of orthodontic health educators. Dentists have the responsibility to recognize, diagnose, and manage or refer abnormalities in the developing dentition. Hence for proper counseling and referral, general dentists and non-orthodontic specialists must have adequate level of orthodontic knowledge. Aim and objective: This study aims to determine and evaluate the knowledge and attitude of general dentists and non-orthodontic specialists towards early......
