Glenoid Navicular bone Decrease in Neck Fluctuations: Virtue involving Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography more than Two-Dimensional Permanent magnetic Resonance Image resolution Employing Established Technique.
Logistic regression showed that combination of plaque index (PI), RSH, RSV, RSpH and SSM provided accurate association (permanent teeth 92.1%, primary teeth 100%) of caries status and PI plus BCSS provided accurate association (permanent teeth 92.1%, primary teeth 93%) of gingival health status.

This study has suggested that combination of salivary characteristics, PI and SSM levels could provide significant association of caries and gingival health statuses of children.

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a highly alkaline solution which exhibits antimicrobial properties. However, it causes corrosion to endodontic rotary files. This study investigated the effect of NaOCl on the metal surface of five different unused endodontic rotary files
.

Two non-heat-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) files, ProTaper, BioRace, and three heat-treated NiTi files, VortexBlue, TRUShape, and EdgeFile X7 files, were immersed in 4% NaOCl for 5, 10, and 20 min, and 1, 6 and 24 h. The corrosion susceptibility was evaluated by visual inspection and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

In the TRUShape group, the black particulate matter was mostly formed at the file's curvature and shaft. A large amount of precipitate accumulated in the EdgeFile group. The extent and prevalence of surface defects were found to be consistently higher in EdgeFile X7 instruments than in any other instruments. EdgeFile X7 and TRUShape files exhibited a greater corrosive tendency to NaOCl than BioRace, ProTaper, and VortexBlue not only under visual inspection, but also under SEM analysis after prolonged immersion (1, 6, 24 h) in 4% NaOCl. However, shorter immersion periods (5, 10, 20 min) showed little surface corrosion across all experimental groups.

Within the limitations of this study, EdgeFile X7 and TRUShape files exhibit greater corrosive tendencies to NaOCl
than BioRace, ProTaper, and VortexBlue files after prolonged immersion in 4% NaOCl. However, shorter immersion periods, which more closely approximate clinical conditions during single root canal therapy, may not show surface corrosion across all experimental groups.

This study aimed to compare the effect of four approaches in the treatment of TMJ disc displacement without reduction (DDwoR).

Thirty-two patients (40 joints) with mean age 28.025 ± 7.18 (23 female patients and nine male patients) were assigned randomly into four groups (10 joints in each group). Group I, patients were treated by centric splint. Group II, patients were treated by distraction splint. Group III, patients were treated by arthrocentesis and centric splint, while group IV patients were treated by arthrocentesis and distraction splint. The groups were compared in terms of joint function (mouth opening), joint pain through joint palpation, and use of visual analog scale (VAS). These records were taken preoperatively, two weeks, one month, three, and six months postoperatively. Also, the presence of disc recapture was evaluated in all patients on MRI at the end of the treatment period.

Significant improvements in all parameters were recorded in all groups. At two weeks postoperatively, there was a significant improvement in all parameters in group III and group IV than group I and group II, while there was no statistical difference between group III and group IV. Regarding mouth opening and joint palpation, there was a significant improvement in group III than group I and group II. Also, there was a significant improvement in group IV than group II at the subsequent follow-up periods. Regarding VAS, at one and three months postoperatively, there was a significant improvement in group III than other groups.

However, both types of splints provide better results without a statistical difference; the simultaneous application of arthrocentesis and occlusal splint decreases pain and improving the function effectively and more rapidly.

Calcium hydroxide-based materials were the gold standard in vital pulp therapies for decades' despite of several shortcomings. However, calcium silicates have been discussed as an alternative to overcome these drawbacks. It was aimed to investigate the in-vivo effectiveness of different calcium silicates based materials in pulp capping in this study.

A parallel-design, randomized controlled trial with 213 patients who has deep dentin caries, vital pulps and without spontaneous pain or history of swelling was designed. 525 M teeth were randomized, blinded and allocated to one of the five groups for pulp capping treatment (n = 105). All teeth were followed up clinically and radiographically (after 1st, 6th, 12th and 36th months) by blinded investigators. The clinical and radiographic success, and the effect of the pulp exposure to the success rate analyzed with Wald chi-square and Z tests.

Clinical and radiographic success of MTA+ (86.3%, 85.4%) and Biodentine (79.4%, 80.1%) were found the highest. Although results of Theracal LC group (72.1%, 73.6%) were better than Dycal group (69.4%, 70.2%), the difference was nonsignificant (p>0.05). Only in light-cured groups, (TheraCal LC & LC Calcihyd) pulpal exposure size effected the success of the materials (p<0.05). MTA+ and Biodentine resulted better scores, when compared with TheraCal LC in large pulpal exposures (p<0.05).

After 36-month follow-up, both MTA+ and Biodentine were found to be the appropriate material for direct pulp capping in permanent teeth. The filler ingredient of the Theracal-LC eases the usage of calcium silicates but decreases the success rate.
