Pain control and infection management is the foremost aim while performing the endodontic therapy. Therefore, use of analgesics and antibiotics becomes an integral part of dental procedures for treating dental infections and providing pain free procedures. Nowadays researches aim on finding medicaments with maximum efficacy and minimal side-effects.

Thirty extracted teeth with single roots without fractures or defects, presenting with closed apices, were randomly divided into three groups, with each group containing ten samples. The samples were decoronated, standardizing the length of the samples to 15 mm uniformly. Canal instrumentation was done using ProTaper Universal rotary files upto size #F3 and lateral compaction technique was used for obturation with 2% taper standardized gutta-percha along with each of the three different sealers. After obturation and final setting of the sealers, the specimens were sectioned and observed under the stereomicroscope to check the integrity of the obturation and were then subjected to push-out bond strength test. The results of the test revealed that the push-out bond strength of BioRoot RCS was greater compared...

Hence, the entire dental care team has to follow the current COVID-19 related infection control protocols. The study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices associated with infection control methods during dental procedures among dental practitioners during the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Methods the online questionnaire consisted of four sections namely, demographic details, eight questions on knowledge, four questions on attitude and eight questions on the practice of dentists during COVID-19 pandemic. One point was attributed for a correct response and zero point for an incorrect response. The study used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression models in Jamovi 1.8.1 to establish relationships between knowledge, attitude, and practices among dental professionals and their demographic characteristics. Results among 384 dentists, 294 (76.6%) were aware...

We wish to demonstrate the virulence factors of Candida spp. isolated from the dental caries lesion of the children as presence of virulence factors determines the pathogenic potential of any microorganism. To compare biofilm production, phospholipase and haemolytic activity of C.albicans with that of non-albicans species of Candida isolated from dental caries lesions of children to evaluate the role of non- albicans species of Candida in formation of dental caries. Oral swabs were collected from caries lesion of 100 school children of age 5-10 years with dental caries. Candida isolates were tested for biofilm production, phospholipase and haemolytic activity. Statistical analysis was done by Chi-Square test and Mann-Whitney U test wherever applicable using SPSS version 11.5. Out of the 100 children with dental caries 37 were positive for ...
