Discussion Of Biodentine And The Aspects Of Dentinal Pressures

If left untreated, pulp infection can lead to abscess, destruction of bone, and systemic infection (Cawson et al. 1982; USDHHS 2000). Various sources have concluded that water fluoridation has been an effective method for preventing dental decay (Newbrun 1989; Ripa 1993; Horowitz 1996; CDC 2001; Truman et al. 2002). Water fluoridation is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as one of the 10 great public health achievements in the United States, because of its role in reducing tooth decay in children and tooth loss in adults (CDC 1999). Each U.S. Surgeon General has endorsed water fluoridation over the decades it has been practiced, emphasizing that “[a] significant advantage of water fluoridation is that all residents of a community can enjoy its protective benefit…. A person’s income level or ability to receive dental care is not a barrier to receiving fluoridation’s health benefits” (Carmona 2004). As noted earlier, this report does not evaluate nor make judgments about the benefits, safety, or efficacy of artificial water fluoridation. That practice is reviewed only in terms of being a source of exposure to

Dentofacial orthopedic therapy usually focuses on correcting potential bite and spacial problems by guiding the growth and development of the jaw. We do this by using orthodontic appliances such as mouthguards, space maintainers, retainers, expanders, and other devices.

The force to the teeth is minimal. This means that the treatment offers an optimal level of

Major dental issues caused by traumatic injury to the mouth or extensive decay can cause a significant amount of pain and discomfort for many patients. However, crowns and bridges made from high-quality materials can help restore your teeth for a more comfortable chewing experience. To correct significant tooth damage,

Tooth bonding is an easy procedure that will allow you to erase your small cosmetic imperfections and help you achieve a more beautiful smile. This procedure is noninvasive and quick to undergo — we simply cover up your flaws with a composite material that is then hardened into place. This is much like filling a cavity, except for cosmetic problems!

The morphological configuration of the occlusal surface of the first permanent molar is the most vulnerable and susceptible tooth surface to dental decay and the incidence of caries on these surfaces is still rising. There are occasions where the fissures of these teeth are stained and at the time of deciding the appropriate treatment the question arises whether we should or we should not treat them. When there are dentists that think that seal over a stained fissure is the right treatment choice, there is evidence suggested by others that a stained fissure should not be treated as a sound fissure.

Bracket failure increases the time spent in surgery for repairs and the overall treatment time. At present orthodontics can choose between three groups of adhesives which may be set with a chemical reaction or curing light. Some adhesives may prevent early decay around brackets because they contain fluoride. There is only weak unreliable evidence that one adhesive may possibly have more failures associated with it and another adhesive may be more protective against early decay.

The table above illustrates, that, the number of times an amalgam restoration needs replacement, due to durability/mechanical flaws like fracture, loss of bonding and leakage, is less as compared to the other filling material. Arvind Shenoy points out that the reason for great functioning and survival of dental amalgam restorations is the anti-corrosive effects of the zinc and copper content of the alloy (100). Owing to the high endurance property and long life of dental amalgam, it can be used for a wide range of restorations. It is suitable for all kinds of posterior cavities, be it small, large, deep or

Several studies have already investigated the biomechanical properties of biocomposite suture anchors, on the other hand just a little data were published concerning the biocompatibility and the biodegradation of suture anchors composed of PLLA and osteoconductive material after a prolonged follow

Growing acceptance of esthetic preparations focused on durability and bond realization of the restorations. Sufficient isolation and infection control is essential before bonding processes. Realizing moisture control is a problem faced the clincal, particularly when rubber dam isolation is unpracticable.

However, WMTA has extended setting time and can only be used in low stress-bearing areas (Camilleri et al., 2008). The other drawbacks of WMTA are discolouration potential, difficult handling characteristics, high material cost, and the difficulty of its removal after curing (Parirokh et al., 2010). According to the manufacturer, and proved by clinical experience, a colour change of MTA is to be expected and should not be used in visible areas (above the crestal bone level) (Bortoluzzi et al., 2007). One in vitro study had reported that all WMTA samples showed discolouration 3 days after placing the material into a mould that was in contact with phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (Parirokh et al., 2010). MTA has been considered as an alternative material to gutta-percha for root canal obturation but there is difficulty in obturation of curved root canals, discoloration potential, and long setting time (Bogen et al.,

In vivo human studies have also shown the biostimulatory effects of LLLT on orthodontic tooth movement (table 4). Cruz applied 780 nm diode laser to investigate the amount of tooth movement and found significant acceleration after application of 50J/cm2 (Cruz et al. 2004). The same wavelength of laser and energy input was used by Sousa who also reported significant increase in velocity of tooth movement (da Silva Sousa et al. 2011). However Limpanichkul and Heravi found LLLT ineffective in producing significant difference in velocity of orthodontic tooth movement pertaining to the use of higher energy density (21.4 J) by Heravi and very low energy input described by Limpanichkul; as the most effective range of LLLT for biomodulation is reported to be 0.5-4 J/cm2 (Mester, Mester, and Mester 1985; Limpanichkul et al. 2006; Heravi, Moradi, and Ahrari). Genc investigated acceleration along with the levels of nitric oxide in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) after application of LLLT. He also found increase in velocity of tooth movement, while there was no significant changes in the level of nitric oxide reported (Genc et al. 2013). Doshi Mehta used lower energy input, which was found effective in acceleration of canine retraction simultaneously reducing the pain associated with the

We considered the formation of cervical calcific bridge a good indicator for presence of vital tissue inside the previously necrotic canals that was able to react and precipitate calcific bridges. 40-41 recorded the presence of a hard tissue bridge under the MTA in the coronal portion of the root. 39evaluated the responses of immature teeth to revitalization therapy and mentioned that it is not known why a hard tissue barrier was formed in the canal space between the coronal MTA plug and the root apex in two cases out of twenty in their case series. We agreed with the explanation of 10 who discussed its formation may be due to the good biocompatibility and less cytotoxicity of MTA which allow cell proliferation and cell attachment.

Internal resorption of teeth may also produce larger pulp chambers due to loss of pulpal dentin.
