Comparative Evaluation of Fracture Resistance in Endodontically Treated Teeth Using Four Intraorifice Barrier Materials – An In Vitro Study

Aim: This study aimed to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated mandibular premolars using four different intraorifice barrier materials.Materials and methods: Fifty extracted single-rooted mandibular premolars were decoronated, instrumented and obturated.The c...

Oral and perioral changes in professional morsing players: a descriptive exploratory pilot study

The morsing, a traditional South Indian jaw harp, is played by holding two metal forks against the anterior teeth. Prolonged playing of mouth-contact musical instruments may be accompanied by structural and functional changes in the oral and perioral regions. The effects of morsi...

Clove oil nanoemulsion as a delivery system for Acmella oleracea mediated silver nanoparticles to curtail growth and biofilm in bacterial pathogens causing dental caries

Abstract Dental issues are a global concern affecting individuals of all ages. Oral microorganisms, including Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis , contribute to gum inflammation and tooth detachment by forming biofilms that demineralize enamel and promote denture biof...

Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Type I Associated with Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Clinical, Radiographic, and Histopathological Findings

Background: Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is an autosomal dominant hereditary developmental defect of dentin that affects both primary and permanent teeth. DI Type I is linked with OI (osteogenesis imperfecta), a generalized connective tissue disorder characterized by increased...

Pilot validation of a piezo‑resistive gnathodynamometer for maximum voluntary bite force measurement in adults: a cross sectional comparative study

Maximum voluntary bite force (MVBF) is a key indicator of masticatory system function, influenced by cranio-mandibular biomechanics, neuromuscular coordination, and dental status. Conventional bite force devices, though widely used, are limited by their bulk and potential discomf...
