Introduction: Non carious lesions are multicausal clinical status with wide diversity of prevalence among individuals and populations. Several etiologic backgrounds may simultaneously play role in the incidence of this condition. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of non carious tooth wear and to point out the strength of correlation between occlusal, incisal and cervic...

AIM The aim of this report is to describe the relationship of some salivary parameters to dental erosion resulting from excessive citric acid consumption and present a description of a prosthetic approach used to restore the damaged dentition of a patient with severe erosion. BACKGROUND The high consumption of dietary sources of acids can lead to erosion or the excessive wear of dental hard t...

Objective: The current study aimed to outline the main factors contributing dental sensitivity. Methods: research used cross-sectional-study design since it involves analysing information from a population at particular time. reports primary focus is on evaluating risk of sensitivity in population. cross-sectional helped researcher get valuable that can be analysed theories and conduct detailed...

Dentinal hypersensitivity has been referred to as one of the most painful and chronic dental conditions, with a reported prevalence of between 4% and 57% in the general population and a higher prevalence in periodontal patients. It may also occur as a result of, or during, dental treatment. Clinicians must screen for dentinal hypersensitivity and diagnose by exclusion, determine appropriate tre...

Nanotechnology is a cutting-edge concept that evolving manifolds in various fields of science and medicine by no means exceptional to dentistry. popularly known as the ‘science small’ deals with particles size 1-10nm. Methods like top-down or bottom-up approaches are used manufacturing nanoparticles nanorobots, catering needs medical diagnostics therapeutics. Nanorobotics advances through minia...

Methods: articles published until March 2021 were searched Medline/PubMed, LILACS, BBO, Web of Science databases. The search used a combination descriptors related words: obesity, surgery, health. Results: one hundred thirty-five studies identified database search. Of these, 47 in...

This paper reports the management of two clinical cases, in which the upper right central incisor was fused with a supernumerary tooth and the upper left central incisor was macrodontic. A radiographic examination revealed that the fused teeth had two separate roots. Hemisectioning of the fused teeth was performed, the supernumerary portion was extracted and the remaining part was reshaped to r...

BACKGROUND Luting agents used to fix artificial prostheses, such as fixed partial denture (FPD) to tooth are basically viscous in nature and show chemical reaction for fixation. Postcementation hypersensitivity is a frequent complaint of patients. The present study was conducted to compare postcementation hypersensitivity with zinc phosphate and self-adhesive resin in complete coverage crown. ...

OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to compare the in vivo efficacy and safety of dentifrices containing either 5% NovaMin or 5% potassium nitrate, and a non-desensitizing dentifrice, on dentin hypersensitivity in a four-week, double-blind clinical study among a population in south India. In addition, a companion scanning electron microscopy evaluation was performed to demonstrate wheth...
